Expert Reviews from other websites (1 review)Motorola RAZR2 V8 Review at Mobile Phones UK (1 September 2007)  Motorola RAZR2 V8 Consumer Reviews (44 reviews)Write a review of the Motorola RAZR2 V8! Please share your experiences to help other people choose the product that's best for them. This is a review site, not a forum, so please don't just ask questions. Please do not use swear words or offensive language, and please, no advertising! Reviewed by Manjiri Barve on 02/07/2008I have personally been a Motorola fan, and trust me, after using everything from the motoming, rockr, razr, L9, I've finally found this phone to be a true style statement with great functionality! This phone is for all the music buffs, who like to make the most of their long commute to work. Sync it with the snoop set and trust me, heads are sure to turn (& in awe and admiration).. Its bulkier than the other motorola phones but you eventually get used to it.. Also, each prob has a solution here! Initially i faced a problem connecting to my PC (connected only as a webcam and not a storage device), and then I realized its a mere setting i need to alter in the 'Connections' menu.. As simple as that! Packed with great features, solid style and oozing oomph, this phone is one great buy! Rating: Reviewed by navee pawar on 28/06/2008 i love this motot razar v8 Rating: Reviewed by Deepak on 25/06/2008 A phone which is the best in its category and price band. The best in looks, clarity of voice and sound. Yes the camera does leave a bit to be desired though but then yet again in its category it does well. All in all a well put together phone. Rating: Reviewed by Julie on 11/06/2008 HAd 2 of these phones within a week. Battery awful, noisy keybad, poor battery cover but the worst problem is looking at the phone to check messages etc. only to find its turned itself off!!!!!!! Rating: Reviewed by Nikki on 04/06/2008 This is an awful phone!!! the battery life is ridiculously short. it won't let me put my photos on my computer (not sure if thats just my computer or what), it shuts off really randomly. sometimes it goes on strike and won't turn on again for ages. my music has stopped working twice and it won't let me delete the files already on the phone but when i try to play them it tells me that they dont exist!! i havent figured out how to stop that yet. it just decided it was going to work again. the photo quality isnt very impressive. the side buttons are a bit annoyin (mainly because one of them fell off) the one thing that REALLLLY annoys me is the voice command thingy. it starts itself all the time when im just listning to music and then this stupid annoying voice comes on asking you something like... "did you say fred??" eeerg. also the headphones broke!!! trust me.. DO NOT GET THIS PHONE!!!!! the games are awful as im a girl and not a complete geek!!! it comes with foot ball and sodoku!! only good thing i can think to say is that i quite like the buttons and even though it is annoying to get used to and a lot of people have been mean about it i love the way it flips!! :P but im a bit odd. :D hmmm... anything else??? o yer the skinnyness is good as it can fit in my pockets really well. a problem i had with my old fat phone. thats all i can think of atm. overall.... DONT GET THE PHONE!!! COMPLETE WASTE OF MONEY!!! Rating: Reviewed by Elisabeth Saunders on 02/06/2008 I love the look and sacrificed an up grade to another PDA phone to have this one ! My only grip is the battery - even when hardly used it lasts barely 2 days - not good - as the original could go over a week between charging - I am trying to find out from my service provider whether this is due to a faulty battery or just bad luck with phone as the blrb says up to 280 hours standby ! Rating: Reviewed by Rachel on 28/05/2008 * PLEASE READ * BEFORE YOU BUY. I was attracted to it's looks until i noticed many major flaws. The phone restarts itself daily. The camera is poor with no flash. There is no option for a memory card.The glossy front attracts fingerprints and i have to wipe every 5 minutes and even carry a cloth. The texting slows down when writing a long message. The phone looks HUGE when opened up - like an opened C.D case. I will be lucky if i get 20 hours on a fully charged battery which is terrible. I made a massive mistake buying this and it is going on ebay as we speak. I am now going back to my old trustworthy 6230i. Rating: Reviewed by rachel on 27/05/2008 i prefer flip phones over slide phones cos they protect the screen and buttons. This phone does everything i want it to. Buy it if you want an up to date super-sleek phone! Rating: Reviewed by Ok but... on 27/05/2008 Its features are average and yo u have to keep wiping prints off front. Try the moto u9 which i s smaller Rating: Reviewed by Charlie on 26/05/2008 The 2GB version does not seem available in stores as i had to settle for a 512MB version. After talking to Motorola they tell me the 2GB version is only available in the expensive luxury edition of the V8 which is 18ct gold plated and they also said 2GB is not available in the standard version. Rating: Reviewed by UK on 26/05/2008 I bought this after my krzr k1 glass cracked in my pocket...and it put me off motorola until the O2 shop said the glass on the front of the razr2 v8 had been improved and so far it seems