Motorola has acquired a reputation for phones that look good ever since it produced the RAZR, and the 09h does not disappoint in that regard. The phone seems to be made of plastic, but has a comforting rubber-like feeling to it, making it easy to hold. Although a bit on the bulky side (as most OWERTY phones are), the 09h is still slim for a smartphone at a mere 11 .8mm and looks sleek. The phone comes with a very well-designed keypad that manages to be large enough to allow users to type away without pressing any keys accidentally, and still retain a compact form. Motorola has also replaced the 08's ugly plasticky D-pad with a smooth metallic circular dial for on screen navigation. Some might be disappointed at the 2. 4inch display, especially given the larger displays featured on the likes of the Nokia e61 i. But the 09h's display is still',pretty handy, unless one wants to stare at really long documents or web pages. It also has an ambient light sensor that adjusts the screen's brightness depending on the light in which the phone is being used, There are also five dedicated keys at the bottom of the phone for one touch access to the calendar, contacts, music, camera and speakerphone. One of the most impressive features of the phone is its speed of operation, Motorola has used a more powerful processor as compared to the one in the Q8 and it definitely shows. There's also plenty of memory to go around - 256 MB Flash ROM and 96 MB SDRAM - ensuring that there is little lag in running applications and also in keeping more than one app running at the same time. Speaking of apps, Motorola seems to have decided to step away from some of the traditional software that comes with Windows Mobile. Instead of sticking with Internet Explorer for browsing the Web, Motorola has used Opera Mobile as the default browser. And the difference shows, as Opera is not only quicker but is also capable of rendering just about any Web page and also offers tabbed browsing (something rarely seen in mobile environments). And there is also the matter of the office suite. Unlike most other manufacturers, Motorola has opted not to go with the Office Mobile package that is a standard feature of Windows Mobile phones and has loaded Documents To Go, a rival office suite on the Q9h. Once again, users won't be complaining, because unlike Mobile Office, Documents To Go actually allows one to view, edit and even create files in MS Office formats, and also has a zip application built into it. The phone comes with Bluetooth connectivity and also supports HSDPA (although that is not yet available in India). However, we were disappointed by the absence of Wi-Fi, some¬thing which would have made the phone irresistible. Although an enterprise device, the Q9h does well on the entertainment front too. Its 2.0megapixel camera can capture and replay video at a respectable 30 frames per second. The sound quality is good too, over both loudspeaker and earphones, and is among the best we have seen in the enterprise segment (although we cannot see Nokia or Sony Ericsson losing sleep over it). Battery life is excellent we used it thoroughly for two days on a single charge. As a final touch, Motorola has added a 1 GB card as well as an additional battery and an emergency charger that allows users to charge the device up to three times, when they are not near a conventional power source. All of which makes it an excellent value for money at Rs. 19,495. Those looking for an enterprise device with a full QWERTY keypad and running Windows Mobile could try the HTC S71 0 which is available for Rs 14,900 or the i-mate JAQ3 which comes for Rs. 16,900.

Features of the new Moto RAZR2 :Slimmer yet stunning Thin is (still) in: Motorola made the RAZR2 profile even sharper, shaving two millimeters from the original RAZR. | |
Strong as steel Not even scratching the surface : The huge exterior lens is made with chemically hardened glass to be more scratch resistant. An open and shut case : Motorola tested the cast aluminum hinge in more than 100,000 lab tests to help ensure that every time a customer flips open the device, it will work perfectly. Software smarts Software smarts: RAZR2 V8 runs on Linux/JavaTM, giving Motorola entry to the next generation of mobile architecture. | |
More intelligent interface: The RAZR2 V8 has a completely redesigned User Interface (UI) so consumers can search contacts even faster. This eliminates duplicate entries for the same person while allowing contacts to have multiple numbers. The main menu is customisable, so consumers are never more than 2-3 clicks away from favourite applications, and even messaging is easier; RAZR2 automatically recognizes what type of message consumers are sending. Speed thrills: With the new ARM 11 processor, processing speed is 10 times faster than the original RAZR and with high-speed USB 2.0 it only takes 2-3 seconds to transfer a song. Now hear this: Motorola's innovative CrystalTalk technology on the RAZR2 automatically adjusts audio to ensure clear calls even in a noisy environment. It answers back: RAZR2 V8 "talks" to consumers by speaking the interactive menu, contact lists, emails and messages