Lets get one thing straight - you will never buy this phone for its features, so why give it a bad review because of its lack of features? This phone is meant for one thing -- Style. And not one other phone in the market comes close to this phone in style - and the sales of this phone prove it.

The signal strength on this phone is very good. In elevators where I didnt get signal with other phones, this phone picks up enough signal to carry the conversation through without any of those "didnt hear you - can you repeat that?". I really havent seen another GSM phone with signal quality as strong as this one, which is funny because this phone's antenna doesnt even stick out (internal antenna). Bluetooth audio is clear - I have verified this with the Jabra BT200 and the Motorola HS820.

Camera is good, but not as good as some other phones out there. Video is good, not as good as other phones out there. No memory card. Here's the bottom line - if you want a phone that works like a good phone and looks damn good, this is the phone for you. If you want a phone that does videos / audio etc, then look elsewhere - or wait for the v3i.

Want a good looking phone with great voice quality? Buy this phone. Theres really no competition. Want a camera + camcorder + mp3 player + organizer + toaster? Skip it...

I am a cingular customer and was totally bummed when I found out that I couldn't get this awesome phone from my provider. A lot of people online have been questioning why someone would get a phone from here for so much money when you can get one from T mobile stores, but if you are not a T mobile customer you need an UNLOCKED version of the phone to use it. All I had to do was put my old sim card in it and it worked! I have not experienced any problems at all with my phone so far. It works great and it is beautiful. It works great as a phone and the camera and video opions are fun. It also comes with software and a cable that connects to your computer so you can transfer songs and pictures to you cell, which is awesome. You can take any song and make it your ringtone for free! I would like to say that a lot of people complain that this phone isn't a great camera, mp3 player, etc...but those things are just for fun extras. Buy a digital camera or an i pod if you want all that! If you like style and pink this is the phone for you! The only complaint I have is that it took almost a month to arrive!

The RAZR is a very durable and reliable phone. Contrary to other reviews I have dropped my phone several times and it keeps on tickin'! My wife has the pink RAZR and I have the black RAZR and both of us are extremely pleased. This is by far the best phone on the market. It separates itself from all the other plastic and cheap phones.

I ordered the Pink RAZR phone knowing that it would be, just that, a phone. I didn't have any big expectations for cool features, I figured the large price tag was just what you have to pay for style. When I got the phone, I was pleasantly surprised at some of the features, and disappointed with a few flaws.

The biggest feature of this phone is undoubtedly the fact that it's pink, svelte, and beautiful. I get tons of compliments on it from just about everyone who sees it. In addition to that, however, I did find that as far as camera phones go, the RAZR's camera was pretty decent. I was also pleasantly surprised at how large and bright the LCD was. My favorite feature, though, is the mobile phone tools software that comes with the phone that allows you to use segments of mp3 files as ringers, which saved me a lot of money (I usually buy them online) and enabled me to use whatever I want as a ringer. You can also upload pictures using the software, which was pretty useful and made for some cute wallpaper. More or less, it provided me with the style I wanted, and more features than I expected.

Despite the fact that it was a great phone to begin with, I started having problems about three weeks into owning it. I would turn the phone on, and it would randomly dial numbers and then shut itself off. I thought perhaps I had dropped it or gotten it wet, but upon investigation, I found no sign that I had damaged it and had no knowledge of any accidents involving the phone. I was very worried that I'd just spent over 300 dollars on what would now be a very stylish paperweight, but I called Amazon's customer service and a very nice representative shipped me a replacement phone and labels to send my defective unit back with. I got the new phone, and everything has been going great so far, so I would just assume I got a defective phone to begin with. The only other flaw I can find with the RAZR is that it doesn't have great battery life, however, this isn't a huge issue, it just needs to be charged every day or two-- especially if you're constantly taking on it like I am.

Overall, it is a great phone and more than I expected it to be. Amazon also went above and beyond my expectations to get my phone replaced as quickly as possible, and I am a very satsified customer. Plus, out of all the different phones I've had (probably 10 or more including other motorolas, nokias, samsung, etc.) this is by far my favorite.

