I've heard the same thing as amnintendo about the Razr.
I know someone who knows someone (I know, that's crap) who works for a company who fixes cell phones, and most of their clients are people with Razrs.
Also, my mom has the pink one and I'm not impressed by it. It's old news now but it was almost top-of-the-line when she got it, and I had trouble hearing on it. It's also too wide for my tastes--yeah it's thin, but it's like wide.
On your fear of people stealing cell phones--does that really happen with normal cells? I figured people would only bother trying to steal the new $400+ models that are overadvertised so they're easily identifiable.
