"best call quality you will ever find" on by jk4707
Pros: excellent call quality and clarity
Cons: fingerprint magnet
Summary: I have had over 18 cell phones since 2003, and i can say this phone is one of the best I have had, if not the best, it has an excellent battery, call quality is great, very quick interface, it runs on a 500 mgh processor. The music player is very good, sounds good, loud, sleek as hell, nicest looking phone u have ever seen. very nice display, quick and easy to text. good camera. The only bad thing about it is it is so glossy, it attracts fingerprints like crazy. It is a small price to pay for an excellent phone, I highly recommend it, keep in mind I do not use the internet on my phone, this review is really based on making calls, music, and texting,

"Welcome back Razr! Looks Great and it's TMobile" on by dondabomb5
Pros: EXCELLENT CALL QUALITY, Excellent Customer Service, full bluetooth
Cons: Many when compared with a Smart Phone, none when compared to a candy bar/flip phone
Summary: I have a Blackberry Curve for TMobile. I just new it would be my last phone. I have tried multiple Smart phones mainly for it's full keyboard. While it makes texting much easier it really is for business minded people. I love gadgets especially phones and I have always been a Razr fan. I had no idea TMobile would come out with this phone so soon after I purchased the Curve. The Curve is an excellent phone but it is small. The Razr is very nice, feels good in the hand, has a vibrant screen open and closed, has excellent call quality and is definitely better than the original or revised models for that matter. A few cons if you can actually call them that. You cannot use wires with this phone for talking, it is bluetooth only. The nice thing about the full bluetooth is you can hear your music through the bluetooth as well. Battery life is subpar. It is rated at 7 or more hours of talk time... More like four and you will need a charger with normal everyday use. However, TMobile includes an adapter for your standard razr/motorola chargers so no need to buy another charger specifically for this phone. The phone also has no Micro SD card slot that has become almost standard on phone now a days but it does include 2GB of storage which is alot. The processor speed is pretty good and you have to know the razr to know how to find certain things you are looking for in the phone. The music player is okay but that's why you have an iPod right. You have to open the phone to activate the music player just like CNET Review states but you can read the text messages with the phone closed and even respond with the short templates that is built into the phone. Also, you don't have to have Motorola Phone tools to add pictures and music to the phone. Use th USB Cord which is included with the phone to add them by drag and drop. However, you cannot drag and drop them from the phone back to the computer once the USB cord is disconnected. Weird. Lastly, it's a fingerprint magnet and that prevent it from being a perfect ten for a flip phone. To me that is the only downside as it will have to be cleaned daily. When compared to a Smart Phone or Blackberry it's not fair as this phone will lose but when compared to a flip phone or candy bar phone for that matter, this phone wins hands down and is much, much better than the older versions. With the EXCELLENT call quality, plus TMobile's customer service, this is a cant miss. I hope this helps someone and I'm sure you will be pleased if you buy it. Good Luck

"HORRIBLE BATTERY LIFE" on by richardshampain
Pros: Sleek and Handsome
Cons: Ackward Software system
Summary: While this phone is very handsome, the battery life has been terrible. I use the phone for texting and calling and an occasional picture. I am only getting about 145 minutes from talk time and about 10 - 45 text messages before it goes dead. Its rated at 7.45 - 8.3 hours of talk time. I am getting only a small percentage of that. They have given me another V8 to try but I got the same results. Is anyone else getting as poor amount of battery life. I will have to return it and go back to a samsung which never gave me any battery life issues. Thanks

"great looks, bad battery" on by jay_lo07
Pros: very sexy, bright and colorful screen, easy to use
Cons: battery life not good, prominent to smudges
Summary: this phone is the most attractive out there, i got it becasue i thought it was simply beautiful, once using the phone i was really happy with it the screen was so clear i was able to read everything. one the second day i had this phone i was sending constant text messages within the hour i sent 100 and in that hour i consumed my battery, the battery life is not the greatest on this phone.

"Looks great with a few extras" on by karaoke008
Pros: style & design, large external & internal displays
Cons: very slow internet connection, complicated function menu
Summary: I got this phone yesterday as an upgrade to my KRZR K1. I got the phone for it's looks and the large display. I would assume that the features were going to be similar to the KRZR. Certain features just take a little time to get use to. Overall I am satisfied with the call qualities and the displays. Might not be for everyone but if you really like the looks then it's worth it.
