Fedex Came.. Yay

Post by SOAPboy »

Razr is here..

Must say, you guys over the pond have some weird ass power outlets.. This charger is just, well a bit over slightly crazy looking (imported phone).. Crazy i say..

Anyways, Really like the phone, thank god for USB charging :)

So, whats the "converter" actually called for the charger, id assume its cheaper than buying another charger?
[size=75][i]I once had a glass of milk.

It curdled, and then I couldn't drink it. So I mixed it with some water, and it was alright again.

I am now sick.

Good choice. What colour did you go with?

I just picked up a silver Razr last Friday and so far its great. My V300 was a year old and was starting to get boring. Just an FYI, you'll want to get a proper wall charger soon since the USB can't charge an extremely low or dead battery.

Meh, they're less than a year old up here in igloo-land and still the thinnest our cell companies offer. It'll work for a year at least until the next upgrade.

As for battery life it isn't bad but bluetooth use drains it more quickly than I expected it to.

yes it's thin, but it's a bit wide too. but, i do like the design, and it's already spawning replicas from other companies.

yeah, bluetooth is funny like that though. some phones it drains the crap out of it and some don't. my old SE T610 ALWAYS had bluetooth on and you could hardly tell the difference in battery life and i used it often (earphone, synch, pc remote, etc)

My ngage was the same way (insert lame ngage joke).. bluetooth didnt hurt the battery at all it seemed..

I was sick of carrying the much bulkier V300 around in a pocket so this is an improvement.

Don't get me wrong it wasn't too bad considering I used it for about two hours of talk time yesterday using a bluetooth headset before the battery hit the last bar. I think the battery life might have been an hour or so better if bluetooth hadn't been used though.

I have one. It's not too wide and the battery life is excellent. Replacement batteries are reasonably priced too. Reception inside brick enclosures is terrible, but that's my only gripe and it's a GSM/local coverage thing, not a problem with the phone per se.

No, taking and making calls/SMSs. The odd bit of data/fax too. That's about all my phone does.
