Pros:
Great, polished design. A real improvement and modern update to the aging RAZR body. Good calling, with plenty of calling features that work well. Huge external screen. |
 |
Cons:
Small video windows make viewing difficult. Stereo Bluetooth a complete bust in our tests. Music player too simple for an advance multimedia phone. No headphones, even though the connector type is very new. |
|
| Conclusion: |
|
| Hanging out with the RAZR2 is like seeing an old high school buddy again. It looks good, and you can have a lot of fun together, but then it reminds you why you prefer your college buddies. The RAZR2 has some nice features and some serious foibles, but for $250 with a contract agreement, it should be Sprint and Motorola's multimedia flagship. Instead, almost everything needs improvement; the camera, the video player, the music player, the Web browser and even the messaging apps. That being said, one thing that does not need improvement is the shell. The phone itself looks great, and we'd be happy to whip it out in a crowd and start flashing it around. We'd even make calls with it. But that's where the party ends, where we want to say goodbye, and go back to hanging out with our more educated, mature friends. |
