Misleading and confusing mobile phone model names is not a new problem within the industry but it does present a major problem for online shoppers trying to get the best deal possible. We explain the different model names of a new Motorola phone and the best way to get exactly the right tariff and network to suit a customers needs.

The usual reasons for a new mobile phone being known by more than one name include online retailers adding the handsets to their website pages well before the model is released trying to gain some sort of traffic from the search engines, new models being submitted to the FCC for approval with the model name given to them when in research and development rather than the finished item and network operators changing the name to make an exclusive handset.

With the event of blogging whereas every man and his dog can now voice their opinion on the internet for the world to see, some bloggers have taken to almost fuelling rumours of new mobile phone models well before there official release, this then spreads as bloggers link to the story and potential customers are led to believe that the handset they are looking for is called something very different.
This presents a problem when searching the internet to get the best deal for their requirements, if different mobile phone sites are listing the handset under different names the searcher is unlikely to see all of the deals available.

The latest in a long line of these phones known by different names is the new Motorola RAZR2 V8, an upgrade to the popular RAZR series of a couple of years ago. Bloggers have speculated on the name well before the official release and so this handset is now listed in many ways:

Motorola V8

Motorola RAZR V8

Motorola RAZR2 V8

MOTORAZR V8

MOTORAZR2 V8

In order to see every single deal available for this new handset, the customer will need to search all of the names above before deciding on the perfect package for them, this is a time consuming business but the rewards will be far greater than just searching for the one name.
Regardless of how it is known, this new handset is the latest flip version of the RAZR and has been officially released in three colour variants, Black, Espresso Black and Silver editions with a new Gold version planned soon.

The Motorola RAZR V8, is one of two new handsets to be announced by Motorola as part of their second generation of RAZR’s.

The Motorola V8 is the lower spec of the two, with Quad Band GSM support and featuring EDGE technology whilst the V9 is expected soon.

Highlights of the Motorola V8 RAZR are touch sensitive dedicated music keys and a large QVGA external colour screen which displays the music track being played with song title, artist and time/duration of the song remaining.

The impressive 2 inch external screen allows the user to reply to text messages without the need to open the handset, making it easier and faster to keep in touch on the move.
If photography is your forfeit, the Motorola RAZR2 V8 is happy to oblige with its built-in 2.0 mega pixel camera featuring 8x digital zoom and video capture & playback capability.

Designed for strength, endurance and style, the Motorola RAZR2 V8 incorporates chemically hardened glass in a stainless steel casing, offers up to 2GB of memory, bluetooth wireless for imaging and printing, stereo bluetooth and PC synchronisation.

Browse online content, catch up with emails, share images and keep in touch via multimedia messaging or call handsfree, whatever your preference, the Motorola V8 ensures that you have a complete range of options to choose from.

In conclusion, the advice is that when searching for a new mobile phone deal make sure that you research the handset thoroughly and search for any other known names to get the best tariff and package combination to suit requirements.
