 This phone did not last! October 21, 2007
8 out of 29 found this review helpful
I would not recommend purchasing this phone. I've had it for 45 days and the screen has periodically turned white for a few seconds, time and time again. I am also not able to charge the phone because one of the prongs came out for apparently no reason. I'm just out of luck (because this is physical damage which is not covered by warranty), according to the cell phone carrier. The phone will not work and I'm out the money that I paid for it. This is the worst experience that I have ever had with Motorola and I have owned a lot of their phones. My advice to you would be to find a better phone that will last you for more than 45 days.
 Soooo happy! September 30, 2007

I bought this phone through a contract extension with AT&T, and I am absolutely in love with it! My old phone was a RAZR, which I did not love at all, so I was slightly hesitant to purchase the RAZR2, but I'm so glad I did. They kept the best parts of the old model and improved everything I can think of that needed improvement. Everything about this phone is absolutely wonderful...and I am not one to normally go ga-ga over a cell phone.
Another Great Moto Phone September 27, 2007
42 out of 43 found this review helpful
Just got this phone a few weeks ago, and I've had plenty of time to test most of the features, and it is by far the best phone I've had in a while. I wasn't really interested in getting a flip phone again, because I do like the "candy bar" style phones, but those are getting phased out more year after year, so I had to go with it again.
My last phone was a Moto v551, and this phone is better than that one in just about all areas. The internet works much cleaner on this phone, it's easier to shop for games, tones, and wall papers. You can use it as an MP3 player, with very good sound quality on it.
The sound quality is by far the biggest improvement. Wow. I NEVER could use my old phone in my home. The calls would sound like the person is about 500 feet from me, not 5 feet, as with the RAZR2.
The larger display, and the huge front display are very noticeable, and I do enjoy being able to use a picture on the front of the phone to determine if it's someone I want to talk to at the time or not.
Games and ring tones seem to work a LOT better on the RAZR2. Downloading, installing, playing takes almost no time. I love the CV thing on this phone. Being able to watch a lot of videos (including my TNA Wrestling) on the phone at a moment's notice. Very nice.
The camera, although I'll rarely use it, is nice. High quality pictures (2.0 Megapixel). It'll never match up to a real digital camera, but it's very good nonetheless.
The ONLY flaw I can see that the phone has, is not a major one. To me, anyway. The number pad isn't as easy to just dial without looking. The 5-key has a bump on it, but that's it. I guess it's due to the whole pad being one singular piece, instead of individual buttons. It's not a big enough issue for me to grant this great phone only four stars though.
One last thing..the T9 texting on this phone is GREAT. Seems to work much better than the v551, but I believe that has more to do with the dedicated "Back" button on the phone. I love that feature. No more having to figure out how to go back..it's right there. Even for browsing.
I'm not too high on the "Mahogany" color, but I had to get a new phone, and this is the only color Cingular currently offers. I know they'll have others soon (Verizon's looks really nice) but I care less about colors, and more about functionality. In all seriousness, even if the only color they had was pink, purple, or rainbow, I'd still take it. This phone is THAT good, that you care less about how manly you look carrying it around, and moreso about all the neat things it has to offer.
 Very solid, stylish, next-gen phone September 24, 2007

Pros
-Bright and beautiful internal display
-Possibly the greatest external screen ever on a cell phone
-Excellent 2MP camera
-3G
-Fairly robust music player
-Good call quality
Cons
-Flat keypad takes a lot of getting used to
-Certain options and functions are either poorly labeled or buried under menus
-Doesn't really bring anything new in terms of features and even lacks some basic ones
-For several hundred dollars you would think Motorola could throw in a memory card or a mini-usb cable.
Bottom line: Not the best phone as far as functionality is concerned, but if you just want a beautiful phone to make calls and browse the web then it doesn't get much better than the Razr2. And this is coming from someone who hated the original Razr.
 RAZR2 9 Not Identical Across Carriers. September 22, 2007
116 out of 128 found this review helpful
It isn't obvious at first (and neither Motorola nor the carriers makes it easy to figure out) but the RAZR2 9's each carrier offers are NOT identical except for the carrier's services and coverage.
The CDMA version (9m) carried by Verizon and Sprint has A-GPS for navigation, but is otherwise a stripped down, less-capable model than the V9-Mahogony carried by AT&T. That GSM/HSDPA version available with AT&T offers a processor that is twice as fast as the Verizon version's (500 MHz vs 225 MHz), 262K colors on screen (v.s. 65k), full HTML browsing vs. WAP2, and CrystalTalk, the signal-processing software that supposedly makes conversations clearer and adjusts volume (said to be quite good but MIA with Verizon). Although the amp demand is higher on the GSM/H version, it is said to have longer battery life, although I have not compared them. I believe the OS is different, but not sure if I recall correctly. A few of the interface elements, and external buttons appear different, although I haven't put them side-by-side yet.
Whether those features outweigh the navigation offered by Verizon's 9m, is subjective, but beware that the phones are much, more differentiated on the various carriers than the original Razr.
UPDATE: Nov24. The naming has been changed on Amazon and the Motorola site. The GSM/HSDPA/AT&T version is now the "9" and the Verizon/Sprint/CDMA version is the "9m". Again, the GSM/HSDPA/AT&T version is more capable.
