Motorola Razr2 Espresso Review

Continuing to build on the success of the Razr series, the Motorola Razr2 takes all of the strong points that past incarnations embodied, and then places a firm foot forward and brings the Razr line back into the forefront of technology. Although many critics may dismiss the entire line as simply being one rehashed model on top of another, the truth is that, with the Motorola Razr2 Espresso at least, there are marked differences that set it apart from any of its predecessors.

Features of the Motorola Razr2 Espresso

What most people demand from the Razr line is a slim look that is still within realistic parameters of the word ‘functional’. Somehow, the Razr2 Espresso does this, and ends up being even slimmer than the original. Not only that, but due to its steel casing, it also has a sturdy feel and a glossy, polished finish.

Further enhanced is the external display, which was a mere inch or less on the original Razr, and is now about 2 inches of fully functional touchscreen. Not only is this a vast improvement on what was already a nifty little feature, but it adds so much more convenience, especially for certain tasks such as using the media player (that of course, the Razr2 Espresso has). By merit of this external display, browsing music and playing or pausing has never been more simple or effortless, and is truly one of the best uses of external screens yet.

Even a camera is included, however it is not meant to be a feature on which the Razr2 Espresso hinges upon, and measures up at a mere 2.0 megapixels with no included flash. Starkly in contrast with most other high end mobile phones that are all trying to fit in 5.0 megapixel cameras, the Razr2 seems to get by without it, and implies that Motorola intends that this line be sold on strengths other than simply camera quality.

A Mobile Phone for Mobile Phones

Truly, the Motorola Razr2 Espresso does seem to, bizarrely enough, be concentrating on its mobile phone aspects as opposed to additional functions. Naturally, it does offer most functions, but it does not seem necessary to concentrate on them to the point of ignoring the real focus that every mobile phone should have: the mobile phone itself.

Coming up against stiff competition as a result of this, and further criticism due to the nature of the entire Razr line in building up on past strengths rather than revamping entirely, somehow the Razr2 Espresso has seen off most rivals and continues to gain ground.

Perhaps it is the fact that, well, it is a Razr, and they have a stunning reputation backing them up, or maybe it could simply be the fact that there are many out there that actually aren’t too fussed about the megapixel resolution of the camera, but would rather have an elegant mobile phone that isn’t also a miniature supercomputer and chess champion all in one. Either way, the Motorola Razr2 Espresso is certainly one of the good mobile phone deals available.
