No need to defog your spectacles, what you just read there in the headline is the truth. Astoundingly enough, Motorola’s nearly archaic (in cellphone years, anyway) RAZR V3 is still the top-selling handset in the United States. Of course, it helps that it’s highly subsidized on practically every carrier from coast to coast, but we’re still a little stunned that it’s selling this well nearly 2.5 years after Moto moved its 50 millionth unit. The rest of the top five isn’t nearly as shocking, with Apple’s iPhone snagging the silver, RIM’s BlackBerry Curve grabbing the bronze, LG’s Chocolate at number four and the BlackBerry Pearl at five. With the original RAZR still selling so well, one would think Motorola could just tweak it slightly and issue a second iteration for even more windfall profits. Er, wait.

During the first episode of the new season of Criminal Minds, FBI agent and resident neat-freak David Rossi just couldn’t shake the unsolved double homicide that he never could close a score ago. Oddly enough, that wasn’t the only mystery involved, as we’re still scratching our heads trying to figure out what’s so important on the lid of Mr. Rossi’s RAZR2. Maybe a super-secret 4G icon? Tommy Tutone’s most favorite dame’s number? The infamous Sad Moto face? Whatever it was, we’re fairly certain a highly concealed RAZR2 is superior to the lowly RAZR Derek Morgan is still getting issued. What’s a man got to do to get a leg-up, anyway?

Like peanut butter and jelly, oil and vinegar, and Benny and Joon, some things just go together. If you thought the words “Blade Runner” and the industrial design of the RAZR were always “meant to be,” your day has finally come. Enter the Blade Runner MP4 player — the PMP that looks like a phone, but acts like far, far, far less. The device has lots of familiar media player features, but let’s be honest: all the information you need about this baby is up in that photo above. Own the magic today for $49.99.

We still think it’s a little early in the RAZR 2’s life to be changing up colors and trimmings and turning it into a special edition, but what do we know? As expected, Motorola’s announced the “Luxury Edition” of the EDGE-only RAZR 2 V8, trimming the phone with 18 and 24 karat gold accents, a black “vacuum metal” finish, etched sides and nav wheel, and a soft-touch posterior endowed with a snakeskin pattern. A bundled H680 Bluetooth headset (trimmed with 18 karat gold, naturally) and a leather carrying case round out the package, fit for the aspiring Vertu owner who hasn’t quite yet reached a Vertu salary. Look for it to start showing up in “select regions” — the US included, we suspect — before the year’s out.
