Hi I am seriously considering purchasing this phone as i loved the V3.

First of all is the V8 any good? Also looking on the CPW website it says that it is in black but I have only ever seen gold or a very dark blue colour, does anyone know if there is a black one or do they just mean the dark blue one?

Thanks

The Motorola RAZR 2 V8 does come in a black which they have called the Expresso.

I'd avoid this phone to be honest.

I love motorolas, my last 5 phones have been motorolas, but this one, has been a huge disappointment.

It has shocking battery life. I charge it overnight, take it too work, and despite me hardly using it at work, it's done to one bar around 4pm.

And it's a bit heavy for a phone of those dimensions.

Hi buy the phone, battery life is good lasts me 3 to 4 days, using it frequently. If you use bluetooth it does drain the battery, but then so do most phones if left connected. All in All a great phone. The phone is lightweight and very slim, not many phones in its class can beat it for looks and functionality. The interface is very different from the V3, but once you get used to this, it so much easier to navigate and use.
