The Motorola Razr has finally found a home with Amp'd Mobile, an MVNO that has its sights on the young and urban demographic (MVNO means Mobile Virtual Network Operator, for you acronym haters). Replacing the Hollywood as the sexiest Motorola in its lineup, the Amp'd version of the Razr will feature Amp'd Live, Amp'd Mobile's 3G programming service that delivers streaming TV, "viral videos," music, and more. So for only $99 with a contract or $199 with the pay-as-you-go service, you can get some of that Razr bling to go along with your Amp'd service. Just in case, you know, that Dolce & Gabbana Razr is too Beverly Hills for you.
