Sprint V9M - August 19th launch date..
OK. After pouring over all of these forums for a release date for the Sprint version, I went to the Sprint website, logged in, and emailed customer care about the new RAZR2. I said I was very interested in upgrading my phone soon, or I was considering switching to AT&T. I just got the following response:
Dear Xxxxx,

Yes, we are in the process of launching Motorola V9M on August 19,
2007.
Thank you for emailing us. Have a great day!

Copy Cats
So… anyone notice that the new Motorola RAZR 2 looks exactly like the old LG VX-8600. Copying the smooth profile instead of having the old Razr bottom lip.
LG = https://www.phonescoop.com/phones/phone.php?p =999
Motorola = https://www.phonescoop.com/phones/phone.php?p =1243
And on that note, did anyone notice that the new LG VX-8700, looks just like the old Razr. Copying the bottom lip and silver finish.

Doesn’t anyone have any original styling ideas anymore???

RAZR2 Impressions
So I came across the chance to play around with the RAZR2 yesterday for about two hours (thanks to my Dad), and I must say, I was quite impressed. The first thing I noticed about the phone was how glistening and shiny it was, the same basic coat as the upcoming MOTORKR V6m, it basically reflected off everything. Also the screen was huge, and vibrant and the touch screen controls was a nice little addition.
The one thing I noticed that the Phonescoop review stated was the spring that when you closed it shocked the phone and made it reverberate. This in fact was not the case as it closed with a silky smooth feeling. The size was a little suprising, because the phone was actually bigger than what I expected. It kinda reminded me of a really...

I'm sorry...
...but while the hardware and software specs are impressive, the look of the phones is so "been there, done that".
Time to move away from the RAZR look completely.

how is the v8 still not a 100% done when my dad is using one right now

Anyone know the release dates?
I know the V9 should be headed to ATT wireless this summer as the FCC had pictures revealing Cingular Video keys on the V9, but does anyone know a date?
I've asked ATT reps but they claim they have no idea. I'm switching over pretty soon so I just wanted to know if anyone had any insider information.
Thanks

Sprint or what?
When I was looking at the V9m fourm I saw Sprint Should be getting one sometime in September but when looking at the pics I saw NOTHING that looked like Sprint on the screen.
So really I just want to know if Sprint IS IN FACT getting a some version of the RAZR2? Also does anyone know a price? 😁

I'm Actually Impressed
To be perfectly honest, I'm not the biggest Moto fan (although I do own a platinum v3xx). However, I do find that the Razr2 series looks to be a worth successor to Razr family. The body, finish, and overall aesthetics of all of Razr2 variants are exceptional. Granted, none of these new Razrs offer any features we haven't seen before, it offers a level of refinement that to this point isn't matched by many handsets. I've got a new crush, the v9 is hoooottt 🤭 .

Phonescoops Review?
I just read through the review by Phonescoop. I must say they really botched this up. First statement was "all 3 versions v8, v9, & v9m all use different OS's this is true. Next was they have "all been reviewed hundreds of times" your crazy. The Java Linux is a new OS. At least to many consumers. The first phone to run this was E2, second Z6, & now the V8, this is 3 phones not hundreds.
Next statement.
"The RAZR2 is still just a RAZR. Yes, it has a slightly sexier body and a new external display with fancy touch sensitive areas, but little else has changed"
Still just a razr nothing much has changed again crazy. Lets see a 500mhz processor is nothing to sneeze at. In fact this is the fastest thin form factor you can get. Only 1 phone...

V9M - Music Player, Task Manager?
As the article states: The music player is the same as on the MAXX Ve, so it does not remember where you left off playing if you've exited the player, and you cannot do any tasks in the background, so you have to exit the player to do anything other than answer a phone call.
I am assuming this is typical of a Verizon phone/UI? Most of the new Sprint phones have a Task/Background Manager built-in now that allow you to do other things while listening to music or using an application on the phone. Hopefully, this feature will carry over into the Sprint version too?!?

How typical of Motorola...
They find a "niche" phone & go with it for as long as possible. Anyone remember the T72x series? Or the V60x series? They come up with something that is really popular & then drag it out until everyone & their grandma owns it. I really wish Moto could be more revolutionary & come out with something new/different more frequently. All I see is same crap, different smell...

AT&T and V9
Good job covering up the AT&T Globe and the CV button on the keypad ;)
Looks pretty much just like the AT&T V9 User Manual shows.

they didn't show software on internal screen!
I wonder if this is because the V9m uses different software depending on carrier.
they didn't want to give away whether it was a sprint/alltel/verizon etc..
too bad.
i want this phone for sprint, but the lack of confirmed release dates means I'll probably buy something else
