Motorola Droid Razr 16GB (black, Verizon Wireless)

Pros: Interface, Design, Price

Cons: Battery life could be better

Summary: I'm still working out the best smart tool settings to get the most battery life out of it - with the right settings you can get the battery to last for ~ 2 days if you aren't using it to browse the web all the time. I know people have complained about battery life, and it isn't great, but it is enough to get through the day, which is about all you need as you can charge it while you're sleeping. The interface is good - I feel as though any smart phone is going to be similar to the iphone though. I'm looking into rooting the phone so I can take off some of the apps that come with it - the ability to get under the hood and work on the phone is largely why I chose it over the rival iphone. Also, it was $35 at amazon mobile, so it was a good $165 cheaper.

I don't really have a whole lot to complain about - it's a great phone for a great price that has okay battery life. If you want better battery life, shell out the extra $200 for the same phone with a larger battery. I do wish that you could replace the battery, but the design is so svelte I forgive it for that fault.

I like that you can expand the memory too - I put a $25 32gb sdhc card in there, and now I use it for my photos, music, and documents.
