Mobile Phone Haven

Since every major carrier is getting a RAZR2 the good people at Gizmodo have broken down the differences between them. Yes, the technology and user interface on them will all differ.

CDMA- RAZR V9m, available on Sprint, Verizon, Alltel, US Cellular, and MetroPCS. Many differences here are on the “CLI,” the RAZR2’s haptic external touchscreen. Also, none of the CDMA versions have crystal speak, the tech that turns up volume of the earpiece when a bus rumbles by, while also noise cancelling the rumble in the microphone. (CDMA quality is better than GSM, and doesn’t need this, according to Motorola.)

Alltel & US Cellular’s V9m- have the CLI buttons in this layout: Recent Calls, Music, Messaging.

Verizon’s V9m- have VCast music stores, and it’s CLI buttons like so: Camera, Music, Voice.

Sprint versions- have its music store, TV, and a multimedia CLI like this: SprintTV, Camera, Music.
