Motorola announced that it has shipped its 50 millionth Motorola RAZR V3 handset Tuesday.

And in celebration, the company said it would host a series of events at the U.S. Cellular store located at 30 North LaSalle Street in downtown Chicago, in which every 50 seconds this morning between 8 a.m. and 10 a.m. that particular store will give away a Motorola RAZR.

"The RAZR is Motorola's design philosophy made real: technology, design, and exceptional communication in one," said Ron Garriques, president of mobile devices at Motorola. "The development was a journey we took to find and express the soul of our company. This milestone proves Motorola's philosophy of engaging consumers and keeping them wanting more."
