Good: Almost everything - especially form factor and battery life

Bad: Audio output quality on 3.5mm jack. May potentially be slower to receive updates (such as Android 4.2 which promises Wireless Display) due to the Intel chip.

Comment: 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. Perfect form factor and excellent battery life.

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 buy it.

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.

Good: very fast can't realy complain

Bad: Not found any yet

Comment: The reviews go on about the back of It who's looking at the back and it's not that bad Your hand is covering it anyway. This phone is good not as big as Samsung S2, but screen is as big and it's cheaper.

Go for it you won't regret it.

Good: Most things based on the review

Bad: Hard to comment as not used it yet

Comment: It does have the latest OS ICS. Jelly bean has not been launched yet on very many phones so can't be classed as the latest usable OS.

Not for me
