Product Review: The Motorola RAZR

The RAZR by Motorola is one of the better cell phones on the market right now. The RAZR is very diverse so that any cell phone user could operate the phone efficiently. The Motorola RAZR comes in a wide variety of colors that will suit anyone's need. Some of the colors are: pink, silver, green, red, black, gold, and virtually every other color in between. Besides having every color under the rainbow to choose from, the phone is also very light-weight and thin. On average the typical RAZR only weighs around 95 grams and holds the dimensions of 13.9 x 55 x 98 millimeters. In other words, it about as long as a credit card and weighs less than a can of soda, yet is not to skinny to have to fumble with opening and typical operations.

The RAZR is also packed with features such as a 4x digital zoom camera for capturing pictures and short film. The buttons are rather self explanatory when operating both functions and the camera also allows you to close the phone and snap a picture of yourself. As a matter of fact, while taking a photo of yourself, the phone allows you to see your own image on the front display screen so you know you aren't just getting the top of your head.

Some of the other functions of the phone include the ability to play real music and not just MIDI files. With a built in browser that is set to the Verizon "store" you can actually shop for music and download it directly to your phone, with a fee of course. You then have the option of selecting various songs as ringtones, and you can even set a specific ringtone for each person in your contact list. What I really enjoyed about this function as well as the picture function was setting a specialized ringtone and picture for each person in my contact list. This way, when your husband/wife, friend, or mother/father calls you, you not only know by the ringtone assigned but you also will see their photo or whatever picture you selected for their contact file.

The phone is also loaded with tons of other features such as various screen savers and wallpaper. Plus for those of you that enjoy using the Bluetooth headsets, the RAZR also comes with Bluetooth technology. The RAZR also has various other technical abilities such as browser function, text messaging, MPEG4 video playback, voice dialing recognition for your contact list, and the typical phone functions of alarm, calculator, notepad, calendar, and world clock.

Basically the phone is highly functional for all cell phone user levels. The screen display is large and bright, the keys and buttons are very easy to understand and use. The Motorola RAZR is also sold by numerous wireless companies, so you if you like the phone you are not locked into one certain carrier. Over all, the RAZR has been one of the best phones I have owned and I would definitely buy another one in the future. Even though it is not as high-tech as the IPhone and the Blackberry, I find that the Motorola RAZR is a nice comfortable fit for a more wide range of cell phone customers.
