Sleek Looking, Powerful Cell phone

Overall Rating:
4.2 out of 5
By: Ken Zeng on Monday, August 14, 2006
From: Staten Island, NY (United States)
Experience: 3 Months
Pros: -Battery lasts a very long time
-Motorola bluetooth wireless headsets work very well with this phone
-Cool styling, everyone seems to want one.
-Nice colorful screen.
-Picture and Video
-Loud speakerphone

Cons: -Not very much memory on the phone for video and picture
-Difficult to download ringtones, may just be my service
-Hard to find a good looking leather case
-Plastic snap case sometimes catches on things and the phone goes flying!
-Buttons are small and hard to push at times.
-Screen constantly getting smudged when phone is pressed against face in use.

Summary: Not a bad phone, I like the ease of use, and compatability with bluetooth wireless headsets. Phone is very slim and sleek. Packed with features, and I haven't had a problem with it yet, even with the occasional rough treatment.

Sharp Phone with Even Sharper features.

Overall Rating:
3.7 out of 5
By: Jim Euritt on Wednesday, August 09, 2006
From: Salem, VA (United States)
Experience: 4 Months
Pros: Slim, easy to use, fits the face good when using, decent battery life.

Cons: Some features can be confusing to learn, at least for me.

Summary: I had never owned a cellphone with a camera before. Once I learned how to take and send pictures, I was off! First, I took a pic of me and sent it to everyone to show them my latest look! I find it an easy and convenient method with keeping in touch and up-to-date with everyone. Phone even takes video and with a new kitten that has been a blast. Took some time for me to figure out how to download music and play it with the MP3 player but I am not up with the latest techno gadgets like I once was. Overall I would recommend the Razr to anyone.

Pros: Modern style

Forced to buy all extras

Overall Rating:
4.7 out of 5
By: Lisa Andrews on Tuesday, July 25, 2006
From: Yorktown, VA (United States)
Experience: 5 Months
Pros: Compact design. Sturdy Build. High quality camera.

Cons: Absolutely 0 freebies with purchase of the phone. Have to pay for everything.

Summary: As a phone, its a great phone. If you're looking for extras for free, look at a different phone.

Glad I made the purchase.

Overall Rating:
4.2 out of 5
By: Jackie Lowe on Tuesday, July 18, 2006
From: Eureka, CA (United States)
Experience: 14 Days
Pros: The Screen,
Sound Quality-on and off the speakerphone,
MP3,
GPS, and
decent battery life so far...


Cons: Lack of decent ringtones and trying to keep it looking clean (fingerprints!)

Summary: When deciding to make the switch to the Motorola RAZR V3m, I was very hesitant. For one, I had never owned a Motorola cell phone and secondly, I didn't think I was the "RAZR" owner type!

Well the V3m proved me wrong. I think the best part about the RAZR is the size of the screen and the clarity. It's really fun to navigate the menus and so easy to see.

Love It!

Overall Rating:
4.3 out of 5
By: Mary Whitfield on Friday, June 30, 2006
From: Charlotte, NC (United States)
Experience: 3 Weeks
Pros: I have to say that the most impressive feature for me so far has been the speaker quality. When they said the new model of the RAZR was a music phone I wasn't sure what to expect but my ringtones, MP3 music, and even just using the speakerphone are awesome. The camera is great and just showing people pictures on the display they are impressed by the clarity.

Cons: You have to be really careful with the phone if you do not want for it to get scratched up easily. I wish the video feature recorded for longer.

Summary: I am excited about my purchase and really enjoy using the phone. The phone has almost every feature and really does make having this phone fun!

    WiMax: HTC drops super shiny WiMax phone on Russia

    HTC T8290

    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...

    G2: HTC Touch HD not US-bound, but similar Android phone is

    More on next HTC Android phone

    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...

    Sidekick on steroids: First user review of T-Mobile G1 surfaces

    User review of G1

    An Android Community user - and T-Mobile Store Manager in Florida, apparently - who goes by kaziko has posted the first user review of T-Mobile's G1 Android phone.  The review - which takes the form of an ongoing forum thread - is summarized nicely in this post if you don't care to dive into the 11+ page thread. Of course, if you do there's text galore to tide you over until those G1s start shipping on the 22nd. So what's kaziko...

    Hands-Free: Driving with both earbuds in is NOT okay

    Driving with both earbuds

    For the past few weeks I've been considering writing a post about how California's law against driving while holding a cell phone has done pretty much nothing to curb the habit - at least in the Oakland/Berkeley area where I live and work.  Yesterday on my bike ride home from the office I figured out why I hadn't penned the post yet.  The law has done something, I think.  Sure, I still see at least three drivers with cellies in...

    T-Mobile @Home: First Impressions

    T-Mobile @Home

    When I first heard that T-mobile was offering a VoIP service, frankly, I wondered what could cause them to do such a thing, and what would motivate a customer to buy it. I've never paid much attention to VoIP because I've gotten so used to being mobile, 100% of the time. I went to my local T-Mobile store to check it out, and saw that they were pushing it as the hot new product. The service is $10 a month for unlimited calls, to anywhere in...
