Beckham kicks off MOTORAZR in Japan2 January 2007 by axxxr
Sporting the hot new device, the football icon popped up at ersatz appearances around Tokyo,Appearing with leading Japanese sportscaster Tomoaki Ogura on Best Moments in Sports 2006, Fuji-TV's highly rated year end sports program, Beckham showed the MOTORAZR in each of its three colors. In an exclusive announcement, the soccer icon also unveiled a one-of-a-kind customized “MOTORAZR tattoo keitei by David Beckham" that will be auctioned online or via MOTORAZR or other mobile phones at to raise money for UNICEF, in honor of Beckham’s role as UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador. Beckham then hosted a MOTORAZR fashion show at the popular Roppongi Hills Arena, cutting through the backdrop with his MOTORAZR, introducing the device to the several thousand people assembled at the event with the help of J-Wave personality Sean K, and demonstrating why the MOTORAZR is the "must-have" DoCoMo handset. The program, which began with traditional Taiko drums, continued with Beckham treating the crowd to a free-kick demonstration onstage and climaxed with Beckham drawing the name of a random MOTORAZR owner in the crowd, calling the winner on her MOTORAZR, and bringing her onstage for a photo and gifts. Beckham concluded the event by kicking specially-branded black and silver MOTORAZR balls into a mosh-pit at center-stage filled with MOTORAZR owners. MOTORAZR, available in Japan for only two weeks, is already the hottest selling mobile device in Japan, with the Hot pink, Neo black, and Cool silver handsets all topping the sales of DoCoMo's popular 7 series. Beckham finished the day with a spontaneous stop at a Motorola "touch-and-try" event in Shibuya, one of the world’s busiest and hippest shopping areas to thank all of the people who had already made MOTORAZR the mobile device champion in Japan.

I can't believe anyone in Japan would buy this phone. The RAZR was already obsolete when it was first released over *2 years ago* in *America* (which is far behind the rest of the world in mobile phones, especially Japan).
Nothing succeeds like success, I guess.

The RAZR is played out and not even that great of a phone. I had a V3i that I couldn't stand and sold it two weeks after I purchased it.
