“No doubt Motorola RAZR2 V8 is a stylish mobile phone, a high-flier in design, adequate in functionality. Motorola faithfuls will hail it, while many other unbiased users are likely to find it agreeable. The Motorola RAZR V3 was near revolutionary back in its day but three years after it was introduced, the glory has started to fade. And the RAZR2 V8 is in for an ordeal living up to its status. The major competitors Nokia, Samsung, Sony Ericsson and LG have a few thin, cool and loaded gadgets to offer. So, keeping the glory alive is truly a challenge. The RAZR2 V8 has what it takes in style and high-class finish but seems to lack some of the current must-have features such as 3G and an autofocus camera. We feel that if Motorola had done just a little bit better they would have had a true winner.”

I have had this phone for 2 years now and do not plan on giving it up for a while. It is incredibly thin and stylish and very durable. The screens are nice, the speaker is surprisingly loud for its size. the keys are comfortable to push and the camera is decent. Overall, it is a good phone which ...

I have had nothing but trouble with this phone. Battery life is next to nil - though this was explained away by the t-mobile reps as a problem with my reception. Apparently when you can't get reception, your phone is constantly searching for service, thus, running the battery down. When I got the...

$400 for unexpandable 512 MB of internal flash memory and no option of expanding it with a microSD? Ch-ching$$$ T-mobile won't sell these to current customers upgrading to their current phone. Thanks, T-Mobile. Way to keep the customers loyal.
