"finally.... a pretty phone that just WORKS"
Pros: design, feel, bluetooth ease, much less lag than other motos
Cons: battery life (sorta), micro-usb, afraid to drop it :)
Summary: here's what i've come from in the last year
samsung a900 -> treo 700wx -> HTC Mogul -> RAZR2
this is by far the best of the 4. with my recent experiences with windows mobile and vista, i'm being driven entirely away from microsoft. it's 2007, and phones should not have to be reset 3 times a day and they should work flawlessly with bluetooth!
i really wanted to like this phone, and i'm so glad to say that i love it! you can't beat it's form and the materials used. it has a steel internal frame that gives a little vibration every time you open or close it. i love it! both screens are gorgeous, and the vibration feedback from the external buttons is great, it vibrates when you hit ANY external button, not just the buttons on the touch screen (useful for changing volume).
this is the most solid phone i've ever held. the hinge is like a rock.
applications take a moment to load, but they are good as well (music player / tv / email).
i was surprised to see it supports push email from pop accounts like gmail (sprint email is a free download). it's not the best, but for a great phone, it's nice to have the option.
bluetooth is sweet... i have the h800 (slider) and it links immediately when i open it (as motorola is known for). not the best sound quality (h800), but i love the integration with the phone.
the move to micro-usb is annoying, but an adapter is pretty cheap.
the battery life is decent... with moderate use you can make it all day w/o charging.
this is a great phone, especially if you are like me and weary of smartphones that just don't work.
i would buy this phone for a family member
