Well Motorola Continues to evolve its successful RAZR line with the V9, also known as the MOTORAZR2. The phone has been recently launched in Korea for $500+ but to be honest I am not really too excited. I will say that the new phone is a much nicer upgrade but I was bored with the RAZR line 2 years ago and not even a 2 inch external touch screen will make me excited for this so-so phone. Overall the phone is upgraded through and through from its 2.2 inch internal display that has twice the resolution as the original RAZR, 2 mega pixel camera, microSD slot and of course bluetooth. All in all, its still a nice looking phone in a thin shell and if you are looking for a simple upgrade to your worn and tired RAZR then this is definitely a step up but my first opinion is to just keep stepping.

It was my brother actually who pointed me to the first photos and information for the new Nokia 6500 phones. His favorite? The 6500 Slide. My first impression was that it was kind of simple and boring, like a watered down N80 but as I have been watching videos and looking at photos of the new handset I have to say that the design has really grown on me. The clean, simple lines make the phone look incredibly modern and sleek. So far I have been seeing it online for $400-$600 bucks which I think is a bit high. If I could find one around 350 I think that I would definitely consider picking one of these up. Boasting a 3.2mp camera, microSD slot, 20mb of internal memory, EDGE, 3G and bluetooth 2.0 you really cant go wrong with a phone like this. More photos after the jump…

What is it about the Haier Elegance that makes me want to buy one so much? Is it the MP3 capabilities, or the built in FM radio? Maybe its the HiFi headphones or bluetooth stereo transmitter? It might be its glossy, mirrored finish or maybe its the fact that its so tiny it fits inside the palm of your hand. Seriously, this phone is tiny and I am loving it. When I first started looking at its pilled shape and tiny dimensions I have to admit the first thing I thought about were those stories of prisoners bringing phones into prisons up their… keister… but lets be honest, if you had to sneak any phone up the poo chute it might as well come in black, have a glass screen for easy cleaning and it should be tiny as hell. Check, check, and check.

Honestly though for under 200 bucks this GSM phone has been on my to-buy list for about 2 months now and everyday I find it harder and harder not to buy it. I think this is a great back up phone or lipstick phone for ladies on the run. Although its about the size of a lipstick container it doesn’t come across as TOO feminine, I wouldn’t have any problem sporting this handset as an extra phone in case I was hitting up the bars for the night.
