Pros: Great speaker slim siize and easy to carry

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.

So thin, You Can't Feel it!

Overall Rating:
3.5 out of 5
By: Jannet Truong on Sunday, November 26, 2006
From: Sacramento, CA (United States)
Experience: 1 Years
Pros: Thin, Sleek, Bluetooth compatible, many great functions,

Cons: Fragile, easily lost, doesn't last long,

Summary: This phone is great with many functions. I always use my phone for taking pictures, 'bluetoothing', and for an alarm clock. Many people compliment me on ho sleek and ne it looks. At night, I always lose it! It is black like my backpack, so I lose it if i put it in my backpack. Full-black phones are not that handy. Other than that, GREAT PHONE.

Experience: 10 Months
Pros: Very slim, has lots of extra accessory, can have it any place like bag, pocket, very nice

Summary: Very good phone also a very long battery life last about 3-4 days depend on use of it. Camara is very clear but not a lot of memory 5MB only so that's pretty bad. Its very slim nice in apperence. Its a world one so you can take it any where in the world.

From: Marine City, MI (United States)
Experience: 60 Days
Pros: very easy to carry in purse. Numbers embeded will not rub off.

Cons: must hold phone slightly away from ear or you can not hear.

Summary: The size is a big plus for me. The phone being flat it makes it harder for it to fall from a table desk etc. Was ease to use. Camera function is fine for a cell phone.

    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...
