RAZR 2 V8 Prototype Reviewed (Verdict: Breathes New Life Into Motorola)

Mobileburn has been playing with a prototype the much ballyhooed RAZR 2 for the past couple of days, and there's not much of a surprise here: they like it quite a bit.

The haptic-feedback external touchscreen steals the show button-wise, leaving no doubt that the phone has registered your commands. Generally speaking, the buttons all around have gotten a substantial usability upgrade thanks to the extra space afforded by the phone's added length; the lone exception is the camera shutter button, which for some reason was fairly loose.
