Moto RAZR owners - first thoughts?

[ZeroPaladn]

Just want to see how other RAZR owners are liking their brand new phones! I'm having too much fun with mine, since my last phone was an Acer Liquid E, that had trouble running anything that required 3D graphics. now I'm full blown gaming on my phone. It's amazing. Still waiting for support from the huge developers (such as Gameloft, the XT910 isn't even in their list of supported phones).

Other than that, enjoying the new smexy phone!

What about you guys? How are you enjoying your new phone?

According to this website they are saying how if you turn on the image stabilisation while recording video there is some weird wiggle in the image, and when you take off image stabilisation its fine. They also provide videos to show what they mean and in the video with image stabilisation there is some weird wiggle or jerkines to the video.

Can you take some video with and without image stabilisation and show us both of the videos , or just do it yourself and tell us if you noticed the same thing?

Yeah, image stabilization seems to make the video "swim", looks very wavy, especially when you do close up shots. Wasn't aware of that at all, probably a software thing, lets see what the first update shows us :D

Ya its pretty strange that something like this would get by the testing phase of the phone, like this is not some mid range phone , its one of the best phones you can get currently. Hopefully as you said ther will be a software fix for this issue.

I picked one up on the weekend and have been playing since then. To the OP, my first impressions are good. I feels good, looks great, and is i pretty decent phone quality. I would certainly recommend one.

no doubt that this Moto Razr is a great spec'd phone with hardly a miss, but I feel they went thin for the sake of going thin in the first place, and a little too early.

Imagine:
1. This thin & being uniformed throughout, no hunchback.
2. proper lens, maybe even a liquid-lense technology to allow such a razr thing smartphone.
3. DC-HSPA+ radio - does it have one or I'm I clueless (think GS2X on Telus/T-Mobile USA).

If it could do this, or even LTE in say 8mths into the future with incredible battery life I'd think it would have a MUCH better success. However with that new personal device sync technology first pioneered by SE Android devices, yea that ANT+ tech - who knows what the potential could be.

Have you used the music player on it enough to say how well it works? I am really tempted to get the Razr but I love having a solid music player like the one on my iPhone. So I was just wondering if you could give me some info on it if you can, since no review really touches deep into that area of the phone. Thanks in advance!

I think the razr's great! It's my first android phone(I made the switch from iphone4). I have to say that I like the thicker ridge on the top it helps you to securely hold the phone. My only criticism would be that Skype doesn't work, at least not yet

Thanks for the link Jobber, I must have overlooked that page when I last read that review on GSM Arena and also thanks for the video, it seems pretty solid, thanks!
