Hi all,

I really don't get it Moto uses nice metals for their RAZR devices and then go and launch a stunning top of the range Multimedia smart phone with amazing specs.

Then they go and make it out of cheap and nasty black plastic which even has raised comments in positive reviews of just how plastic even the keypad is. I will reserve final judgement until i see it in the flesh but currently black and fluorescent lime green made of plastic are really not appealing IMO, such a shame for what by all accounts is actually a great device.
