Motorola Razr: Unboxing video - first impressions, size comparison to the Galaxy S II and Galaxy Note

Quick heads up that the first of our Motorola Razr coverage is out on YouTube now for your viewing pleasure. Of course it's the obligatory unboxing video, replete with a size comparison to some of the other mobile hotness living at my place right now.

Naturally lots more content will be following, so keep it locked here to catch our incoming and indepth "real-user" review, this time coming courtesy of editor extraordinaire Onslaught86. Make sure to give him a follow in Twitter @onslaught86 if you just have to have his up-to-the-minute impressions and experiences with the device. I've been posting to my Twitter account (@NZtechfreak) with some insights of my own from the brief play I'm having with the device before shipping it off to Nik.

  2. Thanks, really great to see some of the competition side by side. Watching in a small window,the thing that jumps out at me is how wide the Razr is, and how gigantic the bezel around the screen is. Looks like it will be quite hard to reach around the screen with one's thumb. Wider than my two year old HD2??

    Is it me or do the widgets/home screens look like a random mess without any unified theme or design to them? I realise we can just install another launcher, but why don't more OEMs try and implement a better looking home screen with some real utility. I know HTC do this, and Samsung more and more these days, but for a high end handset like this I wish Moto would try harder (without bogging the phone down of course!).

  3. Have to agree, you'd think you'd want to put your best foot forward when a buyer first powers up the device right?

    In terms of the bezel, it is quite wide, I suspect though it's the 1800mA battery that is going edge-to-edge in the Razr, not the screen... Despite the width this phone feels great in the hand (although if you hadn't been using a Note for 10 days prior you might find it takes some adjustment!).

  5. @Paul: You will not be able to get the update via Kies, but you will be able to flash it on there (the files will be available at XDA-developers, we may mirror them here also). You will always get the updates quicker on Rooted Samsung handsets, because the firmwares always leak out before the Kies release.
