Motorola RAZR

Thinking of buying a new cell phone and reached the Motorola RAZR Black.

Looks nice and sleek.

Also reached this market and marketshare study. Interesting to see that nearly 4/5ths of India is using Nokia.

Well, come to think of it. I have been using a cellphone for more than six years and in all these years I have used four cellphones. The first one was an Ericsson and it lasted 2 days. The next one was a Nokia that lasted 15 months. The next one was another Nokia, the Nokia 5110. That lasted 44 months. I currently have Har Jeb Mein Rang, Nokia 2600 which has lasted me more than 15 months now.

Nokia gives excellent phone quality which to me means superior battery time, better reception in basements and weak signal areas and greater voice clarity. An added bonus in Nokia is the highly intuitive and simple menu. That is something that is missing in most other cellphones. I am a very functional man and value function over style. I can afford to buy cellphones that cost many times more than the ones I buy, but I just cannot bring myself to spend money on a camera phone, polyphonic ringtones and costly MMS devices and services. It is not a question of money, it is more a question of "Do I need it or do I need to talk?" with me!

My fascination with the Motorola RAZR may be short-lived or may be I will buy it for the sleek looks :)

  1. oh it is indeed a really really sleek phone. functional also. but some ppl find it too thin and keys too invisible to feel comfortable with it. my idea- flick a frnd's moto razr for a day and try it. if you love it its a great fone to use !
    word of caution : motorola has opposite funtional keys than nokia...very annoying to get used to initially.

  2. " Nokia gives excellent phone quality which to me means superior battery time, better reception in basements and weak signal areas and greater voice clarity. An added bonus in Nokia is the highly intuitive and simple menu "

    arre sir leave this perception now...ok i accept the battery thing, but apart from that in mid and high range phones there is no difference in signal reception and voice clarity b/w Nokia, SE, Samsung or Motos! plus talking abt menus, the newer phones all have complex options due to huge functionality and in any case the fingers get in tune with ur cell in just about a week :D n hey i have sent u a mail about cells. Waise u neednt spend money on services, all the ringtones, MMS, wallpaper, games, organizers, anti viruses and everthing u ever wanted on ur phone can be easily loaded from comp!!!
