Motorola – MOTORAZR2 V9
Motorola made its new RAZR2 V9 profile even sharper, shaving 2mm from the original RAZR. Greatly enhanced dual screens give consumers the largest-in-its class 2.0” external screen for crisp picture caller ID3 and a 2.2” internal screen with twice the resolution of the original RAZR. With the new ARM 11 processor, processing speed is 10 times faster and with high-speed USB 2.0 it only takes a few seconds to transfer a song. Motorola’s innovative CrystalTalk technology automatically adjusts audio to ensure clear calls even in a noisy environment. With up to 2GB of memory, the new RAZR2 V9 has enough storage for approximately 1,000 songs. Music can be downloaded over the air at near-broadband-like wireless data speeds. The external display incorporates Motorola’s breakthrough 'haptics' technology, which provides users with vibrating feedback in response to their finger taps.

===============================================
@PGij
just one question for you though regarding the v9.. is the OS of this phone similar/the same as the one from the first razrs? the v3i, v3x etc? or did they improve the OS and fixed the interface a little? thanks
===============================================
I agree with you. My suggestion is read from CNET Review about "Motorola Razr 2 V9" or if you can't find the answer what you ask so try to find using search engine. I am not the owner of "Motorola Razr 2 V9" but i try to answer your question. What i know is the interface is different with Motorola V3, V3i, V3X and other before Motorola Razr 2 V9.
I think "Motorola Razr 2 V9" has more features in external screen than "Motorola Razr 2 V8".
CNET Product summary "Motorola Razr 2 V9".
The good: The Motorola Razr2 V9 is a fabulous-looking phone clad in steel and glass. It has HSDPA support plus a 2-megapixel camera, a music player, and good sound quality and battery life.
The bad: The Motorola Razr2 V9 has skinny side buttons and a rather flat keypad. We also wished there were one-push access to the music player plus one for the speakerphone.
The bottom line: The Motorola Razr2 V9 is a great successor to the first Razr. Despite a few quibbles, it has an eye-catching design, solid performance, and an impressive feature set.

Features
Even when it comes to features, the Razr2s are quite similar with one another. However, there are slight differences that are specific to the different carriers. But first, the basics. The Razr2 V9 comes with an impressive 1,000-entry phone book with room in each entry for six different numbers and two e-mail addresses. You can save the callers to groups, pair them with a photo for caller ID, and assign 1 of 15 polyphonic ringtones. You can also set different vibrating patterns, plus use MP3s as ringtones. Other basic features include a vibrate mode, a calculator, an alarm clock, and a world clock. On the more advanced side, there's also text and multimedia messaging, a speakerphone, a voice recorder, voice command and dialing, instant messaging, e-mail, a wireless Web browser, and full-featured Bluetooth. The Razr2 V9 supports Bluetooth file transfer, plus stereo Bluetooth as well.
As a HSDPA phone, the Razr2 V9 is one of the fastest GSM Razrs out there, able to support download speeds of up to 1.8Mbps. Therefore, it's able to support AT&T's broadband services like Cellular Video and AT&T Music. The Cellular Video network gives AT&T users access to streaming video clips from channels like CNN, Comedy Central, and Cartoon Network. AT&T Music, on the other hand, acts as a kind of all-encompassing music portal for streaming music from XM Radio, plus you get access to all the major music subscription services like Napster, Yahoo Music, and even eMusic. The AT&T Music portal also includes a song-identifying service called MusicID, streaming music videos, a community of music lovers called MobiRadio, and the Billboard Music Channel. You can read more about AT&T's video and music services in our reviews.
The AT&T Music portal also includes a shortcut to the Razr2 V9's music player. The music player supports MP3s, AACs, and WMAs, plus has a repeat and shuffle mode, a spatial audio setting, and a bass boost setting. As we mentioned, when the music player is activated, the music player controls appear on the bottom row of the external screen. The music player interface is fairly generic, with the typical play/pause and track shuttle controls, and it displays the song title and artist name. Songs are organized by artist, album, genre, or composer. You can also create different playlists for your favorite songs.
The Razr2 V9 took impressive photos.
The Razr2 V9 also comes with an excellent 2-megapixel camera that takes pictures in four resolutions (1,600x200, 1,280x960, 640x480, 320x240) and three quality settings. Other camera settings include self-timer, a free-memory space indicator, five shutter sounds with a silent option, six lighting options, seven color styles, five exposure settings, and up to 8x zoom. Unfortunately there's no flash, but thankfully there's a night mode for better lowlight shots. Picture quality was very impressive; images were nice and sharp, with accurate lighting. There's also a built-in camcorder with three video quality settings, two video lengths (one for multimedia messages and another for as much memory is available), and similar settings to the still camera. Thankfully, there's that microSD card slot to accommodate all your media files.
There are a slew of personalization and customization options with the Razr2 V9. Along with a collection of cool wallpaper and screensavers, you can download more graphics and ringtones from the AT&T site via the MediaNet browser. Games on the phone include Bowling3D, Diner Dash, and demo versions of JewelQuest, Lumines, Midnight Pool, MiniGolfLasVegas, and Scrabble Blast. A few other applications are also included, like MobiTV, My-Cast 5 Weather forecast, and MySpace Mobile. You can purchase and download more games and applications via AT&T's MediaNet as well.
Performance
We tested the quad-band Motorola Razr2 V9 (GSM 850/900/1800/1900) in San Francisco using AT&T's service. We were very impressed with the overall call quality, with natural sounding voices and little to no static. There was a slight echo and audio could be a little bit better with speakerphone calls, but it wasn't that bad. Callers could hear us loud and clear, though they did say that they hear the occasional hiss and pop. We managed to pair our phone with the BlueAnt Z9 Bluetooth headset, and calls made with the Bluetooth headset sounded pretty good as well.
The HSDPA speed on the Razr2 V9 was quite impressive. This was definitely evident in its ability to stream video via AT&T's Cellular Video broadband service. It took us only a few seconds to load up a video, with very little buffering time at the beginning, and no rebuffering at all during the video playback. Video quality was a little blurry, but for a camera phone it's pretty good. Music quality was good, too. The phone's speakers sometimes resulted in a rather tinny and muffled sound, but the music quality was far improved when heard over a headset.
The Motorola Razr2 V9 has a rated battery life of 3.6 hours of talk time and 12 days of standby time. Our tested talk time went a little over, at around 4 hours and 59 minutes. According to FCC radiation tests, the Razr2 V9 has a digital SAR rating of 0.32 watts per kilogram.

@UipP
remember me from before? well, just want to say thank you for constantly answering all the questions here regarding the 2 razrs. it's really appreciated. just a tip though.. just ignore the dude.. you've done a terrific job helping people who plan on purchasing this phone decide whether to buy it or not.. he's not worth your time and effort.. no need to stoop down to his level.. his english is not only bad, it doesn't even make sense.. so why waste time?
just one question for you though regarding the v9.. is the OS of this phone similar/the same as the one from the first razrs? the v3i, v3x etc? or did they improve the OS and fixed the interface a little? thanks
