All in all, a good, solid phone, but unfortunately it is not perfect.
For one, the battery life is absolutely terrible as it does not last even a full 24 hours. Motorola could have done better. Also, if the charger is plugged in and then removed, the display will show full battery life, which is deceiving. This problem has plagued many past Motorola phones, but by this point the problem should have been fixed. There is no excuse to have this simple quirk STILL plague a supposedly state-of-the-art phone.
Another issue is that the USB cover is rather inconvenient to use and seems inevitable that it will eventually break off.
The sometimes-it-works-sometimes-it-don't external buttons are an interesting addition, but more should have been done with them. For instance, maybe it's just me, but one time I was able to activate the camera using the external key, but can't seem to do it again.
The side buttons are also hard to get a feel for, as they are now more contoured to the overall body of the phone. This makes it difficult to simply light the outer screen to check the time/text messages/missed calls, etc., if I happen to not want to take the phone out of my belt holder, for example.
The main screen is also ever-so-slightly smaller than the original RAZR, which is a letdown because the entire top half of the phone is larger than the RAZR's. It makes no sense to then make the inner screen smaller. The Motorola "M" logo (which takes away at least a centimeter of space) could have simply been smaller or moved to allow extra room for the screen.
A few other small nitpicks are:
The metallic-chrome finish is beautiful, however, it also attracts and shows smudges and fingerprints way too easily. I find myself constantly wiping off fingerprints wheras this was not a problem with the original RAZR.
While the keypad now has bigger numbers, the simplistic straight lines and lack of the blue electro-luminescent lighting is a bit of a letdown when compared to the original RAZR. This makes the keypad look less futuristic, but is of course not important.
