Thanks Michael, I really like your laid-back and factual presentation style. Particularly the excellent walkabout of the main features, shown as one would use the phone in the real world. 10/10. PS There are hundreds of boring unboxing and pointless benchmark videos out there... Michael does his own thing, it's different and very, very good.
You all probably dont give a shit but does someone know a way to get back into an instagram account?? I somehow lost the password. I would love any tricks you can offer me.
@Anderson Jude Thanks for your reply. I found the site thru google and Im trying it out now. Seems to take quite some time so I will reply here later with my results.
Hi. Great review as usual! During your camera review, i noticed that the geotag reflected the location of Middletown, Pa. I'm from Middletown and was quite excited to see
I have been using iPhone since iPhone 3 and now iPhone 4. I must say that I am truly impressed by this Motorola Razr. It looks so slick and think. I remember watching its ad on TV; it makes me associate it with alien technology, fast, sharp, and one of a kind. It does deliver. If I didn't have an iPhone 4, I'd definitely sign up for this phone and Verizon's service.
this was my favorite phone i ever owned. i have been holding on to an old blackberry since mine broke and been waiting forever for another motorola flagship.
I'm surprised you didn't say whether or not that hole on the back is for hard reset. With no battery removal option a hard reset option is a must. Also, no benchmark? A 14 minute review without a single benchmark.
it actually can be removed. most ppl think it cant be but i did. uses 2 star-bit screws which i bought off ebay including the eb20 battery. screws were about $5 battery $25. everything you could want or need is always on ebay if you know what your looking for :)
im torn between this phone and htc rezound. i would like to access my itunes thru my phone..is this possible by either of those phones without having to go to the iphone?
Does anyone knew how to unlock a phone because I don't know if I want to buy a Droid raze off my friend but I don't know how to unlock it so I can use it for at&t?
Respond to this video... hi..great review...however this entire raging debate of the pentile is really bothering me...some websites have a screenshots of the pixels being clearly seen of the text...did you see any such jagged edges of texts..especially of white text before a black background...?
I myself would rather NOT Read the info and specks, For me I appreciate the view the step by step direction. This will be my first smartphone , and I understand showing me vs actual reading. Thanks for the review.
@tdawgsmitty Probably because the video didnt take 15 minutes to record. Takes time to make these reviews and if you watch, there are several cuts throughout the entire video.
@OkanziEdits Again, you are thinking of the wrong xperia, The Xperia S camera is god damn amazing and it films in 1080p. Anyway, I didn't know about the Razr's capacity of overclocking to 1.6ghz. Either way, do you have the razr? If you do, can you tell me if the camera is really good?
I'm deciding between this phone the iPhone 4s the galaxy nexus and the HTC rezound which I think comes out the 14 and the specs look really good and I like HTC phones better than any other Android phones so Idk which one I should get ! Someone help ?
Honestly I was reallllyyyyy hoping for a giant negative about this phone to make the decision easier between this and Nexus...like every time I showed something I was like "say it sucks say it sucks"...alas, nope...such an awesome looking phone.
@lacretecalvin1000 I agree, people don't realize that once a phone gets to a certain thinness it's just not comfy to hold any longer. I had an international sgs2 and an infuse but got rid of both because they were too thin for me.
@cKlutcHJ21 I never thought I would be going back to Motorola either, but here I am. This phone is an engineering marvel, and functional enough to live up to its hype.
@skymitch89 Nothing in the box, and I was short on time. Verizon had it delivered on Saturday, and I was out all day. That left Sunday, and I'm married and have a son. A 9 a.m. embargo time is cutting it way tight.
They put the charger port on the TOP of the phone!!! Are they insane. It didnt work with the Samsung Epic its not going to work now. Using your phone as GPS device in the car...dont think about it as the cord will always get your you way. Forget using it as a GPS charging it period on a mount is super annoying with the charge port being on the top. You will eventually bend the port and need a replacement or bend the cords conector and need a replacement. ITs a bad phone to buy.
@zane14ification Dude, I just went through that same debate. I just got my Razr, and I'm loving it so far. Very fast and smooth, Huge screen, and ultra light. If you have smaller hands, I don't recommend it because of it's size. Other then that, I'd so go with the Razr. Don't be afraid to play with the phones as well, I did that for about 10 minutes each. Good luck.
@mikeyiscoolable That is a camera white balance issue. There is no yellow tint on the screen.

