So, do you folks think this is the last of a long line of Razrs? In a touch screen world, is there room for another Razr?

If you do the simple math, that means 4.2in screen, and I don't exactly recall any other phone has 4.2in screen at this moment, hence these Moto phones drain power like fuel for SUV.

If fuel economy / battery power is your main concern, you should not even consider this phone in the first place (like an SUV).

I also use my V8 and V9 (yes, I use both on different networks) quite lightly, and battery may not last for a day as well. My advice is simply keep a USB cable at work, and charge the phone at home at nite. That way you should have continuous power.

Will battery be dead soon? By that time chances are you will switch to other devices.

I liked the GPS, but I finally settled for Karma QA1 for qwerty keypad.

I have got a v9x for just over one week. So far the biggest disappointment about this phone is the short battery life, could hardly hold 8 hours on one charge under very light usage (like making at most 20 minutes phone call, taking a few pictures, checking out a few missed calls, etc, and I haven't started using it playing music, video games or connecting internet). I have tried to follow some battery power saving rules only to get more frustrated. The external touch screen buttons also function in a very awkward and illogical order setting. And the unavailability of MPT software ------ I am really beginning to lose my patience and thinking of returning it for a change.

With the V9, you can only listen to music from the external screen. I hope that helps.

> In reply to tracy @ 2009-05-16 10:55 from 0p02Not sure about V9X, as I only have V9.

V9 uses BX50 battery, which has higher capacity than the BX40 being used in V8/U9.

Battery performance would be better than V8 if you only use the phone on 2G network. Otherwise, the use of 3G network also consumes some good battery power.

Just keep in mind Moto V8/V9 series offers some of the largest dual screens of any phone on the market, which has the drawback of consuming much battery power.

You can think of them like SUV's...most people know about the fuel economy of SUV's but still buy them.
