"We are excited to pair our advanced multimedia capabilities and network speeds with this beautifully designed wireless phone," said John Garcia, senior vice president of product management and development for Sprint. "Customers will find Sprint's version of RAZR2 to offer exclusive video content that is both enjoyable and relevant. They will also appreciate that this device is the first clamshell in the industry to provide the option of watching video on both the internal or external display."

The design of sprint RAZR2 has a sleeker, more sophisticated look and feel than its predecessor. At the core of sprint RAZR2 is a stainless steel internal frame to help provide strength and durability. The large exterior lens is made with chemically hardened glass to be more scratch resistant.

Both the internal and external screens on the sprint RAZR2 are significantly larger than the original sprint RAZR– external is 2.0" and internal is 2.2" – with twice the resolution. The external display incorporates Motorola's breakthrough haptics technology, which provides users with vibrating feedback in response to their finger taps. This allows the user to effortlessly control their music, video and camera without opening the flip.

InfoSync reviews the Motorola RAZR2 V9m sprint cell phone and writes, "We got some very strange colors out of our V9m's camera, mostly purple. Images were very noisy, blurry and pixilated around the edges. We noticed lots of ghosting around more distant objects. Also, again the default setting stymied us, as the camera twists into landscape by default. You can adjust to portrait, but it took us a moment to figure it out. The camera is accessible from the external touch screen, but for many options, like exiting the camera, you have to open the flip and work it from the inside. Editor functions were impressive, with red-eye reduction and some funny face filters. And, if you decide to send your pics, you can do so over Bluetooth or e-mail, no sweat."

MobileBurn reviews the Motorola RAZR2 V9m sprint cell phone and writes, "The camera is a decent 2 megapixel shooter that has a very good automatic white balance system. While it lacks the simple d-pad controlled settings of some other Motorola devices, all of the manual settings are still available in a fairly straight forward menu system. The fixed focus lens appears to be setup for photographing people rather than landscapes, and most people shots turn out reasonably well. The camera also works fairly well in darker situations, though not as well as do most dedicated point and shoot cameras. The camera can also be used to record QVGA resolution video clips that can be sent to other people via email or even used as a video ringtone."