10/10.

@Anderson Jude It worked and I finally got access to my account again. I'm so happy!
Thanks so much you saved my account!
@Kamdyn Avi Happy to help xD

Great review, im glad you showed some of the features. Keep up the great work.

i can't wait until i get my Droid Razr next week. so excited!!!!
It sucks that the universal inbox refreshes everytime you click it. Or it should be alot faster.
this was my favorite phone i ever owned. i have been holding on to an old blackberry since mine broke and been waiting forever for another motorola flagship.
How in the world do i get my screen to stop rotating when im trying to watch youtube it goes back everytime i love this razr but any help?
Has the issue of reduced battery life been addressed in later models, or maybe for those upgraded to ICS?
I'm surprised you didn't say whether or not that hole on the back is for hard reset. With no battery removal option a hard reset option is a must. Also, no benchmark? A 14 minute review without a single benchmark.

what happens if you take out the SIM card while its on?
how do we replace the battery if need be? Is this the same as the razr maxx? thanks
im torn between this phone and htc rezound. i would like to access my itunes thru my phone..is this possible by either of those phones without having to go to the iphone?
@mobileburn is it has any notification led light??????????
im really confused, because on engadgets site the razrs screen looks yellowish yet here it looks great D:
Anudder Mann. Classic. Nice Review as always.
How does this thing feel in the pocket? Feel clunky while sitting down, driving, being active?
@oblivrulz it's a dual core 1.2, only htc made a phone with 1.5, but it is a single core
I'm getting it tomorrow, please tell me what is bad, about it.
if my 4g connection sucks here is there any reason to buy this phone?
doe sth efront facing camera really shoot 720 p? can u do a sample
How was lunch with Jack Black?
Hey....what is the app you are using for the music player to play music from your pc?
Does anyone knew how to unlock a phone because I don't know if I want to buy a Droid raze off my friend but I don't know how to unlock it so I can use it for at&t?
what would you recommend the iPhone 4s or the Droid RAZR?
Should I get the razr or the Rezound? I'm really stuck. Please help.
@mobileburn what if i use it without 4g.. just gsm, will the battery last much longer??
Respond to this video... hi..great review...however this entire raging debate of the pentile is really bothering me...some websites have a screenshots of the pixels being clearly seen of the text...did you see any such jagged edges of texts..especially of white text before a black background...?
@FilSan86 It's not pentile. It's AMOLED.
please respond i am 12 year old male should i get the iphone4 or droid razr
Which one is better? Sony Xperia S or this one?
Alguien save como lo puedo usar si no sirve la entrada de tarjeta sim
got this for yesterday, what are some cool APPS for this phone? help please
I myself would rather NOT Read the info and specks, For me I appreciate the view the step by step direction. This will be my first smartphone , and I understand showing me vs actual reading. Thanks for the review.
My bionic has all the same features basically for the exception of design and waterproofing. The black keyboard looks cool as hell though.
@fitzyduck23 Do you know that this phone is a penny at amazon wireless right now w/ a 2 year contract?
is the display better than SG2?
@tdawgsmitty Probably because the video didnt take 15 minutes to record. Takes time to make these reviews and if you watch, there are several cuts throughout the entire video.
This phone looks solid which lack in most smartphones these days. I wud invest in this phone.
@OkanziEdits Again, you are thinking of the wrong xperia, The Xperia S camera is god damn amazing and it films in 1080p. Anyway, I didn't know about the Razr's capacity of overclocking to 1.6ghz.
Either way, do you have the razr? If you do, can you tell me if the camera is really good?
when i first saw the commercial 4 this i so wanted this
does it use gsm
