Release and variants

This handset was released on Telstra's NextG network under the original name "Motorola Razr maxx V6".^[8] It was compatable with both the original 2100 MHz band and the NextG band, 850 MHz. It was branded with the Telstra logo and on-screen graphics and was released by Telstra for outright purchase in late 2006 at a price of about A$800. The phone was repackaged late in 2007 and sold with a prepaid plan for $250, locked for use only with Telstra SIM cards. Many of the post-paid phones sold by Telstra in 2007 were inadvertently locked.^{[citation needed]}
