    the battery with a full charge ...Ross Eastough -- 02/05/08

    the battery with a full charge only lasts about 6 hours the charger is difficult to install if you are even slightly vision impared.inputs are difficult to get your head around after 15yrs with nokia

    The good: good big bright screen nice big buttons easy to connect 2 bluetooth

    The bad: difficult to protect for trade type use battery life should be double charger socket difficult to use nearly impossible to find a generic car charger to fit phone book difficult to load info into compared to nokia

    Phone is only a few months old ...Mel -- 14/10/08

    Phone is only a few months old and has already been for repair. Every time I want to send message there is predictive text - how do I turn this off permanently instead of having to do it every time I want to send a message?

    The good: Quite a good phone. Good sized screen.

    The bad: Hard to get used to after Nokia.

    almost on the verge of spectac ...cameron davies -- 05/02/09

    almost on the verge of spectacular, how the heel do you make a video call, I have to look in the mirror to see my screen, hopeless...

    The good: fantastic, put the wind up the rest its good to divert from Nokia they really have the name, but whats a name.

    The bad: missed calls how do you find them later on!alarm clock how the buggery arew you supposed to remember to set your alarm every single bloody night.!

    The back of my phone always co ...Melissa -- 02/03/09

    The back of my phone always comes off and now ive lost it where can i get a new one ive had the phone for 2 months and its been in for repair they didnt give me a a replacement to the back of my phone

    The good: Big screen and buttons i like the touch screen on the front screen

    The bad: the phone is hard to keep in good condition always gets dirty

    Keeps dropping out in the midd ...Nicole -- 14/03/09

    Keeps dropping out in the middle of calls. Touble with signal all the time it says searching... Off button at times will not work. I wish I had my nokia back :( don't think I would buy another Motorola again.

    The good: One of the only things I like are the big buttons when they work!

    The bad: Hate having to send 2 page messages all the time when they are not even long messages. All ways having touble with the signal.

    I got the same problem of Netw ...Fadi -- 14/04/09

    I got the same problem of Network searching When i get back at home. After inserting the same sim card(64k)into another phone the network bar is full but when i insert that sim in moto the network searching displayed continuously on the screen. I also clean out the antenna, sim board, and reset the setting as well but problem is still there

    The good: Stylish, incredible button & display, Great Call quality

    The bad: Networking searching still head ach, only 2.0Meg cam, Battery life is horrible.

The good:
  • Gorgeous, expansive external screen
  • Very fast interface
  • Even thinner than the original
The bad:
  • Menu organisation is illogical
  • Might be too wide for some
  • Low specs on the camera
The bottomline:

The RAZR2 is a pleasing sequel to the V3, and should invigorate interest in what is now a hallmark franchise for Motorola.

Editors’ rating:

8.2/10

RRP: TBA
