Fear not, Motorola still makes lame handsets, MOTO Klassic
We know what you’re thinking, the DROID and CLIQ are just too cool, I need something more lame. Well, Motorola has got you covered. Say hello the the MOTO Klassic. This new hotness oddness lameness clamshell will only be available in Korea for the time being but the specs are pretty mind blowing: blazing 2G connectivity, a 5 megapixel camera, external touch screen, and (brace yourself) an “espresso color keypad.” Truth be told, we weren’t completely sold on this one until we read about the espresso colored keypad. So put down those wallets DROID fans, you might want to just wait and see if this hot little number is coming to the good old U.S.A.

Koreans have jackasses? Kewl!
This phone really looks like the cancelled razr3 that has been canceled last year and was to be running UIQ.
I think while this phone isn’t too revolutionary in design ( a cross between a V9m and a V3maxx, in the camera/flash look), it’s pretty sexy. Best phone I ever owned was the Motorola v60i. I love Moto. Rocking the Droid now. First endeavour into Android world and I’m not going back. This is coming from a Apple guy. He’ll, I’m in the tub typing this on my iPhone. I would rather drop this in the tub or get moisture damage, than my Droid, even though the Droid is covered under phone insurance. Don’t hate.

BGR must have been slighted by some ugly counter person at some tricky indy cell phone store at some early point after dropping his Moto in the toliet and holds a grudge

Hey I think this is a very sexy looking phone for the people that still use dumb phones and flip phones. I would get it if I had to pick a old school clam shell phone. The screen also looks big on the outside. I wish this was out back when we all had razrs! I guess it is a little out of date though.
Motorola is one of the few American companies making cell phones…

Maybe “darkpoet” needs to go live with these filthy sloped eyed pigs? Oh and don’t forget to take your granola and birkenstocks!
they might sell more of these in China than the Droid. in America. Droid is to heavy and they keyboard is difficult at best.
This is called a “Momma Phone”. My mother would love this. Old outside and young and youthful inside. Maybe it’s an oxymoron phone…lol.
I think the phone is fine. It looks like a phone for the older set who wants something somewhat “cool” but simple. Not only that, this is for Korean markets right now, what would BGR know about that?
I work for a telco and people to this day ask if the razor is still available. I’m surprised it’s taking Moto so long to release a basic clam shell in the states. BTW whats up with bashing basic phones?
This Phone have 3G Not 2G Understand!
“Blazing 2G connectivity”? Yea, we get the sarcasm, but the sarcasm is lost on the rest of your feature slams which actually are pretty nice selling points for a phone such as this one. Tech geeks can be so bitchy.

This is “lame”? Why don’t you call all low-medium budget phones from other manufacturers “lame” as well? The low intelligence shown in this headline is troubling.

What is still great about a clam for many people is it actually fits the freaking head (ear-to-mouth) unlike some of these boring slabs.
Write-ups like this are just high-school spew, meaningless small-minded opinions by kids who really don’t know much about the industry. You should try to make this site into something that contributes to the marketplace or stfu and just keep copy/pasting the stuff that your friends lift from VZW & TMO…

Good god, so if it’s not a slab phone its useless!
I prefer to have both a slab (NOTE: fanboys No names No pack drill) for work and a flip for personal, flip is way easier to carry in a pocket and the battery lasts MUCH longer.
I like it and I’m sure many others will too, you stick to your fanboy dreams, and joe public will keep buying the more basic handsets.
Before you ramble off on so many million sold this phone and that phone, Nokia (not ones I own) make and sell almost a million units a day.
Se get a grip fanboys, on reality no matter how many ’smart’ slabs are sold they are miniscule compared to this market.
I don’t get it, what’s so lame about this Moto? I think it looks nice. Why even mention the iPhone and Droid in response to this BGR post? Not everyone wants, much less needs a smartphone.
Oh Come on…. BGR… Motorola isn’t lame… They are improving… Without Motorola’s People go to Apple… Will there be iPhone??
Motorola may lack in coming out new phones… But whenever they come out a new phone, it will always surprise Consumer….
Many Mobile example: Nokia , LG , Samsung
LOVES to copy Motorola phones design and style…
