The Motorola Razr has been a stylish hip and cool mobile phone for at least a year. But what people don't realize is it's not special.

As your mom might have said, don't judge a book by its cover -- the Razr is not a special phone in any metric, Mark Lowenstein said during his keynote.

"The Razr is not a leading, or best- in-class device in any category but its thinness," he said.

Compare it with other phones in battery life, screen resolution or speed, and it doesn't match up.
