As you well know, Motorola's RAZR 2 V8 isn't slated to land on T-Mobile until October 15th, but how's about a few looks to keep you antsy over the weekend? Thanks to a tipster who managed to get his hands around one of the T-Mobile-branded handsets, we're now getting our first looks at the device. So without further ado, why not check out the gallery below to see what the fuss is all about?

Motorola RAZR 2 V8 hands-on

Oh fun, we finally got to fool around with a fresh n' new Motorola RAZR 2 V8 on our own time. (The last time we caught one was at its launch -- we were a little rushed and had a severe lack of decent lighting.) Unfortunately, Moto's only JUIX device-equipped RAZR 2 is the 3G-free V8 (the V9 has HSDPA, but uses their crappy Synergy interface, as does the EV-DO capable V9m), but it was nice to take it for a spin even if we couldn't get high speed data on it.

Funny thing about the RAZR 2, even though the internal screen is 0.2-inches larger, it's actually the external display that seems more capacious. Also, don't laugh, our favorite part about this thing is the rear -- it's just got really nice, clean lines. The rest, well, it's a Motorola phone, so take that how you will and adjust your expectations accordingly.
