I've been a Nokia guy for quite sometime but I have to admit, I like my Razr alot. Motorola has done alot with its interface and software. It shows in their sales. The problem I have with my Moto is that it truly does not have multiple info per record entry. ie more than 1 number and email listed under one contact. The only way around this is to designate a "main" contact number, have other info stored in the same name and show only the main contact numbers in the phonebook. It's not like in Nokia where you open up a name and see all the info listed right there. If you like ringtones, wallpaper, screensavers, modding, etc. motorolas have caught up tremendously. A few years ago, you can barely find any real motorola message boards. They're all over the place now. As far as handset signal performance goes, you really can't generalize one company over ther other. Each company has its good and bad phones. One thing I can say is that during our drive from Philadelphia to Syracuse, my wife's Nokia 6600 dropped signal many times. She switched to my Razr and it didn't drop signal once.It may have just been the stretch of road we were on or it may really have been the handset. I won't know for sure unless I drive through again under the same weather conditions. - - T-Mobile-US on Google Groups: http://groups.google.com/group/T-Mobile-US _ _ Yahoo!
