I recently purchased the Sprint Motorola V9m. The very first phone failed in a matter of days, so I was forced to pay $50 so my insurance would replace it. The RAZR 2 is by far the worst phone I have ever used, from any manufacture and any carrier. I have written a list of every problem I have run into with the phone. In my opinion, the RAZR 2 will never get all of the bugs out. And my loyalty for Motorola is 100% dead after throwing my money away on this phone. If you are thinking about buying the RAZR 2 for any carrier, please read this list first. You don't want to throw good money at a horrible product.1. Does not support any of Motorola Bluetooth headset and headphones
that I own. Even my new Moto stereo headphones that came out before the
RAZR 2 even came out, don't even work.
2. Daily White-Screen freeze errors.
3. Text input in third-party app's in annoying. the "1" key cycles
though characters that you will never use just to get to a period aor @
sign. the "0" key is used to cycle though the rest and again goes
though characters that you will rarely use just to get one you will use
a lot.
4. The touch-screen is way too sensitive. If you don't have a key-lock
set, you will find that the TV app will load in your pocket and turn to
a channel. Or it will just load the app and waste the already pathetic
battery life. Even if the key-lock is on, the vibrate feature will go
off so many times that when you goto use the phone, you will end up
having 1 bar, maybe 2.
5. Horrible battery life. Unlike the A900, Katana, and pretty much all
other slim-phones, the RAZR 2 gets really hot when using it. Heat means
wasted energy, thus making the battery life the worst I have ever seen.
If you are using bluetooth, and/or the TV app, or in an area with a
weak signal, battery life can be as low as 40 minutes.
6. The UI is SLOW! I mean as slow as slow can get. This gees to it's
full power of annoyance when you end up loading an application that you
didn't mean to, and closing it down takes 5 to 10 seconds to close
down. This will happen a lot, because the buttons are so close
together, that you will end up loading the music or TV app without even
trying. Scrolling through you content is horrible. Images take what
seems like months to switch to the next.
7. No real media player. You can not fast forward or rewind video
clips. So those days of watching movies and shows on your phone are
over. Unless you want to sit and watch it from the beginning.
8. You can not hear the volume when setting the level for the ringer,
alarm, ect. This most basic of features shows how low Moto has gee
when making phones.
9. The lower set of speaks has a groove where overtime it will cut into
your fingers when holding the phone to watch TV.
10. The inner display has the typical data and time features, but with
the RAZR 2 you can not get rid of the date. So if you have a cool
screen saver, you will see "00/00/000 Day" on the screen. So if you
have a cool pic of a Cele you are into, their face will be blocked.
11. The web browser is HTML, but it renders the site into pages. So a
normal sized site will be cut into many pages. Some sites are cut into
10+ pages. Unlike Opera mini which can render the entire page in one
window. You will be scrolling page to page just to see the content you
like.
12. Since the browser is HTML, WAP sites can't be loaded very well if
at all. So if you want to download a Java app through a WAP site, you
might not be able to at all.
13. Third party apps can easily cause the phone to lock-up. Basic app's
that load on even the most simple phone will cause the phone to lock in
a white screen and you will have to pull the battery to get out.
14. Alarm doesn't always go off. This has happen to me a lot.
15. When you use the speaker-phone or use the speakers with Telenav,
the sound quality is horrible. On the other end my friends make me
repeat what I am saying. The speaker-phone has been known in the past
to be one of the best features found in Moto phones; this is not the
case with the V9m.
16. Buttons on the side are tiny. With a plastic snap-on case they are
very difficult to press.
17. The phone doesn't even have a headphone port. So you can not use it
as a portable music player without playing the content through the
speakers, or a Bluetooth headset, which most likely will not work.
18. You can not set images from your memory card to display as
wallpaper.
19. Music playback is dependent on using Sprint's Music Player, which
crashes a lot.
20. The Music Player no longer works, so I can't even use the phone as
an MP3 player.