fine... Rating: Reviewed by Paul on 25/05/2008 Top phone. Smart and fast, easy menus. Looks and feels class. Well done Motorola. Rating: Reviewed by Emma on 25/05/2008 Nice but camera could be better Rating: Reviewed by Nikitha on 24/05/2008 I have recently bought this particular mobile and let me tell you THIS IS AN AWESOME MOBILE. keeping aside its battery life all its features are just on top of the list. i use the phone 24*7 and the phone just runs out of battery. And coming to quality of the music it gives thats the best. Its clamshell is the best and you just fall in love with its gloss finish. The web access is not so bad but as days pass by it justs slows down. The best thing is that it can store around 2500 messages!!! which according to me is the best feature of this mobile. In a nutshell it is out of the world. Rating: Reviewed by Scooby on 24/05/2008 The phone is brilliant, slick, sleek and stylish let alone practical and affordable. How I ever managed without this phone before i shall never know. Rating: Reviewed by Nathan on 24/05/2008 Amazing phone - i'm very pleased indeed. Although this is a thin phone it still has a strong build quality and in no way feels flimsy. The 2mp camera is clear and perfect for quick snaps. I like the external touch screen as you can change songs without having to open the phone. The main keypad is not touch which makes navigation and texting a breeze as the buttons are a good size. The call quality is excellent even in noisy areas. As for the battery life i get 2.5 to 3 days with moderate useage which i think is reasonable. Overall a really stylish and sleek phone that has the functionality and reliability to match is appearance - definitly recommended Rating: Reviewed by Phil A on 21/05/2008 First of all, I'm amazed at how many people who gave the phone 1 star just can't speak English - maybe that's why you've given it 1 star, you're too stupid to be able to work the phone. :P Anyways, on to my review: The good - the phone looks great, it has a good feel and the buttons are huge. The predictive text is the best I've ever used, and the message storage is just FANTASTIC! The bad - after 4 months of ownership one of the buttons has gone into an "occasionally working" mode - I can be typing a phone number or text and I have to watch what I'm typing like a hawk. The ear piece is also intermittent, about half of the time I can't hear anything. Also the phone occasionally turns itself off while it's in my pocket. I don't use the phone for listening to music - I have a MP3 player for that. I rarely use the phone as a camera - I have a decent digital camera for that. I often read and reply to texts using the outside screen, but sometimes the button thinks there is a "double click" so skips past the messages - as long as you setup your templates properly the outside screen answering is brilliant! If I hadn't had the few problems this phone would have received 5 stars, but because of the issues it has to get 3. Rating: Reviewed by Ryan on 20/05/2008 I bought the v8 a couple off weeks ago and it is fantastic. Rating: Reviewed by robert cantin on 19/05/2008 this is honestly the worst phone you can get your hands on it has a poor camera an easily crackible toch screen and has problems with its games switching on and off i am on no.6 and i am returning this one. DO NOT BUY! Rating: Reviewed by James on 05/05/2008 I know a lot of people have had trouble with the battery life but i haven't. Although, on the box there is sticker that says "Actual phone now contains new extra capacity battery, making it 3mm thicker" i don't know if this is a new better battery than the original or if they all come with that. Anyways, the software is definutely difficult to get set up. and the phone does like to collect finger prints, but thats not a huge deal. it only has a 2mp camera, but i don't think its that bad. the screen hasn't gone orange either. the ratings here are either 5/5 or 1/5 mainly. i think there must be a lot of faulty ones, but the working ones are good. so other than the software, i don't have many complaints Rating: Reviewed by satyajit on 05/05/2008 there is no option of download themes Rating: Reviewed by stephen on 02/05/2008 the review on the motorola v8 razr2 is wrong the phone is a choice of two these are one is a built and the other is a built in 2gb none have an expandable memory on them i bought one and i am not pleased as i have always trusted this review site and the phone isn't what i was lead to believe it was [Editor's reply: I think that you're referring to the expert review on our partner site. This review clearly states that "the memory available is either 512 Mbytes or 2 Gbytes, depending on which version of the V8 you choose. It isn't expandable, so we'd recommend that you choose the 2 Gbyte version, as you won't be able to change your mind later!" Sorry that you consider this to be in some way misleading.] Rating: Reviewed by Leanne on 26/04/2008 I love this phone but, it won't connect to the pc no matter what I do including downloading drivers from the development site to make windows work with the v8's linux, (on motorola phone tools) and the phone doesnt have a flash!! Oh dear. Still love it though and I'm keeping it. Despite having a much better phone before with optical zoom aswell! And not having wi-fi is also