Pros: I can put it in my pocket when I'm wearing tight pants. battery life is pretty good in the first 3 monthsCons: It lags like CRAZY & cheap design. Battery life on the decline.Summary: I gave into peer pressure and bought this phone since it (was) trendy. Anyway, I was super excited when I first bought it, but it didn't take long for me to start hating it.
You have to memorize the menu options becuase it lags so long/freezes sometimes. I feel like I am using 56k internet on this thing! It seriously takes F O R E V E R to even go through the contact list to make a phone call.
AND All the buttons are peeling off! Don't know if it's my makeup that makes it happen, but it's annoying & looks weird/gross.

Pros: Thin & Phat all at the same time - It'd cut like a knife through buttaCons: Sucks the life outta the battery - it's a little wobbly like a booble head on it's hinge after a yearSummary: Vowels are great on Wheel of Fortune - but Motorola struck it rich by leaving them out of the RAZR. The rest of the line just doesn't have the same panache as the original.
This is a great little phone, thin light and totally phat. The keys are great for playing usa today sudoku to my heart's content and the display is great for searching for my favorite wildkittens scores on yahoo.
Really, to tell you the truth. I like it, but I'm looking to replace it with the U740 and it's full keyboard action. I donno about the small number keys tho, bro.
By: Matthew Cholankeril on Monday, April 09, 2007 From: New York, NY (United States) Experience: 40 Weeks
Pros: Very slim, and light, and all the basic feature you need in a cell phone, along with bluetooth compatibility, and speakerphone, and a video camera in addition to a regular cameraCons: Battery life is not great, it gets 2-2.5 hours talktime, but that is the sacrifice for such a small phone, and also I would have like a feature for ringing and vibrating for an incoming call that my old phone, it was quite convenientSummary: Overall this phone is great, since all I use it for is basic things, like calling and text messaging. Except for some minor things like lack of ringing and vibrating simultaneously for an incoming call, I would have preferred a longer battery life, but I knew about its short battery before I bought it. Other than that its great, it's small, light, and has plenty of features
By: eab3 b on Sunday, March 18, 2007 From: santa fe, NM (United States) Experience: 4 Months
Pros: thin profileCons: absolutely worthless batteriesSummary: I own 2 RAZR V3m phones. The batteries die after making approximately 3 to 4 calls each lasting only 10 - 15 minutes. I went back to Sprint and explained the problem. They exchanged the batteries AND the phones as well. I thought to myself "GREAT" that takes care of the problem. WRONG!-They also die after approximately 45 minutes of use. And just to clarify: I only use the phone as a phone - not for browsing, photos, etc., the backlight setting is minimal, vibrate is off, and the Li-ion battery does not have a re-charge "memory". 4 phones/4 batteries = 4 lemons.
By: Melissa Coplak on Monday, March 12, 2007 From: Astoria, NY (United States) Experience: 3 Months
Pros: Very reliable phone, comfortable for holding between your shoulder and ear when talking, loud volume.Cons: none.Summary: This is a very reliable phone, no wonder it's so popular! I love this phone because its easy to talk on while juggling it on your shoulder, it also has a nice large color screen to see pics on, comes with a decent camera too. So far I have found no disadvantages to this phone.
By: Max McLean on Wednesday, February 14, 2007 From: Pontiac, IL (United States) Experience: 3 Weeks
Pros: It saves lives, Its sleek and stylishCons: The screen is too bright sometimes, bad receptionSummary: THis is overall a great phone, The only bad things are that it gets bad reception and the screen adjusts itself.
By: Billy Mais on Saturday, January 27, 2007 From: Lees Summit, MO (United States) Experience: 7 Months
Pros: get to know your local cell phone companies customer service reps real wellCons: poor quality,battery quality very poor,easily overheats,crashes like a cheap computerSummary: In the past 6 months my razar has been replaced by my cell provider at least 6 times. The screen flashes and none of the functions work,then you have to disconnect the battery to be able to shut the phone off. Most of the time it won't ever power back up,but on occaison you get lucky and the phone lasts a few more days.
By: Justin Melvin on Wednesday, January 24, 2007 From: Ashland, KY (United States) Experience: 4 Months
Pros: Great service, very easy to handle, small compatible and its a good phone for a low and cheap price Cons: Breaks very easily, easy to lose, and its way too thinSummary: The Motorola Razor is overall a very good phone to buy there may be some down falls but the pros over the cons win. Many phones don't have the qualities of the Motorola Razor, it gives you many options to choose from.
