The Moto Razr ruled pockets in the pre-smartphone era

I recall going into my local Radio Shack with one of those (not the blinged out one). The RAZR was maybe a month old at that time. I forget what I was looking for but the guy behind the counter saw my phone and said “You’ll have a hard time getting a new battery for that thing!”

He gestured behind the counter where they had a large stock batteries for all sorts of other cell phones. Just no RAZR batteries. I guess he was trying to get me to buy a different phone? I just smiled at him, took my purchase and left.

A few months later I went back for something else. I looked behind the counter and they had Motorola RAZRs for sale AND… a wide variety of batteries for them.

edit to add: I did not have a RAZR, I had a StarTac. I am so old.
