Motorola V60 (marketed and stylized as Motorola V. Series 60) is a clamshell mobile phone developed by Motorola. The handset was introduced at the 2001 Consumer Electronics Show as the company's flagship and was considered to be the true modern successor of the StarTAC series. It was sold in GSM, CDMA, and TDMA versions.
The Motorola V60 featured a sleek, metallic exterior casing that made it very recognizable at the time and was noted for looking luxurious and classy compared to other cell phones of its time. Also present here is a small external display to show the time or caller ID, one of the earliest 'flip phones' to have so. Internally, it included text messaging and wireless Internet capabilities. The V60 was hugely popular and was, for some time, the best-selling cell phone in North America. After a number of different variants were released, the V60 was succeeded by the Motorola V600.