Normally I'd only rate this phone about a 4/5, because some things (like the internal 5mb of memory) could be alot better. Nonetheless, a couple people have rated the phone really low because of errors on their part! Either way, the phone's amazing. I get ok (40%) reception with it even in the subway system of Toronto, that's good considering it's the first phone to sense any network. It's sleek, sexy, has great battery life and uses USB mini jack for accessories, great for cheap DIY projects (led lights, laser pointers, headphones, chargers, battery packs etc.)

If you can get this for a great deal (99 dollars w/ a 3 yr plan from Rogers) then go for the phone, but don't buy it alone, the pricetag just doesn't match the features.

The phone works great. Great reception, sound, and video quality. The only real problem is the charging. Plug in the charger, set the phone down and it is charging fine, come back in a few minutes and it is no longer charging as if the cord is not even there, or it has completely shut down and is no longer charging. Have to unplug the cord and replug it and the charge starts over. This can happen over and over, can take days to charge this phone. Have taken it back twice. First time they replaced the battery, it did the same thing. Second time they replaced the whole phone, it worked great for a few weeks, now the new one is doing the SAME thing.

What good is a phone that won't charge!

THESE PHONES ARE NOT BUILT IN THE US. THERFORE YOU DO NOT GET THE MANUFACTURE 1YR WARRANTY. I BOUGHT THIS PHONE AND IT QUIT WORKING 35 DAYS AFTER I GOT IT. AMAZON WILL NOT CREDIT MY MONEY OR REPLACE MY PHONE. MOTOROLA WILL DO NOTHING!!! BECAUSE IT WAS NOT MANUFACTURED IN THE US. I WAS TOLD THIS AFTER I HAD PAID FOR SHIPPING THE PHONE TO MOTOROLA FOR REPAIR. THANK YOU AMAZON FOR THE $179 PINK PAPER WEIGHT.

I live in an area where phone reception is horrible. Although there are pros and cons with this phone, the majority are pros:

Pros:

1. Out of all the cell phones my family and I have used, this one takes the shortest time to connect as well

2. Clarity with every conversation

3. Numerous amount of features.

4. aesthetics

5. battery life is long

Cons:

1. like most phones and services, accessories and fees for extra services (i.e. for verizon the V-cast feature is aprox $15)

2. The camera is good for about a 1.0MP but the zoom blurs once you reach the max 4x.

3. It is rumored that after a few years, the screen blinks. This is TBD and I personally have not heard of any other technical error(s).

In general if you take good care of the phone, the phone should work.

I just bought my Motorola pink Razr phone 2 days ago. It is pretty in color, and the keypad is awesome. The picture taking quality seems pretty good.

But I haven't been able to do anything else. Here are the problems with the first phone:

1. exterior camera did not work 2. the screen was blank with a vertical or horizontal line running through it.3. the image on the interior screen was upside down. 4. The digital data and imagery jumbled together and it looked like digital vomit on the screen. 5. 2 hours into using my new phone...the phone died. After charging for 4 hours, I discovered the phone felt red-hot. I unplugged the phone only to discover it did not accept a charge. T-mobile thought for sure I had the 1 in a million truly defective phone. So I got an exact replacement. I am unable to set up options. The camera does not work at all and is causing the image on the screen to repeat-blank white to white with the date and battery charge indicator to the blue T-mobile screen saver to black and repeats. I can do nothing with this new phone. I really really want this pink phone, but so far...I am not impressed. Is is really possible to receive the two brand new defective phones within 24 hours of each other?

I bought the pink motorola razor 2 months ago. About 2 weeks after I bought the phone it started locking up. The keypad would not work. Powering the phone off did not work. I took the phone back to the T-mobile store and was told I had to contact Motorola. The next day it started working again. It had intermittant lock ups, and made beeping noises on it's own. 3 days ago, it locked up and is still not working. I had to buy a new phone. Motorola nor T-Mobile would replace it. Both say it has to have been dropped or has water damage, and neither of these is the case.

Lesson learned, not everything that is pretty on the outside is pretty on the inside. Save your money, get a better quality phone.
