Ultimate CES swag: The pink RAZR martini

We peeped these oversized martini glasses filled with glowing fake ice cubes and actual T-Mobile pink RAZRs on the tables at a Motorola press event at CES. By the end of the event, several had already vanished, and a puzzled Motorola CEO Ed Zander asked from the stage: "What are these? Are they real?" A Moto factotum responded that they were "decorations," but by that point, they were more likely writeoffs for Moto, and bonuses for the first person to grab one at each table.

So thats where they get the free pink RAZRS from when you shoot paris hilton!!!! One more mystery solved.

We've had these in the UK for 2 months now, very ugly and insanely intense to the naked eye.

Orange in Thailand sells the pink one for 12000 Thai Baht (approx. USD300)

Bought one for the wife for xmas, definitely recommend everybody does the same...if you know what I mean

Steve (#4),



Why should we all buy your wife a phone for her Christmas...?

T-Mobile pink RAZRs huh? WOW sounds exciting especially since pink is my favorite color. To all CODE PINK members (women for peace), this sounds like a very PINK-ISH way for us to stay in contact w/ each other. I certainly hope its not a bright hot pink??? Anyone...

[Ryan @ Jan 6th 2006 9:36AM]

Looks more magenta than pink to me.

[dave @ Jan 6th 2006 9:58AM]

Can we please vote to move beyond discussing the RAZR and all its stupid variants? Seriously.

[Matt @ Jan 6th 2006 12:34PM]

UTIMATE CES swag?



Don't ya mean Ultimate? Hehe

[Kiks @ Jan 6th 2006 3:59PM]

F*ckers... CES is a press-only thing, huh?



Shit, shit, shit.

[Just Tommy @ Jan 6th 2006 5:47PM]

I also got one for the wife.



Here's a tip: both you and the wife call T-Mobile, and then play the Account Specialists against each other. See who can get the better deal. We had to sign a 1 year contract, but we ended up getting $35 back after everything was said and done for this one.



Still doesn't come close to my SE W800.

Sorry Dave (#8), The RAZR is a cell phone icon. Not since the StarTAC have we seen this much hoopla surrounding a phone. Besides, guys like Steve (#4) are getting some because of it.

[Steven @ Jan 7th 2006 12:20AM]

I got one for my gf for christmas about a month early...then received a text message from it on christmas night dumping me! Can I win an award for most pathetic magenta razr story?

[Mayakovski @ Jan 7th 2006 4:05PM]

Well Jeb #5;



If you knew Steve's wife #4 like the rest of us do, it would make sense to buy her something nice.

[JBaxt @ Jan 8th 2006 12:14PM]

Steven you truly are the most pathetic person alive woot woot

[Alex CD @ Jan 29th 2006 3:53PM]

Why do women always dump you after you buy them a nice gift? - One for the 'code pink' girl
