  Been using this phone for a few days, might I say the only down side is the memory. After installing the Fifa game given for free, it took up the rest of my phones memory. It doesn't allow you to install apps onto the SD card, and I haven't found a way to even after rooting it. Also had trouble finding a custom rom.

  Other than that, it's not a bad phone. Battery life is decent too.

    Seeing that you've rooted the phone, maybe try Link2SD. Here's a guide, it's for Xperia phone, but I have followed the guide for other phones with success, though not on a Razr V.

  Is Motorola RAZR V Smartphone better than buying iphone 4? (not iphone 5) looking at the price $246.
  Feature wise Motorola Razr V looks similar or even better than iphone 4?

    Iphone 4 has better screen and 16GB internal storage. The Razr V has micro sd slot, better camera, radio, and hsdpa 14.4mb.

  Also, is it worth to wait for next 4months to see if we get any other better smartphone in same price range? Any possibility?

    It doesn't say anywhere it's a new phone. Knowing how dodgy Graysonline is, I'd say it's definitely used.
    So it depends if you want to risk paying for a used phone.

    Edit: no premium for buy it now items.
