I bought this to replace my wife's Sony slider. She really loved her RAZR and never warmed up to the slider. I did a ton of research and this phone has great reviews from everyone. I initiall ordered it from Cellular Blowout. What a nightmare. The order was cancelled, thank God. I wised up and ordered through Amazon. Fast and dependable as always.

The phone came in an impressive package. We slid in the AT&T sim card and it worked instantly. Not all the contacts moved over, but not a big deal. Paired with bluetooth effortlessly. The call quality is top notch. A lot more bells and whistles but my wife will never use them.

The bottom line. Same great RAZR. Much better built quality. Improved sound. 2 giant screens. You cannot go wrong with this phone. You get what you paid for.

Well I'll keep it short and simple.. if you check out Motorola's website for this phone, you get a pretty good idea of the kind of phone you're getting.

In my case I upgraded from a V3i to this V8. I can only say it's sturdier, has a way faster menu navigation, louder sound and a sleek design.

It seems to me slightly bigger than the v3 and it's just slightly smaller and thinner than the trendy iPhone. However.. when opened up it's mermerizing.

I don't want to spoil your customer experience, so I'll just say... you'll love it the minute you get it, even the original box and packing will impress you.

If you like flip phones... you're gonna love this baby.

Some people need to learn to read the review on the website they're buying their products from. Apparently a few reviewers went to the Motorola website and just assumed that everything listed on the spec page would be included with the phone sold from this site.

The review clearly states it comes with 512MB of NON-upgradable memory. It clearly states there is NO SD or MicroSD expansion slot. It doesn't mention a touchscreen.

This phone does everything the review states. It's over $80 less than one bought directly from Motorola and you'd think people would understand why that is.

We buy these phones because we don't want to be tied to long-term contracts. This in turn means some of the phones more advanced or even desirable features will be missing. The phone is capable of 2GB of storage, but only if you buy one directly from a carrier like AT&T. The benefits of doing so include getting more memory and few extra features, the drawback is you will be tied to a 2 or 3 year contract, with the full price of the phone (usually inflated to several times the actual retail cost) due if you decide to break it.

There are three choices. First you can pay the full retail price for the phone and still only have the features listed here, the memory listed here (512MB), but you'll get an English manual and maybe a free USB cable.

Secondly, chain yourself to a long term contract with penalty clauses for leaving early, but you'll probably end up with a phone that has more memory. If you're using a phone as media player, this may well be your best choice as long as you know there are far superior alternatives.

Finally if you only intend to use the phone as a phone with perhaps email, texting, photos and few other things thrown in, don't want to tie yourself to a contract and you're happy downloading a pdf copy of the manual from Motorola.. then you get the cheapest version, but also the version with the least available features activated.

The phone I was sent, is not an international sim lock free Motorola V8, but a Motorola V8 from the telephone provider Orange in the UK with a UK power adapter ! It has probable been 'unlocked by the seller' It has an Orange back plate on the phone and an Orange operating system. It cannot connect to the internet, as it always wants to go via Orange UK. For the price I paid, I fee ripped off. This information was not disclosed in the Amazon advertisement for the phone. If it was, I would not have bought it.

The phone arrived alot quicker than I expected so that was a bonus. I love the phone itself, however it is quite hard to keep clean...gets really greasy every time you use it. The other problem was that the operator manual was not in English at all...and the disk is not very user friendly. I'm having to learn things the hard way but am happy overall with the phone.

I ordered a new Motorazerv8 phone from Bestbuy 168. Not only did my order arrive early and in new condition it came with a car charger. I would order from them again.

Pretty good cell phone, mostly well designed except for the cover for the headset/charger port, which is flimsy. Also, I don't like that the headset/charger port are one connector. And I don't like that the headset connector is not a 2.5mm but some kind of Motorola design. Had to buy a special OEM adaptor to use a cellphone headset with a 2.5mm plug with this phone.

I was very excited today when i received this in the mail. When i first opened it, it was very cool, motorola designed the box of the phone to be at top with the phone. I popped in my at&t sim card and everything worked fine! Calling and texting works, im still trying to get my internet settings figured out. This is a very nice phone, and i suggest it to anyone that is looking to buy. This phone looks and feel like a million bucks. One thing i was diappointed in was the fact it lacked external touch sensitive controls. They only work with the music player. But when you get a text you can view and reply to it without opening the phone but you have to use the side controls. Other than that its a nice phone.

I am very pleased vith this item and would recommend it to anyone wanting a phone with the qualities this phone have

Works great. Micro USB is questionable. Have problem with charging. USB to computer works best. I only need a utility phone.
