Review

Here is the revamp of the RAZR, thin clamshell, quad band, etched keyboard etc. It may be thin but it's quite wide and tall when opened. This does have advantages when it comes to the keyboard which is more tactile and very usable.

The most noticeable feature is the huge front screen, almost as big as the internal screen with the same colour depth of 256k. Very useful when reading text or using the music controls without having to open the flip.

Since we're on the subject of music the biggest drawback is often lack of memory, RAZR2 V8 has 512MB of which 420MB is available for user files. This is OK but not great compared to 2GB microSD of some phones.

The camera at 2 megapixels is reasonable. Used in conjunction with the front screen you can frame self portraits.

Overall a very good revamp, leading to much better usability.
