PureMobile sent us in the brand new Motorola handset, second generation RAZR: the Linux-based V8. One of the most sleek and most-wanted phones in the market, and we take it for a serious spin.

I understand that it is your personal opinion and I respect that, but since when does a phone require wifi to be considered a "true" smartphone? My Treo 650 has no wifi and yet I can go online anywhere I get a cellphone signal (which is anywhere I carry the phone) at near-DSL speeds. I don't have to wait until I'm near a hotspot, and while I do pay for that, it's cheap -- US$19.95/month -- and it's unlimited bandwidth.
I do feel that wifi would be a nice addition for the added speed boost at hotspots, but to me it's not worth buying a new phone and it certainly doesn't disqualify mine as a smartphone. Just the fact that I can run any number of palmOS apps qualifies it.
For that matter, I would say the Treos and Windows Mobile PDA/phones out there are more worthy of the title than any RAZR or even the iPhone -- at least until we get third-party app support for those.
