Advantages: Sleek design, durability, flip

Disadvantages: Fixed memory, limited picture quality and sound quality

I'm fairly loyal to this phone, as I've had various incarnations of it for several years now. Originally attracted to it due to its sleek design, a desire to own a flip phone rather than a touch screen that could rendered useless if the LCD touch panel broke, and its range of features, the Razr2 V8 promises many things, and in many instances, it delivers.

Visually, the phone is sleek and thin, but with sufficient weight and durability that if it does accidentally get dropped, it doesn't disintegrate, and when buttons are pressed, you do get a tactile feedback to confirm that the phone is actually doing what you're telling it to. The menu is colourfully displayed, and relatively easy to use.

The lack of expandable memory is a feature that could've been included, as it would've been quite easy for Motorola to give the V8 a memory card slot that would allow you to increase the space available, but nevertheless the internal memory is sufficient for a decent amount of pictures, music and games if you so wish to put them on there.

The dual screen is also a useful feature, so despite the phone being a flip design, you can view the clock and observe if you have incoming calls or messages on the external screen, as well as the main one.

Overall, if design and look is an important priority for you, but you're not particularly drawn to touchscreens and small phones with very little substance to them, the V8 is a strong contender.
