Of the many fabulous gifts, one will be a limited edition RAZR V3 from Motorola; black in color instead of the standard metal finish.

There were no comments from the representatives of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences; however on CNBC today, viewers got a glimpse of the black RAZR when Motorola CEO Ed Zander demonstrated it to TV audiences.

High sales and increasing popularity has prompted Motorola to expand its product line and capitalize on the demand for thin handsets. Last month, Motorola hinted that it planned to add new colors and designs to the RAZR line-up, while a few weeks earlier, Motorola released details regarding a block form factor of the RAZR, named the Sliver.

No details were publicized if the limited edition RAZR V3 phones were planned for public release.
