By: Donna Kristosik on Thursday, October 05, 2006 From: Lexington, GA (United States) Experience: 4 Weeks
Pros: Small, lightweight, bluetooth compatible, great looking, great receptionCons: None reallySummary: I love this phone. I've had the black one, which I gave hubby and got the pink one. It's an all around great phone.
By: JEFFREY TEKULSKY on Thursday, October 05, 2006 From: OVIEDO, FL (United States) Experience: 6 Weeks
Pros: Thin, fits in pocket. Great Reception.Cons: Not much memory. Can't sort by company name in address book. Volume not very loud when on a call. Summary: In gerneral my V3 Razor is a great phone. It has above average reception. It does not have much memory or a place to add additional memory (that is in the v3I Razor). It is a great looking phone and quite durable.
By: Barbara North on Thursday, October 05, 2006 From: Olympia, WA (United States) Experience: 10 Days
Pros: Stylish, thin, camera, speaker, voice, real ringtones, large screen, cool keypadCons: Can't download ringtones from third partiesSummary: I love this phone because it has everything I need. I can download real ringtones (and they have my favorite band available), I can take pictures with it that actually look pretty decent, and it has a speakerphone and voice recognition dialing, which come in really handy when I'm driving. I get pretty good battery life out of it, which helps because I spend a lOT of time on the phone. The color is great, so it's very stylish, which is important to me. The only thing I don't like is because of the service provider and NOT the phone so it's irrelevant. Other than that, I LOVE this phone and I can see keeping it for quite some time.
By: Angela Taylor on Wednesday, October 04, 2006 From: Overland Park, KS (United States) Experience: 10 Months
Pros: Thin, compact, stylishCons: Should have included more wallpapers and ring tones.Summary: This is a great phone for anyone used to keeping their phone in their pocket, or small purse. It is easy to customize and is very visually appealing. However, for a Motorola phone I did expect it to have several more wallpapers and more unique ringtones.
By: Allen Ma on Wednesday, October 04, 2006 From: Brooklyn, NY (United States) Experience: 39 Days
Pros: Nice camera, zoom and resolution Easy to use Cons: Poor Battery Life Low SpeakerSummary: If you're looking for a phone much better than the old regular Razr v3 this would be very nice upgrade. 8x zoom 2.0 megapixels quite nice for a phone and even an optional mmc slot for more storage!
By: Katie Malcom on Wednesday, October 04, 2006 From: Conyers, GA (United States) Experience: 5 Months
Pros: Small, Tough, CuteCons: None!Summary: I absolutely love my Razr. It is super cute, has a great calendar system, alarm system, picture system, and is super small. I can carry it in my back pocket, which is great for when I walk my teacup chihuahuas. It matches my personality and looks great. A+++
By: Sara Crain on Wednesday, October 04, 2006 From: Coraopolis, PA (United States) Experience: 6 Months
Pros: Light weight Has Speakerphone Color Screen Cool Ringtones CameraCons: Charge doesnt last very long Can get scratched very easily Summary: This is a nice phone that is lightweight, has a nice style, has unique ringtones, picture messaging, and many other features. The pros are it has speakerphone, is a flip phone that is very skinny, has a bright color screen, comes with a good camera phone. The cons are it can get scratched very easily and it doesn't hold a charge very long.
By: GIGGLES CORP on Monday, October 02, 2006 From: SACRAMENTO, CA (United States) Experience: 7 Months
Pros: Ultra thinCons: Reception is not that greatSummary: I like the black Razr because it is very pretty. I also like it because it is very thin. However, the reception is not as good as I expected. Many times the battery dies on me. I also have problems when I talk to other people, many say they hear a whistling noise in the background.
By: qingfan chen on Saturday, September 30, 2006 From: columbus, OH (United States) Experience: 6 Months
Pros: it's better than my previous LG and can get some signal I dont have before.Summary: I like the touch of this cell phone though sometime I will it can be a little smaller and can fit into my pocket better.
By: william forsyth on Wednesday, September 27, 2006 From: upland, CA (United States) Experience: 10 Months
Pros: good features - good camera solid video powerful antenna slim and smallCons: camera lacks some features such as sepia tones and black and white. occassionally sluggish osSummary: The v3 razr is a solid phone with many features. it has bluetooth, and allows file transfer with opex. the antenna is pretty good, and is worth the price.
By: Hamid Namaky on Tuesday, September 26, 2006 From: South Russell, OH (United States) Experience: 5 Months
Summary: OK to get RAZR, but not with T-Mobile. I have T-Mobile family plan. I barely have signal in my residence area, so the phone has become useless for me (3 Motorola phones). T-Mobile is not going to offer anything to resolve this issue and they are not even going to give credit for lost minutes. I had Sprint and Version prior to T-mobile (for four years) and both of them worked without problem for me. I am ready to pay termination fee to get out of this contract. T-mobile is the worst one in terms of compensating minutes for lack of coverage.

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?

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...
