-OK...it's thin.
-It has bluetooth...so do plenty of other phones. (If you want a hands free headset, you have to get a BT headset, don't even have the choice of using a regular plug in one-there's no port)
-Only some versions have video capture
-only GPRS
-what about for the people like me who like gadgets but are kinda clumsy...I mean it's not built poory, but it's not as hearty as some other models
-what you lose in thickness you gain back in width

I mean it does look really cool, but it just seems to me for the price, you could really get more with something else.

Is the cdma version that's supposed to be coming out going to have any other features than the gsm version?

Theres really not much special about the RAZR, other than how it looks.

Its not even particularly small overall- despite its thinness, its a pretty wide and tall phone actually. ☚ī¸

I don't think it's attractive at all. Motorola seems to be building a niche in the superthin-phone market though so good for them.

- The RAZR is thin, fits in your pocket way easier than any other phone I've had, so what you gain in thinness does not matter that it is wider... you barely know it's in your pocket and you don't look like a dork with clip or leather case.
- The RAZR does have the option of a wired headset, it fits into the USB port that is also the home and vehicle power port.
- No video capture does suck.
- It'd be cooler with EDGE, but the next generation will have EDGE and possibly UMTS.
- The RAZR is very durable, I've dropped mine numerous times... all with no scratches due to the anodized alluminum casing.

The RAZR may not have all the features, but to able to carry it with you all the time and not have it be a hinderance like most phones are,...

now this is just what I've been able to see about the advantages of the RAZR for people,
No it doesn't have all of the top of the line features that a gadget lover would want, thats why I bought the 6620, but after using the 6620 for several months I finally realized, THIS PHONE IS BIG! It doesn't feel comfortable in my pocket, and when it's in the phone clip it still weighs you down quite a bit, i've even noticed that I rarely use any of the other features besides the camera (for stills) i do take occasional video, but I never play it back so Its kind of pointless, instant messaging client and (which I forgot to mention, the keys are kind of cramped) Bluetooth which I use all the time, and the big screen, I did use it as an MP3 player for ...

Gee sounds like your mouth. You try to make yourself all knowing, yet get proven wrong over and over again. Then when you said you weren't coming back if you were wrong, you came back. so your also a liar. you are OLD news...be gone đŸ˜ŗ

I was thinking he was more like an old joke. One thats been told over and over again, until its no longer funny.

Razr is actually a pretty decent phone - and it blows the v710 out of the water.

First off the bluetooth is open, not locked to any particular devices, and it can be used for data as well as voice.

Secondly, its made of Anodized aluminum - same stuff the airplanes are made of. I've had the RAZR since October, and prolly would be on my 3rd phone by now, but because the casing is so strong, when i drop it on my black top driveway or onto a hardwood floor, theres no damage! Great for people with two left feet.

Thrid, the speaker on it is rockin. Great for ringtones and using the speaker phone - especially in the car.

On the down side, it doesn't have our accelerated data (EDGE Network) and it cannot record videos. but other than ...

Personally I think the phone is quite unattractive. Yes it is thin but to me it looks to wide and to long. I don't understand why people are still going nuts over this phone. It will eventually pass just as the star tac and v60 did.

I can agree with you on that one. Working in the store, I got SICK AND TIRED of people asking me about the damned RAZR!!!!!! 😡
I am going to take an old Moto v120c and tape the razor I used to shave my legs with that same morning and hand that to the customer! 🙂
It's simply an overrated phone...plain and simple...there are a lot of other phones out there with twice the features of the Moto RAZR!
