Question for RAZR users
I am asking all the Cingular RAZR users about the durability, the signal, battery life, overall quality of the phone.
It is really worth the 2 or 300 plus bucks on activation (if that is where they start it)?
Thanks in advance for the help.
More phones sold = more phones with warranty issues.
Motorola does not have a disproportionate amount of warranty issues. They have more because they sell more. Motorola defective rates are not significantly higher or lower than any other manufacturer.
Now that being said, do you LIKE the design of the phone? I do not personally, but that does not make it bad. Many people love the style and the construction. It is made from aircraft grade aluminum, very durable substance. The display is quite large and if it will have EVDO is seems like a winner for Verizon.
Thanks for your input. We here are not sure even if our owner will even purchase the phone right away for us to sell. With the LG9800 being so new and in that same price range, he may wait until Summer to bring in the RAZR.
The new LG versus the Razr? Totally go with the LG.
If you sell 40% Motorola phones, they should have 40% of the issues. If you sell 10% Nokia, they should have 10% of the issues.
Of course you see more returns of Motorola handsets, but you can only blame that on statistics.
Bottom line, Motorola is no better or worse than any other major manufacturer for problems.
What phone do you use, since you seem to be pro everything?
I currently carry a MPx-220. Just changed from a ROKR. Will be moving to a W600i next week.
I own a Z520 (just won in a contest) and a LGC2000.
To be honest I carry a different phone every few weeks. I carry what is the hottest phone marketing wise for demo purposes or I carry a new release. I want to have a good working knowledge of every handset and determine for myself how well it works.

You could always send me that Z520 that you won in the costest for free. 😉 🤣
the vzw razr or as some say "crazr" will have ev-do, if the video clips take up that whole screen that would be sick, but if not, stick with the lg9800. now thats a cool phone (but if you wanna look cool using it you have to get it now).
welcome.
Is it worth 300+ dollars? Only if you are into having the "it" phone. There are definately phones that have more features for less money. But nothing, and I mean nothing, stops people in their tracks to check out your phone like the RAZR does.
Its a chick magnet.....Honestly. That is why my wife hates that I use it.

The RAZR is an amazingly durable phone for how fragile its feel is. I have dropped it a few times onto concrete and don't have as much as a scratch on mine.

I wonder what kind of "chick" is attracted by a cell phone? If she is over 16 and I would be very suspect. Can't imagine your wife would be concerned with such a "chick." 🤣

We are both of football player build and have to handle the phone like it is a chihuahua dog. Just not possible with us. He thinks it's cool though. Whatever, as long I don't have to use it. 😛
Bottome line...it is too dainty.
cheers!

I bought the phone unloked, used it for 30 min and thought it sucked when it first came out. I gave it to my partner and he thinks he is cool. 😎

I agree and I'm a slight woman. I like my MPX220 especially with the new firmware. Razor is all flash no substance and kind of looks like a women's phone. this for the purse and all that.

You can get the Razor for $69 at Best Buy if you don't mind sigining contracts/
True, but this is the Cingular/GSM version of the phone.
The verizon version is upgraded in a couple of ways (EV-D0, for example, and a theretically better camera), so they are releasing it pretty close to the price that cingular originally released the RAZR...in my opinion, for the features, you really aren't getting your money's worth.
Then again, I guess some people would consider "cool" to be a "feature" of the phone.... 😈
