"RAZR.....the cutting edge."

The bad: Bigger fingers will have to be careful when pushing the buttons.

Summary: I decided to update my cell phone from a Motorola V188. I chose the RAZR V3 because I wanted a phone with a little more substance to it than the micro phones on the market today. I was pleasantly surprised when the phone arrived only two days after placing my order. It is light.....really light. But you don't feel like you're going to break it by using it. It feels sturdy when open for a call....the hinge seems like it's good quality. The display provides a vibrant and colorful experience. I have been downloading new wallpapers and ringtones from my own PC to it using a program from Susteen. I did have to provide my own cable for this, but a regular USB with a mini connector is perfect and can be bought just about anywhere. I love the fact that I can charge it from the PC, or the travel charger. The user interface is very nicely done. The buttons are all on one piece of metal that has been etched by acid so that it's backlight can shine through. It is very easy to use and carry. There are several holsters and pouches that you can get for it at a reasonable price. It's speaker is very loud for a cell phone. The MP3's that I put on it for ring tones come through crystal clear. It will hold quite a bit of information....I haven't filled it up yet. Reception is better than any cell I've used and reaches places my old phone from the same service couldn't get to. I like the mini display on the outside of the casing. It's picture isn't the best quality, but for what it is, it's not bad. The camera takes great pictures although the shutter speed leaves something to be desired. All in all, the best phone I've used.
