I like DROID RAZR more than Galaxy Nexus... it is definitely on my next phone list, especially if part their ways... just because I`m almost 100% sure Sony will disappoint me. I hope I`m wrong but first my love of became from and second - looking at Sony last couple of years in other departments I see no bright future, because they are slow in everything.

So the king is dead, long live the Googorola!


That is my sentiment exactly! I will wait for Sony to prove me wrong but for now this is officially my next phone. The fact that Google owns Moto has actually made me a little comfortable with them and hopeful that Moto will be better or as good as SE in software optimization.

The only thing that would stop me from getting this is a poor review from Gsmarena, I really hope it is a great review.

I just remembered one thing that could put me off this phone even after excellent reviews- the terrible Motoblur skin!

I hate that skin with a passion! For me, there are only two wonderful Android skins, ie, Sense and Timescape. I hope Moto hasn't included that rubbish on this perfect phone for my needs.

Turns out this sexy beast has the useless and pathetic Motoblur.

I am probably going to regret it but I am getting it nontheless. I just love this phone for what it offers.

I am now waiting for Gsmarena to review it and hopefully it is as good as the specs suggest.

No, unfortunately you can't. It is similar to the likes of SE and HTC, it is their 'differentiation' in Android. As I wrote, I find that HTC and SE make better use of the skins than the rest.

I suppose I will have to bear and grin it in the case of the Razr. There just isn't any phone like it at the moment, I place great importance in build quality and call quality and I know Moto will never disappoint me in those areas.

I also read a preview over at Techradar and it seems like a very good performer this Razr. So far, I am loving it and can't wait to get it.

Yes i am fussy about call quality too. Many years ago i was given Star Letter about it in What Mobile and it won me a w595. Anyway i an sure they have improved it in this device and with better processor too it should not slow you down

Hands on

If you say that Razr is not the thinnest phone, maybe you should calculate the average thickness? Taking into account that around 15% of the phone is 10.8mm and 85% is 7.1 it means that overall the phone is 7.655mm and still the thinnest phone!!!

Even if 20% of the phone was 10.8mm then we would have the average thickness of 7.84mm and still the thinnest smartphone.

Now let's assume 10.8 measurement takes 25% of the body and we get the average tickness of 8.025mm and still we have the Razr as the thinnest smartphone.

But who cares about averages? Will your averaged out RAZR fit into an 8.025mm gap? No, because it's 10.8mm thick.

Sure, but 85% of the device will still be 7.1mm!

Yes, but it's 10.8mm at it's thickest point. Saying it's 7.1mm is like measuring the wheelbase of a car from the start of the front wheel and the end of the rear wheel (whereas the wheelbase is from the centre of both).

Cool bro. If you want to think that way, go ahead.
