Any reason why the battery situation gets its own heading?

Just mentioning this since none of the iPhone reviews I've seen on this site never singles that out as a major problem.

Because its not an iPhone, its held to higher standards.

Seriously? Starting a flame war?
The real reason they mention it is that pretty much every Android phone ever made has had a removable battery. It's unique that the RAZR does not have a removable one.

Will it come complete with Motorola's promise to offer future versions of Android, and then not offer year old updates?

I have a Motorola Atrix, for which the UK (US owners were updated almost half a year ago) update to gingerbread, (that's right it came out last year) has still not been released. Buy at your own peril, I wouldn't do it again.

Oh and I've had it replaced twice in the six weeks I've had it. Reliability maybe an issue to.

Moto is owned by Google now. I'm not saying expect change over night, but I would imagine instant updates like Google's own nexus phone eventually. I don't believe this phone has Moto-blur, but in fact has default Android, which is a step in the right direction. However it still has a locked boot-loader, but that's a Verizon request.

Nice picture the one showing a ver dirty Samsung compared to a shiny new Motorola! Thats not fare! The Samsung one is a very good device, the picture demonstrates that this is not a review but a paid advertise ha ha ha!

If i get an android, this will be the one!!

[JeremyChristner]

I thought apple claimed that they could not put all this is an iphone. Looks like they lied. You can and this droid razr just may be an iphone killer.

What happens when it locks up & you NEED to remoive the battery???

[lithium451]

What's with the pointy corners?

(Thanks Apple lawyers?)

I might be able to live with the shape, but the non-removable battery makes it a non-starter for me.

[karthiq]

Any phone which needs its battery to be removed time and again for whatever reason,doesn't deserve to be bought in the first place.

A smartphone should have also have smart hardware not just smart software.

This is my opinion only and i dont intend to start a fanboy war in any way,shape,size or whatever

Agreed. That is definitely not "Fare".
