Are we ready for the return of the flip phone?

Maybe you have to feel it without the security attachment. Device definitely doesn't feel cheap(at least to me). Has a nice weight to it. Not a big fan of the screen ratio. May just have to use it for a bit.

Yeah, agreed being tethered to a cord does make it hard to get a really good feel for it. I'm def looking forward to hearing from real world users, shouldn't be long. I could have bought one today as they were in stock at the Verizon store I was in so they are available and the dude was dying to sell me one. After seeing it in person I was immediately wondering if they couldn't have used a less fingerprint prone surface for the front tho. I wonder if there is any type of cases for these. I remember seeing some really nice leather cases for flip phones of yesteryear.
Sounds like yours is coming tomorrow, let us know how you like it

I do think the Achilles heel of the Razr will be battery life.

That was one of the big problems with the original Razr (the V3). The other big problem was the terrible receiver, but since the radios are totally different these days, that probably won't be a problem. (And personally, the thinness was a problem for me - I could hold most of the phones of the day between my head and my shoulder - the Razr was too thin for that. But that's a problem with almost all cellphones today.)

Yea I received it yesterday. Was actually the case recieved today. I like the outside screen features a lot. Has a nice solid build. Speakers leave much to be desired and fingerprint is nice. My main complaint are the cameras. They suck in every single way lol. Can't remember the last time I had a camera on a phone that was this bad.

Cool, one of the early birds with the new Razr. I think the camera being lesser than the pixel’s was going to be pretty much of a forgone conclusion. Hope you can adjust. You said speakers, I believe it’s one speaker from what I’ve been hearing, maybe why it doesn’t sound as good as pixels.
Curious what type of case you got. Like a pouch?

No I have the otterbox case which I don't like because it really makes the phone feel plastic, but afraid to rock it caseless in public. One thing for sure is that it's a head turner. Everyone notices that it's a razr. Someone actually thought I was rocking the original one because they saw it closed lol. The camera is a serious let down. They actually sent an update last night for the camera but it's still not up to par with the competition.

Are you able to install GCam?

Yeah, checked out that case and wow, pricey at $80usd.
The actual phone is already plastic but this case from pics anyway doesn’t look to bad. Pretty well done but of course I don’t have the razr in hand and hard to speculate from a pic. I notice it does take care of the fingerprint issue for the outside front of the phone except for the glass of course. I’m sure some of the phone thinness is sacrificed tho.
To bad about the camera, nothings as good as the pixel but I’d think it wouldn’t be that bad.

I saw a vid of it . I’m just not interested in a foldable type phone. The $1500.00 price tag doesn’t help . Ha

I was pretty interested till I saw it and tried it out a bit. That took the wind out of my sails. It’s cool just not $1500 worth of cool. If it was under a grand I’d probably get it.

It doesn't look horrible. Keeps the astetics and not too bulky to be otterbox, but the phone looks much better without the case.
