I think it looks totally revolutionary compared to the current RAZR!

V9 has HSDPA and a card slot. It runs on the Synergy UI.
V8 has no card slot, EDGE, but runs on the Linux platform.

I cannot believe Motorola has packed a 500MHZ processor in this tiny little clamshell....
Its the most stunning phone ever. Good job Motorola!
Now it would have been nice to use that big-crisp external screen to watch videos on instead of opening the flip and turning it sideways. Now that would have been revolutionary!!!

It's a good phone ,, I liked the internal memory size ! and the screen too
but the design ... we had enough with the same design ... can't Motorola be a bit more creative and make new designs on its mobile phones?
That's what I had in mind.. thanks all

And the first commercial mobile fone by Bell. Just because you take credit for something doesn't mean you made it first.

To Darkman
You really are lost, but I have no need to defend my OPINION. I rest my case... little or no innovation leads to extinction.
So what if the cellular phone was pioneered by Motorola, that is really immaterial if you fall behind. And as such shouldn't Motorola take a few queue's from their past and embrace that pioneering spirit instead of having this RAZR tunnel vision?
Siemens: One of the first GSM (digital) phones (S1) 1994, first phone with a colour screen (S10) 1997 and the first active phone with protective casing (S10 Active), sell the first slider phone (SL10) 1999, purchase Bosch Mobile 2000, sell the first phone with MP3 player and external memory support (SL45) 2000, first phone with real GPS support (SXG75) 2005.
Motorola: "Motorola's networks division (called Personal Communication Section (PCS) prior to 2004) pioneered the flip phone with the StarTAC in the mid-1990s." (well done). "Motorola had a commanding lead in the analog cellphone market, but failed to jump on the digital bandwagon. This mistake combined with the lack of design innovation gave Finnish company Nokia the opportunity to leapfrog ahead of Motorola. Nokia today is the world's largest manufacturer of cellphones with a commanding 33% market share. Motorola is a strong number two with a 22% market share as of July, 2006.".
As of Q1 2007:
-Nokia : 91,100,000 35.5%(2007)... 75,100,000 32.2% 21.3% (2006)
-Motorola : 45,400,000 17.7% (2007)... 46,100,000 19.8% -1.5% (2006)
-Samsung : 34,800,000 13.6% (2007)... 29,000,000 12.4% 20.0% (2006)
-Sony Ericsson : 21,800,000 8.5% (2007)13,300,000 5.7% 63.9% (2006)
-LG Electronics : 15,800,000 6.2% (2007) 15,600,000 6.7% 1.3% (2006)
-Others 47,500,000 : 18.5% 53,900,000 (2007) 23.1% -11.9% (2006)
Listed as: total shipments, then market share, Q1 2006 total shipments and finally Year to Year growth (YTY).

To Darkman. I think you don't know exactly what you are talking about, check Motos market share recently and other manufacturers. SE, Samsung, LG and Nokia are gaining ground... while Motorola are haemoraging money like a footballers wife. I used to respect Motorola for their great design, but you really can get TOO much of a good thing, the RAZR 2 looks old now. If it was released prior to the RIZR's and KRAZR's of yesterday then yes I would be jumping for joy, but NO... Motorola have done something stupid and I think most Moto fans would have to say that they would be a little disappointed with the current crop of phones coming from them.
I am not a Nokia fan and never have enjoyed the design of the N series very much but they have a game plan and it IS taking them places whereas Moto seem to be relying on loyalty instead of innovation in a market where you have to have the next big thing or perish.
Look what happened to Siemen's Mobile division. Good phones, loads of initial innovation, then they chose to rest on their laurels and now it is no more.

motorola always be the most beautiful phone in the world, look at the ugly nokia classic series, and nokia n series that comes in bulky 6 packs. but one thing that let moto down is, the unfriendly interface but well, i am a frequent user of moto phones so it is okay. moto v8 really cool, but for us singapore, 3g video call is not necessary, cos the environment doesn't support it (eventhough we have the service). well in this razr2 series, moto has gone on diet for about half size of razr but well, nothing seems to change much. and touch screen on the front panel is a bad idea. bad, bad idea. i dunno why moto keeps this habit. i ahd one maxx v6 ferrari limited edition, and the front panel is damaged in no time. people, krzr is the best series, and razr well, they are best without the front panel display.

Motorola needs some new ideas! Changing the color and extending some features is not good enough.

That's cool...Motorola comes up with another stylish fone... a bit like a V3 clone but it still has got style. Now if Motorola would upgrade the software they can really make everyone happy. Why can't other companies make fones with the ease of use (User interface and OS) like that made by Nokia. Their fones may not be all that hot looking but they are definitely easy to use and feature rich. I wonder why all these companies stick to just one thing...
Motorola - looks, looks n looks
Samsung - Slimness, thinness
Sony Ericsson - Walkman, cybershot, music, sound
Nokia - Smart phones, feature rich.
When will a manufacturer combine all of them and come up with one divine phone ;)

Looking good,even thinner than V3,a bit heavier than others but it's suit me well(feel more solid),bigger outer screen and touch panel Medie player,hardly wait for it,hope the price tag is reasonable and hopefully it sounds better(better speaker quality) than V3&V3i so listening to music and ringtones are more enjoyable.Well done MOTO
