After months of heavy hype filled with subway posters and TV commercials, the Motorola RAZR 2 is now, finally, actually, yes, no really, hitting stores. The Motorola RAZR2 V9 is even thinner than the original (2 mm) with, thankfully, a newly reinforced hinge (how many have you broken?) and new features including vision calling, bluetooth music streaming, support for satellite radio, mobile television, and high-speed web browsing. It still has the 2 MP camera and the front display screen for multimedia control while shut. And, of course, its available through Rogers first where its going for $200 for a three-year contract.
