The Razr is so overated. From my limited research anything Nokia is better than a Razr and I love my Sony Ericsson W600i. Its worlds better than my wife's Razr.

Not bad...

Nice. Looks to be about the same height as the current RAZR but solves the problem with the RAZR being so wide. Something to look forward to.

Am I the only one that likes the Razr? I spent $50 and got a phone that I can throw against the wall and barely scratch and I cant tell when its in my pocket.

The 6.9mm one is already being sold in Russia I think and can be found on ebay. The slider one looks VERY impressive.

I donno about the non-gsm motos... but the GSM ones don't compare to Nokias in terms of signal strength. I can make calls on my nokia where I couldn't on my motorola on t-mobile.

I also bought my first one when they first came out for $500 bucks and boy did I think I was the shit because nobody else had one!
Now they are older and a hella lot cheaper and everyone & their mama has one!
I have to admit I was impessed with it at first but now with all the technology thats come out..not even worth $100 IMO..
I had a Palm Treo 650 and my lil boy ended up throwing it into the pool! So I am back with the razor..
The one I have now is the bright magenta pink one that T*Mobile has out and I paid $49.00 for it..
I know there is better out there but for now Im stuck with this thing..

I have gone through 2 razr's already (damn defects) but I still say it is hard to beat at $50. Now if I had spent $500 I would be right up there with you haters because it isn't worth anything close to that.

I saw a bunch of girls with those lg 9800's and that looks HOT and my buddy sent me pictures from his Sony which look like they are from a real camera so im thinking my brand new phone is a little dated already

Other than size, any phone is really an upgrade from the razr.
