Motorola RAZR2 V9m
Navigation/Processing Speed + Other Functionality
I currently have a V3m through Verizon. I love the form factor, reception, call clarity, battery life (acceptable).
My one deal-breaking issue that is making me increasingly detest the phone is the AGONIZINGLY slow pace at which it moves through menu options, particularly anything involving text messages.
Has this problem been resolved in the V9m? I see them advertising the 10X faster processing speed, but I'm very skeptical. I tried out a MAXX a few weeks back and that seemed perhaps 50% faster (nowhere near 10X faster and nowhere near approaching navigation speeds I've seen on LGs).
Am I better off just going with the LG 8700 if this really is such a big deal for me?
Also, I'm tantalized by the concept of being able to read ...

The menu speed seems to be adequate. I had a Samsung A920 before and its menus were just plain flaky. They seem pretty fast to me. If you have a Sprint store near you they usually have a demo phone out where you can make calls and play around with it.
The text messages do display on the outside which is quite nice. I have not been able to see what happens with multiple unread messages though. When you open the phone it will display the text message and give you the option to reply. I have found, however, if you just close the flip it still considers the message as new. This kind of annoys me. There may be a way around it that I just have not found yet. Hope this info is of some use..
