These are the pros/cons imho:
Pros:
Lightweight, slips into your pocket easily and comfortably
Big color LCD screen
Camera is decent quality
Polyphonic Ringtone Capability
Cons:
Very slippery and can fall out of your pocket/hand and hit the ground quite easily
Sound quality for calls is amazingly terrible
Speakerphone volume is only as loud as turning the volume up to full and holding it from your ear (both are the same volume)
Getting to your text messages if you don't have a new one to read is difficult to learn
Battery stops holding a charge after about 3 months (3 different RAZRs with at least 2 batteries each)
AC chargers stop charging the phone after about 5-6 months (To get it to charge now I have to find a new one and plug it in and wiggle the little head slightly until it recognizes the power exchange, and even then half the time it'll move by hitting the table, walking on the carpet and cut the connection off)
The phone I have now (6 months) takes 8 hours to charge if it's off. double that if the phone is on while being charged
And there's a lot more I can say about it.
Moral: If the KRZR is just a new look for the RAZR, I would highly recommend against it.
As for main topic of the post. I still think Blackberry is better than the iPhone but that's just me.

Hmm, that's strange. I keep hearing all kinds of bad things about the RAZR. I've had mine for almost a year now with none of those problems. When I first got it, the front screen stopped working, but I took it into the Verizon store and they just handed me a new phone, no questions asked.
I have dropped it a couple of times, but it still works just fine. That's more than I can say for my old Nokia phones.
Like I said, I've had it for about a year now; the battery still works like new. It takes an incredibly short amount of time to charge (I've never timed it, but it's less than an hour, while on). I don't use it that often, but the battery lasts 3 or 4 days for me.
I haven't used any of these new top-of-the-line phones, but I don't notice any problems with sound quality. It actually works better than almost any other phone for people with hearing aids, in terms of sound quality.
The text messages are quite simple to retrieve. It's just [Message] [3] and you're at your inbox.
Maybe I just don't know what I'm missing, but I have no qualms with my RAZR. It's not a fun phone, but it sends and receives calls and text messages, and is blue tooth capable and that's all I really need.
