Look, I would agree that it is strange that a US company would not make a phone for CDMA users as well. Going back to the AMPS days, a single phone worked on either of the 2 networks in any MTA (??). That said, the SLVR is a sleek pphone with some features that were added and some that were left out. Added iTunes (100 song limit). Nice to have in a phone, but not necessary. GPRS, but not EDGE? I was expected EDGE, does class 10 gprs = EDGE? Don't know. Like the removable transflash slot and slim design of the phone. <br><br>For those complaining about this being a rehash of the razr, you are partially correct. However, when you have a hot product, can make minor or medium modification, and make money off of it, why not do it?<br><br>I don't use dat a great deal, however since this phone was first rumored last summer and since it builds upon the Razr platform (1 year old), for the life of me I can't figure out why this phone does't have EDGE when CHEAPER phones have it and UMTS is 6-10 month away from a mass launch!!<br><br>Example:<br><br>Car companies rehash the same car and label it 3 different ways to market to target customers. The Chevy Tahoe, GMC Yukon and Caddilac Escalade are all the same "basic" vehicle. Each "model" adds a little something that that demographic want in a vehicle.<br><br>Overall, I give the phone a 7 for looks, style and initial call quality.
