What was missing
The announcement did not mention internal storage or an SD card slot. One reference to a remote wipe feature that can erase the SD card suggested that a card slot was present. The author was more bothered by the software: Gingerbread rather than Ice Cream Sandwich, which was expected to arrive soon after. The main question was whether the phone would ship with the newer version.
Availability in Canada
Rogers was reported to carry the phone for the holiday season, and one report said exclusively. No price or release date was given, so the status of the phone in Canada was unconfirmed at the time.
The RAZR name
The author joked that the original RAZR phones from years earlier had been put to rest, and this one was a zombie return in time for Halloween.
Status today
The phone is no longer supported. Its specs belong to a past generation.
