Motorola has officially announced the RIZR Z3, or what we have known in rumors as the Capri. It's the first slide-style handset in the RAZR design series that is destined for a US launch (there was one prior to now just for the Asian market).
Features of the Motorola RIZR Z3 include:
Motorola is planning on shipping the RIZR Z3 in the second half of the year. A photo gallery is available below.
Other phones announced by Motorola today include the KRZR K1 (and K1m), RAZR XX, RAZR MAXX and SLVR L7c.

I believe it's spring assisted, so start sliding it and the phone will finish for you.
I like how it finishes the sliding for you but eh.. LG KG800 > this.
I'll have to play with it before deciding, but it looks pretty stylish. But you're right about the KG800, now that's hot.
head over to mobileburn.com for a video
I keep seeing RIZR and think I made a typo... So close. Luckily I think it's correct in all the stories.
It looks a lot like the samsung d807.
how do you pronounce that? Raiser? Rizer?
Jermaine, it's pronounced Riser. Since it slides up, sort of makes sense. SLDR might have made a tad more SNSE, but I don't come up with the names.
Is it just me or does this phone look pretty thick, it's not huge, but it could be thinner and smaller.
Too bad every phone I've ever seen from LG sucked when it came to reception. Was constantly losing signal, and definitely noticed it seemed to have issues switching cell towers when I owned one.
Yeah too bad this is a Motorola...
I dunno, i'll reserve my comments until a CDMA version of this phone drops.
Ray, to be fair I think Tiabin was referring to the part of the discussion above concerning the LG Chocolate line... The RIZR is obviously a Motorola.
It doesn't really seem that thick, 2mm more than the RAZR. But I guess I will have to pick it up first before really knowing how it feels.
Now if Motorola would just learn how to write decent software to go on such a device...
I just hope that if this phone gets ported to Verizon, that they don't mess with the software and disable bluetooth song transfer like they did with the RAZRs.
When will they get smart and put Windows Mobile on it? 5 new RAZR/SLVR's and no Smartphones. What a waste.
Anybody try it yet?

The thing that has always disappointed me about Motorola Phones is there software. All I want is an address book that groups multiple phone numbers for a contact under the contact name. I don't want multiple listings for the same person in the main part of the address book. Why is that so hard for phone manufactures to understand?
is it just me and Dylon Knowles that noticed that samsung has 2 models that look like this
the D807 and the T809
Phil, the phonebook app in the RIZR has been updated versus the last gen of Motorola's. I haven't used it extensively, but it is improved. Here's what Rich from PhoneScoop has to say:
'As anyone who has ever used a Motorola phone can attest, the phone book has long been the most embarrassingly awful part of Motorola's UI. Fortunately, it has been seriously overhauled in this new version. It's now completely on par with the rest of the industry, and even offers a few unique innovations that might put it slightly ahead of the pack.'

It uses the more standard one person is one entry thought process. Like everyone else. Hope that helps!
I checked out the LG KG800 and I've got to say that I rather prefer the touchpad buttons on the RIZR over the clunky LG buttons anyday. Touchpads are the way of the future.
i think this phone will be perfect. it has all the features i want a 2.0 cam the more the merry. i've being with mototrola for a long time i always get motorola right now i have the moto V635 it's cool i will be keping befor that i had the moto timeport which was cool also mototrola is a very good company. i want that phone
yea bruce is rite. motorola has great phones. rite now i have da SLVR L6 and its great. when dis phone comes 2 da U.S ima definetly get.
Look's nice.
I haven't use the sliding phone of motorola, but I would like to use it.This phone also lacks FM reciever like SLVR & RAZR. Nice to see the 2.0 mp cam, with more memory.
Looks very nice. Motorola needs to make a cdma version. Id drop big bucks to buy it unlocked then pay activation on verizon, i wouldnt care to get a phone that nice. To bad verizon has no cool phones. I dont know why motorola doesnt just release all there phones to every service provider, im sure they would make more money that way.
i bet this phone is released 11-10-06
Man I'm in love =). It seemed kinda icky when all I saw was a blue RIZR but now I see black!=D. me and some friends at school where working to get a Z imported for ourselves but now I gotta spread the good news that we don't have to work on it anymore.
man is that a flash I see by the camera? someone please explain. I hope It comes out with iTunes. If not I'm gonna have to install it myself =(. I hope it isn't like the V3i which just wouldn't let u put iTunes on it. Anyways Motorola Keep it up and I'm expecting DirecTV dish to be one of the 5 features on the SCPL.
damn some1 better call 911 cuz this ones the bomb!
nicest phone i have ever seen i love this phone it is reallly nice i think this phone will sell good for them. i will buy this phone first day. good job.

