BengalBoy 'SLICES' through the Mystery of Motorola

BengalBoy 'SLICES' through the Mystery of Motorola

Published on: 31 August, 2004 by BengalBoy

First it's a Tour De Force from the standpoint of design and construction...I absolutely love its materials, components and minimalistic design.... The Bang & Olfson of Cell Phones.....the RaZr is like nothing else you will ever see currently available from other companies.

Even with its new Mini USB charging port which I hope carries over into the other Motorola phones

It is still calling this mess a "Phone Book"

No modern OS in a $700 cell phone...let alone one so Beautiful and Expertly Crafted should be saddled with such a insulting and child like Phone Book....its ridiculous to even conceive it. My contacts being transferred effortlessly from my P900 and K700 only to be "errored out" upon opening the file in my RaZr. Don't even think about trying to transfer the contact list from your MpX into it...that might cause a permanent failure. Really, a phone of this sophistication using a second graders idea of what a phone book should be is an insult to all of the Design Engineers who created this Masterpiece of Aluminum, Magnesium and Glass. Your on the right track Motorola with all of the above improvements being noted and far ahead of the competition.....but looks without brains is not going to win the long haul....

So, more memory for a faster responding menu and a better OS with particular attention to an improved and completely redesigned phone book are in order. If the phone book from my K700 was in there, I would declare it the best little phone available, even with the limited memory(after all, its a phone, not a Mp3 player or video player)....as it is....I'll just say that its the most Beautiful Designed and Constructed Cell Phone available period!! And that my friends is quite a bit!!

So, I hope you have enjoyed this BengalBoy Exclusive...I certainly enjoyed bringing it to you.....
