At some point, and I'm guessing pretty soon, you will see the RAZR behind the counter at a gas station for $20 as a pre-paid phone. I think Motorola has overplayed their hand, and, just like those songs on the radio which started out and stayed in heavy-rotation, we will all cringe at the thought of using a RAZR. This once-high-end phone will soon become a garage-sale fodder. I feel sorry for the business execs who paid upwards of $400 for the phone when it was being pushed as a luxury good.

What do you know... right at 1 year 14 days. That's right, out of warranty! It wouldn't hold a charge for more than 2 short phone calls, and would have strange screen freezes. I had the monthly insurance from Cingular, $50 co-pay later, they sent us a new one. Although at this point, I wonder if I was better off buying a new phone??

I don't know...seriously, it hasn't happened. ;) “What would a day on CrunchGear be like without reports of another rendition of the timeworn Motorla RAZR?”

The RAZR changed the percetption of Motorola from an "eh" manufacturer to the hottest phone designers out there, and I doubt they have any interest in letting their former flagship (since the KRZR came out, anyway) leave the spotlight. So like a 50 year old hair band, they just keep touring well after they should have hung it up. Free bird!
