Hard to navigate with existing phone book information

Overall Rating:
4.2 out of 5
By: Jennifer Harwell on Tuesday, September 18, 2007
From: Everett, WA (United States)
Experience: 1 Days
Pros: This phone looks great, is fun to play with and have excellent voice quality.

Cons: All of the information I transfered from my sim card is problematic.

Summary: I just got this new phone yesterday, after 9 months of using the razer. My contacts are all in the phone, but none of the phone "types" transfered. So if I have three numbers for a person, I have to look at each number and hope I can remember what is the home/cell/work, etc. This wouldn't be so bad, but the formatting has changed from the razer to this rizr, so I can't seem to change the types in the address book, I can only designate the phone type when entering a NEW number. In addition, once I look at the number I wish to call, I can't scroll down to the next number to get the right one. I have to hit "back" to get to the list view again, and select to view the next one. What a pain!

Pros: Compatible with EDGE Network, packed with features, brilliant screen

Cons: Small screen, keys a little small

Summary: RIZR is a great little phone packed with features. Almost everything you can think of is on this phone. But the keys and screen are a bit small. Also there is very little accessories made for it yet.

Re: Need a phone for VZW

If you're not going to use the tv featue then the vx9400 is probably not the phone for you. The 8600 has some speaker issues and some people reported the flat keypad is difficult to text on. The

Hmmmm this may be Nokias' answer to the RIZR Z8? 3G speeds - world roaming - integrated music player ? We'll have to wait  

Re: Does anyone else have dust under their RAZR screen?

I have the same problem with my new Rizr. The phone is only 1 month old! You would think this would be a warrenty item. If they won't replace the screen where can I get the new LCD

tetris01:How does this phone compare to the new Z8 coming out in April?   The Rizr Z8 isn't a windows mobile phone nor does it have a stylus. It definately looks similar, but that's pretty

Re: Z3 RIZR - is it worth the money?

You can always try out the phone for two weeks to see if you like it. If not just return it (Make sure you keep the box)

Consider this when buying your next cell phone.

Re: Z3 RIZR - is it worth the money?

Poor battery life is to be expected when you purchase such a slim phone. The people that love and swear by Motorola's will love the phone regardless of any obvious

Re: Z3 RIZR - is it worth the money?

A couple of my friends purchased the Z3 and so far they really like the phone. The only complaint has been the screen is a fingerprint magnet.

Z3 RIZR - is it worth the money?

I was looking to trade in my Razr for the new Z3, but I was wanted to know if the phone suffers from the same poor battery life I am experiencing with my Razr. I really don't know that
