Don't worry I'll learn to spell while you slowly pass away. Wait, I guess I should take back the anorexia comment, I seem to remember a certain donut post.......

just because i'm anorexically challenged doesn't mean you have to go there! shouldn't you be answering the phones or something? after all, I am you boss.

wider than me last night?


i almost posted a witty reply, but i decided not to, so just die

i'm working on it right now...just for you. kthxbye.


Try chain smoking, binge drinking, heroine, and anorexia to speed things up a bit. kthxbye.

Heroine? I'm no female superhero...unless you wanna pay me lots and lots of money for a cheap thrill. ;)

You may be my boss, but you are still a student and my GPA is higher. Stupid.

RAZR has a cool design. I just need more than a phone. Actually, I need less phone and more data.

If it had blackberry and speakerphone and... ah, that's what a 7100g is for. nevermind.

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


yes it does

All of the reviews I've seen say the software is based on the 720 and owning the 720 I can say you do not have to do that. I simply add another number to the listing, classify it and then in the address book I can scroll to different numbers by pushing left or right on the d-pad. My friend has the 815 which also operates the same way. Why would you have to add another entry for a second number? I haven't done that since I used a LG phone 2 years ago (and it was outdated then).

there's a setting to list by name instead of number
all motorolas have the option...they just come set to list by number by default

Phones should be just that, phones. They should perform their job as well as possible, be as small as possible, and have good battery life, at the expense of extraneous features like cameras and games.

I think it's def overhyped, but I would still like one, as my cell is too bulky to fit in my pocket comfortably, and I don't like to wear a belt clip, I think it would be nice

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

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....

not a question to ask geeks i guess. or some are bitter who voted yes. its an object of desire. that alone can make many happy enough to ignore any flaws. and well if ur happy who cares
