Motorola - RAZR maxx Review

25th July 2006

The Motorola RAZR MAXX is Motorola's first HSDPA (3.5G) device, although it's closer in design to the Motorola RAZR V3x than the RAZR V3i.

It's a highly competitive handset: the RAZR MAXX comes with a 2.2'' 320x240 pixel display, 2 megapixel camera, video calling, 50Mb of internal memory plus Bluetooth, a multimedia and touch-sensitive external media controls.

Under the hood, the RAZR MAXX has EDGE support as well as HSDPA. The maximum download rate with HSDPA is quoted as 3.6Mbps, although coverage limitations will apply. At the maximum rate, the RAZR MAXX's HSDPA capabilities will be ten times faster than standard 3G.

At 104x53x15mm and 105 grams in weight, the RAZR MAXX is pretty compact for a 3G device, but in fact most of the recent HSDPA devices have been equally impressive. In fact, there's very little to differentiate the RAZR MAXX from Samsung ZV50 and the BenQ-Siemens EF91 in size and weight terms, although the RAZR MAXX is arguably the better looking device.

Of course looks are the thing when it comes to RAZRs, and the RAZR MAXX is unmistakably part of the RAZR line, including the ''kick'' at the bottom of the etched keypad and the angular design. The exterior is made from a hardened class compound, which certainly gives the RAZR MAXX a distinctive finish. Although, in truth we wonder how much prospective users care about looks when the main purpose of an HSDPA handset is to attain fast download speeds.
