Typical price: £240
What is it: Stylish, ultra-thin clamshell phone with touch-sensitive outer screen
What we think: The V8 is shinier, slimmer and has a better interface than any Motorola phone since the V3, but it's still missing a few features

We like:
Thin design; large external colour screen; vibrating feedback on the external touchscreen
We don't like:
Lack of 3G; no expandable memory card slot; 2-megapixel camera is dated
CNET UK judgement:
Motorola has finally cracked it and made a slimmer Razr, with funky, easy-to-use menus, that measures just 12mm thick when shut. Our only niggles are that it lacks the solid feel of the original Razr, that the camera could be better and it could do with 3G, but we're glad to see that Motorola is finally back
