"It's entry-level, but not like most other entry-level phones.
It's the first phone in Motorola's Scalpel family, which will eventually cover all price points and form factors, replacing the current RAZR family.
Scalpel has a lot of new technology, such as a new type of display that's unlike LCD or OLED. It's easier to see and uses a lot less power. Its standby time is measured in weeks.
It also has high-quality speakerphone technology borrowed from iDEN group.
It also has dual internal antennas - one at the top and one at the bottom - so you get equally good reception no matter how you hold it. (Most phones with internal antennas are fairly sensitive to where and how you hold them.)"
