[size=5]In 2004 Motorola launched the Motorazr V3 cellular phone, an ultra-thin phone that became a design icon. More than 110 million units have been sold worldwide, making Razr an icon and one of the most popular cell phones of all time. The then Motorola CEO, Ed Zanderhad, had promised 500 million but the market got saturated with Razrs and many networks also gave it away for free. Motorola market share peaks around 23 per cent.
