Motorola Razr2 V9x (AT&T)

Pros: Outstanding reception, volume & clarity. Crystal talk is the most outstanding technological advancement in cell phones in quite awhile. Slim & attractive design, fast internet, decent menu. Decent interface, rock solid, dependable & well

Cons: Finger print magnet, battery life good but not great unless you add an extended battery. I would like more options on the outside screen. A wider choice of menu options or different programs would be nice. Nit-picking but ..... No real deficits.

Summary: I am an adult that works in the medical field & I am on call at times. I absolutely have to have a cell phone that has good reception, good clarity & volume & dependable. I've tried them all & nothing fills the bill for me like the Razr series. If you're looking for entertainment, impressive gadgets, simple minded entertainment, etc. this may not be your first pick, although the music player & speakers work very well with good volume & sound. Of course, the bass is soft but acceptable. It is also nice to be able to access the player from the outer screen at a touch of the button. You can also check you recent calls/messages on the outside screen. The camera works very well & I print out a lot of pictures taken with this phone. The phone holds a lot of contacts/addresses & the voice command on this phone is very impressive & I haven't seen one that works any better, but most don't work this well. Very nice feature.

I live in a rural area & in a situation (medicine) that I must have contact with others. I have two services to accomplish that & have the Rzr2 v9m on Alltel & the Rzr2 v9x on AT&T. I simply have to have phone capability & this is my solution at this time. There are a lot of neat cell phones out there today & you can just about find anything you want. I've owned & tried several & it is just what you want or need in a phone that influences your choices. I don't need a smart phone although I wouldn't mind having one but I cannot take one into my place of employment, so I don't need one. I don't need the BlackBerry services, but like their phones & service, just not exactly what I need. I primarily need a DGCP, darn good cell phone & the Razor series has served me well the last few years. Fantastic phone & I have been very happy with the razr series the last few years to provide exactly what I need. There are enough phones out there that each has something someone wants or needs. An amazing array of phones, programs & services, take your pick. But if you want a cell phone for communication that is depenable & efficient, you'll by hard pressed to purchase anything that will out perform the Razr2.
