Canceled Motorola RAZR3 reemerges as KLASSIC in South Korea
Filed under: Handsets, Motorola, CDMA
When the bulk of your business suddenly shifts virtually all of its marketing and engineering resources to Android, certain thinks are bound to fall through the cracks — take the “Ruby,” for example, once said to be the fallen would-be successor to the RAZR 2. We guess Moto got far enough along on engineering with this one that they figured they’d toss it over to one of its lower-volume markets rather than canning it altogether, though, because the higher-end flip has reemerged in South Korea as the KLASSIC. For anyone who keeps track of these sorts of stats, that’s exactly three more letters than the typical Moto model name has, but the phone breaks all sorts of rules — after all, it combines an old-school 2G radio (which in operator SKT’s case, means CDMA) with a relatively fresh 5 megapixel cam, not unlike the ZN5. There’s no word on a release outside South Korea at this point, but frankly, we’re pretty sure the DROID would eat it anyhow.
