I caught the RAZR craze, and I'm less than impressed. I really wanted a Q, but Verizon charges too much for data service. Plus, they refused to apply my Every2 credit toward a Q to make the phone $99 out of pocket. At any rate, the only things going for the RAZR are its thin size and its call quality. All conversations are crystal clear, and I have yet to have any problems finding a network signal. The size is great because it fits nicely in my pants pocket without the appearance of Elephantatis. However, the thin design sacrifices battery life. Of course I think something is wrong with the battery because it charges for an hour then the phone reports the charge is complete, but 8 hours later with no calls made, and it needs another charge. I'm taking it back and asking for a replacement tomorrow and an extension of the 15 day trial because clearly something is faulty considering my wife's RAZR, which was bought the same day, doesn't have the same problems.
“The experience was a quick and painful reminder that no matter how pretty the window dressing is here, HTC has staged its fashion show in a building that should be scheduled for demolition.
