 Beautiful phone with lots of plusses.. but constant problems! June 3, 2008

I went through 3 of these phones in 2.5 months. Before I go into detail, I will say that the phone/s never got wet, were never dropped - they were well taken care of.
First phone developed an issue 5 weeks after purchase. The speakerphone element went out. Once I turned the speakerphone on, I could no longer hear them.
ATT did a warranty exchange
Version 2 of the phone entailed it not charging. It was not the charger. Nor was it the battery. It was the charging port. This was 'discovered' within 3 days of getting the replacement V9.
Version 3 of the phone was the most confusing. The phone was not on mute and volume was all the way up. Upon opening the phone to make a call, the keypad would no longer make noise. It would dial, but no sound came through the earphone and nor could I hear anyone talking. The only way to 'correct' it was to turn the phone off and turn it back on. This issue appeared within 2-3 weeks of receiving it.
I'm not going for a 4th V9. It was a nice phone. Great features and I liked the weight of it in my hand - but somehow Quality Control really messed up the lot that ATT got that I had received. And if you read the reviews on ATT's website, there are several people that are reporting the exact same issues.
The majority of people seem to get phones without issues - but I managed to get 3 duds (out of 3). That doesn't make for me giving it high marks in a review.

great phone, but should change the color, screen on the outside does not play videos and ringtones must be less than 300KB so u have to have a whole diffent set of songs for your ringtones.
A great phone with a lot of capabilities May 14, 2008

I've owned this phone for a month now, and I've found it to be a great device with a good number of capabilities.
Pros:
-Web & data ready
-2 megapixel camera
-Music player which can be accessed from side buttons while phone is
closed
-Internal & external LCD screens supporting 262k colors
-Fits easily in pants pocket
-Bluetooth 2.0
-500Mhz processor
Cons:
-Does not take very clear closeup photos
-micro USB port
-Some calls start off a bit warbly but clear up shortly (Coverage
map has me in an area with strongest signal strength. Signal
strength shows full bars on phone screen.)
-Battery should be higher capacity to better accommodate all of the
advanced phone features
All-in-all, I'm happy with my purchase of the Razr2 V9. It's powerful, has great displays, good functionality, and sounds very clear most of the time.

My Favorite Phone By Far (and I've tried dozens!) May 6, 2008

I can't begin to list all of the phones and PDA phones I've either tried or owned since the early 1990's when I bought my first. All of them have something undesirable about them, but this is the best I've owned. Most I try out a week or so, then return it, but this one's a keeper! I love this phone so much, I actually (for the first time ever) purchased insurance for it.
Let me start by saying that call quality is of the utmost importance to me and other features are just nice bonuses.
This phone's call quality is so much better than the others, it makes you want to tell the person on the other end to spend a few bucks and buy a quality phone of their own! If everyone used a high-quality cell phone, there'd be much fewer incidences of people having to repeat themselves.
It's extremely well-built using solid metal construction-much better than its predecessors. I like the solid feel of this phone-not flimsy and not feeling like it's about to fall apart at any time.
It has a huge external screen. Unlike the V3xx that I also currently own that has a display so dim, you can't read it, the V9 is bright and clear.
The music phone feature is great to have. Although I bought a protective case that doesn't allow the big exterior screen's touch feature to work, it works great without the case and the vibration when touched allows the user to know that it's sensing your touch. I have 350 songs stored on my mini SD card, with room left for additional storage, plus the phone's internal storage remains clear. I no longer need to carry my iPod shuffle and a separate phone.
The built-in modem came to my rescue when my high-speed internet service failed. It ran my computer, not a lightening speed, but at a rate at least 8-9 times faster than the dial-up modem would have reached. It's even faster when accessing the 3G network via Media Net.
I cannot comment on battery life being poor generally because I routinely place all of my cell phones on the charger at night before retiring. This stems back from the days a phone couldn't hold a charge from sunrise to sunset without needing a charge, but there have been a couple of times I forgot and left it in my purse for 2 days, and it still had plenty of battery life left on that 3rd day.
If, as other reviewers have stated, the battery life is less than on other models, for me, having the big, bright responsive outer screen outweighs a few hours of battery life as a priority to me. It's not like I'll be on a 2 week camping trip with no viable means of recharging. Again, out of habit from the old brick phone days, I have always kept a spare battery fully-charged and so far, have never needed it.
I suspect that some of the reviewers who have negative things to say about this phone may have received a defective handset and would possibly be pleased if they'd exchange it for a properly working model.
By the way, it also features a 2mp camera with zoom and video capture capability! The only thing missing is a flash or light to use in the dark, but I won't downrate it for that alone.
After years of searching and dozens of handsets later, I've finally found my phone, and a whole lot more!
