"Great update to the RAZR family of phones"
Pros: love the larger external screen, the screen resolution compared to my old RAZR V3 is exponentially better, love the haptics, the 2mega pixel camera is excellent, great voice call quality
Cons: external side buttons are extremely small and almost flush with phone making them hard to access, shiny glass and metal exterior are very attractive but attract finger prints and smudges
Summary: I love my MotoRAZR2 V9!! I previously had a RAZR V3 and compared to that this phone is much improved. The haptics are awesome!! It would be nice to be able to read and or dismiss text messages / incoming calls, and reminders via the external screen's touch keys (the only thing the external screen's haptic keys are used for is the music player). I also wish there was a timeline meter for the song that is playing while the flip is closed. You can fast-forward/rewind using the external buttons but without a timeline (which is there when the flip is open) it is almost impossible to accurately guess how far you have moved in the song. The music player is easily accessed with the flip closed by pushing the external smart key. The call quality is excellent, the screen resolution really wowed me compared to my old V3. I bought mine directly from at&t and it shipped with micro usb charger, a mini usb to miccro usb adapter, and a micro usb to 3.5mm headphone adapter. I do not have a wireless stereo headset so I cannot review the bluetooth aspects... great phone feels very solid and luxurious... wouldn't go back to the old RAZR line after using the RAZR squared V9. Everyone I know comments on how beautiful it looks, even when I am not trying to show it off. =) A few tiny things that could be better, but nothing majorly lacking, overall I recommend it.
