Motorola Razor V3

Overall Rating:
3.8 out of 5
By: JEFFREY TEKULSKY on Thursday, October 05, 2006

Best Cell Phone I've used

Overall Rating:
5 out of 5
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 keypad

Cons: Can't download ringtones from third parties

Summary: 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, stylish

Cons: 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 Speaker

Summary: 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!

From: SACRAMENTO, CA (United States)
Experience: 7 Months
Pros: Ultra thin

Cons: Reception is not that great

Summary: 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.

OK to get RAZR, but not with T-Mobile

Overall Rating:
2.5 out of 5
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.

    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...
