 Nice looking phone poor options and features February 28, 2008
0 out of 10 found this review helpful
Just got this phone from sprint(same phone as the verizon and AT&t version just different colors and logos). Ive had it for exatly 12 hours and already having problems with it. Since its a finger print magnet because its so shinny and flash I decided to wipe off the internal screen with a micro fiber cloth. With just the slight amount of pressure the LCD screen got defected, its displaying multiple black horizontal lines accross the inner screen and purple and green lines in a vertical position across it as well. What a horrible defect. Also motorola shows off the mp3 aspect of it and miserably fails to include a phone jack so you can use a head set to listen to your tunes. The only way you can listen to your tunes is by using the weak external speakers that are located under the phone. So it really defies the purpose of having a portable mp3 player/phone. The built 2 megapixel camera is pretty decent, but again another flaw you cant use any of your pictures as wallpapers or screen savers that really bites the dust. Battery life is horrible I have only had this phone for 12 hours and the battery is almost dead. Another thing that ticks me off is trying to take off the cover for the micro usb port to charge it, it is almost impossible to take off not to mention that it is a guessing game to put in small microscopic connecter into the port the right direction. It is a slick, sleek, thin looking phone but it is very limited. Get an I Phone. Because I am.
 WAY Better Than the RAZR v3... But Not Perfect February 27, 2008
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
I suffered with the RAZR v3 for years and vowed to upgrade just as soon as possible. And true to my word, on the very day I was able to, I pulled the trigger on the upgrade and got this phone. Amazon had the absolute best price on this phone at the time and that was the deciding factor for my choice in sellers and nothing else. It took almost 10 days to get the phone and I had to go through a little hullabaloo to get it activated, but it was well worth the $ I saved.
About the phone: the graphics are phenomenal, the size is perfect, the feel of the phone in my hand/against my face is perfect and the sound and call quality are WAY better than its predecessor. My only issue is with the address book. While it is also improved, the import feature offered by the Motorola Phone Tools still leaves a little to be desired. The names go in better in that the entries are now nested rather than 1 entry per contact method (the old phone had say 5 entries for John Smith rather than 1 John Smith with 5 ways to contact him). The downside is that the entries don't sort well - there's no comma after the last name and folks with 2 first names, Mary Joe, get truncated.
All in all, though, this phone is fantastic and now I'll be able to use some of the over 4,000 rollover minutes I've acquired since I never used my old Razr!
 Not everything you would want February 22, 2008

Got this phone after a long wait/search a month back and I would say it's not worth 99 dollars. Nothing fancy about it, calls went blank couple of times - just like in the ad. Exterior screen and finish is good but inside screen could be better. Longer when compared to earlier version of RAZR but no thick chin. Doesn't come with lot of options, recognizes only up to 2 GB card, picture quality is ok, battery drains out pretty fast. If you're in for a non-fancy phone for everyday use go for it.
Nice phone, too many problems February 19, 2008
1 out of 2 found this review helpful
I love the phone, but it has too many "technical" issues that AT&T and Motorola have not seem to find an answer for. I was unable to download any songs and videos and some games, and after calling customer support and running several dianostic tests, it failed! They sent me a new phone, and it still had the same problem!!! I am sadly getting another phone, because after 2 short months and having gone through 2 phones (which have never been droped or exposed to harsh conditions), I will be getting a PDA/Smartphone. They offer so much more... I have nothing but loved this phone but have really been getting tired of waiting for the internet to load and being unable to do and extra features, I have decided to move on. I will NOT recommend this phone to anybody!
 Best phone I've owned February 16, 2008
5 out of 5 found this review helpful
I have to admit, I was a little concerned when I upgraded from my venerable Treo 680 smartphone. The Treo did everything I wanted it to, but I didn't need all the extra smartphone features anymore so I decided I was going to "downgrade" to a regular phone. The new AT&T Motorola RAZR2 V9 caught my eye almost immediately, and having tested it out extensively I finally convinced myself to buy it.
So far, I haven't been disappointed.
The phone itself feels sturdy and solid, not flimsy and cheap like the original RAZR V3 did. True, the exterior smudges quite a bit but that's easily cleaned off.
It's slightly thinner and narrower than the original, plus it has a large, impressive exterior LCD display. The camera isn't that impressive, but it's a lot better than the 640x480 of my Treo.
Some features I really liked about this phone:
1. The ability to control the phone ringer when I have a headset on (Speaker, Headset, or Both). I can make the phone ring through the headset only so it doesn't disturb others, and when I have it on vibrate it doesn't have to play music through the headset. Very convenient.
2. The included mini to micro USB adapter so I can use my old V3 chargers, and the headphone adapter so I can use regular headphones. A very considerate move by Motorola and AT&T.
3. Support for AT&T's new Mobile Backup - I can backup my contacts online (subscription required) so if I ever lose or irreparably damage the phone I can restore the numbers remotely to a similar phone.
4. Bluetooth 2.0 support - lets my headset work farther from the phone than before. Quite handy when I'm working and moving about.
5. The Options softkey that lets me access several important functions (Bluetooth Link, Camera, Alarm Clock) quickly.
6. MMS messaging is faster, probably because of the newer 3G tech (though I don't live in a 3G coverage area)
Some gripes:
1. I can't fully customize the buttons - there's no way to configure the Options softkey to go through *my* preferred apps, and there's no way to change the default Media Net and Cellular Video buttons, both of which I rarely if ever use. And without the old Menu button of the original RAZR, those deficiencies become more glaring.
2. No flash on the camera, so avoid using it in low lighting.
Overall, I really like my new V9, and I recommend it to anyone in the market for a fairly high end, non-smartphone handset.
