The Cynic Says……

First T-mobile had the magenta razr, which was damn close to being hot pink. Now Verizon counters with the fucking pink razr! I’m pretty sure it’ll be a big hit with the uber-girly crowd out there…. and probably a few fags to boot. Amusingly, Motorola makes a pink H500 bluetooth headset that will go with the phone quite nicely. I guess Motorola’s trying to corner the girly market or something. The only real problems I see are the fact that the razr is insanely wide, thus not being a good fit for those girls with really really small hands. Overall, the razr is an ok phone but I think it’s a bit overpriced. The other thing is that most females aren’t very tech savvy and thus won’t really have much use for a bluetooth headset…. or at least they won’t realize that they ARE a huge convenience to have. Either way, I guess it’s kinda cool to see that tech companies have stopped catering exclusively to us geeks of the world. Let’s just hope that they realize that in order for girls to become more accustomed to making use of high tech stuff that it has to be fairly easy to use. The razr DOES have the standard Verizon interface so anyone upgrading from a recent LG or pretty much any other non-Motorola phone made in the past year or so is going to be able to figure out the menu system pretty easily. I’ll be curious to see how many of these things I see out and about once Verizon starts selling it in stores. Right now it’s only available online… They usually do that for about 2-3 weeks before they launch it in stores.
