The good: The Motorola Razr2 V9m cell phone for Verizon Wireless offers an updated, sexy design. The feature set is relatively generous, and call and its performance is admirable.
The bad: The Motorola Razr2 V9m for Verizon Wireless is saddled with a low-resolution internal display and a stifling menu interface. It offers few organizer applications, and it doesn't take full advantage of the external display.
The bottom line: Verizon Wireless' Motorola Razr2 V9m is a sexy phone with stunning call quality, but on the whole it can't quite match up to Sprint's comparable model.
As one of three carriers to land the new Motorola Razr2 V9m, Verizon Wireless is hardly unique for including the new phone in its lineup. Yet the carrier took advantage of Motorola's push for carrier customization by offering an exclusive color scheme and altering some of the phone's controls. The result is an attractive phone with brilliant call quality, but Verizon's lackluster menu interface is a bit deterrent to the phone's multimedia features. As such, Verizon's V9m doesn't quite measure up to Sprint's comparable model (we've yet to test Alltel's V9m). Verizon's Razr2 is $299 with service, $50 more than Sprint's handset.
Design
Beyond the color change, which we'll get to in a minute, Verizon's V9m is nearly identical to the other V9ms. At 4.05x2.08x0.46 inches, it's thinner than the original Razr V3, but its increased heft (4.1 ounces) gives it a sturdier feel. It also has a streamlined, sexy look with a flattened internal antenna. On the other hand, while Sprint's Razr2 is a simple dark gray, the Verizon phone's Espresso (read: brown) hue is a tad more striking. For more on the V9m's design, see our review of the Sprint phone.
Verizon's V9m also shows the Razr2's lovely externals display, which measures two inches with a 65,000-color resolution. Considering that's equal to the internal displays on many midrange phones, it's a treat to view despite the lack of customization options. As for the onscreen touch controls, Verizon chose to feature shortcuts for the camera, the music player, and voice dialing. While the first two controls are certainly useful, the latter is unnecessary since you can also activate voice dialing and commands with the button on the right spine. We much prefer the arrangement on the Sprint phone, which allows you to watch streaming video on the external display, or on AT&T's GSM Razr2 V9, which lets you browse through the recent calls list.
Like the rest of the Razr2 models, the onscreen controls feature the same tactile feedback, which is something we've come to love. Yet it's disappointing that, unlike the Sprint V9m, we didn't get the same tactile feedback on the external controls. It's not totally necessary, but still nice to have, just the same. The volume rocker and the Motorola smart key on the left spine and the aforementioned voice-dialing key are rather thin and can be difficult to find when the phone is up to your ear. Completing the exterior of the phone, the Micro USB/charger port sits on the left spine, the camera lens is just above the display, and the MicroSD card slot rests behind the battery.
Much of the interior of the phone is the same. Again, we don't get why the 2.2-inch display supports just 65,000 colors compared with the V9's 262,000-color display. It's not unusable by any means; in fact, it's perfectly fine for most uses, but we expect better on a multimedia phone.
The real problem lies with Verizon's standardized menu structure. We've railed about it many times, but bear with us as we're going to do so again here. Besides the menu's dreary, text-heavy design it's also impossible to find many things. Why put the camera under the Get it Now menu? It just doesn't make sense. You can adjust the backlighting, the time, and the brightness on the display, but you can't change the text size.
