If I were you, I'd order it unlocked for $200, like me. I got that one for a buddy, and I got myself a silver krzr for $220. But yes, it is GSM. The camera is my favorite. With the slide closed, its in a widescreen viewfinder with a very conveniently placed camera button. It is the only slidephone that has ever interested me, I almost wish I had one for me. If you want I can direct you to the site....

Thanks, but I'll wait till I see it first.

Personally I have enjoyed the RAZR series for the last few years and not had a single problem. It's my personal favorite Moto phone, as I like the width, length, and how thin it is, plus for a Non-Smartphone I generally prefer the flip phone form factor.

That said, of the new variations on the RAZR theme my favorite is the RIZR Z3. I have personally inspected one very closely and find it to have by far the best slider mechanism. It's robust and will withstand a lot of opening and closing cycles without becoming loose like some of the other slider models.

I have not purchased one yet, the reason being I have some very reliable contacts within Motorola, T-Mo, RIM and Cingular. So the only point is it's my understanding that within just 3 short months after it's intial release here, they expect to discount the phone rather significantly which will be a great time to buy.

So unless your in a really big rush and must have one the moment they are introduced, you can save money by waiting.

Cheers...

It is worth getting your hands on....especially without contract and outrageous price tag...

What I forgot to mention in my ealier post is my friend quillhill has one. The reports that I get back on that RIZR are stellar. Unlocked and unbranded it's a great phone that quillhill has put a lot of time on with great results.

It's the only slider that I have ever liked. And I like it a lot....

Personally, i just got a krzr r1m from Alltel. Both of my parents have RAZR's, and i think the r1m is pretty awesome. It's somewhat of a chore to use mp3's of your own, but it is possible to use them as ringtones as well. My reception has been wonderful since I got it. One thing about the razr that always bugged me is how wide they are. the razr and krzr are both the same thickness i know...or at least pretty close. but the krzr's width seems much more comfortable than the razrs wideness. the extra 1 gig of storage is great.

Congrats! on your new phone. Sounds like a great one, I've read the reports and they are very favorable.

Just as an aside, and the reason the I like the fact that we have so many choices in phones:

I love the RAZR's width, as I have large hands and find it really comfortable. However that said, I'm not blindly loyal to any brand, model or size as I have'nt found a mobile phone I don't like yet..... just some are better than others...in fact I wish I _could_ be comfortable with the narrower phones as there are some great ones out there....:w00t:
