Both the Samsung Ultra Edition 12.1 (U700) and the Motorola RAZR2 V8 are very stylish handsets. Aesthetics is a very personal issue, so I'll leave that for you to decide which phone appeals to you more. What I can say is that while some people may like the touch-sensitive softkeys on the U700, there are others who'd prefer to stick with hardware buttons.
Motorola's RAZR series has come a long way since the first RAZR was introduced in 2004. Although the RAZR2 V8 is still based on that familiar RAZR shell, it's slimmer and more pleasing to the eyes. The U700, on the other hand, is part of Samsung's Ultra Edition series and has all along touted a deadly combination of looks and slim profiles. The main difference between the two is that the RAZR2 V8 is a clamshell while the U700 is a slider.
In terms of features, the V8 is a bit lacking compared with the U700's HSDPA radio, microSD expansion card slot and 3.2-megapixel autofocus camera. If we had to compare, the RAZR2 V9, which is expected to be available in December this year, may be a better match. We haven't had the chance to finish our review of the RAZR2 V8 because there wasn't a commercial set available to us, but if you ask me the U700 looks more promising. Do read our first take on the V8 and our review on the U700 to find out more.

I bought a samsung u700 when it first came out and I hated it the touch sensitive keys don't work correctly, the phone is plastic and the paint pealed away and the '3.2' mp camera isn't great either.... so anyway I recently bought the razr2 which is much nicer looking and made of steel and glass.. works better... altough it doesn't have a memory card slot but it has 512 mb which is quite good and a 2GB version is coming soon... so I would deffinetlet recommend the razr and NOT the un-user friendly u700
