1. Motorola V8: Everything it does, it does well!

I have owned the Motorola V8 for about four months now, and it is a great handset! Sure it may not have many features, but the features it has are good. The interface is a step up from the horrible Razr V3's, it is very responsive and doesn't lag. The design is beautiful, very shiny though (I have to clean mine every night!) and many people have complimented me on the phones great looks. The MP3 player is exquisite and sound quality is unmatched, the sound comes out loud, clear and crisp. The camera, although only a 2 mega pixel one, has surprised me with its superb image quality, I put a few of my pictures on my computer and every single detail is there, images are very sharp too, so the camera really is a winner. The keypad is well spaced and easy to text on, although the back lighting could be stronger. The two displays on the V8 are stunning, Motorola obviously took their time with the displays because colours are vivid and sharp, you can also adjust the brightness level of the screens (this helps when working with the phone in the dark) and both displays are very legible in bright light. The three touch sensitive keys on the front work when the flip is closed and you are playing music, they are extremely responsive even with a brush of my finger. The touch sensitive keys also have hap tic feedback, this is a small vibration when the keys are pushed, this is excellent because it confirms that I have pressed the key, I just wish the keys had more functionality instead of just being music keys. The web browser is a dream to use with Opera mini pre installed and download speed is quite fast for an EDGE connection. Overall, the Motorola V8 does everything i need it to, and it does it well.

2. Constant Problems

THe RAZR2 V8 is a nice phone - but that's where it ends. I paid $399 for it to replace the crappy samsung I had - For the first 2-3 months it was great then it started acting weird. Battery wouldn't keep a full charge, it would lockup, it would go nutz when trying to txt message. It was just a slew of issues. I had to keep "rebooting" it 2x a day to get it to work.
Replaced it with another one and same thing. I have to reboot it at least twice a day and it still sometimes locks up. Txt messaging is a bear when it goes crazy and adds characters in the message or just sends the mesage before you finished typing!!! Arrgh!! It really wasn't worth the money at all. T-Mobile says it's normal to have to reset a phone daily and more than once is "good" to keep "fresh" on the network! HUH!??? First I ever heard that one...
All in all - I wish I would have gotten a V3 - had one before without any problems....I think it's this Linux-Java OS they have it running on. A friend has the same phone and he has all the same problems.
Really sucks......sigh :( But I'm stuck with it now.....

This phone can give me everything what I want. Of course it hasn't some features, but I ain't need them. Don't worry about the MicroSD slot - it is unnecessary. You've got 512MB of built memory and if you have got your own camera and mp3 player, it would be enough of memory for you. Motorola V8 is really recommended by me. Try out also the V9.

i like it, but i find the vibrate mode a little weak. the screen is clean and large. the touch screen in front is sometimes hard to use, have to press a little too hard makes me feel like i'm gonna break the phone. the camera is nice and crisp. the video mode sucks my previous phone did more clear videos. it's a good phone, just doens't have memory slot, limited memory space for those who like to store a lot of songs and videos and pics. but overall it's a decent buy.

I love this phone. it has pretty much everything you need but i noticed that it didnt have a radio when my crappy Nokia 6030 had a radio on it. still the sound quality was very good. i saw how some people said it looked like they could break it with one finger. well anybody who said that hasnt even touched the razr2. it is very sturdy and i have dropped it about 10 times and it doesnt even have a scratch on it wich is amazing. if you buy this phone your making a VERY wise choice

Outstanding desing, roker functions for the music and great sound, lastes technology, great camera and a very nice interface.
It's a pleasure tu hold this mobile, operate it and enjoy every feature.
I highly recommend it!

i just got this phone and i agree its huge i am always a tinge embarrassed when i pull out the monster but its so thin i can JUST feel it in my pocket which is nice because it also means it doesnt look like a growth out of my hip. The annoying thing is that ther's no shortcut to the camera/ selfportrait thing. iTS EXPENSVE but thats because its the only good phone tmobile offers. I am a teen so we are constantly comparing phones and once people get over the small shock of the not so small size ...i win. its gorgeuos but the call quality is alittle fuzzy..but thats tmobile for you