Can't wait until this phone comes out. Any specifics on the release date yet? Motorola doesn't have anything on their website.
i was wondering what everyone was talking about softwarte and downloading itunes and everything else? im kinda new to this soo can someone explain it all??
Ever seen how many samsung phones are identical to the razr? At least Moto has ideas of their own.
Get bent Razor Fags!!!
That phones the size of toilet paper...I can swipe my butt crack with dat !
i like Razr, i have a ringtone called the
Razor-Gator song, on it.
see www.Razor-Gator.com
I need a phone like this when will it be for sale?
yo where or when will it b for sell i want it bad
On al the pictures of the phone on the motorola website, there is a date on the screen of the rizr. The date on the phones is 11/10/06. websites have said that the phone is going to be released in qaurter 4 and 11/10/06 is in quarter 4. Its just a hunch, but maybe that could be the release date.
check http://www.motorola.com/motoinfo/product/images.jsp?globalObjectId=162 to see the pictures im talking about

when will this phone come out in the u.s.?
Mike, areyou retarded? Samsung has been making phones way longer then Motorola was even making money. Samsung is an innovator, Motorola just sucks.
I love all the motorola fanboys and tech-ignorant retards in here. "OMFGDISFONE IS DA BOMBLOLZORS!!!! ITZ SOO KEWL BCAUSE IT LOOKS NICE!!! LOLZORLSOLS!"
This phone looks like a piece of crap, motorola makes THE worst phones in the world. How is this better then the buttons on the Chocolate phone?
Touchpads AREN'T the way of the future. Have you seen how messed up and unreliable touchpads are now? Motorola and their phones have always been trash. Looks nice? It might look somewhat nice, (Not really, looks like crap.) but who the hell cares what the phone looks like. Since when did technology become about fashion? The samsung d900 can kick this things ass. The Nokia N93, SK Telecom Helios and a ton of other phones are better than this piece of 2 cent trash.
What does VGA for camera phones stand for?
$1550.00 for it?????????????? HELLO.......
Is it mainstream over sea's And can you import it? Does anybody know the price range
This website says in December. http://www.infosyncworld.com/us/productguide/index.html start=5&offset=10&cat=&cat2=&cat4=Motorola%20phones&manufacturer=&market=&a=&order=

ulovemikeroch- i think YOU are the retarded one (excuse my repeating your horrible word). Your crass abuse of the english language aside, Motorola has been making portable phones since 1973- Samsung entered the market much much later.
You are a stupid, ignorant ASS!
anyone know if the RIZR utilizes a metal case like the RAZR? this is pretty key for me; love the solid quality feel of the RAZR and its metal cousins.
It would be sweet if it had itunes.
How much is this phone...I WANT IT
I cant wait until this phone comes out. im going to get rid of my V3 and get this one! anyone know how much it's going to cost?
I saw a seller at google base for $1449.99 and ebay for $1489.99
http://base.google.com/base/a/injoymall/1366815/D10522288997705775004
and its only GSM compatible meaing cingular and T-mobile.
These phones are obsolete. The future is the PDA phones with GPS-3G capability. If you can't use your future phone for all the new technological advances in video conferencing (3G), FM radio, document e-mailing and navigational capabilities then your wasting your money.
has the rizr been officially release and avail to buy?
Hey you guys wanna know why they don't have smartphones with moto things. Because camera phones are band in most courtrooms and thats were most people use them is in the business world.
does anyone know if this is available for verizon customers?
also, when is it coming out??
is the Capro cel available to the public now ??
all r fuccen fags
ur all fags
Um, I don't understand why this phone is so f-ing expensive.
The other razr and slvr were only $200-$300 when they first came out, so what's the deal?
Is this phone really that much better?
GOD. this is AMAZING. when does it come out? im sooo getting it.
the price of MotoRIZR?and when i can buy it!!!!
this phone is really nice looking however if you look at it, it's the same basic thing as the samsung d807. I'd buy it if it were less, but supposedly the start price is going to be betweek 350 and 450 when it;s released for regular sale. The ones for sale on ebay and google are ones that are insiders in the the MOtorola company are selling. It will be a cool enuff phone, but samsungs are a higher quality in my book.