The navigation array and keypad buttons are unchanged from Sprint's V9m, save for a small edit to the navigation array. Both have a circular toggle with a central OK button, two soft keys, a clear button, and the talk and end/power keys. But instead of a speakerphone shortcut, Verizon gives you dedicated controls for the camera/camcorder.
Features
Multimedia is a big theme on all of the Razr2 models, and Verizon's V9m is no exception. As an EV-DO phone, the Razr2 V9m supports the full range of Verizon's 3G services, including the V Cast video service as well as the V Cast music store. The music player's interface is identical to those on other Verizon phones, but we like it just a bit better than Sprint's music player design.
Verizon's Razr2 V9m includes a 2-megaixel camera that's slightly different from the Sprint version. It takes pictures in four resolutions (1,600x1,200; 1,280x960; 640x480; 320x240; and a special size for photo caller ID). Editing options are plentiful and include a self-timer, brightness and white balance controls, three color effects, nine fun frames, and a digital zoom. The camcorder takes clips with sound in two resolutions (320x240 and 176x144). Clips meant for multimedia messages are capped at 30 seconds, but you can shoot for as long as the available memory permits. The brightness and white balance are adjustable and you can select a color effect. The V9m has a generous 65MB of available user memory. That's shared between all functions, so you're better off buying a MicroSD card for maximum storage. Photo quality was good but not great. Images were slightly washed out and some objects looked grainy.
The V9m has a 1,000-contact phone book with room in each entry for five phone numbers and two e-mail addresses. You can save callers to groups and pair them with a photo and any of 12 polyphonic ring tones. Other essentials include a vibrate mode, a speakerphone, text and multimedia messaging, a calculator, a calendar, an alarm clock, a notepad, and a world clock. That's not a bad offering, but the Sprint phone has a few more organizer applications. Bluetooth is also onboard, and music fans and Verizon loyalists will be pleased--and somewhat surprised--to find a stereo profile.
You can personalize Verizon'sV9m with a greeting and a variety of wallpaper, screen savers, clock styles, and alert sounds. You can always get more options from Verizon via the WAP 2.0 wireless Web browser. Gamers get demo versions of two titles: Pac Man and Tetris. You'll have to buy the full versions for extended play.
Performance
We tested the dual-band (CDMA 800/1900; EV-DO) in San Francisco using Verizon's service. Call quality was very good. Voices sounded natural, and the reception was crystal clear, with none of the background hum we noticed from the Sprint model. Volume could be just the tiniest bit higher, but on the whole, the calling performance was outstanding.
On their end, callers said we sounded great as well. They did notice some slight wind noise at times, but otherwise they had no complaints. It was the same story with the speakerphone and Bluetooth headset calls. We had no real issues regarding either.
As with the Sprint V9m, the music quality on the Verizon model is quite agreeable. The single speaker at the bottom of the phone provided loud output and clarity. At the highest volume level, there was little of the distortion or bass-heavy effect that we've found on other music phones. It still won't replace your standalone MP3 player, but it does a decent job for short listening stints. Though Verizon's V Cast streaming media content is lacking when compared to Sprint's Power Vision offerings, Verizon's V9m handled the content better. There was still a fair amount of pixilation, but it made for a better viewing experience.
Verizon's Razr2 V9m has a rated battery life of 3.6 hours talk time and 12 days of standby time. Our tests revealed a talk time of 5 hours and 2 minutes. According to FCC radiation tests the V9m has a digital SAR rating of 0.71 watts per kilogram.

