“The Motorola RAZR2 V9x has lost much of the appeal of the original RAZR brand, in that it isn’t very thin or sleek. In fact, these days it seems like a wide, bulky phone, but all that width and heft helps drive the two great screens, the bright and colorful internal display and the surprisingly large and useful external screen. Overall, there may not be much clout left in the RAZR name, but that doesn’t keep the Motorola RAZR2 V9x from being a very nice multimedia phone. Call quality was very good, much better than most phones in this class, and the phone also packs a nice range of 3G features, including a capable Web browser from Opera and GPS navigation. The Motorola RAZR2 is a nice choice for folks who want plenty of features on a phone that isn’t too smart. For these folks, the RAZR2 may be a shadow of its former self, but it’s still a phone that might just turn a few heads.” [InfoSync World | Motorola RAZR2 V9x review (AT&T)]
