Complaints about Razor are:
1. Low RAM <12MB vs. 40MB on triplets
I thought it was 5MB ..but 12MB is plenty for me
2. Camera is as good as triplet's
what is triplet's?
but then ultra-compresses the jpg and you can't tweak that.
3. Stock ringer can not be changed and bluetooth headset enabled forces
default ringer for even for customized phonebook entries.
I don't use ring tones so that isn't an issue
Then of course there are the issues of Verizon hobbling the features if
you have them as a provider. This is why I switched from Verizon to
Cingular before buying the razor.
I have AT&T at the moment with no remaining contract, which is owned by
Cingular, but not on their national network. I need to upgrade to get rid
of roaming.
I paid $0 in the end by buying via Amazon with 2yr contract with one
caveat in that you CAN NOT port an existing number if you buy Cingular
(and only them) via Amazon a fact which is buried elsewhere under the LNP
FAQ. Once you get the rebate which takes about 4 months you can port so
you'd need a place to park your old number in the mean time.
Amazon has even a better deal now. $150 rebate with a free headset. But you
are right, it looks to me like they won't let me transfer my existing
Cingular number.... it has to be a new line of service.

But they don't really address it directly. To wait four months for the
rebate and keep my existing line cost me $148..... so I am not really ahead
unless I dump my old number. I wonder how they verify activation... by the
phone serial... or the phone number? It is confusing, I wish I could call
and ask somebody
thanks for the tips and advice!
