DUG INTO MY POCKET FOR MY TRUSTY OLD BLACK RAZR [ 2YRS OLD ] TO ANSWER A CALL FROM MY WIFE....I WENT TO FLIP''R OPEN, BUT THE HINGE FROZE. TRIED AGAIN AND IT SNAPPED BACK ALMOST TAKING OFF MY FINGER. AFTER DETERMINNG THAT THE PHONE WAS NOT ANGRY WITH ME I TRIED TO OPEN IT AGAIN WITH SOME SUCCESS. IT OPENED WITH A POP, THE HINGE BROKE ON ONE SIDE AND THE SCREEN IS NOW FOREVER BLACK. I AM SAD BECAUSE I HAVE HAD GREAT LUCK WITH THIS PHONE.....UNLIKE SOME OF THE LATER RAZR MODELS. I'M LEADING UP TO A QUESTION HERE...WHEN IS THE V9 RELEASING??? I REALLY DON'T WANT TO SETTLE FOR ANOTHER PHONE. ANY HELP ????? also, Funeral arrangements for my V3 are incomplete at this time.......

THANX, TheDogg 😎
