Well part of it is that I have the A700, but I've seen the RAZR and:

My screens look better.
Phone looks better (stupid box on bottom of phone).
My camera takes better looking pics.
More features on my phone.

The only thing the RAZR has going is the metal body. Else it's not that special.

I understand the bias, but I REALLY don't think the A700 looks better than the RAZR

Thats not a phone, it's a mini-laptop. Def slick, but no way I'd haul that around. Might as well wear a hat with "AVClub" on it.

If only they didn't have that stupid part on the bottom the RAZR would look great, but it's the only way they could make it that thin.

Either way, it's still a great phone. There is a certain pimp factor to the shiney body of it.

Yeah, the bottom part is kinda clunky compaired to the rest of the phone. A700 is a good phone. I guess it just isn't quite up to par as far as "t3h bling factor" is concerned. Superficial yes....I know....

Sprint is CDMA, not GSM

T-Mobile/CINGULAR - GSM (SIM CARD USE)

SPRINT/VERIZON - CDMA

That review sucked. It was a bunch of pics from a non-tech person and a hot girl.
battery life sounded like it wasnt that great. He was excited about 3d games, and the phone was capable of it. My old 4900 sanyo played 3d games, just has to have enough CPU power.

Good pics, but the review sucked... I'd still go check one out before deciding to buy one.

I doubt that guy had any clue of how to measure RF performance on the phone SNR, RF drift, or even something simple like dropped calls. I didn't see charts on any of that stuff...

Unless sprint does something soon, they are going to fall behind quick on phones...


Sprint was once the tech leader for phones, but that time has come and gone as far as I can see...
