Full review
I've had my Razr2 since November 2008 (IIRC) and I think it's time for a review of some kind!
Well, I'll start with the good things.
The phone itself is very attractive, it has a shiny metallic look and a touch screen on the clam,(only operational when playing music but we'll talk about that later) and when you open it up you are greeted to a decent sized screen and metallic key-pad. It doesn't feel very cheap when you get it out of the box.
The keypad irritates my hands when they are hot/clammy, however.
It's a good size for your hand and is rather thin. It still doesn't look old fashioned, even in 2009!
Talking of the box, included is the relevant paperwork, a wired hands free +earphone thing which plugs into the side of the side of the phone, coincidentally into the same slot the charger goes.
When you start to play about with the phone, you soon find out that it's fairly easy to navigate, most of the menu options are listed in a clear way, the biggish buttons and clear menus had me zipping about the phone after a matter of hours.
I had some issues getting the phone able to easily transfer data across, as I only take photos/videos and music on/off my phone, I set the phone to act as a "Storage Device" in the USB settings menu, under Connections.
What is a media sync anyway? :P
For me at least, the on-board memory is satisfactory. It carries about 4 hours of my music, which is more enough for me. Although that is also a bit of a dead end, as you will see later. Although I best say you cannot upgrade the memory of the phone by using a memory card - They are not supported as there is no slot!
Moving onto the music itself, the player, once open, runs in the background so you can still use the phone while it's playing, which is thoughtful of them. You have the option to pause/play, next track and previous track (hold next/previous to fast-forward and re-wind accordingly), which again is fairly intuitive. Volume is a 7 step adjustment which can be changed using the upper two buttons. Press and hold the smallest to lock out the touch-screen. I've never had the need to use this function, apart from when it's raining as every time I so much as walk it decides to randomly change track, but like I said this is an issue only when raining and wearing my Jeans so perhaps it's me.
The reception on O2 seems fine and I've never been without a signal in the UK. It even worked on the holiday to Malta.
Onto the less good/negative things.
The camera is mediocre, put it this way - If you're going anywhere and think you may want some decent photos, take a proper camera! This is NOT one of those digital cameras with a phone attached things, unfortunately.
The battery time is best described as a joke, when being used. I get approx a week standby, when only a few short calls/very few text/no music was used. The phone lasts for approx 6 hours as an MP3 player before it starts flashing at you. Talk time I'd guess to be between 10 and 20 hours. I often need to charge my phone every 3 days or so.
The video facility is poor, resulting in grainy images and strained sound.
The cover for the battery/hands free kit came off after about... 3 weeks, shame really, as it really spoils the look of the phone. The smaller of the side buttons on the left of the phone (as you would hold it) has also 'broke' - It still works but needs a very decisive push, this happened several months ago (and often results in a painful finger after pressing it!).
Overall, it's a phone, at the end of the day. It makes and receives calls and text messages. It has a usable photo camera should you need it (just don't expect hi-quality shots) and a good music player with easy to use controls and enough space for most people for a long journey or the commute to work.
I'd recommend it, personally. It's done all I ask of a phone and more - I've dropped it countless times and it still looks fairly new. You'd be very hard pressed to damage the screen or the shell itself of your Razr2 without meaning to.
If only the battery was a bit bigger, but that's the price you pay for a very slim phone I guess.
Advantages: Looks, range of good functions Disadvantages: fiddly to attach USB cable, no SD card slot
Motorola Razr2 V8:
When this phone came out of the box, my first thought was 'WOW, that's fantastic!'. My second thought was 'If this works as well as it looks then I'm ecstatic!'. This is the first time I have bought a phone online without seeing it in a brick and mortar store but I am a Motorola fan and felt I couldn't really go wrong. Charge/Battery: The battery charged very quickly out of the box. After several hours of constant use, including ... ...2 hours. Software:
Motorola Phone Tools is the software package provided for general synchronisation of files/music/calendar/phonebook entries and it is fairly straightforward to use as well syncing with Outlook etc. The easiest way I have found to transfer files is to use the File Manager. There is a melody maker for creating your own ringtones as well as a MMS & Video suite. Both are basic but perfectly functional with a 'wizard' to help you create ...

...a number of reasons, but Motorola seem to have gotten it right this time. The system is easy to navigate. However, at times it can seem quite slow, especially when browsing media files such as pictures and videos. Reception On Orange, I seem to get great reception all the time.

Advantages: Reception, User friendly, Photo quality Disadvantages: USB Port, Phone games
...start? Well I've had my Motorola since Christmas, and I still love it. This phone has style, it looks fantastic, and I am often told this by friends. The phone arrived in a very slick gray box, and even though it took me a while to get into it! I was blown away at how attractive and sleek the phone is up-close.
WHAT IS GREAT ABOUT THIS PHONE
1. Its screen is large and bright which makes it perfect for viewing videos and pictures.
2. The features ... ...2000 messages so for keen texters like myself it is a god send, no more hours spent deleting old messages!
3. The phone has Bluetooth, MMS, SMS, and great photo quality
4. The phone comes with a software package which is straight forward to use, it helps with organizing files/calendar/phonebook and all music files

Advantages: Sexy, sleek look Disadvantages: slow, lacks many good features
I bought this phone because I loved the look of it.
I personally believe its the sexiest phone on the market at the moment with its sleek, fashionable finish and slim build.
However, if fails to contain all the features I would expect from a phone in 2008, though it has a decent camera, relatively good memory and a pretty good music player (which is also touch screen). The phone is very slow moving, often freezes and when typing a text the phone ... ...mis-spell. The dictionary also has a very restricted vocabulary, therefore becoming more time consuming than it should be to say its a feature built to save time.
Furthermore, though I was quite pleased to find that the phone had locks, and therefore allowed you to assign passwords to certain areas of the phone, this did not include photo or videos which I think is something that phones of a lower spec allow you to do. So this disappointed me.
