A year after the free of the RAZR, Motorola was eager on getting out an inform to the phone. Since then, Motorola has undergone many changes; the RAZR built the lost market location of the company. The RAZR is no longer just a phone from the Motorola stable — it’s a brand by itself. With the entire changes occurrence in the company, the rollout of the RAZR2 wasn’t going to be easy. The company had to make sure that the brand make progress and not regress. Two years accepted, and finally the companionship was all set to launch the all-new RAZR2. The company launched RAZR2 after watchfully molding it, taking into thought all the feedback from its RAZR customers and experts. But have Motorola’s efforts paid off? Or will it be that the RAZR won’t give way the floor to the RAZR2?
The phone has great build quality. The RAZR2 may look like a sleek phone, but it also gives you the feeling of being sturdy. It weighs 117 grams — even though it’s thinner than the original RAZR. The RAZR2 has a full gloss face. It’s a fingerprint magnet but adds to the aura of the phone’s beauty. Under the glass in the center is a large screen jacket almost the entire face of the phone. It’s a 2″ outside screen — which single would want on any phone even for a default screen. Out of spectacle beneath the beaker are the camera and the Motorola logo. Now for info and so that you don’t think of the handset as a delicate darling: the glass is hard-bitten to get away from most scratches and even survive minor falls.
The left side of the phone has the volume control and the select button, which doubles as the camera hotkey with the flap open. The micro USB port of the phone is also on this side and is covered with a good quality dust cover. The right side of the phone has a long button for voice commands. All the 3 buttons have a brushed metal come to an end. The pivot of the phone is also made of metal bonus has a high excellence spring. It opens beautiful well, no matter how hard you force it. On the hinge, toward the right side of the phone is the lanyard hook.
The RAZR2 is always going to be all about style. But Motorola begs to differ by offering more than just a super model: the phone has a decent set of multimedia features like music and video playback, as well as a camera.
Camera
The camera of the RAZR2 is 2MP with a max capture resolution of 1600×1200 pixels. It offers standard options of image capture with all the bare necessary options other than a flash. The camera quality is decent. Capture images with decent amounts of lighting, and the results will be good. So don’t try clicking images of your partner at a (dimly lit) club: the image will be sheer junk.
The camera also records video in QCIF resolution — which is rather poor. The phone has two screens, both of 240×320-pixel resolution, and it records video at 174 x 220 pixels. Overall, the camera is fine more so for its still picture capture.
Music Player
The RAZR2 has an awesome music player. You can operate it from the external screen as well. It shows album art in the background and details of the artist, song, and album in the fore. The phone has 3 touch-sensitive portions on the external screen: Reverse, Play/Pause, and Forward. No need to worry about accidental touches — you can lock all the external buttons.
The player has decent options like Bass and Treble to get the best out of your music. The standard headsets are just average — though I must say they’re much better than the headsets provided with other Motorola offerings. Nevertheless, better headphones would deliver better sound quality, which the phone is surely capable of giving.
Interface
The Motorola RAZR2 is way advanced compared to the original RAZR. The latter has a sloppy interface, which was a major diversion for the people switching from other mobile brands or for those who look for more in a phone than just making-n-receiving calls. The RAZR2 v8 doesn’t t disappoints. It can draw back those customers with its all-new Linux-Java interface. The company claims that the RAZR2 is 10 xs faster than the RAZR. I believe that, but that doesn’t make it faster than handsets from other brands; this upgrade has just leveled the playing field for Motorola. The gemstone at the back this is the RAZR2’s ARM 11 processor. The phone has 420MB of internal memory with no growth available. But there are 3 packages of the RAZR2 — and the premium package offers an interior memory of 2GB. Anyway, even the 420 MB seems enough for storing some audio and other files.
The interface of the RAZR2 provides complete ease of use — even a novice can navigate the phone without much effort. You can see the same interface in Motorola’s ROKR Z6. I especially liked the messaging features of the RAZR2. You can open, read, delete, and even reply to a message from the external screen — though the answer can be a predefined or custom template. The RAZR2 vibes to the press of its external buttons. Nice feature, but a battery drainer.
Just as in most phones, the RAZR2 has a standby clock, which shows on the external screen. The phone has 1,000 phonebook contacts with photocell, and 10 call logs each for dialed, received, and missed calls. The rest of the border is easy to use. Motorola states that you can navigate to anything in the phone in just 3 presses. I wouldn’t agree completely, but the phone is smooth.
Connectivity
The RAZR2 provides maximum connectivity for most of the options one looks for. Other mobile manufacturers seem to give a couple of connectivity options a blind look. This Motorola misses an Infrared port — though it’s not a major deficiency. The phone has GPRS Class 10, which will provide you speed of up to 48kbps — provided your service provider can offer it. Else, there’s EDGE Class 12 to make the best of what your service supplier has to offer.
The Bluetooth 2.0 of this phone is A2DP compliant and is blazing fast. I transferred data between various other devices, mobile phones, and even laptops. The transfer speed always surprised me. Even though the phone misses a card-slot, I was satisfied with the microUSB 2.0 interface: it hardly took time to fill-up the 420MB of the phone. Just about a couple of seconds to transfer an average sized audio file.
Battery
The RAZR2 is bundled with a 770 mAh battery. Now, the phone has 2 screens — both of which are pretty large and seem the main reason for the battery drain. The phone lasts just a little over a day and a half. Though the company specifies a talktime of almost 8 hours, I don’t see that happening. The phone delivers just about 3-4 hours of talktime with reduced brightness of the screen. With the brightness set to max, the phone wouldn’t last even a day. Add to this the vibe feature on the press of any of the external buttons; the battery has no option but to lose charge quickly.
The easy way to save battery is by reading messages and using the phone through the external screen to whatever are its limits. But the RAZR2 is all about Style, and hence you’re going to even beg to get the opportunity to flip it open. Guess poor battery life is a dear price to pay for the style statement you make. Nonetheless, this will hardly put a dent in the sales figures of the RAZR2.
The Motorola RAZR2 V8 comes at a price of Rs.16,500 with a 1-year warranty. The phone is a beauty. It also has a greatly improved interface, which can compare to any of the advanced interfaces from other mobile manufactures. The phone has “flaunt me” written all over it. It’s completely worth that dough.