disadvantage :( Very pretty phone. Rating: Reviewed by Vito Andolini on 24/04/2008 I have had the Razr2 for a couple of weeks now, and I must say I am entirely satisfied with the phone. Its build quality is excellent, I'm loving the metal construction combined with hardened glass, it gives the phone a very manly feel. The call quality is superb, Motorola's crystal talk technology is definitely helpful in improving communication. MP3 Player is top notch, headphones are pretty good and the USB 2.0 connection works like a charm on my PC. Overall I highly recommend this phone for style conscious users who appreciate good call quality and a sturdy masculine feel. Rating: Reviewed by james on 24/04/2008 outstandind good phone for all ages Rating: Reviewed by JM Cook on 20/04/2008 Poor battery from the start now 3 months down the line I've had to ditch it in favour of my OLD Motorola v220 which is reliable and stays charged up. In fact my Razr now won't even switch on!! Rating: Reviewed by Doug Mansfield on 15/04/2008 I HATE this phone. It is slow, irritating, and very stupid. Rating: Reviewed by Mikey on 12/04/2008 Only had my phone a week, and like it more and more every day as I learn my way around the menu. All the moans about battery life are rubbish, so long as you do it right from day one ie: long full charge then run it flat. If you do that a few times, the battery activates properly and is ok for a few days normal use on one charge after that. Obviously if you video and listen for music for hours and hours it will probably be a different matter! Incidently the camera is pretty good as they go, and quite good enough for casual fun pics - if you want to take proffesional quality pix buy a camera! Love how it feels in my pocket - so thin and easy to get out, and doesnt get caught up. Im sure this phone is worth 5 stars, but because ive only had it a week im not really qualified to give it that. Oh sod it, it IS good - I will give it 5 stars! Flip phones may not be the trendy thing to some people, but I hate flimsy fragile sliders and the accidental calls from phones with open key pads. And ignore all the clowns saying this phone is rubbish, they are probably Nokia dealers or something. Its a great phone - if you like the look of it, buy it. Rating: Reviewed by Clay on 06/04/2008 This phone's the best they've made! Rating: Reviewed by steve on 04/04/2008 i hate the V8, can't get it to connect to my PC whatever i do..no clear info on the website, really toss phone Rating: Reviewed by Risa-Ann on 03/04/2008 i just bought my motorola v 8 today and i love it. Rating: Reviewed by Phil on 30/03/2008 This phone has a great feel and shine to it; it feels like quality because of its stainless steel body and is quite sturdy. Its an amazing phone with many features and easy to use menus. You don't have to read the manual since it is intuitive. If you're a light user, the phone has reasonable battery life but if you're constantly using it for whatever reason, the battery life will run down in a day. I can't seem to preview the preloaded ringtones (I could on the first day) but for some reason, it no longer allows me. However I can still change the tone so it is only a minor problem. Other than that, for £114 its a quality buy with excellent call quality and loudspeaker! It can even read your messages for you. Rating: Reviewed by Abueloeddie on 29/03/2008 Replaced my 18 month old D&G Razr V3i with this latest bit of shiny kit from Motorola. I'm on an Orange tariff which provided a Broadband connection plus many "goodies" and the h/set comes "free". The BB connection gives me a free VoIP outgoing calls and over the time I've had this set up, I must have saved hundreds of pounds in land line and mobile calls. A really shiny black casing takes the eye and the Arial ( I think) font used for the text is superbly clear.The handset has a good quality 'feel' to it but is let down slightly when trying to open the flip, as it tends to slip. Boringly, I use a phone to make and take calls, nothing else. I don't need to send pictures nor do I need to listen to music, so I cannot comment on the audio or pictorial gadgets which proliferate the mobile phone market today. What I can say is that the sound entering my admittedly deaf old lug 'oles is as clear as the proverbial mountain stream! Well done Motorola techno. guys. When I get a chance I'll download a decent bit of classical music to act as a Ring tone but at the moment I'm putting up with a plain ordinary "Ring- Ring" . Loud enough for me. The Bluetooth connection to my in -car handsfree kit works immediately and connects seamlessly each and every time. One point I would take up with the initial reviewer. He goes on at great lengths about an "external touchscreen" and how the user can text whilst the flip is closed. I would really like to see a demonstration of this as the screen on the outside of my handset is of hardened glass, and no amount of touching or tapping will change the appearance or affect any changes on the screen. However the side mounted controls WILL make changes , but this is nothing new and certainly should not be described as a "touchscreen" My phone comes pre loaded with 'Orange' software which would seem to prevent the user from accessing the "home screen" According to the User Manual a single press of one key will bring up