Motorola's foldable Razr is finally going on sale this February

It's time to get retro.

Or, more precisely, it's about to betime to get retro. Motorola's new foldable Razr smartphone is officially going on pre-sale this Jan. 26, with in-store sales kicking off on Feb. 6. In other words, get ready to hear all your tech enthusiast friends talk about how they can't even image living in a pre-fold era.

We know. We can hardly wait as well.

The foldable smartphone which, unlike Samsung's problematic foldable phone, opens top to bottom as opposed to the familiar book-like side to side, is an intentional homage Motorola's iconic Razr phone from back in the day.

Karissa Bell, Mashable's senior tech reporter, had a brief chance to check out the new Razr and called it "the only foldable phone I've actually been excited about."

According to a Motorola spokesperson, eager customers can place their pre-orders at Verizon, Walmart, or that old standby motorola.com.

And hey, we don't want to hear any griping about how $1,500 is too much to pay for what amounts to a novelty smartphone concept. Fortune favors the early adopter... or, something like that.
