You know, you guys give Moto a lot of crap for keeping the RAZR around, but I'm not going to lie I still use an original V3 (gasp!) and would only switch to something else if I started to need a Blackberry or the like for work. It's surprisingly sturdy, has good reception and call quality where I live, and in general feels very comfortable when I'm holding it to type. For the vast majority of people who don't care about advanced features it's a great phone. (Wouldn't mind a snappier interface, but nothing's perfect.)
no one is arguing that the razr was one hell of a phone. the argument is that moto refuses to come out with something new and that 4 years later, they have come out with like 20 different model versions of the SAME phone, all the while playing off the success of the original. I mean really, consider how behind moto is. In that 4 years, households went from CRT tvs to flat panels, an entire format war too place, Bush stayed in office.... you see my point
