Motorola Razr2 Battery Life (Verizon Razr2 Profile)
October 10, 2007
The Motorola Razr2’s battery life is estimated to give the user 215 minutes of talk time, while using the phone with Verizon cell service. Verizon claims that the Verizon Razr2’s battery should be able to power the phone on standby for 310 hours, which is almost 13 days. Sorry Verizon, but I sort of doubt that. 
To be fair, Verizon is assuming that conditions will be perfect, which of course they won’t be. I think it’s more likely that the standby time of the Verizon Razr2 v9m will be somewhere around 5 days in the beginning - unfortunately that will probably go down after the first month or so.
Micro-USB To Become Standard For Mobiles, According To OMTP
October 2, 2007
The Open Mobile Terminal Platform (OMTP) has now recommended that mobile phones use the micro-USB standard for connections to peripherals and for charging mobile devices. This gives a head start to a few companies that are already using the standard - the Motorola Razr2 v9m comes to mind.
The micro-USB offers a cable that has a pretty small connection, much smaller than mini-USB. This will allow for phone manufacturers to keep the port very small while creating a universal standard that will offer better support for peripherals and accessories.
There is no word as to when or even if manufacturers will take the OMTP’s advice. One thing is certain, Motorola is already ahead of the game.
