3 Welcomes Back Motorola

Mobile network 3  is to offer Motorola handsets as part of its range for the first time in over 18 months with the introduction of the RAZR2 V9. The move adds another major brand to 3’s portfolio and is being backed by an extensive store staff training programme. 17 ‘MOTOAGENTS’ will tour the entire 3Store base throughout March and April to help reintroduce the Motorola brand to 3 staff and customers.
“Motorola’s renewed focus on powerful 3G handsets like the RAZR2 V9 means we can welcome them back into 3’s growing portfolio,” says 3 Director of Products, Fergal Walker 
The RAZR2 V9 is available from 3Stores and Three.co.uk from this Thursday, 13 March. Slimmer, stronger and faster than its predecessors, the HSDPA handset features a stainless steel case, chemically-hardened glass and a touch-sensitive screen. It also incorporates a high-speed processor that Motorola says will enable the V9 to respond 10 times as fast as the original V3.
“Motorola is delighted to be working with 3 on the launch of the Motorola RAZR2 V9 across the UK,” says Jim Michel, General Manager, UK & Ireland for Motorola. “The rich capabilities of the RAZR2 V9 are a perfect match for the advanced services and experiences available through the 3 mobile network. Together, we have great expectations for how the product will perform in retail and are looking forward to building a portfolio of Motorola products available on 3 in the future.”
