The Motorola, Inc. announced that MOTORAZR² V8 Luxury Edition is available in the U.S. exclusively through MOTO STORE. Featuring the signature MOTORAZR² form factor with gold-plated accents (on medallions, navigation key and hinge) and embossed in a snakeskin-like texture, this sleek beauty is available unlocked for GSM networks.

The ultra-slim MOTORAZR² V8 Luxury Edition features elegant 18K gold-plated accents that highlight the luminous black slate vacuum-metal finish. A soft-touch back, embossed with a snakeskin-like texture, feels good in the hand, while subtle details, such as elegant pin stripes on the front lens, an engraved diamond-cut pattern on the sideband and linear etching on the navigation wheel look stunning.

This decadent mobile device provides users with an array of innovative, in-demand features. Without even opening the flip, users can read and respond to texts on the large, color external display, which also boasts touch-sensitive music controls, picture caller ID and self-portrait camera display. Motorola’s patented Crystal Talk technology helps enable clear calls by automatically accounting for background noise and adjusting the audio. Jet-setters will appreciate the device’s quad-band technology to stay connected while traveling the globe.
