Motorola RAZR2 V8

February 7th, 2008 | by Damon Brown

Price

The suggesting retail is a whopping $399.99 USD – a price you should avoid. T-Mobile wisely has a $150 instant rebate and, at press time, an additional $50 mail-in rebate. $200 is fairly reasonable, particularly considering the sound quality. There weren’t any known special plans for the MOTORAZR2 V8.

It comes with 2 GB internal memory – about half the capability of the smallest iPod Nano – so it should be able to handle the average music phone needs.

Conclusion

The RAZR2 V8 is a solid phone for any music lover or fans of the original MOTORAZR. Those looking for an extraordinary revolutionary leap in phone technology should look elsewhere, and even hardcore fans should take advantage of the discounts before the price jumps back to $400 USD – something this phone isn’t worth. Quibbles aside, you would be hard pressed to find a more user friendly music phone of this quality.

Pros: 

• Great sound setup and quality
• Easy-to-use
• Practical, well thought out touchscreen
• 2GB of internal memory

Cons: 

• Aside from music, pretty ordinary
• Expensive without rebates
