"Corrects a big Razr blunder"
4.0 starson by francissawyerPros: Side buttons on the BASE, not the screen
Cons: No doubt it'll be GSM-only; Verizon customers hosed
Summary: Obviously this thing isn't out yet, but already from the pictures you can see that it corrects a major defect in the earlier Razr design: the side buttons. The current Razrs inexplicably have the important side buttons on the wrong half of the phone, up by the screen. WHAT? Who holds the phone by its screen? They had the buttons right 10 years ago on the StarTac!
Both the Pebl and Razr V3x correct this dumb move.
This and the Pebl may finally provide a worthy successor to the StarTac, since the StarTac 2004 mysteriously never made its way to the U.S. It's just too bad that manufacturers continually ignore the CDMA (Verizon, Sprint, and South American) market and release one GSM-only phone after another.

Samsung has the A900 to compete with the Pathetic Razr. It works with the Sprint CDMA service and has high speed internet. <br><br>Opt for the A920 if you go with Sprint..much better phone without the voice, battery or bluetooth issues the A900 initially has before updating the software.

Hello, I read your review. It sounds like the perfect phone. Can you tell me is the phone a GSM quad band UTMC? I don't see any literature on that yet? You can wriwte to me at my email address if you don't mind: faindelicato@verizon.net. Hope you get this message.
