This isn't going to be a review. That will come later. Just a couple of teaser pictures for your enjoyment. :)
<!>
Notice the almost invisible power button. The only thing about this phone I dont get. You slide it as opposed to pushing it.The hump also is where the IR port resides.

Just for fun I put it next to my old 5600.

You can't tell in the pictures but the screen on this phone is incredible. None of my old themes will work of course and a few programs I liked have not quite been tweaked for it yet.

[Kris Kumar]

You got yours before mine. :cry:

But its all good. As long as we can keep Mike at bay. :lol:

[Mike Temporale]

Wow! That's pretty interesting to see beside the 5600. So, minus the hump - are they the exact same footprint? It looks that way.

[hotdram]

Oh my gawd, what is that thing at the top :rotfl:

Well you had that snow problem else you would have had it first. Mike who? :lol:

are they the exact same footprint?

Yes exactly right. Now see where the speaker is? on either side of it are two little crescents. You can almost see them in the picture. The one on the left is the power light, The one on the right is the blue Bluetooth light.

Oh my gawd, what is that thing at the top

Beautiful isn't it?

With apologies to the Black-Eyed Peas, "My hump. My hump, my hump, my hump. My ugly IR lump."

Cruel. You people are cruel. The hump is a thing of beauty and you are all just jealous! :razzing:

[robertotores]

Oh my gawd, what is that thing at the top :rotfl:

~Rob

It is a mannufacturing deffect, just leftover plastic. :)

[Rocco Augusto]

the hump looks A LOT better in person :)

[Rebecca]

Oh my gawd, what is that thing at the top :rotfl:

~Rob

That fugly thing is called a Hump. It is there to make the phone look smarter but uglier :silly:

[hotdram]

That fugly thing is called a Hump. It is there to make the phone loor smarter but uglier :silly:

LOL
BTW, I was trying to be sarcastic, I know what it is :) , and I didn't want to pay you royalties for calling it the XXXX, so I will just refer to it as "That which should not be named"

We need sarcasm tags:
~Rob

[Rocco Augusto]

We need sarcasm tags:

as well as emoticons with humps on them :)

[Jerry Raia]

You are all very fortunate I am a totally insensitive guy. Your jealous barbs have no affect on me whatsoever. However I am taking all my toys and going home!

By the way you reminded me of the movie "The Village" with that wich can not be named.

I just saw this:

Why Motorolo does not put Windows Mobile on this phone, the specs and form factor just calls for WM.
This would be an incredible machine without ugly humps.

Favorite phone format: Flip phone
least favorite format: Hump Phone

Ha Ha my hump is bigger than yours

That would be risky for Moto. I mean the thing would actually have to work right. I'm ignoring your hump comment. :P

Now before you fans start telling me how this new RAZR has 50gb of memory and a plasma tv and will turn into an airplane sit down and take a breath. It's not a Smartphone. I'll never be impressed with it.

I'd love a RAZR V3x with Windows Mobile -- if it was a CDMA phone and uncrippled by Verizon.

The important thing is not the size of the hump, but how you use it!

I am thiking to get this phone. Can I get bluetooth GPS adapter and some software to get maps and voice activated directions? Heard some place that with Audiovox it is possible.

Thanks, ado

About a month ago I got my 3rd 5600 (I beat up my phones). I love the 5600, it's the best phone I've ever had. My question is, is WM5 enough better than 2003 to justify the expense? And does it offset the HUMP!

I believe the phone has BT built in, I am not sure what you mean when you say "BT adapter". You can get a BT GPS that will communicate with the phone. You can also purchase mapping software to get voice activated directions, such as Mapopolis or CoPilotLive6. If you want real-time routing with voice, do not purchase Microsoft Streets and Trips (with Pocket Streets and Trips for Smartphone), because you can not auto-route or get voice directions on the Smartphone (or Pocket PC).
I would recommend a BT GPS receiver that has the SIRF III chipset in it, as acquisition time is very fast, and accuracy is very good. I use a BT Mini from SYSON and am happy with it, the unit is small and easy to get connected with the Smartphone.

Does this support wifi?

[Jerry Raia]

Does this support wifi?

There is no WiFi built into the 2125.

[sojourner753]

Any idea whether this phone will receive the Microsoft Feature Pack?

[Mike Temporale]

Any idea whether this phone will receive the Microsoft Feature Pack?

No carrier or vendor has officially stated that they will be releasing the ROM upgrade. Technically, yes. The phone does support it. Whether or not it's released is another question. :?