I'm not an android fanboy or anything but GOD, why'd I get the 4s?
@prot8to It's a microphone.
why is it on 3g
you are my favorite reviewer :)
what sottware are using?
Hi. Are you from Middletown, Pa?
how do you put music in this phone? first smart phone i get haha help please
Is it worth it??
I'm deciding between this phone the iPhone 4s the galaxy nexus and the HTC rezound which I think comes out the 14 and the specs look really good and I like HTC phones better than any other Android phones so Idk which one I should get ! Someone help ?
it looks like motorola took some features from ics and implemented them first here
Getting mine tomorrow :)
Honestly I was reallllyyyyy hoping for a giant negative about this phone to make the decision easier between this and Nexus...like every time I showed something I was like "say it sucks say it sucks"...alas, nope...such an awesome looking phone.
gosms or handcent
ethernet?
i was gonna get it but i stayed with iphone 4s cause of the 64gn memory plus im having it unlocked for when i go over seas
does this phone upload good youtube videos?
@mikeyiscoolable yes it does unless U like amoled over HD displays.. better 1.5ghz dual core too.
@jayzg60 for the lapdock
@BlackpowderKF Well, amazon wireless is selling for a penny.
Oh man, it was supposed to be 720p display not qHD -_-
so dope how turning off the display is like a tv shutting off....SO dope
a lot of the info in this video is inaccurate. memory and resolution are better than reported.
@lacretecalvin1000 I agree, people don't realize that once a phone gets to a certain thinness it's just not comfy to hold any longer. I had an international sgs2 and an infuse but got rid of both because they were too thin for me.
Droid Razr Or Droid 4
Wow. Best Android phone I've seen.
@mikeyiscoolable I agree. And to top it all, he comapre it with another phone and that has NO yellow tint...hmm..this is interesting...
When is apple gonna be in 4g!!!!??
DIlemma... Motorola Droid Razr or The new SONY Xperia S ?!?
@ArmedEqualizer they all look practically the same. wtf are you hoping phones to look like nowadays?
I NEED THIS!!!
@lacretecalvin1000 lol it doesnt have better specs, unless you prefer lcd screens over amoleds
@cKlutcHJ21 I never thought I would be going back to Motorola either, but here I am.
This phone is an engineering marvel, and functional enough to live up to its hype.
The pinch to zoom and zoom out in the Gallary picture are very pathetic...Sucksss......( from 13:40 )
This will be my next phone
Well thanks a lot for that info. One thing I hate is a phone with bad battery life.
I agree with @msudip its cool though. Really need that ICS
@skymitch89 Nothing in the box, and I was short on time. Verizon had it delivered on Saturday, and I was out all day. That left Sunday, and I'm married and have a son. A 9 a.m. embargo time is cutting it way tight.
The RAZR is an awesome phone.
The time-squashed intro is flickering...
The commerical says "something big is coming" if this is it, im not impressed. Motorola and touch wiz arent good UI's
This phone was so much better on gingerbread. The ICS update ruined it.
MOTO DRIOID FTW!!!
Good days when phones had hdmi ports
@sederick80 If the whole purpose of getting this phone is to use for GPS then it is a bad phone. Otherwise, it is not.
woww this guys sounds smartt
This phone is bad ASS!!! No waiting to see some reviews on the Nexus before I make a decision..
They put the charger port on the TOP of the phone!!! Are they insane. It didnt work with the Samsung Epic its not going to work now. Using your phone as GPS device in the car...dont think about it as the cord will always get your you way.

Seems like a sweet device, but I'll still stick with my iPhone 4.
I would rather get the Rezound, better phone,specs and display for same price, with beats audio earbuds
why is he always serious.
you kinda look like the scientist off the series "the walking dead" lol
@ArmedEqualizer Still looks better than iPhone 4.
@skymitch89 who cares what's in the box? (except for the phone itself of course)
That's a nice little phone! I would cheat on my iPhone for this phone.
um what up with the hairy hands???????
