Motorola RAZR-V3 Pink Review - Entertainment
EntertainmentThe RAZR V3 comes with common applications such as Alarm Clock, Calculator, Datebook, Instant Messaging, and Voice Records. Motorola has also included their Motomixer application for remixing custom MIDI ringtones, a photo slideshow application, and one game, Jawbreaker, which runs on the J2ME platform. J2ME (Java 2 Micro Edition) allows users to purchase myriad additional games and productivity applications direct from Cingular or T-Mobile. With its built-in USB port and Bluetooth connectivity, the RAZR V3 is also capable of receiving new programs for installation direct from a computer, bypassing carrier-based downloads entirely. As the most popular mobile platform, thousands of J2ME programs have been developed by major software companies and individuals covering virtually every genre available. Some are free, but others require a small fee.

Recently, I have started to notice that instead of new features we are getting a lot of new colors. ... Libertyville, Ill. 18 July 2006 - Motorola (NYSE:MOT) announced a major milestone today with the shipment of the 50 millionth Motorola RAZR V3 handset. By introducing the Motorola RAZR, the company once again raised the design benchmark for the industry and unleashed consumer frenzy for the ultra-sleek “must have” mobile handset.
To celebrate the 50-millionth-unit milestone, Motorola and U.S. Cellular are hosting a series of exciting events... Since the days of the StarTac, Motorola has made its name on trend-setting clamshell handset design as much as it has on technical innovation. The V3 RAZR has continued this heritage of fashion-forward cell phone design, keeping Motorola on the tongue-tips of future first style mavens across the globe.
The RAZR line now includes a Verizon-compatible CDMA phone (the V3c) and two updated handsets not yet available in the United States: the V3i,... Cast more in metal than plastic, the RAZR's anodized aluminum exterior, etched metal internal keypad, and glass screen covers lend a subtle heft to this extremely thin phone. One's first impression of the RAZR is just that: "It's so thin!" Soon after, the second impression sets in: "And it's so wide." Measuring 98mm wide x 53 mm high x 15 mm thick, the RAZR is in fact both an extremely thin and rather wide phone. This flip can rest in your front... The Motorola RAZR V'3's 0.3-megapixel (VGA) camera is activated by pressing the Camera Key located on the left exterior of the handset. Both the internal and external LCD displays can function as viewfinders, though the internal is by far the more accurate display. When the phone is open, left and right key presses manage brightness levels, while up and down movements on the navigational keypad control the 4X digital zoom. The RAZR V3's digital... The Cingular and T-Mobile versions of the Motorola RAZR V3 are both GSM quad-band (850 / 900 / 1800 / 1900 MHz) phones which can be used around the world, provided they are unlocked. Built on Motorola's standard user interface, a basic menu structure provides a no frills fundamental navigation structure.
Motorola rated the V3's 680 mAh Li-Ion battery at an average of 5.25 and 240 hours (10 days) of talk and standby times respectively. However,... dont know if i can be much help but my experienc with razr phones is that you have to clear your messages befor you are able to send or receive messages. i am not much of a tech guy so someone with hacking skills may be able to give you better tips as to minipulating the phones system to bypass this inconvienince i have found if that is your problem. i hope this helped good luck:) Thanks for the information. Supposedly the V3c already comes with the LCD screen that has the slightly thicker gasket.
You can always take off the old screen and apply a thin bead of glue (removable type) or gasket sealer that also needs to be removable.
Just ask the guy at the hardware store for a removable sealer (Also it always helps to explain what you are trying to do) [8-|] Are all RAZR models affected?
I forgot - here is the step by step guide to replacing the LCD cover.

You can buy the screen here -> http://cnn.cn/shop/motoro...
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 screen for $5
Thanks YES the old dust under the screen issue is back again or should I say never went away.
The dust is getting under the LCD screen simply due to a gasket that is apparently too thin. Between having a thin gasket and static electricty it is enough to pull small dust particles past the gasket and annoy the hell out of the user everytime they use the phone.
You can order a new LCD display cover that has the improved gasket for about $5 +... [quote user="Ricardo"]
Now my Razr won't come on. In the last week or so, the display has been acting up a little.
I wonder if it's the battery? I'm going to the store today to find out.[/quote] I bought a new one today, and my old one's working again. The guy at the store says that the old one has a software problem. [quote user="Fareed.Mahdi"]
if the problem persists with bluetooth off you should contact the store where you purchased it. You should also consider purchasing an extended Lithium Polymar battery because they last a lot longer!!
Hope this helped
thanks

Is the Liquid Polymer battery the same size?
