i love my razr...i'm sure you have a reason to say that, so i'm not doubting you...i just love mine...between the form factor, and battery life i have, i don't think i'd want a different phone.

I had three of them be defective! All brand new replaced under Warranty. I really got tired of it, and they compensated me for buying a different phone. I hear some people have had no problems and some have had up to 8 or 9 replaced.

But what I can say is that even when my Razr was working properly this is by far a much MUCH higher quality phone.

The only thing the Razr has I miss, was the slimmer 'sleek' look.

I have 233mb built in storage on mmy new one!
I can take 1024 x 768 res pics!
And it has a white LED flash for the camera!

my major was computer science and my minor was technical writing.

I was 2 math classes away from a minor in math, so I would have had a double minor had I not been so lazy. :o

In all fairness, my degree was like 145 credit hours, most degrees are only 122. So I was pretty burned out by the end.

heh, ok, it's not very impressive. Just a big hunk of silver metal. I think the most impressive thing we have running on it so far is a cube.

I'll try and grab a pic tomorrow with my camera phone.

Trade for car parts?

We have clients call in cases on tons more Motorolas than they do other handsets and many of our engineers swear by them as the best communication tool of all time... .but I see so many more failures with them primarily with hinges and various "shutdown" issues. It should be noted that the motorola units outnumber the other handsets we support by a large margin. Although I must say that I never hear complaints about Samsung and rarely do we get calls about the ready-link/ptt Sanyo equipment.

All in all I am pretty satisfied with my A900 (Blade) and my PPC6700 (PocketPC). Lori calls them Beauty and the Beast. :D My only gripe is that the streaming audio doesn't play through the Bluetooth on the A900, but I guess I can't have everything.

Yeah I've found Samsungs to be nearly indestructible, but a little rudimentary.

Oh I finally replaced stock Potenzas, and whoa! Amazing difference in sound and ride quality!

Already do. Hopefully we'll get some decent press coverage at E3.

hahah I figured as much.

I don't think we'll have anything decent running on the ps3 for a while. Probably not until fall.

Just wanted to complain about getting another speeding ticket. I don't get it. I didn't get one for 3 1/2 years, now I get 2 in a month. This one is in the neon. 49 in a 35. What a perfect way to ruin the Friday.

ouch...i didn't even know neons could speed. Sorry to hear that man...i hate getting tickets. At least you can Deferred one of them, and take a safety class for the other, hopefully.
