A really appealing phone that will have an equal fan following from both sexes. The RAZR V8 comes in a cool package with a nice soft pouch as an added accessory. Everything is packed neatly and the packing is of good quality. The phone itself has a sleek, sharp look about it and the outer screen is immediately eye catching — it’s clear and super crisp. The dark blue-grey colour tone also sets off the sharp silhouette of the phone. The body is solid metal and of superb quality and the back cover fits beautifully. We were a little disappointed to find a 950 mAh battery, although anything larger and the phone would get bulkier. Since the inner screen is larger and has the same number of pixels, it isn’t as sharp as the outer display and the fonts also seem (peculiarly) optimised for the outer screen as they appear a little large with slight, jaggedness around their edges. The menu system is rather simple and well laid out, very newbie friendly. The keypad is typical Motorola — although its flat key feedback and spacing is great so usability isn’t an issue. Some might find the keys a little hard though. Call clarity is good and the phone has a decent loudspeaker that also works well for music. The handsfree unit is decent but you do not get a 3.5-mm jack. The camera is a bit of a letdown at two megapixels and doesn’t do much.
Priced at Rs. 11,759 the Motorola RAZR V8 is a little feature shy but it makes up for its shortcomings by being a stunner. If our hearts ruled and we could go back to college with one handset to flick open and flaunt with the hope of attracting every passing lady’s attention, this would be the one we’d choose.
