The motorola razr

Overall Rating:
5 out of 5
By: lisa diamond on Wednesday, September 06, 2006
From: Huntersville, NC (United States)
Experience: 3 Months
Pros: It is slim, good-looking and very easy to use. The menu is easy to understand and a cinch to use

Cons: There are buttons on the side of the phone and it seems like right where you hold it to talk is where you put it on speakerphone, it can become quite annoying if you don't remind yourself that they are there.

Summary: I would recommend this phone because it looks good and it is very easy to use and also it is very lightweight which makes it easy to carry or conceal.

From: fritch, TX (United States)
Experience: 2 Months
Pros: You can hear better on it

By: Christine lidwell on Tuesday, September 05, 2006
From: ashville, PA (United States)
Experience: 4 Months
Pros: The only think I like is that it is cute and lightweight

Cons: Very hard to hear the person you are calling and when the phone rings
The signal is bad, I can barely make a call anywhere.
The screen get scatched very easy ( I have a cover for it)

Summary: I wish I would have bought a different phone, I think this has a few "bugs" still.
It is a cute phone, but I wish I would have shopped around first.

It's not bad

Overall Rating:
3 out of 5
By: Yoshiko Little-Flower on Saturday, September 02, 2006
From: Chula Vista, CA (United States)
Experience: 1 Years
Pros: It's Slim. It's looks Good. I like the voice dialing and camera.

Cons: It's not good as commercial says. Many of inconvenience.

Summary: Not good in the address book. You can't store the more than one number under the same name. You have to have same name for multi phone number per person. Also when searching the name if pless A then M for "Amy" it goes to "M___". This is very inconvenient. And, this phone has only one socket to plug the battery charger or head phone. When you need to charge the battery and use the headphone same time while you are driving a car, No you can't.

Summary: Dont bother

Experience: 9 Months
Pros: Sleek design, web/ e-mail support, Nice display, Bluetooth enabled, speakerphone & GSM support.

Cons: call volume is bit low, the reception is not great (but certainly not bad). The camera is not so good. The pictures are poor.

Summary: The Razr V3 backs up its radical design with solid features and good performance. It is a GSM enabled phone & has Sleek design, web/ e-mail support, Nice display, Bluetooth support & has a neat speakerphone. Though the camera is not so nice& the pictures are pretty amateur. Other than that this is a very nice phone with neat features & design.

Great Phone!

Overall Rating:
4.7 out of 5
By: karen yannacio on Wednesday, August 30, 2006
From: Quincy, MA (United States)
Experience: 30 Days
Pros: Lightweight, easy to navigate, great font, amazing clarity

Cons: Gets smudgy easily, so you always need to wipe the screens clean

Summary: The RAZR V# Silver is the best phone I've owned. It has great features and looks amazing! I like the size - its small enough that it fits in my back pocket and purse but large enough that I can find it easily. It charges quickly and holds a charge for days (unless you talk for hours and hours each day). The normal charger is small so you dont even need to purchase the travel charger. Highly recommended and so glad that I got it!

RAZR V3 Review

Overall Rating:
3.8 out of 5
By: Joe Kolarz on Monday, August 28, 2006
From: Boyertown, PA (United States)
Experience: 25 Days
Pros: A lot of Features
A lot of storage Space
Plays sounds loud and easy to understand

Cons: Cant always see screen when on the phone
Battery doesnt last real long

Summary: The phone has a lot of features which I love and it also has a lot of storage space so I can add a lot of games or music. The only real down side is that the screen turns black after awhile to save battery life but it even does it while your own a call so you cant check what time it is.

    The launch of Nokia's flagship, touchscreen and QWERTY N97 has already sparked the inevitable "iPhone Killer" comparisons.  Without getting all into that, it is worth mentioning that the N97 will pack a whopping 32GB of internal memory backed by a microSD card slot officially capable of supporting another 16GB of storage when the phone ships sometime in the first half of next year. Apple's iPhone 3G currently tops out at 16GB of fixed...

Looking something like a sleeker, shinier HTC Tilt, the N97 is a GSM phone with HSPA and WiFi connectivity and...

    BlackBerry Storm Updates

    The horribly over-hyped, gimmicky, disappointing, bug-plagued BlackBerry Storm should soon be getting its first dose of badly-needed firmware fixes, according to Greg over at MobileCrunch, and a host of other Internet reports.  I still think the Storm would be best off slimming down and losing the silly click-screen mechanism altogether, but if you're digging the SurePress action and just waiting until the lags, crashes, and other kinks get...
