It’s hard to follow up on something which in a way was game-changing. Also with recent strife in Moto, this could be the last of their great phones. Sequels in movies rarely outdo the originals and the same can be true for most phones. The RAZR 2 V8 developers obviously knew this so worked really hard on the design of the phone, both outside and inside. The RAZR 2 is thinner again which is a feat in itself. It now has two screens so you don’t even need to flip the phone to get a lot of usage from it.
The phone comes with either 512mb of built-in memory or else 2GB but the big drawback with this is that it is one or the other, there is no memory expansion slot which is quite disappointing given most other phones offer this. Using the phone itself, you feel like it is a strong and sturdy phone and will survive the usual bumps and knocks of a phone and this is backed up by the quality material put into the phone.
When it comes to the software on the phone, the V8 is very simple to use with an interface that makes sense instantly. The menu options will get you to the main features of the phone almost instantly. Good camera, efficient mp3 player and many accessories. The big drawback for the V8 though is the lack of 3G which is almost a prerequisite in most new phones. If you liked the original RAZR you’ll love this, a fantastic improvement on an already good phone. Well worth investing in if you like thin flip phones.
