Motorola RAZR2 V8 review: New edge to RAZR

After three long years of waiting we face the RAZR V3 successor: the slim and refined Motorola RAZR2 V8. Sporting a full metal jacket with gradating hues of dark pearl gray, the phone is made to impress. With two high-quality displays with QVGA ...

Quality metal casing and appealing design ; Really thin, measuring 11.9 mm in thickness ; Large internal and external displays, touch-sensitive keys on the outer display ; CrystalTalk for excellent voice quality ; Talking Phone with SMS and Email...

No 3G support ; No memory card slot ; No brightness settings for the external display ; The handset is easy to slip off the hands ; Large size when opened

Motorola RAZR2 V8 has a truly graceful silhouette, but the 11.9 mm of thickness get to be appreciated even more considering the clamshell form factor. Clean shape and rounded edges make the slim handset look solid, yet elegant. It does manage to...

Motorola RAZR2 V8

The Motorola RAZR2 V8 has T-Mobile's best call quality.

Feels luxurious. Excellent call quality and reception. Good Web browser. 2GB built-in memory.

Expensive for a T-Mobile handset. Third-party applications are crippled. Internet access issues. ; Watch the Motorola RAZR2 V8 Video Review!

The phone's microphone doesn't entirely block out all environmental noise, but voices come out clearly on top of any background sounds. Voice dialing, which requires no training, worked well in my testing. Battery life was excellent for voice calls,...

Motorola RAZR2 V9m (Verizon Wireless)

Verizon's RAZR2 V9m puts a low-end interface on a thoroughly high-end phone.

Excellent voice quality. Music player displays info on external screen.

Boring interface. Camera is pretty lame.

Motorola RAZR2 V9m (Alltel)

Alltel's version of the Motorola RAZR2 offers a sprightly interface, flexible music player and on-screen information widgets.

Fast, responsive interface. Lets you read text messages on outside screen. Music player supports both WMA and AAC.

Very limited e-mail options.

Motorola RAZR2 V9m (Sprint)

The flagship feature on this handset though is the more than 30 channels of SprintTV which can be displayed on the V9m's outside screen, along with the beefy built-in speaker that's loud enough to entertain you and your neighbors on any extended...

Sprint TV on external screen. Very good voice quality. Allows all third-party Java programs

Java stability and compatibility issues. Unimpressive camera. No official e-mail option

Sprint's top-of-the-line feature phone looks and feels luxurious, and playing Sprint TV on the front screen is a fun trick. What's astonishing is that there are no included e-mail applications and some Java programs could be more stable.

Motorola MOTORAZR² V9m

Finally, the next-generation Motorola Razr2 -- this model is packed with extras, including a 2-megapixel camera, 65MB of onboard storage (so there's no real need for an optional memory card unless you want to listen to a lot of music), and a spacious...

Motorola RAZR2 V8 Review

Mixed feelings are left at the end. While it is a great handset to use for talking, the few things that are missing or perform poorly just seem to hinder it greatly. There are options that just seem to be skipped over when we can find them on models...

Motorola RAZR2 V9m Review

The MotoRAZR2 V9m from Sprint is a beautiful phone loaded with features, including a 2mp camera, wireless music downloads and a very usable 2” external QVGA display. Unfortunately, its function does not follow its breathtaking form. This ultra slim,...

The Razr2 V8 is T-Mobile's version of the widely offered Razr2 phone. Designed to capitalize on the success of the original Razr, this version differs from other iterations of the Razr2 in that it has two gigabytes of built in memory and better...
