Motorola has awoken a brand that back in 2004 was an iconic handset. The RAZR was a very popular handset and Motorola rode that wave for a while. Then it just ended. Fading into oblivion. Never to be seen or heard from again except by those who missed their RAZR's.
Then Motorola slowly starting to come into success again with the iconic Droid and Droid X2; however the Droid stamp is stuck with Verizon. So the only way Motorola can be back on the forefront they needed to resurrect the RAZR name. Now did Motorolado what they intended to do? Did they make a handset worthy of the RAZR namesake? Let's find out shall we?

That's not to take anything away from the Super AMOLED technology used, as it's top notch: we're talking qHD resolution (960 x 540) and clear and crisp colours making it a joy to use.
The design of the phone is slightly odder though: it's a very angular design, and elements like the power / lock key take their cues from the likes of the Milestone range, with golden coating and ridges to make it easier to find in the hand.
The front of the phone is sparsely populated, as we've come to expect from many mobiles at the moment - we're talking a front facing camera (1.3MP) and the four Android keys. We're always pleased to see the search key added, as it make contextual search for things like Music or Emails that much easier.
The top of the phone features three ports: the 3.5mm headphone slot, the microUSB port and another for the mini HDMI lead, which sadly doesn't come in the box but allows you to pump content to a larger display.
It's a unibody design, obviously to preserve the super thin form factor - this means that you can't access the battery or take the back off. The only way to pop in a microSD card or the microSIM that this phone takes is to pull down a small flap on the side. However, we encountered no freezes so never needed to rip out the battery, and the SIM and SD set up was super painless too.
The Motorola logo at the top could be better quality in our opinion, as it was scratched within a couple of days' use.
There's no camera button to speak of, but the 8MP sensor on the rear is joined by a single (but bright) LED flash and the speaker grille, which offers up some pretty loud sound for such a small opening.

We found the larger screen was just about OK for manoeuvring around with a single hand - we had to stretch to reach items on the far side of the display, but on the whole it was pretty good and easy to use.
