I noticed that all of the Razrs have been pulled from AT&T's phone offerings webpage?
Anyone with any idea what's up?

I had read somewhere that motorola was going to stop making the razr's.but I would have to track down that info to be sure. And it's been months since I read that.
Isn't there still a couple of razr's still available for usage as GoPhones?

Call me crazy (you won't be the first), but.
I had the Moto Q9h Globla for about 7 months. And I still think it's a great phone, although WM6.1 , much like me, is showing its age. But the buttons got a little harder to operate, which made it tough to do long emails and a lot of texting (I work with a bunch of young'uns that woudl rather text than talk.grrr). Plus the buttons were almost impossible to see in the dark.
So I began to look around at the various phones offered by AT&T as well as unlocked alternative phones. I looked at phones from LG, Samsung, Blackberry, HTC, Nokia, and a couple I had never heard of. They all felt like cheap toys I'd buy as fake phones for Cindy's grandsons to play with. Seriously. Imean, who do they think are buying phones these days, Mrs Thompson's 5th grade class? Most all of the operating systems make me feel like I'm watching the Road Runner cartoon on Saturday morning. The HTC phones came the closest to being a viable contender, making a couple of nice models that came close to getting my attention.
Then I thought about the iPhone.
One of our young techs had just gotten one for Christmas, so last week, I picked it up and played it some. And it just works well. Of course, it still misses basic things like cut & paste that make me wonder just what strain of mushrooms they chop up for the Kool-Aid out there in Cupertino. However, there's enough of it that works as I like it. Plus I went to the iTunes store to look at apps and I was amazed at the number apps that were actually useful and worth having.
So another iPhone it is. I'll keep haranging the Apple gang about the missing features.
That's my story and I'm stickin' to it.))
There does seem to be a new Razr-ish Moto phone that's near release. I've forgotten the name of it, but I followed some links and it seems to be a viable replacement. But it's a long way from re-capturing the glory days of the Razr.
