Where have I heard THIS before? Oh that's right... last month. Everyone claims to be the thinnest for a few weeks. At least the phones look sweet.

These phones are hot! Yeah everyone has a razr, but I don't think the fad will wear out. Nobody likes an ugly phone.

Copycats? 3.13-Megapixel Camera is hardly a copycat. The A900 was MUCH better than the V3c. Sammy does what Moto should concentrate more on, the inside of the phone rather than the shell.

I would need to agree. Samsung does what Motorola fails to, make something that's more than just pretty. After have 7 bad RAZRs and the first Samsung I ever purchase has no flaws what so ever, their manufacturing is also a lot better. The screens put into the Samsungs are also a much higher resolution. While Motorla may have started the fad, Samsung is the only one I know of that can create a beautiful, quality handset that had software that works just as well. However, while the extra thiness is cool and the camera is a lot bigger, I'll stick with my D820 for now. Not much of a difference to upgrade quite yet.
