DoCoMo adds chic to Razr line-up by selling Dolce & Gabbana model

Japan is late to the Razr fest. Debuted in 2004, the Razr design is about to start feeling stale around the world. According to some analysts, phones based on the Razr design account for about 30% of Motorola's total handset volume. Razr fatigue, anyone? Apparently, not in Japan yet. The first phones based on Razr design – the M702iS and M702iG – were shipped in Japan in December last year. And DoCoMo just started accepting pre-orders for the M702iS based on Dolce & Gabbana design, asking 75,000 yen (around $642). Five Dolce & Gabbana stores in Tokyo (2), Nagoya, Osaka and Fukuoka will distribute the pre-ordered Dolce & Gabbana handsets starting March 15. In April, DoCoMo also plans to sell the limited amount of Dolce & Gabbana phones online.
