The tag line for this cell phone should be ''Grow up to the new generation style statement ''. It truly is. The phone is half an inch thick and made of anodized aluminum – the same material as an Apple PowerBook G4 laptop. It is a quad band GSM phone with Bluetooth and pretty much every other feature a modern phone can have. Turning the phone on brings up a gorgeous LCD screen. This screen rivals any PDA screen for color and contrast. Of course its resolution is relatively low, but for a phone screen it’s really gorgeous. Just holding the phone is an experience. Its so thin, so light, and really truly beautiful.
The keypad was acid burned to keep it thin and so I had wondered how it would feel and was very pleasantly surprised to find it very good. In fact, its probably the best keypad I’ve ever felt on any other phone I’ve ever used. The start call &end call buttons are in position for a change, very unlike motorola, lemme tell ya.
The problem with many flip phones is you have to open it to see who is calling. The Razr comes with a full color LCD screen on its flip cover. This screen shows you who is calling as well as almost all the indicators of the big screen inside. Very cool.
The camera though is nothing spectacular(below average actually), it's in par with any other cell phone in it's category.
Its thin, its light, its feature-full, and does its primary job better than my previous phone. I do wish synching would’ve worked better on my PC just so I could have tested that more and I do wish I had an easy to get to favorites contact list. But other than that, it is hard to find fault with this phone. The battery life seems good. Reception is great. The UI is great in most areas. The LCD screen on both the inside and outside is fantastic. And knowing that I can take this phone anywhere in the world is pretty nice too.
