UPDATE: I'll have a review coming soon here.

Hey, you know what that is. Everyone knows what it is. What, you say you don't? Well, look at the picture. Pfft.

Yes, that's the RAZR. The CDMA RAZR, specifically. The very same phone that's so promising UK Telecoms-giant o2 is rumored to be looking at having it added under their line of O2 phones. It looks like it's the big talk on Howard Forums and some of the gadget sites today. Apparently someone scanned in a Verizon ad for it. Mobile Prototype has a bunch more pictures of it. At least, more than I'm willing to put up until it ships. ;)

So I guess that means I can mention I've had one for a while. Well, I've had my hands on one for a while at least.

It's odd, though. After finally getting my hands on one and messing around with it, I can't figure out what the draw is. I remember when I first saw a picture of the RAZR I thought it was all cool and Star Trek like. I thought I had posted about it when images first surfaced on Phone Scoop before it was released, but a search doesn't reveal anything. Maybe it was on my old blog -- I still haven't moved all of that over to here.

In any case, yeah, I've touched it, used it, explored it, and fondled it. I came out really liking my LG VX9800. No, seriously. Well, I'm still planning on doing some sort of write-up for the RAZR. I'll probably do a brief overview of everything with my opinions and see if I get any questions about it. Heck, people may have questions now. I mean, if anyone reads this or cares.

So, what's so good about the RAZR? It's thin. What else? Not much. It's a Motorola, but does it have the Motorola UI? It does have a 1.3 MP camera, bluetooth (for headsets and stuff), a low resolution 176x220 screen (low compared to my VX9800, at least -- normal these days), a mini USB port (now that's cool), 1xEVDO (excellent), VCast service (gotta love The Daily Show!), and it's thin. Any questions?
