I stopped by our local VZ store and played with two new Razr's. I bricked the first when playing with the Text option. It came up with a warning that it was running the Verizon demo and gave us three options, but none of the options worked. Could not turn power off either. We tried the power/volume up button reset several times, but it would not reset. The tech was still working on it when I left. The second phone worked well on everything I tired. Cruising the internet was smooth. Some of the web sites have a special cell phone option, but it is not necessary on this phone. The display is large enough that you can expand the portion you need and select your window. Also, even in 3G it was very fast and silky smooth. The contacts organization was great and email worked well. I played with some of the settings and I really like the display. I think if you give Moto Blur a few days you will love it, especially with Ice Cream Sandwich. Some of the new HD displays are very dark, but the Razr is bright and the colors were sharp.
I am a hard keyboard person, so I am trying to get used to the soft keyboard. All my friends tell me to give the soft keyboard a try and I’ll get used to it. I mistyped a few words, but it usually catches them and I was able to edit before sending. It has 2 keyboard options, one with dedicated number keys and one with them on the shift above the top row of letters. Both worked well, but it will take me a while to get used to instead of a hard keyboard. I tried the voice option for texting and it was pretty impressive except for names. Overall, it is large, very thin, very light, and feels good in my hands, but I have been using a Blackberry lately. I think I am about 90% sold, but would like to also play with the Nexus.
