Watch

When closed, the external LCD constantly displays the time. When the screen is its energy saving state, the time appears as a reflective black digital readout on a dark, matte black screen. It is not very easy to read from straight on, but becomes more legible from a wider viewing angle in some lighting conditions. Pressing any of the side keys quickly will wake the external display up, displaying the time as a digital over the wallpaper. This is the most legible way to check the time on the RAZR. The home screen also displays the time in either analog or digital formats, however as we said before, the internal LCD is highly reflective.

Java

The RAZR scored an 1166 on JBenchmark's MIDP 1 test and a 41 on the MIDP 2 test. this puts the RAZR in the bottom half of all phones on both scores. It scores lower than almost every high-end phone, even those with larger screens. In fact, although the RAZR is supposed to be a high-end phone, it scores more like an entry-level model.

Bluetooth

The RAZR supports most of the important profiles: Headset, Hands Free, OBEX and Dial Up Networking. It is possible to send and receive all sorts of files over Bluetooth, however sending them can be tricky as the command is Send in some applications and Copy in others.

Extras

There is a simple, easy to use calculator in the office tools menu. There is also an alarm clock with multiple alarms. Alarms will sound even if the phone has been powered off. There is no media player to speak of, however there is a video player for recorded or downloaded 3gp videos. A USB cable is included in the box, and the RAZR supports syncing to both Macs and PCs. For Mac users, iSync 1.5 only syncs to the RAZR via the USB cable, while iSync 2.0 can sync via Bluetooth as well.
