And how about sound quality on music and video playback and of course call quality?
Is the camera really that bad as what gsmarena says?
I think the Razr i's the best phone out there with a 2ghz intel processor. But gsmarena gave a bit some bad review with the camera.

I have this phone and it works awesome.

About gamming, I have played Dead trigger and Sky gamblers and it works smooth with any problem. You can see this video of how it works with NFS: bitly.com/STySAh
About capacity, you can see this comparation: bit.ly/YPw60O with the iphone 5. It will surprise you. Obviously, it's no so good like iphone5 or S3, but it's 200-250 €/$ cheaper and in two weeks it hasn't lag any time for me. And it doesn't heat up like a Galaxy phone.
The size it's perfect for my hand (similar size than the iphone 5).
Camara works good. It's not the best, but in the normal photographs the quality it's more than aceptable. You can see another comparation about that: bitly.com/UxWzLc
3G and wifi runs perfectly, you can easy turn on and off, and it conect automaticaly.(I live in Spain)
The problems I have find:
-I can't turn off the sound of the camera.
-Adobe Flash doesn't works.
And the best of the best, the battery lasts two days with any problem, using: phone, whatsapp, music, playing, flipboard, etc.

I'm an iPhone user and this is my first experience with Android. I got interested in this phone, having to be the first smart phone with an intel processor. It may seem very fast but it's actually overrated, the phone lags when switching between home screen, apps menu, page manager and vice versa. Quad-core phones like the s3 are far better. The camera response is slow and the battery life is not long lasting, still better than iPhone 5 though. The phone only runs on 3G and there's no option to switch between 2G and 3G. The software doesn't accept flash, I don't know why but it doesn't allow me to install it. The touch response is good and the typing experience is amazingly excellent!

> In reply to Anonymous @ 2012-11-03 03:50 from t7Xk - click to readDont know. Maybe. I was referring to SM North Edsa, as you may have heard they have joined with the warehouse club and is now the bigger than megamall and MOA (and #3 biggest in the world).

So what i meant to say is that there is a Motorola sales stand in SM North Edsa, in The Annex. I would not know about Mall of Asia since i live a bit far from Pasay, not going there so often.

Im a bit confused whether to get this phone or not. gsmarena review showed vital weakness on this phone's performance but user opinions here says otherwise. :(

2 weeks with this monster and it still surprises me. Awesome battery life, looks to drool over, camera is awesome for an 8mp (snowboarder here, love the multi shot and how clear each pic is)...hell, why go for hype? choose functionality! 2ghz Intel processor makes you laugh of angry birds lovers while you reap the concrete on NFS or while shooting your way in any first person shooter. Very hardly am i gonna leave this MotoGooInt partnership and choose an over-rated, over-hyped, new-model-every-year piece of junk. 4 thumbs up (yes, feet included)!

Perfect form factor and excellent battery life. Despite being a bit of a geek, this was the first smartphone I've bought, because it ticks all the boxes that no other smartphones have so far.

Unfortunately there is a flaw in the handset that completely lets it down for me. The problem is high levels of hiss / interference when a speaker is connected to the 3.5mm jack while audio is not playing. There is also an unpleasant thump when the audio output turns on (i.e. immediately prior to playing audio) or off (a few moments after audio output is stopped).

The hiss/EM interference noise reduces significantly immediately before and after playing audio i.e. seems to go down to an acceptable level once audio chip is taken out of 'sleep' mode.

This happens regardless of whether the device is connected to wall socket. I tried various things - temporarily disabling MusicFX app and doing a factory reset – no luck unfortunately.

I have had the issue now with two handsets, both from Handtec (who have been excellent in terms of dealing with my return promptly and fairly). Currently I suspect this is an issue affecting all Razri handsets, unless someone can confirm otherwise?

I am sending mine back for a full refund. If Motorola fix the issue and someone is able to confirm that it's been resolved, I'll up the review to 5 stars and make my purchase.

If you are one of those people who would never connect your phone to anything except cheap earphones, and you're not fussed about audio quality when playing through speakers/decent headphones, I can strongly recommend this phone.
