I just flashed the firmware on my RAZR about a month ago. Strange, but right around the time the iPhone launched, I was suddenly no longer scared that I might brick my RAZR. :) Funny you should suggest this.

HoFo is the primary place to begin: http://www.howardforums.com/index.php You said you have a razr... so: http://www.hacktherazr.com/ I too have a razr and found lots of good info on re-enabling the crap Verizon removed here: http://mark.cdmaforums.com/V3C-1.htm its completely within our rights to re-enable and do whatever the hell we want with a product we've bought (as long as we dont try to get technical support for our own changes). Sure this may void our warranties... but as long as we flash back to a stock firmware or reset to defaults before we return our phone for warranty repair we're fine. Theres two sides to this coin... we bitch when we cant get a person on the phone or have to wait in line for an hour to get help in a store... by locking out features they reduce those lines because theres less for the idiots to break. If you dont like it… hack the phone…
