By: BYRON BARGER on Tuesday, November 28, 2006 From: AMELIA, OH (United States) Experience: 30 Days
Pros: Great speaker slim siize and easy to carryCons: very thinSummary: In general, I like my RAZR . It has a great speaker unlike phones that I have had in the past. It holds a charge and gets freat reception. The phone however is very fragile and I am afraid it will break. All in all it is a bery good phone.
By: Tim ta on Monday, November 27, 2006 From: lawrenceville, GA (United States) Experience: 1 Years
Pros: The style is excellent, voice quality is the best, ease of useCons: noneSummary: it has cool features and it is can be used worldwide. it has calculator, alarm, video camera, photo camera, and we can store our phone number directly to sim or the phone itself
By: Joanne Moyer on Monday, November 27, 2006 From: Pennsauken, NJ (United States) Experience: 18 Months
Pros: Slim, powerful, fun to use, log battery lifeCons: No video capture, camera low megapixelsSummary: 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.
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.
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 messagesCons: takes a while to load things delicate easily gets water damageSummary: 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.
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.
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.
By: TRACY ELLINSGON on Sunday, November 19, 2006 From: SPARKS, NV (United States) Experience: 8 Months
Pros: Very thin-can carry in your pocket-no need for belt clip. Internet access.Cons: Havent found any.Summary: This is a great little phone. It is very sturdy-I have dropped it serveral times and it keeps on working. It is very slim so you can tuck it anywhere. The display is big and easy to read. The battery last for days. I would definitely recommend this phone to anyone.
By: Danielle Wilfong on Monday, November 13, 2006 From: summerville, PA (United States) Experience: 4 Months
Pros: Its great...Cons: It BUZZES THE WHOLE TIME UR ON THE PHONE!!!!Summary: When i get a call on this phone or i make a call the phone has a annoying buzzing sound for the intire call.. Its constent. After the 5th day i had this razor it started this!!!!!1
By: Marvin Majano on Wednesday, November 01, 2006 From: Leland, NC (United States) Experience: 10 Months
Pros: Very slim, has lots of extra accessory, can have it any place like bag, pocket, very nice Cons: Very delicate, paint on the side comes of fast.Can's record and apply as ringtone.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.
By: Denise Miller on Monday, October 30, 2006 From: Parkersburg, WV (United States) Experience: 6 Months
Pros: I like the size of the phoneCons: sometimes its hard to hear the callSummary: Overall I really love this phone. Even though I have trouble hearing at times the extras (graphics) are worth it I do not plan on buying another phone anytime soon.
By: Marlnea Soltys on Thursday, October 26, 2006 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.
By: Jason Finch on Tuesday, October 24, 2006 From: Clarksburg, WV (United States) Experience: 48 Days
Pros: Its Sexy, sophiticated and cool lookinCons: Its not cheapSummary: I feel that this is what all phones should use as a standard. It just seem futuristic
By: Joseph Cho on Saturday, October 21, 2006 From: Torrance, CA (United States) Experience: 6 Months
Pros: small, thin, easy to use, nice looking phone, Cons: fragile, picture qualitySummary: I like this phone. I wish that the iTunes came out for this phone before i got it though. Its very small and easy to use. I would definitely recommend this phone for those who want a simple, small, easy to use phone with camera, bluetooth and all the other basic functions

Hey Everyone,
Each day Noah and the Phonedog Team try and deliver informative and interesting content to our fans, but even after all this time, we still don't really know who you are? We've put together a short survey that will help us to create an even better PhoneDog. Please take less than two (2) minutes to complete our survey.

Thank you

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...
Nokia kicked off Nokia World 2008 early this morning in Barcelona, Spain with the launch of their new flagship mobile phone, the N97. Due in the first half of next year, the N97 is Nokia's first N-Series device with a full QWERTY board, which is combined with a sliding, tilting resistive touchscreen and 32GB of onboard memory.
Looking something like a sleeker, shinier HTC Tilt, the N97 is a GSM phone with HSPA and WiFi connectivity and...
As expected, Nokia dropped a bomb on its faithful at Nokia World in Barcelona early this morning. What was it? The flagship N97 smartphone. Due in the first half of 2009, the N97 looks kind of like a modernized HTC Tilt, with its sliding, tilting touchscreen and hidden QWERTY board. Check out Nokia's promo video of the N97.
Nokia World in Barcelona launched so Noah started this Tuesday episode of GadgetDog Daily with announcements from the show. The Nokia N97 a possible "beast of a device" was unveiled and discussed during this episode along with the announcement of the HTC Shadow 2.
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...
Around these parts we spend a lot of time covering an industry that revolves around consumerism. I make no bones about the fact that your interest in buying newer, faster, better, and shinier gadgetry goes a long way to making my gig here at PhoneDog possible. Given that I think it'd be utterly hypocritical for me to write another article decrying America for its greedy, overly-materialistic ways - plenty of other writers have...
There's a countdown timer on Nokia's website that's set to expire at 9:15 CET - that's 12:15 AM, Pacific time - tomorrow morning, December 2nd. The timer will strike zero to coincide with the keynote address at Nokia World, a developer's conference in Barcelona, Spain.Nokia World has traditionally not been a venue for big product announcements from the world's #1 maker of cell phones, but tradition seems set to change as of tomorrow. ...
Just in case you didn't do enough shopping on the good old Interweb at lunchtime today, there are plenty more deals to check out when you get home, like Sprint's CyberMonday giveaways. Props to the carrier for realizing there's very little that beats FREE, especially when it comes to gift-shopping. These deals are offered only for a limited time and are good for new activations and eligible upgrades with, of course, a 2-year contract. Palm...
Hello, and welcome to the first installment of Dr. Photo. I’m Adam and yes, I’m a doctor, but no, I don’t know what that thing on your elbow is… I’m a physical chemist (which is how I get away with calling myself a doctor without ever touching people) and a professional photographer and have been called in by my friends at PhoneDog to take a close look at cell phones from a photographer’s point of view (less so from a chemist’s, although I’m...
