Let's compare a 2004 smartphone with its 2007 successor, and see how well Motorola's improved its flagship model over the last 3 years.

Item	RAZR V3	RAZR2 V9
Form Factor	Clamshell	Clamshell
Network connectivity	Quadband GSM	Quadband GSM, HSDPA
Size (Length x width x Thickness)	98 x 53 x 13.9mm	103 x 53 x 13.3mm
Weight	95 grams	125 grams
Display	176 x 220 primary 96 x 80 secondary	2.2" QVGA primary 2" QVGA secondary
Short-range connectivity	Bluetooth 1.2	Bluetooth 2.0 (A2DP-capable)
Multimedia	VGA camera	2 megapixel camera Audio and video playback
Expansion	None	microSD slot

There's no doubt the second-generation RAZR is better than its parent, featuring bigger displays and expansion. And connectivity freaks will love the speed of HSDPA. All this in a slightly thinner body. But the important question is: compared to its competitors, is Motorola still up-to-date? The RAZR V9 will probably hit the streets this 3rd quarter.
