This is my brief review of the phone after few days of usages smile.gif

MotoUI
Fluid and fast unlike its predecessor MotoBlur. I like some of its widgets such as the emails and sms which can come in very handy. Not a looker yes but as long as it gets the thing done.

Display
qHD isn't an ideal resolution though. You may find some apps or games to only display half or 3 quarters of the screen. However, you can fix this by download spare parts from market. Untick compatibility mode and reboot. Should fix it but then some other apps become overlay.
As for the super amoled, I don't know if I'm liking it or being deceived by its hyped bright, crisp and saturated colors. white and brighter colors doesn't appear to be natural.

Camera
Disappointed by the picture quality produced even though its 8mp. Still ok with normal lighting condition but under low light, lost kau kau to iphone 4 (5mp). I will take some comparison pictures with these 2 phones later.
But what amazed me is the 1080p recording and 720p front facing camera. Smooth and clear

Hardware
Simply the best! Other than the gorilla glass, if you throw this phone down from 10th floors it will not break. That's how strong kevlar is. For those that said it feels like cheap plastic, clearly you've never seen a carbon fiber or kevlar before.

Battery life
I'd wait until 1% battery stat comes around before judging. But as for now, not as good as Atrix (1930mah) but still perform decently. The phone does not overheat and cooler than Atrix. I've tried usb tethering for both phones and Atrix usually reach over 40c and slowly discharging even with usb plugged. Razr on the other hand stay below 40c and slowly charging

Calls, receptions, speaker
Moto has always been very good in these areas. Signal strength by far the best, better than iphone 4. Calls are clear and loud. Audio quality is very good and loud too. Plug in with Rokr earpieces and you have a winner

Saw some interesting threads on xda. Guys what's your build date on the device? Mine is 18th Oct and its known that build date before 26th Oct were all pre-release  doh.gif  doh.gif  doh.gif

These are the problems you might be having:

- Green tint to your screen on low/auto brightness
- Viewing a black screen, you will be able to see black spots & splashes inside the screen
- Fuzzy static all over the camera
- Noticable lag when scrolling left & right at the app screen

I think mine got green tint and fuzzy static camera problems  doh.gif  doh.gif  doh.gif  doh.gif  doh.gif

i read it too, but until now still not have solid proof or statement from motorola...

but guess i will delay my buy for razr...

Mine too. Especially when your screen is off. On back usually is disconnected from router. But it will auto re-connect if the device is switched back on. Battery saver issue?

i not using razr, but android wifi will sleep when screen off, can set at the wifi setting-->menu-->advanced-->wifi sleep policy, set it to never.

Guys, do you know anything about ipmart? Apparently it's a Malaysia online store although I'm not familiar with it. Some guys in xda asked me about this cause Razr is too expensive in their countries lol

update for my razr status :

went back to celcom today, i demand for 1 to 1 exchange due to the display problem, they acknowledge it is a defect but their policy, once accept the phone and out from their branch, cannot exchange 1 to 1 (except Iphone), all problem must go back to manufacturer distributor(in my case brightstar), and u need to do it urself, they not help you. so guys who want to but from celcom take note.

then i go to brightstar branch at Johor Bahru. they acknowledge it is a manufacturer defect, but not 1 to 1 exchange because they branch in Johor is only a collection center, they do not have any stock there, everything must go back to KL branch. i demand a new set to be replace to me but the staff said they need to send the phone back to HQ/service center(phoneworx), then they will decide whether to replace a new set or repair the set.

I going to log a official complain to Brightstar and motorola, to demand a brand new set.

for Iphone, yes can exchange one to one, because the policy is from apple company. but not for other phone.

from the 2 days i using razr, discover that there are too many background application running(auto startup app)and consumming large amount of battery. after i get back my phone, i will root and remove some of the unuse apps. this should improve battery life.

example i got is "motorola service" consuming average 10% of the batt, not sure what Service is that.....

reply from Brightstar...

Brightstar Distribution JB branch is not a service center – We are only can collect the device on Motorola/PhoneWox behalf



Meanwhile we have contacted PhoneWox Sunway Mentari branch for their feedback as to assist you with your warranty claims – IF they are (Phonewox) to give you a 1 to 1 swap – They are still in the position of taking their Seed Unit for replacement and We can’t use Brightstar Commercial set for any Warranty replacement – we hope that you can be aware of the Warranty Service agreement between Authorized Service Center and Distributor role are very much


from this wat i understand is brightstar cannot replace 1 to 1. because spoilt warranty unit is by motorola/phonewox, while brightstar incharge of new selling set. is this what the reply mean?

not too sure what it means... best you give em a call to sort your doubts out.

anyway, i went on ahead to the jln ampang branch after paying a visit to pavilion's blue cube cuz they said they haven't got any word about the phone yet and that the branch would be the first to have the new phones. and so i went to jln ampang and guess what, they never fail to amuse me... the peeps there was saying the exact opposite thing, that pavilion would be the first to launch any new phones... and they're in the dark as well on the razr... damn it, wasted all my time and effort...

normally good stuff always reach KL branch 1st.....y this time JB got it 1st.....huhuhu

Normally once u step out of the shop. Theres no such thing as one to one exchange.
dealers will push to service center, service center will push back to dealers.

We must fight for our right, i have enough, no more normally this time, i push so hard for it, i send complain email to motorola, brightstar, celcom, Brightstar FB......we must change our style to smart user....
