We saw Motorola reboot the Razr once and it was successful but it was closer to a Droid X than a Razr. For the past few years Samsung has managed to sell android flip phones overseas. And though I think it may be too late to bring it here I wonder if Motorola could benefit from that technology in the form of the Razr?
With people begging for larger screens it may not be a device to compete in sales with the iPhone or Samsung. But if Motorola pitches it right with an exclusive limited supply, they could test the market while celebrating one of their most popular phones.

. Don't get me wrong, I owned a Razr, it was the last non-smart phone I owned before buying a Droid in late 2010. The Moto Razr was probably my favorite flip phone ever and my father in law is still using it to this day. 7+ years old and on battery number 3 but still going strong. I think that smart phone owners want traditional smart phone styles with a larger screen, larger battery, non-folding, etc. I also think that the flip phone crowd (like my father-in-law) are not going to jump on this just because it looks like a "non smart phone flip phone". The crowd that just doesn't want smart phones at all are going to stick with whatever flip phone / slider phone they can find. Modern smart phone owners are going to think it's too small for daily use. I can see some phone enthusiasts buying this as a once in a while device to carry around and show off; but is that group large enough to sell enough to make this worth while? If they do decide to make it, I wish them well and hope it's a success but I just don't see it selling well in North America.
... I loved their size and the sound when you clicked them shot - but I love my BIG screen even more! But YES I could definitely see them being hot again ... Not as daily drivers, but as a 'cuddle thing' - if you know what I mean
