 Great phone with one problem December 26, 2007
5 out of 6 found this review helpful
Just got a RAZR2 to replace my original RAZR, which held up well until it all of a sudden got the Motorola "blue screen of death" one morning. The RAZR2 is a beautiful hunk, with a fantastic screen and outstanding call and voice quality. I'm disappointed though that I can't change the ring tone (on/off/vibe) with the cover closed - or at least I haven't figured this out yet.
One problem though -- the flip-up lid is loose on the left side. I went back to Verizon, who were very helpful, and they pulled all 5 RAZR2's they had in stock and we looked at each one and they were all loose, some worse than others. I ended up keeping mine. This must be a problem either with the phone or with a manufacturing batch. When the lid is opened about 45 degrees, it is loose and can be easily twisted back and forth. It feels like a gasket or something is missing from the one side.
Too bad, because the hinge on the '2 is huge, so I'm not sure why this problem. Otherwise, the phone is a work of art. By the way, it took some finagling to get the 2MB mini-SD card to be accepted by the phone after I downloaded some music to the card. I had to turn off the phone and plug the card in once or twice before the phone recognized the card and cataloged the music. I wish the card could be plugged in the side rather than under the battery...
Plan on Buying High Capacity Battery December 16, 2007

The is an excellent phone. However the big beautiful LCD display uses a lot of power and is ill-suited to the 600mah stock battery. Plan on Buying 920mah High Capacity Battery MX50 for MSRP of $50.
Can't believe the above reviews have not mentioned this most glaring deficiency.
Verizon sold us the Motorola 500 Bluetooth headset which had inferior voice quality. The Jawbone at double the price was just the ticket: polished and clear voice quality.
Above average, quality phone with some minor flaws. December 7, 2007

I hadn't heard very many good reviews about the first RAZR, so I was a little worried when ordering this new version. My contract with Sprint was up and Amazon was offering this phone for free after rebate. I was looking for phones with at least a 2.0 megapixel camera and came across this one. I've had this phone for about 2.5 months now so I think it's time for a review.
Pros
-It's a beautiful, luxurious, sleek phone. The screen on the front is amazingly huge, just as large as the inside screen. The display on both screens is sharp and colorful.
-The call quality is very crisp. It has been very clear thus far, no weird echoing, static, or heavy background noise when the person on the other line is in a loud environment. I never have the volume turned up all the way because it gets way too loud!
-The menu is simple. I did not find this to be a con, as I know exactly where I need to go and didn't have to go through 8 screens to get to it.
-The camera, with its 2.0 megapixel quality, can actually double as a "real" camera most of the time. I forgot my digital camera once and happily substituted with this one. It even has white balance settings in addition to brightness adjustments, and also color effects such as black and white, antique (sepia), and negative. I got a separate 2gb microSD card and can store so many photos on there. You can load the pictures on the Verizon website or you could use the Bluetooth feature to transmit your photos on your computer, or you could use a card reader to download from your microSD card.
-The music quality is excellent. You can transmit songs through Bluetooth, however, I haven't been able to figure out how to access songs from your MicroSD card (if you are even able to do so). You cannot make your .mp3 files your ringtones though, or at least I haven't been able to figure out how again.
-I use about 200-300 texts each month. I originally ordered the EnV because of the qwerty keyboard, but it's a really chunky phone and I found it to be a hassle opening up the cover each time. Also, I found that I actually preferred NOT to text with both hands because I'm usually doing something else with my other hand while texting (holding something, driving, etc.) Though this RAZR2 phone doesn't have a qwerty keyboard, it still has some functions that facilitate texting such as storing words into its memory based on what you typed last.
Cons
-It is most definitely a fingerprint magnet because it's so shiny. This doesn't bother me, but if it does for you then I would reconsider.
-The speakerphone quality is pretty good, however, I could not use it while driving for some reason because the sound of my engine actually overpowered the caller.. I guess my car does have a louder engine, it's from 1998, but I was still pretty disappointed.
-I think the touchscreen is mainly for show and I don't really see the point in it because it's almost faster to just flip open the phone and use the buttons inside or on the side. The touch screen buttons are also not very sensitive so you have to hold your finger there for a few seconds before it initiates the function. You can only do three things with the touch screen: camera, music, and voice commands.
-The ringtone selection that comes with the phone is... limited, to say the least. Also, the vibrating ringer is not very strong.. I've missed a couple of calls with the phone being in my coat pocket on vibrate.
-I have that feeling when you get a new luxury car and you don't want to damage it at all, so you're afraid to drive it. I am so afraid I am going to drop this phone or damage the extra large front screen. It's like it's made of glass. If you constantly drop your phone, this is probably not the one for you.
-I've found it's difficult to flip open with one hand.
To sum it up, this is an above average, quality phone. It's not perfect, but overall I am pretty satisfied. I think I have been more pleased in the past with Sanyo phones from Sprint, but I don't regret making the move to Verizon for this phone.
