well, I got my new razr today - and I am not too happy. Compared with my old Sony Ericson, bluetooth is crippled and everything seems to be a lot more complicated. While it is easy to put files onto the phone or fetch them with kdebluetooth with the SE, it seems not to be even possible with the razr. :( also, the razr does not support EDGE, so its networking is kinda slow compared to phones with it. -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