Sleek, better than the first

Summary: I'm new to Verizon Wireless and bought this as my phone. I must say that it is a very good cell phone. I'm on a Verizon Wireless premium plan so I get unlimited access to VCast and VZ Navigator and Mobile email and the phone is a joy to use these applications on. Even Mobile email is very good since I was used to smartphone email. Call quality has been excellent. Much better than I had with AT&T. Battery life seems to be about average. I can get about 3 hours talk time and about 3 days stanby. I haven't play around with its music capabilities yet, but I would recommend this phone as it is a big improvement over the first generation of razrs.

Beautiful Phone with Excellent Sound Quality and More...
by SamMoto on October 1, 2007
Pros: Sleek, flexible, state-of-the art. Camera and Large external screen. Voice commands. External buttons
Cons: Size and weight. Verizon's limited bluetooth functionality. The micro-USB connection.

Summary: I received the v9m two days ago as a replacement for the moto-e815 and I am really impressed. I admit I had to go through the manual to figure things out and I agree that some of the menus could have been presented in a more intuitive way. But when you customize the phone to your likings you will be satisfied. The phone is very sleek. It is longer and heavier than a regular Razr but a little thinner. With nothing protruding, you get an aerodynamic shape with round edges and corners like a Mercedes. They even covered the only hole the phone has for the micro-USB that is used for everything with a rubber piece so that when you look at the phone you don?t see where the charger or the headphone could be plugged. The external large screen is very impressive. The dark colors of the phone make the screen even more attractive.
I read the other reviews but this thing really rocks. I have no problem with the caller id. There is actually a feature under the Sound Settings called Talking Phone that converts this feature into a talking caller ID. But who wants that anyway?
One of the things that I liked is the customized shortcut keys. Under the Phone Settings, you will find the Short Cut keys that allow you to assign the four way navigations keys to any short cut. I assigned the left to Get It Now so that I have access to my multimedia stuff, the Up to the Calculator, the Right to Settings & Tools, and the Down to Calendar.
Contrary to the review, there is a feedback from the outside touch buttons. The button area vibrates under your finger whenever you touch one of the three buttons. It is true that the voice command button is redundant since there is one on the right-side to activate the voice command with the phone closed. I liked the voice command function and it is more intelligent than it used to be. You can easily voice dial people on your contacts list by using their first name. It works and this is great while driving. I also liked the organization of the contacts list. Now you have one entry per person even though you can have multiple phone numbers, and an email address for that person. A nice feature allows you to select a default phone number for the person so that when you voice dial, the correct number will be picked.
I don?t like the micro-USB connection especially that the phone doesn?t come with any cables, other than an adaptor for the headphone. I have several mini-USB cables but I had to search the net for a place to buy the micro-to-regular adaptor. The memory card requires the removal of the battery to get access to its slot. When I used the my memory card from the e815 phone, the v9m did not recognize any of its contents. I had to erase everything and then reinsert it. I took some pictures and saved to the card. I then removed the card and read it on the PC to see that the phone created a folder for the photos directly under the root directory which was better then the e815 that had a deeper tree. The only problem I found is when you get the information about the expansion memory card, you get a list of the photos, or music, but you cannot view, or listen to them from this function. This is different than the e815 and even different than what the manual says. You have to use the Get It Now option which gives you a list of all photos, and a list of all music currently on the phone. A little icon appears in the lower corner of each item that tells you where the item is actually stored. Not a bad idea.
I hate what Verizon does to the Bluetooth functionality. They disable any function that tries to use the phone as a communication device. Because of this you cannot use your PC to send, or even read, text messages through the phone. I don?t see their point.
In general, the Razr v9m phone is a great mobile phone. Voice quality is great. No dropped calls. Speaker phone and voice commands are excellent. The camera is great even without a flash. I would have preferred a smaller footprint. But it is still a cool phone.7 out of 7 users found this user opinion helpful.

Decent phone w/ some concerns
by guess1202 on September 7, 2007

Summary: I've had the phone for a few days and it's going back. My main concern is the battery cover. It's basically a thin piece of metalthat slips over the back. My issue is that if I put it down on a table and there's the least bit of water, there's a good chance it will slide in under the metal battery cover. Most covers have edges or a rise that make it more difficult for this to happen.
I've also had problems with the bluetooth staying connected to my laptop for file transfer. It repeatedly connects and disconnects.
The battery lasts almost the full day with maybe 10 minutes of conversation in all. It seems like it's much shorter than the battery on the E815.
The charging port is well covered and feels secure when closed but used a "micro" usb charger meaning yet another charger. The cover only comes off about 1/2" making it a pain to plug in as you have to hold the charging cover to the side at the same time.
The screen looks great and pictures are wonderful. Call quality is also great. If they had a rubber gasket around the edge of the battery cover I might consider keeping it but it's too big of a risk with this phone.6 out of 6 users found this user opinion helpful.

Summary: I replaced my Motorola 815 which I loved with the Vmax. I returned it because of poor reception and very poor battery life. The V9 has a much better battery and reception. I can use it for 2 days easily with average talk time. Great screens. I can read the time on the outside screen, which I could not with the Vmax. Slim design fits great in my pocket. The 815 was very bulky. So far, the reception has been very good and sound quality is excellent.

So much potential wasted
by Paradigm1381 on February 11, 2008
Pros: Great reception and call quality, good looks, exellent camera and bluetooth capability
Cons: VZW menu interface, poor battery life, software glitches

