Featuring a soft-touch back and new vacuum metal finish on the front, the phone has a steel internal frame.RAZR2 includes three handsets: the Motorola V9 (3G HSDPA), Motorola V9m (EVDO CDMA) and Motorola V8 (GSM). Some versions are also slated to run Linux/Java. The redesigned UI allows faster contact searching. Under the hood is an ARM 11 processor running at 10x the speed of the old RAZR. A 2.0 megapixel camera is available on the phone.

The body of the RAZR2 V9 is made up of tough materials that include aluminum, chemically treated glass, and stainless steel. Up to 120 pounds of pressure can be placed on the device’s hinge, meaning that unlike many fashion phones, the Motorola RAZR2 is built to last.

Cnet Reviews V9’s hottest feature, CrystalTalk (Motorola’s new voice technology), doesn’t show up on the screen. Similar to the latest noise-cancellation technology on Bluetooth headsets, CrystalTalk uses the phone’s microphone to sample background noise, and adjusts both the equalization and volume of sound in the earpiece to compensate. It works similar magic with speech being transmitted through the mic, as well. I found conversations audible in both directions even when I was standing next to a mobile paper shredder truck.

Summary-:

The good:  The Motorola Razr2 V9 is a fabulous-looking phone clad in steel and glass. It has HSDPA support plus a 2-megapixel camera, a music player, and good sound quality and battery life.

The bad: The Motorola Razr2 V9 has skinny side buttons and a rather flat keypad. We also wished there were one-push access to the music player plus one for the speakerphone.

The bottom line: The Motorola Razr2 V9 is a great successor to the first Razr. Despite a few quibbles, it has an eye-catching design, solid performance, and an impressive feature set.