aloud -- a feature developed for people with visual impairments, but convenient for in-car use or when you are on the go. Tempting texts: Without even opening the phone, Motorola RAZR2 users can rely on the large external screen to read messages and reply with pre-programmed text messages. Play on: With either 512MB or 2GB of memory, the new Motorola RAZR2 rocks with stereo Bluetooth wireless technology and enough storage for approximately 400 songs on the 512MB version and up to 1500 songs on the 2GB version. Manage with ease: Microsoft Windows Media Player 11 compatibility helps consumers easily purchase, synchronize and transfer their music library to their Motorola RAZR2 in only a few minutes. In some models music can be downloaded over the air at near-broadband-like wireless data speeds. Good vibrations: The external display incorporates Motorola’s breakthrough "haptics" technology which provides users with vibrating feedback in response to their finger taps. This, combined with the virtual music keys, allows the user to effortlessly control their music. Just browsing: The Web-browsing experience, including a full HTML browser, in the new Motorola RAZR2 takes advantage of its stellar internal display and high-speed wireless data connections for faster, bigger and richer surfing. Built-in email functionality gives easy, PC-like access to both personal and corporate email accounts. Better mobile search: Debuting on the Motorola RAZR2 family of devices, Motorola has incorporated Google's powerful new mobile search experience, which helps users quickly and easily get the information they need, bringing them highly relevant results with an absolute minimum of clicks and enabling them to add frequently accessed content to their Google homepage. Picture this…and this: The multi-shot feature on the handset's 2.0 megapixel camera automatically snaps up to eight new pictures so users can choose the best image from a complete series of pictures. |
There's nothing technically wrong with RAZR2 V9 Ferrari Special Edition but if you want to Ferrari-fie your phone there are cheaper and better ways of doing it. For free.
4.19.0Design
When Motorola gave us the RAZR V3 oh so many moons ago it was the must have phone. It was slim, sexy and metallic. Topping it off it had not one colour screen but two colour screens. For a while the orders poured in and Motorola found itself wallowing in vast vats of cash. But after three years and countless derivatives, including the hideously gaudy Dolce and Gabbana version, last year Motorola finally coughed up a successor, the RAZR2 V9.
It's a nice looking phone, slimmer than ever before, but, for a world caught in the stampede to the latest touchscreen creation from the house of Apple, it wasn't enough to re-capture the zeitgeist. So, Motorola has gone back to its tried and true tactic and given us the Ferrari Special Edition.
So what does the extra US$89 over the standard RAZR2 V9 give you? Well it's piano black for one and there are red highlights on the lovely metallic keypad. There's a chequered pattern on the front posing, we guess, as imitation carbon fibre. A similar pattern adorns the rear battery cover and is presumably there to remind us about finishing flags or some such. Naturally there's a plethora of Ferrari material scattered around the place, like the Ferrari prancing horse shield on the back, ringtones and a set of animated wallpapers and screensavers. But the pièce de résistance are the sounds of Ferraris whooshing by every time the phone is started up or turned off — this should give everyone fair warning that there's a Ferrari fanatic in their vicinity.
Features and Performance
We could live with all this Ferrari showmanship if this phone delivered in one of two key areas: enhanced features and performance, or Ferrari-led design. Alas this phone has neither. It is, for all intents and purposes, apart from the cosmetic differences we've listed above, the same as other Motorola RAZR2 V9s.
Conclusion
So for your hard earned you get a good 3G phone — for a more complete run down of the ins and outs of the RAZR2 V9, read our review of the original phone — but one that doesn't do anything to justify the price increase over run-of-the-mill RAZR2s.
Unfortunately this phone is a damning indictment on what's wrong with Motorola at the moment: a company bereft of any ideas or creativity that can do little at the moment but relive past glories and slap other more successful brands on its own products in the vain hope that it will somehow bask in its reflected glory. Little wonder then that the company lost US$1.2 billion last year. What's even sadder is that Ferrari let itself be used in such a manner. Thanks to the wealthy playboys in Russia, the Middle East and China, the Maranello firm is not suffering a liquidity crisis, so it has no good excuse for putting its name to such a money grubbing venture.
If you're a Ferrari tragic and just have to show your love for the prancing horse on your mobile device, download some Ferrari wallpapers — there are plenty available on the Ferrari website — and install them on your phone. You can even do it on a normal RAZR2 V9.
