Four of the Five RAZR2s Reviewed (Verdict: What a Difference a Carrier Makes)

Sascha Segan at PC Mag just worked his way through testing the AT&T, Sprint, Verizon Wireless and Alltel RAZR2 models. Though all RAZR2s have similar specs—"luxurious metal-and-glass design," 240-MHz processor, roughly 100 MB of memory, a 2-megapixel camera and "the biggest, most beautiful external screen you've ever seen on a flip phone"—each carrier treated this differently. We gave you a nice run-down of feature differences, but here's how the actual user experience differs from carrier to carrier: More »

Sprint Launches Motorola RAZR 2

After Verizon announced its launch of the RAZR 2 this morning, now Sprint jumps on board, saying it will also launch the new Motorola clamshell. Sprint's touting its RAZR2's ability to watch videos on its 2" external screen, even when the flip is closed. But just like Verizon, the company says little about the phone itself, rather it shills for its services including NFL Mobile, the Sprint music store, Sprint TV with 50 channels of live video and the company's version of TeleNav, giving you turn-by-turn GPS directions. It goes on sale August 22 for $249 with a two-year agreement. Well, if Sprint doesn't want to talk about the beauty of the RAZR2, we'll just show it to you in this gallery: More »

Ultimate Motorola RAZR 2 Launch Guide

Motorola's mystery announcement is well in the clear by now. Those of you who speculated that it would be BLAZR, TAZR, LAZR, GAZR, CLVR, LOSR, KRPR, and (my favorite) POOPR were trumped by the infinitely more imaginative "RAZR 2". Naming qualms and reminiscent styling aside, there are good reasons to believe this RAZR is entirely different than the one somebody's granddad got free with a two-year contract. It's a full ground-up redesign, with wow features like 3G networking, touch-sensitive screens, and Linux-Java support drawn right into the blueprint. Follow the jump for our complete and oh-so-ultimate guide to the RAZR 2 launch. More »

RAZR2 and The Four Carriers

I'm pretty excited about the new RAZR 2, and why shouldn't I be? It just launched today. One of the positive aspects that Ed Zander stressed during the unveiling is that the RAZR 2 will be out in two versions (EDGE and HSDPA) for GSM carriers and a third version (EVDO) for CDMA carriers.

Follow the jump for a breakdown and a handy "clip n' save" chart. More »
