"upper end-budget phone"

I have to admit, the phrase "upper end-budget phone" sounds like it came straight out of the Simpsons. Though it did put a huge smile on my face, I think it might be a bit of a self-contradiction. I'm not so sure there are different tiers of within the term "budget". Or am I the only one that thinks this sounds a bit funny? [pd]

i wouldn't say it sounds funny, but it does sound innapropriate. if i could afford it, how is it upper :end-budget? it cost me 100$ after rebate, an appropriate price for a well-designed phone —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 66.97.208.139 (talk) 16:24, 6 December 2006 (UTC).[reply]

I just have no idea what "upper end-budget phone" means. Does it imply that it's expensive?
Anyway, I'm pleased to see that the phrase no longer appears in the article. JonnyH (talk) 15:09, 24 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The V3 spec list states that the internal memory is 10 MB, however, the reference ([12] - GSM Arena) states it's just 5.5 MB. I think the latter is correct, but I'm not sure. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 192.100.130.8 (talk) 10:45, 5 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

What is an "upper-end budget phone"? Well, it's a phone that has upper-end features and (most importantly in this case) looks but is priced at a budget level. 124.197.60.79 (talk) 04:01, 26 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

worldwide popularity

Regarding this: "The popularity of RAZR in the United States was never replicated worldwide. While at first successful as a fashion phone abroad, its newer and cheaper models never became iconic." I see that a citation is needed and, well, I don't know about the popularity of this phone in every country, but it was very popular in Brazil. Not only as a fashion phone, but a really popular one. --187.34.42.207 (talk) 01:17, 24 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Merge Motorola Razr2?

Since practically all other RAZR's are covered here (RAZR, RAZR DROID, RAZR3...), it might be logical to include RAZR2 here too, instead of it having a separate page... --Arny (talk) 05:36, 7 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Motorola RAZR i

I think this (Motorola RAZR i) may be a model that was/is only available for the UK market (http://reviews.cnet.co.uk/mobile-phones/motorola-razr-i-review-50009262/) but am unclear. Can anyone update the article to contain this model? Is it simply another model rebranded/tinkered with? LookingGlass (talk)

Verb tenses?

Some parts of the article uses past tense to refer to discontinued models. Other parts use present tense. -megsaint — Preceding unsigned comment added by Megsaint (talk • contribs) 20:05, 26 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Notable TV occasions

'Notable TV occasions were the season three finale of the TV series Lost in which Jack Shephard used a Razr (an important plot point which anchors the episode's chronology)' - this seems incorrect, as far as I am concerned it was actually Motorola KRZR K1m used in this episode. This should be moved to KRZR topic than, and deleted from RAZR. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 37.47.13.130 (talk) 20:46, 15 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Does each model need its own section?

I'm not quite sure if I should edit or not, so I'll ask here: Should each section dedicated to a model be moved to just one section, which could be called 'History' or 'Features'? It would make this article WAY more readable, and we really don't need to know everything about the V30i++ Deluxe Edition Extreme Ultimate Version (Now in Gold!) 58.182.109.215 (talk) 06:08, 27 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Fixing this mess

This article has been in a poor state for far too long. As we all know the Razr brand/line was revived 3 years ago yet there's still not much about the latest models. Because the newest iteration is simply called 'Razr' it complicates things further. I only recently added the latest models released this year and last to this article. And this article still has been full of info and sections about the V3 and its derivatives, which by the way looks extremely cluttered. So I've been bold to make a change.

I have cleaned the top section to emphasise this being a brand of phones. An infobox has been added with very brief info and the current Razr logo I've uploaded. Frankly, the sections of the V3 and other Razrs of that time need to be split into their own article(s). Not just because it is very long/cluttered here but also the Razr is no longer just about V3/V3i/maxx, it's about the current line as well, and for that matter Razr2 and Droid Razr too (the latter was even branded as just Razr where I'm from).

I'm going to be bold and make the change soon, putting V3 and others away from this page, and I'm sure this article will be much cleaner and refined, with 4 clear sections about the OG RAZR, the RAZR2, the Droid Razr, and the current Razr. Millscrepe (talk) 01:01, 17 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

OK all done. Article goes well to the point, 4 proper sections for each 'line' of Razr, and linked and sourced. Motorola RAZR V3 has been created with info about the original Razrs. Still has a lot of unsourced content on there but I'm adding templates to have an effort for cleaning that up too. --Millscrepe (talk) 12:50, 17 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Remarkably thin and fasionable look

Is it just me or does the line "The original Razr model (then styled RAZR), the Razr V3, was a flip phone released in 2004 with a remarkably thin and fashionable look." in the second paragraph feel a little like advertising/bias SpaceNerd95251 (talk) 03:53, 31 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
