well, I got my new razr today - and I am not too happy. Compared with my old |
22 |
Sony Ericson, bluetooth is crippled and everything seems to be a lot more |
23 |
complicated. While it is easy to put files onto the phone or fetch them with |
24 |
kdebluetooth with the SE, it seems not to be even possible with the razr. |

:( |

also, the razr does not support EDGE, so its networking is kinda slow compared |
28 |
to phones with it. |
