Feedback submitted!Unable to submit feedback! I had this phone on the Verizon network. This was one of the best plain old phones I have had. I have always favored motorola phones for 2 reasons, the ones I have owned have taken abuse and kept on going and solid signal reception. I have dropped, kicked, and thrown various motorola phones and they continue to kick and the Razr was no different. Getting run over by a car did not stop the phone from basically functioning (I am not making this up, my Razr was run over by a car, after which it continued to make and receive phone calls, and was also able to send and receive text messages. However the cracked screen made it difficult to see things that were happening.) As far as signal reception goes I have countless situations where my wife and I (who always seems to go after other brands) have been right next to each other and my motorola had 4-5 bars and her non-motorola had 1, maybe 2 bars or no signal at all. The down sides on this phone are more a function of the carrier, Getting pictures of the phone was crippled, Verizon wanted their cut for you to use the camera (.25 for a picture text, or by a data cable to do it.) And the mobile web was downright horrible, but again that was the carrier I feel more then the phone. If you are looking for a phone that does pictures/web/texting well this is not the phone/carrier for you. Go for the iPhone, Blackberry, etc.... But if all you want to do is make phone calls, then this is the phone for you.
