Why is everyone so hyped about the razr? I's really a quite primitive phone, especially when compared to other phones in it's price range. Not to mention it's been out for a long time and it's pretty old.

Anyone know what's up with the lawsuit anyway? A buddy of mine and I both have had major problems with the V710. We recently made a big scene at the store because of this stupid phone. I've had my phone replaced "by verizon" 3 times because the battery port would keep going bad on me where it couldn't even hold a charge. However, verizons quick fix was to replace it with a REFURBISHED phone of the SAME model. Go figure!!!
I have a bunch of friends who have Cingulars Razr and they love it. The phone definitely looks hot especially compared to the other phones verizon carries..
Tupees!!!

The lawsuit is only for bluetooth. It does not cover other problems liek you are describing. You can probably convince them to give you credit towards another phone.

I have had the same problem (battery port) with the 710 three times. Verizon said if it happened again that they would replace the phone with a different model. I heard from a Best Buy salesman that the price of the Razr should only be around $100 with activation. I guess this is to compete with Cingular's pricing. I have not heard of any problems with the Razr. Has anyone heard of any problems people are experiencing with the phone on Cingular?

I hate it, and I should point out that the razr is going to cost $499.99 with a 2 year contract, $549.99 with a 1 year contract and I believe $600 for no contract.

I just got a new phone from VZW and considered holding off for the razr. Other than being slimmer, I couldn't see any reason to get it. Ok, it looks cool but I'm hard on phones and it looks to be more fragile. Considering cost and functionality (not looks) I went with the E815 and don't think I'll regret it. After all, I'm talking on it not looking to make a fashion statement.

i just broke my phone and am up for an upgrade and have been waiting for the Razr. The pricing has been all over the place and until they announce something definite I tend to think the 500 with a 2 year price is incorrect.
If anything, I'd have no prob going with the E815 like Shark did. It does look sturdier and i do abuse my phones.

I have the Razr from Cingular. It works great in my 05 TL. I fell in love with the Bluetooth capabilities and the phone n=was no more than other decent phones. I refuse to sign up for more than a year with any cell service so I paid more for the phone but even at $249.00 I am very happy with it. It is so light that I never feel it in my pocket. It's a great phone and works great in your TL!

At $250 I see the VZW razr doing well.
IMO, it will launch at $500 with 2 year contract; however, give it a couple months and after all the hype is over with - it will drop in price - exactly like it was with cingular.

Well, I checked on Howardforums and now everyone is once again speculating on the next release date. On the Verizon Site, it now does say the phone is coming soon. Maybe in a week?

thats why you pay the $6/month for insurance on it

Insurance doesn't mean much when they might just give you a refurb for the broken one...
