No worries, these two are Humboldt Penguins. Their bickering is irrelevant. The superiority of the Emperors is untarnished.

Why would you want a friggn RaZr. I got a V600 a year ago for free. It's the SAME THING as a RaZr. Hell, the V600 is the SAME thing as a V300 except it has Bluetooth. You can easily flash a V300 into a V600 and it plays videos and etc all fine.

The best phone on the market is the K750i. That 2 MP camera owns and it's MP3 player is a solid one....

People get a Razr because it looks chic, different priorities for different folks. I have a v300 in a v600 oem housing (silver hinges, lcd screen, only thing thats missing is the ringing lights). I also flashed/flexed it with v600 software/firmware. So it's basically a v600 without the bluetooth.

The StarTAC (anyone remember that?) was the most overhyped cellphone ever.

I dont understand why the RAZR is viewed as the greatest cellphone ever. Sure its nice and thin, but is it really superior to all others?

People like it because of its looks. I doubt anyone is trying to argue that it's the most functional phone ever

 

[abc]

how much are you folks getting the k750i for btw?

 

[Svnla]

The Razr is ok, thin enough but tooooooooo W--I--D--E.

what i dont like with most motorolas was the phonebook

if you had someone's cell phone, work phone and home phone you had to make 3 seperate entries in the phone book and it lists them under 3 seperate names

not sure if this applies to the razr but that is one of the thing i hated about the motorola phone i used to have

This isn't the case for my i730. I have one entry for the name and under that I have multiple numbers. Home, Cell, Work, Direct Connect, ect.

i've had one, so i can say yes.

My ancient Motorola StarTac 7868 phonebook lets me put in 4 phones # (with 6 different icons) into 1 name entry. If they put the old software into the razor I'd like it. It was easy to use and quick. I don't care for color, camera, mp3, midi/ringtones, internet, email.

i just want a clamshell phone that makes and receives calls with good reception and clarity.....and works with Cingular

 

[effee]

Agreed. I had one to. Not bad but I broke the antenna at least 3 times. Damn they were flimsy!

Trio 650 is good, razr looks like calculator, but worse

my samgsung works the same way

my samsung e715 doesnt

under 1 name entry i can have an 3 numbers and an e-mail entry

imo it is retarded to see the same name 4 times in a list because of that lameass implementation of a phonebook

IMO no
i just list them like this

Bill Cell
Bill Home
Bill work

finding them is easy as hell, and i dont think i have anyones email addy stored in my phone, nor do i know why i would

to send pictures perhaps?

at first when i saw it i thought it looked really cool. Then, I held it, tried to push the buttons, and carry it. I wanted to toss it really hard against the wall for poor ergonomic design. I hated it ever since.

fixed for imagination.

lol wth?

 

[Xyclone]

My friend just got one, but his phone is always off. :roll:

 

[vegetation]

I have one, overall I'd give it 8 out 10 stars. The thin design is indeed pocket friendly. I prefer it much over the fatter but less wide types of flips. Speakerphone and handset is incredibly loud; easily the loudest I've ever encountered with some SEEM tweaking. I really like how I can make calls on speaker without ever opening the flip too (thanks again to tweaking).

 

[kranky]

It was interesting to read the customer reviews on Amazon. For the most part, the people who loved the phone talked about how cool it was and how much it impressed people. The people who weren't crazy about it talked about actual deficiencies related to how it worked.

 

[imported_Mike]

Its basically form over function, but they're FAR now with bluetooth headsets..not bad.

 

[Thegonagle]

I still prefer the V60i/t/c/g profile. The metal case and compact size are the sHiz.

 

[aidanjm]

too many technical problems, faults, with it.