Summary: I would like to give this phone a 7. It does perform its most important role fairly well. Sound quality is great, bluetooth works very well with my Nokia headset and the phone gets good reception.
Additionally it is a good looking phone and the steel casing is asthetically and functionally pleasing.
Now that we've got the pleasantries out of the way. I'm very dissapointed with the phone's software. I suspect most if not all of the problems are due to VZW's universal interface because I didn't have any of these problems with the Motorola interface on my e815. There are long stretches of highway that I've hit in ND and IL where I have a strong signal but when I make a phone call I get a message telling me that the cellular provider I'm trying to reach is unavailable. The roaming software was up to date and my previous phone (e815) allowed me to make calls there. Verizon doesn't have a clue. So thats a pretty big strike if your phone can't even connect to 911 when your driving on long stretches of open highway in subzero temps.
My first Razr2 would randomly shut off when I closed it. It also had this glitch where sometimes the alarm would go off/sound and other times it would go off visually but not play the ringer...no matter what the volume was set at. Verizon replaced the phone and I no longer have the shutoff problem but I still can't rely on the alarm because it has shown the same behavior. Verizon doesn't have an answer and no software updates have been released. Thats a strike, I like using my phone as an alarm.
Then there are the small things that aren't necessarily problems but annoying nonetheless. The text messaging solution is a small nightmare. When you send a message you get a full screen display telling you you're "Sending Message". It last for a minimum 3 seconds but can take up to 10 sec or longer if the message fails or you have week signal. During this time you can't do anything on the phone. If you close it and reopen you'll think you're in the clear but the phone will be non-responsive and then you'll get the screen telling you text message sent. Then you can use the phone. If you send a media message you can forget about doing anything on the phone for at least a minute. But wait!, its gets worse. In this day and age of mass texting some genius decided to put a small limit on the inbox size, so right around 80 messages you will start getting an annoying "Your inbox is 85% full" message. The phone has 40mb of internal memory! So you might be thinking, why not just delete messages. Well deleting messages is an affair in itself. Hitting the delete button will buy you at least a 2 minute visit to the penalty box. A nice little logo happily rotates in the center of your screen while you fume at your inability to use your phone. Then theres the issue of the front screen. The front screen on this phone is bigger than some phones' main screen!, yet you can't read text messages on it as Motorola intended. Verizon decided listening to music and having an additional voice command button (there is already one of the side of the phone) was more important. A small envelope on the front screen alerts you to text message. It takes up maybe a quarter of the screen or less, leaving plenty of room to read the text or at least know who its from. But somehow that would just make too much sense. The only way to have "texter ID" is if you have a picture of the contact. That way you'll see their picture over the text icon.
You can still set shortcuts to the up, down, left, right buttons but for some reason you can no longer change the shortcuts for the 2 softkeys. Whats more, you can have to select shortcuts from a predetermined list, so if your application is not there your outta luck. Previous motorola phones were a lot more user friendly in that you cold set a shortcut for just about any application on the phone. And you could set it for almost any menu level too. So you could set your shortcut for the bluetooth menu or you could set it for a specific part of the bluetooth menu. Like on/off or device select. You can't do that anymore.
The calendar has also lost some functionality. No longer can you scroll through the months with the * and # keys. No, you have to cursor down through all the weeks of the month to get to the next one. What gives!?
Verizon has said they will allow me to exchange the phone for a different model outside of the expired return period since they can't fix any of the problems with the alarm or coverage, but for now I've decided to keep the Razr2 because I don't like any of verizon's other phones. What a waste, this phone has so much potential.4 out of 4 users found this user opinion helpful.

On the edge of greatness
by K.McRea on November 19, 2007
Pros: Sound qality, voice dialing/commands, camera, video, thin.
Cons: No text on front screen, battery, no "shift" key, minor function issues.

Summary: Buld it great, although the battery cover seems rather fragile. Beautiful screens, I dont care if they are "only" 65000 colors. They are far better than my wife's LG 8350. Phone functions, ie: call quality, voice dialing, bluetooth, reception are spectacular. Camera is very good and you can zoom even when it is set at its highest resolution (can't be said of the LG 8700, enV or 8350. Video is good, and can also zoom at both resolutions. Annoyances include a weak battery, plan on half per day with moderate use; when sending a picture message the camera comes back on when you close the phone; no reading text on the exterior screen ala 8350; not the easiest key pad I've ever used (the price for thin), no shift key for texting ( you can only cycle through ABC, Abc, abc; pain to connect to the charger (port cover),can't get the memory card out with out removing the battery; not the best vibrate; no "ring styles" like my E815; only one type of vibrate (my E815 had several). All in all a very good phone. I send pic and video messages and many text messages. I like iTap. The only other phone that has me interested is the Voyager, although I am not interested in the browser or TV and their extra cost. It has to be a phone first and I think this is where the Razr2 shines. Connect a Jawbone to it and slip its thin form in your pocket and no one will know you are on a cell phone. As said before, Motorola's voice commands are the best. Tried LG's and had issues. It even has a talking phone feature that will tell you who is calling before ringing. I did get the extended battery and it is still half as thin as my E815. As for music, I was able to bond it to my Logitech Freestyle Headphones and it sounds great. Now if I could only read text on the external screen and get a shift key. Motorola, ARE YOU LISTENING?!
Updated
After several cycles, the battery seems to be lasting longer. Still not great, but acceptable. They key pad has issues. Returned one phone, and this one is better. It seems that the metal sheet that covers the pad is not evenly attached to the buttons under it. The right soft key has a lengthy press and is different than the other buttons. The one I returned actually made a clicking noise and felt loose.Updated
I have reached the end of my 30 day exchange period and I am keeping the phone. There were key pad problems; I returned 2 where the sheet covering the key pad felt loose in the upper right corner. One actually made a clicking noise. Verizon made no issue with the exchanges and the one I have now is much better. Keep in mind that the others worked, but if I am going to have it daily for at least 2 years, I wanted it to be perfect.
Played with the Voyager, and was very close to getting it. The voice commands on it don't work nearly as well as the Motorola, rejections, repeats and errors. It is BULKY. Blue tooth with my Jawbone didn't work as well either (the first part of voice commands were cut off). It may have a better browser, but it was still slow. The Razr2 is a better phone, the Voyager is a better Media Device. I wanted a phone. I have iPods, TVs, computers etc for my media!4 out of 4 users found this user opinion helpful.

