MOTOROLA V9 BLACK (UNLOCKED) With CrystalTalk™ Technology. The famous RAZR is back -- again. This time its been completely redesigned from the ground up. Aptly dubbed the MOTORAZR2, the V9 edition boasts HSDPA connectivity, a stunning metal and glass finish, and touch sensitive music controls that disappear when not in use. Aesthetically, the MOTORAZR2 is once again a pretty stunning device. Its been built using a combination of plastic, metal and glass and feels extremely solid. The downside is that its larger and heavier than we expected. Despite this, the design is wonderfully sleek and stylish, although the gloss finish does attract plenty of fingerprints. The keypad is once again a flat layout, but tactile feedback is impressive and the controls are well laid out. A real highlight is the touch sensitive music controls, which only become visible at the bottom of the external display when the music player is opened. They are very responsive and are naturally helped by the large 2in display -- by far the best external display weve reviewed on any flip phone. The 2.2in internal display is also noteworthy for a flip handset, displaying bright, vivid colours and generally being a delight to view.
