Tens of phones are released onto the consumer market every year by a number of top companies that want to take the market by storm. They all boast to be bigger and better than those released the previous year and the other phones that are being released onto the market, but do they actually live up to the hype? Although the majority of phones are good in terms of functionality and usability, they so often do not live up to expectations, and this is largely the way that the Motorola RAZR Maxx V6 is perceived.
The Motorola RAZR Maxx V6 is a mixture of features and style from the previous offerings from Motorola. It is very slim and lightweight, which makes it easy to carry and use. As always, it is a flip phone and features the outer and inner screen and a standard Motorola RAZR well spaced, easy to use keypad. The screens really are excellent, featuring a high resolution and great clarity that enables you to view even the tiniest of details on both of the screens. If you loved the previous Motorola phones then you will love the RAZR Maxx V6! It would not be out of the ordinary to find celebrities such as Andrew Lincoln and Ross Kemp walking around with one of these!
If you have never used this brand of phone before then you should be aware that the menus would take some getting used to! It can be a nightmare to navigate the menus if you have no experience with them. However, the RAZR Maxx V6 still has its fair share of features that do make that struggle worthwhile. For example, there is an Internet browser, although no WiFi on this model, and USB and bluetooth for connectivity. However, if you do not supplement the menu then there may be little point trying to figure out exactly where everything is. There is only 50MB of memory internally so it is necessary to purchase a microSD memory card. The RAZR Maxx V6 can support up to 4GB extra but you have to fiddle around with the memory cad as the slot is actually under the battery!
There are the usual features - a 2MP camera that takes decent, but not brilliant, pictures and you can still take a picture of yourself by using the outer screen to find the correct view for the shot. The call functionality is good and the phone is a quad band so you can take it travelling with you. However, overall, the RAZR Maxx V6 is a big disappointment when compared with its predecessors. There is a need for something new and innovative instead of old and done, and Motorola need to recognise that to move forward!