Serious problem

Summary: How long has it been since you had a cell phone without caller id? Well, that is what you get with Verizon's newest and most expensive cell phone, no caller id. When I took it back to the store they said it was a software problem that showed up first in the Razr Maxx Ve phone when it was introduced several months ago and still hasn't been fixed and it has now shown up in the V9M. If you miss a call, all you see is unavailable. You never see who is calling until you answer the call.
Updated
Turns out that the software problem that disables caller id seems to be a local problem. Caller id works in Atlanta but not in Houston. Also works with my car bluetooth. Verizon says there is a software patch being worked on. Will believe it when I see it. Battery life is also subpar.7 out of 12 users found this user opinion helpful.

Excellent once you dump the Verizon UI
by JustinHEMI05 on December 25, 2007
Pros: Look great, terrific sound quality.

Summary: Lets face it, you can't beat Verizon for their terrific coast to coast coverage. But thats where it ends. I don't know where they hire their egg heads from, but they are all idiots. Like many have said, why did they mess with the buttons on the outside? And, this phone has many features that are locked up by verizon. Why? Who knows, but their "engineers" sure do a number on verizon phones, and that verizon UI sucks. Of course, we all know that and with that said, this phone is AWESOME once you dump Verizons firmware. I flashed with phone with the US Cellular firmware (they don't mess with theirs, so its exactly as it came from motorola), and I absolutely love this phone now. Completely customizable, skinnable, ringtonable, etc etc etc. Its nice not being a slave to Verizon anymore.

Lots of minor annoyances
by welchrock on December 9, 2007
Pros: Superthin, superb Bluetooth connectivity

Summary: Unfortunately had to switch to this phone after having software-related Bluetooth issues with my LG VX8700. If wireless headsets are of no interest to you, DEFINITELY get the 8700. It is an amazing phone (read the user reviews) other than the strange and inconsistent Bluetooth issues (google this).
This said, the RAZR2 was my best option for a switch. For those who aren't very picky, It'll do the trick. But for those who use their phone a lot and demand perfection (especially for such a high cost), this phone will be a frustration.
Pros:
Super slim, large external screen, 2MP camera produces decent photos. Bluetooth is the quickest and most reliable of any phone I've used.
Cons:
Vibrate is about 40% of what it should be. Software is frustratingly slow and unresponsive. Included ringers and tones are barely usable - most are childish sound effects. Verizon has disabled a lot of external touch-screen capabilities of this model. External screen is large but essentially useless - it displays nothing more than what any other phone would. iTap text-predictor is not as good as T9, and takes a lot of getting used-to. Battery life is pretty bad, even fresh out of the box.
Overall the phone is average but there are a lot of better options out there. The first RAZR was a major step forward but this phone is no better than the smaller, comparable LG VX8600, which came out a year ago.4 out of 5 users found this user opinion helpful.

Summary: Up front, I really like Motorola phones. I've had Samsung, and haven't seen an LG phone that suits me. V9M is the first cell phone I've ever had that feels like a professional instrument in my hand, and not a cheap plastic toy.
I don't care for the Verizon U/I, nor do I approve of the disabling of Blue Tooth features...but it isn't enough to discourage me from buying the phone, or continuing my contract with Verizon. I have been delighted with their coverage and service since changing from Sprint 2 years ago.
After 2 weeks with this phone...I really like it!3 out of 4 users found this user opinion helpful.
