Summary: Great phone, but a few let down.
Comment: Pros: sleek design, very thin, very light, good interface
2. itune doesn't require the locked version, I got my hacked itune by surfing online and got it on the phone
3. Can play MGP-4 video, but very small in size, because control panel takes half of the screen.
4. SD mini card if a great design, acts like a flash drives
5. quad band is a great feature, you can use it almost any where in the world except for Japan and S.Korea, since they use 3rd or even 4th generation cellphone.
Cons: Some areas out of services even tough same services provider phone(a song errison)has full strength, I had few or no signal areas in Wal-mart, even it's a very opened area.
2. Don't drop it, cuz it leaves a very ugly scracth, My phone was fine untill yersterday, I was getting out of the car, and it dropped, I mean it dropped, I'm so f***ing piss.
3. Camera resolution wish to be highier, VGA camera sucks and no flash(guess it's the draw back for being thin and small). But then again, phones aren't made to take pictures, if I want a good picture I use good camera like Nikon or Canon brand camera.

Summary: Great phone, when it works
Comment: Update - Cingular sent me a replacement for my SLVR. It has the same problems. That's three phones out of three - two for me and one for my daughter - with the same problem. Lockups and intermittent operation. I finally figured out part of the problem. Whenever an attempted voice dial fails, whether it was an intentional dial or an accident of pressing the button by mistake or pressing the headset button too long, then the phone will not make or receive any calls until you power it off and on again. At least now, if I am really careful how I handle it, my phone works most of the time. My suggestion is not to buy this phone for another 6 months or a year!
Original review follows:
This is a great phone when it works. There was a report this week on CNN about the RAZR phones that were sold late February 2006 and early March 2006 being recalled for a software bug. It is my guess that the SLVR, which is a close relative of the RAZR, has the same bug because my SLVR only works about half the time. Most of the time, when I try to make a call, the display will say "Calling xxxxxxx" but it just hangs there until I click End, even up to 20 minutes with nothing happening.
Any time I don't use my bluetooth headset for a few hours and then try to use it, the bluetooth on the phone will have quit working and to get it working again, I have to power the phone off and on again.
My daughter has the same phone and has the same problems.
When it works, though, it is a great phone. The iTunes holds only 100 songs, like the other reviews said, but that's an iTunes issue - it treats this like an iPod Nano.
Cingular is sending me a replacement for my SLVR and, hopefully, it will work better and have these issues resolved. In the mean time, I suggest giving more time for the bugs to be worked out. Once it becomes more reliable, I would highly recommend the phone.
