Performance
We tested the dual-band (CDMA 800/1900; EV-DO) in San Francisco using Verizon's service. Call quality was very good. Voices sounded natural, and the reception was crystal clear, with none of the background hum we noticed from the Sprint model. Volume could be just the tiniest bit higher, but on the whole, the calling performance was outstanding.

On their end, callers said we sounded great as well. They did notice some slight wind noise at times, but otherwise they had no complaints. It was the same story with the speakerphone and Bluetooth headset calls. We had no real issues regarding either.

As with the Sprint V9m, the music quality on the Verizon model is quite agreeable. The single speaker at the bottom of the phone provided loud output and clarity. At the highest volume level, there was little of the distortion or bass-heavy effect that we've found on other music phones. It still won't replace your standalone MP3 player, but it does a decent job for short listening stints. Though Verizon's V Cast streaming media content is lacking when compared to Sprint's Power Vision offerings, Verizon's V9m handled the content better. There was still a fair amount of pixilation, but it made for a better viewing experience.

Verizon's Razr2 V9m has a rated battery life of 3.6 hours talk time and 12 days of standby time. Our tests revealed a talk time of 5 hours and 2 minutes. According to FCC radiation tests the V9m has a digital SAR rating of 0.71 watts per kilogram
