"Nice solid phone in a smaller size."
4.0 starson by karenuaPros: Display looks great. Fast speed. Battery life ok so far.
Cons: Can't remove battery. Indoor pictures look a litte washed out. Possible speaker issue?
Summary: I got this phone to replace my old htc Eris Droid. I delayed getting a new phone for a long time because most newer smartphones that had the features I wanted had gotten too big for me. I wanted something small and light. Finally the RAZR M seems to fit my needs. It's still a little bigger than the Eris, but not by much and it doesn't seem any heavier.
Setup was quick and easy. My apps are all working fine. Battery life seems to be doing ok so far (but I've only had the phone for 2 days). For the camera, indoor pictures seem washed out. Outdoor pictures are great. Since I'm almost always taking pictures outside if I'm using my phone, it's not a deal killer for me, but it might be for other users.
I agree with the poster before me, the ringtones that come with the phone are truly awful. I couldn't replace them fast enough!
The only major concern I had was the original phone I got on Thursday had a problem with the earpiece. The speaker was intermittently buzzing. Veizon swapped the phone for me when I brought it back the next day, and so far no problems and call quality seems very good, even on speaker phone.

I am looking to replace my HTC Droid Eris and am considering the Razr M. Now that you've had a bit more time with it, how do you feel the Razr M's battery performs compared to that of the Eris? I am tempted to go for the Razr Maxx because of the excellent battery life, but I really want something more portable. I'd greatly appreciate any feedback you can offer! Thanks!

In reply to the question about volumne while on speaker, I think it's fine. I've used the turn-by-turn directions in the car the other day and had no problem hearing it. Also - I'm getting about 2+ days of battery life with normal usage (I keep the GPS off unless I'm using an app that needs it, and I connect to wireless when at home).

Thanks for the good review. I would like to know what do you think about the volume of the speakers. This is usually a problem for me when I am driving, I barely can hear the directions in some phones.
