Even though it’s been on the market for 4 years, the Razr is still outselling the iPhone in the US. This news comes with an ocean of caveats. First, the Razr is on almost every major and minor carrier in the country. Also, it usually is free with a contract.

I remember how revolutionary this phone was. Now it seems very “basic”. With the release of the iPhone, people really see how clunky it’s interface is. My wife has one because she “just wanted the free phone”.

For some reason, Motorola has not been able to come up with a suitable followup. Now that smartphones are starting to take over the cell phone market, it would be a good idea for them to find a way to compete with Apple and Research In Motion.
