The 610 beats the proverbial pants off the RAZR. 2MP rotating camera plus it's not a Motorola. 🤣

I like the Motorolas (excluding the c290) the RAZR is cheaper and has a lot of great features, the camera will be a lot better on the m610 and bluetooth is a newer version.

I mean the Motos are not bad. I am just a fan of Samsung. I like their UI better and the phones seem (at least in my experience) to be less buggy. SLVA has a point that the RAZR is almost the same as far as features as the m610 and will be less expensive. The bluetooth chip set in the m610 will be better than the RAZR, including (I think) A2DP (stereo) profile. Go into a store and play with the RAZR and see if you like it. It just comes down to what you like to use better. Remember you are gonna have it for at least a couple years. My 2 cents. 😁

I play a lot of 3gp and mp4 files and the RAZR has a large screen that you can play fullscreen videos, thats a major plus to me, the Microsd is not hot swappable due to the placement of it w/ the battery, and I find the UI as JM says a lot less intuitive than a Samsung.

I currently Carry the Moto RAZR, Samsung A920, and LG Fusic.

If I had to buy one this weekend I would buy the LG Fusic 99.99 and 50 mail in rebate only $49.99, but after Sunday I would go with the RAZR.

I have always hated the a900, a big drawback for the m610 is the monochrome external caller id, no picture caller ID, and no videos can play on the outside, so a plus on the RAZR side


hope this helps

im more into the thin line phones, i like the camera and MP3 as an option, but i have an ipod and digital cam already. I mainly care for the thin line, call quality, and sound of the phone. I did play with the RAZR and like it, but havent played with the M610. SLVA do you guys have the M610 yet? or have you played with it?

played with it yes, but not on an active line of service

PROS of M610
*SUPER THIN
*GREAT UI
*HOT SWAPPABLE MICROSD

CONS OF M610
*HAS NOT STOOD THE TEST OF TIME TO SEE IF IT IS QUALITY (ie: IT COULD HAVE MAJOR ISSUES)
*MONOCHROME EXTERNAL CALLER ID
*FEELS CHEAP IMHO

PROS OF RAZR
*DURABLE FEEL
*HAS STOOD THE TEST OF TIME, WELL TUNED, ITS BEEN OUT FOR 2 YEARS, MOST BUGS ARE FIXED
*NICE EXTERNAL CALLER ID
*GOOD RECEPTION

CONS
*HYBRID SPRINT/MOTO UI NOT AS USER FRIENDLY AS M610
*EVERYONE HAS ONE
*HAS ITAP INSTEAD OF T9WORD

I think thats a pretty good synopsis. I, being a Samsung fan, agree in whole with that comparison.

Sincerely,

Yes very much so. For the price/feature/quality ratio I think it unbeatable.
