Imitating the Motorola RAZR

The Motorola RAZR is a very popular phone due to its slim design and big screen. I know because I have it. Samsung has now come out with a RAZR wannabe called the MM-A900 (SPH-A900) and it's available from Sprint shown below.




Compare this with the RAZR V3:




I haven't seen any word about whether it's available in Canada. CNET has done a review here and it seems it doesn't really unseat the RAZR. It does improve on some aspects of the RAZR though, like a 1.3MP camera, swiveling lens and built-in flash.

It would be kind of nice if the next RAZR could do some short clips of video so if I see something I can quickly make a video, that would be something that I would use. I don't know why there is no cable to connect from the RAZR to the computer though, apparently if you want that it costs to get the cable. You're already paying for the RAZR, and most cell phones do include a data cable. I know you can transfer through Bluetooth but for most people, their computers don't have Bluetooth and having to buy a Bluetooth USB dongle or adapter will cost about maybe $50 Canadian. If you transfer a lot, then Bluetooth is really slow and a cable is much better.

However, I somehow still like the RAZR V3 better, maybe I am biased because I have one.