the home screen for personalisation.. Not so! I'll just have to get used to a digital readout for the clock and the far too tiny icons showing on the main screen, Referring back to the Orange Shop where I got it, produced nothing but absolute bafflement in all the resident "Clever clogs" "Try for a Flash up-grade from Motorola" was what I was left with. Oh well! Not for me! All in all a pleasant looking handset which makes and takes calls in an exemplary fashion. Good enough for another 18 months ( Especially at the tarrif rates) Rating: Reviewed by John on 28/03/2008 Excellent phone, I think im gonna stick with this for a long time! design is excellent, very elegant, super thin, great display, great music player, good camera (not excellent, but for the price is worth it). I never really liked motorola, but this one completely maked me change my mind, had this phone for 3 months, and i found it super easy and its really one of the best phones i had! I was used to change my phone every month... but this one im keeping it for a very long time, this is nothing compared to the old razr (motorola V3) I really dont know what use u'll give it, but if u r like me, only need to talk, text message, music, and perhaps some camera, I would totally recomend u! Rating: Reviewed by And on 20-03-2008 This phone is a good surprise from motorola. I had many others phones and among the midle-phones this one the best! Rating: Reviewed by Tommo on 19/03/2008 RAZR2 V8 Had an earlier Razr; lovely phone to handle, but it kept freezing, particularly with my photos. In the end I changed it for a Samsung D600. This has been a super phone a in all respects but yesterday my wife bought me a Razr2V8 for my birthday. The salesman at Carphone Warehouse was a bit nifty dealing with my question about freezing screens but we bought it anyway. It was on charge last night and when switching it on this morning I managed to read two Texts from O2 before the phone froze completely. Wouldn't even switch off. Manager at Carphone Warehouse said " but all phones freeze". Oh no they don't - but Motorola Razr phones do. So BEWARE, Moto still hasn't resolved this problem!! PS I got my money back, minus £10 for the O2 sub. I'll keep the Samsung. Rating: Reviewed by The accountant on 13/03/2008 You folks slagging this phone off don't know what your talking about! If you have a problem with it's battery life you should try using a Samsung phone. Now they're really bad. I'm a motorola virgin and so far finding my way around the phone's been a piece of cake. Texting using predictive text is great - again try using Samsung if you want a challenge. The internet is excellent and it's 2G is way faster then the 3G on my old phone. It's only got a 2 m pixel camera - so what, I have a digital camera to take photo's with and guess what, it's 2 m pixel camera quality is better than the 3 m pixel on my old phone anyway. Yep you've guessed my old phone was a Samsung. OK I've only had the phone two days, but so far I'm really pleased with it and a motorla convert! Rating: Reviewed by John E. on 10/03/2008 Great design, NOTHING MORE. Buggy software, slow menus, camera is not soo good as expected, no 3G, no external memory, weak battery. Touch screen works with player ONLY. Not able to customize user interface, side buttons, can't change soft keys anymore, can't change outer screen (motorola logo looks quite ugly). I've been using Motorola phones for years (V50, V66, T720, T722, V525, V3) and now I'm very dissapointed with V8. I think this is the last Motorola phone I have. Rating: Reviewed by sachin s.. on 09/03/2008 phone looks interesting for only few days.after that u regret buying a phone without basic features that other cells come loaded with .no fm radio.. no 3G..ok camera ..no wi-fi..no expandable memory..poor battery..to name a few......only good thing...STYLISH... not a smart phone Rating: Reviewed by JULIE KIMPTON on 06/03/2008 THE PHONE IS VERY SMART AND SLEEK BUT THE PROBLEM IS THE BATTERY LIFE EVERY THING ELSE ABOUT IT IS ACCEPTABLE FOR THE PRICE Rating: Reviewed by Joe on 03/03/2008 anyone else find the hiss on this phone really loud when it's on speakerphone?

Rating: Reviewed by Jason S on 26/02/2008 After being a Sony Ericsson fan for a few years and now really being a fan of the old Moto software/layout i decided to give this phone a looking at. Thank God i did, it's feel & look is out of this world. Even taking it out of the box is a nice feeling. The front screen is ecellent, with the flip screen bigger still. The keyboard feels huge compared to my last phones and you almost feel guilty at having it compared to what some phone users have to put up with. Pity there is no memory card slot and battery life is not as good as some, but don't let that put you off. The camera takes better pics than my last (supposed to be superior phone)even without a flash. Its layout and use is fantastic. BUY THIS PHONE, it will knock you out with looks, feel and use. It makes you feel rich just using it!!!!!! - Have Fun Rating: Reviewed by sam backbum on 22/02/2008 the motorola is ok and i like it Rating: Consumer Reviews from other websites (100 reviews)Motorola RAZR2 V8 Reviews at Mobile Phones UK (100 reviews)Motorola RAZR2 V8 LinksMotorola V8 RAZR2 Motorola V8 RAZR2 Espresso Black Motorola V8 RAZR2 Luxury Motorola V8 RAZR2 Silver