By: steve whiting on Friday, January 12, 2007 From: cleveland, OH (United States) Experience: 15 Months
Pros: used 1 heavily for 15 months with no problem for 13 of themCons: Batteries and recharging problems as soon as the warranty ran out.2nd RAZR was rarely touched but screen flickers constantly. Manf. wants $75 @ to repair.Too fragileSummary: Too fragile for the price not a great value.
By: Carmen Moore on Saturday, January 06, 2007 From: Kingsport, TN (United States) Experience: 2 Months
Pros: It is very cute and has useful services such as VCast and you can make movies.Cons: Unless you have a cover on the front, it is hard to flip open.Summary: I really recommend this cell phone because of it's cuteness and usefulness.
What’s Good: Universal landscape mode and universal landscape QWERTY; optically-enhanced action button functions as a scroller or track pad; appropriate use of haptic feedback and accelerometers; excellent 5 MP camera with LED flash, auto-focus and face detection; secondary cam for video calls; embedded GPS; FM radio and overall A/V-friendliness; large, welcoming and sensitive screen; it's a generally comfortable phone that makes you feel cool...
Part 2 of Noah's 2-part review of the BlackBerry 8220. The first-ever BlackBerry flip phone hides the buttons away for a sleek look, but does it have the juice to keep Crackberry addicts happy?
Part 1 of Noah's 2-part review of the BlackBerry 8220. The first-ever BlackBerry flip phone hides the buttons away for a sleek look, but does it have the juice to keep Crackberry addicts happy?
The first ever flip BlackBerry is a winner, so long as you play to its strengths. While the 8220 is very large for a modern day flip phone, it's lightweight and slick looking enough to trick you into thinking it's a little smaller than it really is. I've had the 8220 for just under a week now, and I very quickly grew used to carrying it around in my pocket. No, it's not as thin as a RAZR or as small as a low-end sliderphone,...
If only my BlackBerry would flip shut! Hey, it does! Noah unboxes the new BB Pearl Flip 8220 for T-Mobile and gives us a (long) quick tour around the phone.
Lane Jensen in Oregon here and I have a great trick that works for all Verizon phones to get better signal. First, you need to be within about a 5-10 mile radius of where you are going to use your phone the most. Secondly, instead of dialing the normal *228 for activation, dial *22899 and it will take you instantly to the programming music and update your phone. No more having to go through the prompt and listening to the same old voice saying,...
Fierce! It's the unique new LG Lotus for Sprint - a square-shaped clamshell with a full QWERTY board inside. GPS, Sprint TV & Music, 2MP Camera, HTML Browser, Mobile IM and Email ... Noah checks out this fashion-forward feature phone.
Hey, look what just came! Thanks, Vanessa ;-) Here are some photos of the black LG Lotus for Sprint. The QWERTY board feels GREAT so far, as those bubbled chiclet-style keys make up for the relatively small size of the layout. Sprint's new One Click UI is sort of cool and helpful and sort of overdone; I'll have to play with it more, but I hope it winds up being handier more often than it gets in the way. And I'm...
It's the ruggedized Samsung a837 "Rugby" for AT&T. It's the Crane of Death in downtown Berkeley, CA. Push to talk technology meets a giant crane. But will Noah have the guts to scale the crane to drop the phone? Find out here!
Heads-up, phone phans! Nokia's planned an announcemnet for next Monday, October 13th - and has a viral campaign to hype things up in the meantime - and Motorola's announcing something new and "Clear" (as per their PR campaign) on Tuesday, October 14th. My bets? I have no idea what Nokia's gonna drop, but I bet MOTO unveils the Kraze smartphone for Verizon Wireless.
Stay tuned for all of the juicy bits as we get them. And...
Out of the box! It's the newest AT&T 3G phone, the pearly white Samsung a637. Low-end means high-tech these days, and this candybar packs 3G, support for XM Radio Mobile & AT&T Music/Video, and a 1.3 MP camera with video capture.
Might this be a peek into our near-term future? I hope so. You're looking at the HTC T8290, a shiny, sleek, badass looking piece of kit from HTC destined for Russia's Yota network.
What's neat about this device, besides its obvious good looks, is that it packs both GSM and WiMax connectivity so you can get your voice and high-speed data on in style. There's a 3.8", 800 x 480 hi-res display for all of that content you'll be...
First off, how cool is it that HTC dropped some significant cell phone news on the blogosphere via Twitter the other day? I'm not saying Twitter itself is/isn't cool, but rather that it's neat to see a tech company innovate when it comes to communicating with the media. Particularly so a tech company that uses the word "Innovation" in their marketing materials.
Second, my post about the possibility of the HTC Touch HD coming to...
