Bluetooth Problems

Overall Rating:
4.2 out of 5
By: Sue Rose on Tuesday, December 12, 2006
From: Willis, TX (United States)
Experience: 7 Days
Pros: Phone seems great, looks good, sounds terrific

Cons: The Bluetooth does not work in my 2006 Lexus - I am so disappointed

Summary: The phone is very nice, but i am amazed that the Razor phone technology of the older Razors works in my car, but not the new one.

From: Helotes, TX (United States)
Experience: 3 Years
Pros: Great sound, slim, and easy to use.

Cons: Bluetooth signal drops off often. Needs revision.

Summary: I love the phone. It's great and has a lot of features that I use on a daily basis. I can't wait to get the next version with the MP3 player.

RAZRV3 worth it?

Overall Rating:
4.2 out of 5
By: Sean Bain on Saturday, December 09, 2006
From: Ames, Midwest (United States)
Experience: 5 Months
Pros: Sleek design, camera, and easy to store.

Cons: Buttons are hard to push and the antennae doesn't work very well.

Summary: Overall, its a great phone. Nice design and definitely looks nice using it. The reception quality really depends on what service you use. I'm not going to say my service, but it tends to drop calls a lot even though they say they drop the least amount!

Motorola RAZR V3

Overall Rating:
4.8 out of 5
By: Joanne Moyer on Monday, November 27, 2006
From: Pennsauken, NJ (United States)
Experience: 18 Months
Pros: Slim, powerful, fun to use, log battery life

Cons: No video capture, camera low megapixels

Summary: This phone is one of the earliest RAZR phones by Motorola. It is compatible with the GSM network. This phone has never let me down. The quality of the calls are clear, easy to use, small enough to slip in your pocket and not be bulky.

Pretty but not amazing

Overall Rating:
2.8 out of 5
By: Aegina Barnes on Monday, November 27, 2006
From: Forest Hills, NY (United States)
Experience: 18 Months
Pros: It's sleek, lightweight, fits anywhere and the camera is useful.

Cons: The sound can be terrible, the photos are often grainy, and it can be easily forgotten in clothing or dropped without you noticing.

Summary: I like the look and feel of the RAZR, but next time I'll probably go for something a little more substantial -- I'm always worried about this one dropping or being left in a pocket, and the sound quality is not that great. There are fun features, like the photo address book, and having the camera with video is nice, but I want to see what better options are out there.

Decent phone

Overall Rating:
3.8 out of 5
By: Shahzil Amin on Monday, November 27, 2006
From: carrollton, TX (United States)
Experience: 10 Months
Pros: Sleek Design
big keypad
big screen
loud volume
bluetooth
easy functions
holds over 100 text messages

Cons: takes a while to load things
delicate
easily gets water damage

Summary: I haven't been much of a fan for motorolas for two reasons: the low capacity to hold text messages and the long time it takes to load pictures, even the thumbnails. This phone has improved quite a bit on that holding over 100 texts and speeding up a bit, but one thing i hate about it is that when i text, i type texts faster than the phone picks up so i find myself finishing a sentence and the phone still typing. Overall this phone looks very good and isn't bad. I wuold recommend it to girls mostly.

Motorola V3C

Overall Rating:
5 out of 5
By: Tara B. on Monday, November 27, 2006
From: Mount Vernon, IL (United States)
Experience: 4 Months
Pros: Easy to use contact lists and easy to download games and ringtones.

Cons: Constantly drops calls whenever i'm around computers and the video recording only lasts 15 seconds.

Summary: As part of the Razr family, the Motorola Razr V3c for Verizon casts the same slim profile that has made it the most popular cell phone. At 3.9 by 2.1 by 0.6 inches and 3.5 ounces, the V3c is a hair bigger and heavier than the original Razr, but you don't notice the difference at all. In fact, it slips so easily into a pocket that it can be difficult to feel the vibrating ring. I liked the pink coloring. The external display and controls and the location of the camera lens are the same on the first Razr. And here again, there's no camera flash.

    LG Lotus (Sprint) - Photos

    Hey, look what just came!  Thanks, Vanessa ;-)  Here are some photos of the black LG Lotus for Sprint.  The QWERTY board feels GREAT so far, as those bubbled chiclet-style keys make up for the relatively small size of the layout.  Sprint's new One Click UI is sort of cool and helpful and sort of overdone; I'll have to play with it more, but I hope it winds up being handier more often than it gets in the way.  And I'm...

    WiMax: HTC drops super shiny WiMax phone on Russia

    Might this be a peek into our near-term future?  I hope so.  You're looking at the HTC T8290, a shiny, sleek, badass looking piece of kit from HTC destined for Russia's Yota network. What's neat about this device, besides its obvious good looks, is that it packs both GSM and WiMax connectivity so you can get your voice and high-speed data on in style.  There's a 3.8", 800 x 480 hi-res display for all of that content you'll be...

    First off, how cool is it that HTC dropped some significant cell phone news on the blogosphere via Twitter the other day?  I'm not saying Twitter itself is/isn't cool, but rather that it's neat to see a tech company innovate when it comes to communicating with the media.  Particularly so a tech company that uses the word "Innovation" in their marketing materials. Second, my post about the possibility of the HTC Touch HD coming to...

    Sidekick on steroids: First user review of T-Mobile G1 surfaces

    User review of G1

    An Android Community user - and T-Mobile Store Manager in Florida, apparently - who goes by kaziko has posted the first user review of T-Mobile's G1 Android phone.  The review - which takes the form of an ongoing forum thread - is summarized nicely in this post if you don't care to dive into the 11+ page thread. Of course, if you do there's text galore to tide you over until those G1s start shipping on the 22nd. So what's kaziko...

    Hands-Free: Driving with both earbuds in is NOT okay

    Driving with both earbuds

    For the past few weeks I've been considering writing a post about how California's law against driving while holding a cell phone has done pretty much nothing to curb the habit - at least in the Oakland/Berkeley area where I live and work.  Yesterday on my bike ride home from the office I figured out why I hadn't penned the post yet.  The law has done something, I think.  Sure, I still see at least three drivers with cellies in...

    When I first heard that T-mobile was offering a VoIP service, frankly, I wondered what could cause them to do such a thing, and what would motivate a customer to buy it. I've never paid much attention to VoIP because I've gotten so used to being mobile, 100% of the time. I went to my local T-Mobile store to check it out, and saw that they were pushing it as the hot new product. The service is $10 a month for unlimited calls, to anywhere in...
