Motorola Razr V3 review
BengalBoy 'SLICES' through the Mystery of Motorola
So, more memory for a faster responding menu and a better OS with particular attention to an improved and completely redesigned phone book are in order. If the phone book from my K700 was in there, I would declare it the best little phone available, even with the limited memory(after all, its a phone, not a Mp3 player or video player)....as it is....I'll just say that its the most Beautiful Designed and Constructed Cell Phone available period!!

1. uhh...THIS PHONE IS HORRIBLE!!!

Well this phone was nice when i first got it but after a while it went down hill. I liked it for a month, but you couldn't do very much at all with this phone. It's menu is like old motorolas and you can only hold a limited amount of texts. The phone is really pretty but that's it. The first month i had it the hinges were squeaky and i had to oil it. Then my phone wasn't working right at all and i sent it back to T-mobile and they sent me back one with the front screen's glass was all messed up and i sent it back AGAIN. Then i got the thrid one and it's keypads buttons don't work! So i went out and got a NOKIA 5310 XPRESS MUSIC! It's a really nice phone! I recomend the NOKIA!
It looks nice.(ONLY GOOD THING)
It doesn't have that much memory.
No memory card slot.
Really plain and boring.
Doesn't hold very many texts.
THE WHOLE MENU IS OLD LIKE EVERY OTHER MOTOROLA!
The battery cover doesn't stay on very tight.
You can't change the outside wallpaper.

2. RAZR V3...NOT AT ALL USER FRIENDLY

Ok, so, most people will think that it's the user who doesn't understand how to "work the phone." PLEASE!!! The major problem I had with it is the operating system is just PLAIN STUPID! I mean, to set up a speed dial, you have to save the number to the phone...not REALLY a good idea...It will not work a speed dial off of the SIM card like a Nokia phone can. Speaking of speed dialing, if you do "manage" to figure out how to use it, you will need to use three steps just to call your contact. I guess I'm just NOKIA SPOILED as with a Nokia phone, you just press the number, hold it, and that's all there is to it. I just don't see what all the hype is about...good looks aren't everything.
Looks quite nice and stylish...THAT'S ABOUT IT!Programming this phone is RATHER ANNOYING AND TIME CONSUMING...
No countdown timer, not a lot of E-mail memory...I thought that Motorola was a lot better than this product that they put out...they should study EASE OF USE AND FEATURES OF NOKIA PHONES.

3. From What I've Seen...

my freind has a MOTORAZRV3 MAGNETA and from what i've seen the phone preforms beutifully. the one thing i really dont like about this phone is that cruddy camera. it really does take the worst pictures i have ever seen on a cell phone. the sound quality is exellent, but the phone IS very easy to break, even if u hyper extend the clamshell. the phone also has java games, in which the graphics are pretty decent. the sreen display is really amazing, and the volume rocker is conviently placed. one annoying thing about the RAZR V3 is that the keypad digits can sometimes show up on the screen and the screen itslef needs a daily cleaning. overall the phone is nice and i highly recommend it for first time GSM users.

4. SCREEN PROBLEMS

I've been through three of these phones now (will be the last time I get one) and they've ended up having the same SCREEN ISSUES! At first the phone will just freeze once in awhile. The screen goes blank and sometimes it even shuts off. I have to take the battery completely out and then power up again. Then eventually the main LCD will not work, just has a backlight while the sub screen remains functional.
I loved the phone at first for it's style and ease of use, and I only stayed loyal to the model because of hating to learn new phones. When the first one broke I gave it another chance, the second one broke and I just remained fixated on not wanting the hassle and expense of upgrading. The third time my MAC user boyfriend was getting his coveted iPhone and just basically tossed his Razr at me. It is now having the same issue and I'm moving on.
Be warned!

I've had this phone for almost a year. I've been reading through the reviews this phone has received but frankly, i've never encountered some of the problems mentioned! Yes, yes, more memory would be great but oh well... The camera is not as good as some but it's not that bad. The camera has never frozen. Not quite enough message storage space for my liking (i can store about 50 sms's) but it's bearable because I dont keep messages for all that long anyway. I think it makes quite a good phone for talking and smsing though. It's nice and slim but also fits well in my hand and is fairly easy to find in a full handbag!

if u have lots of time to wait around on a the phone while it's incredibly slow processor does things, then this i the phone for you. i recorded a 5 second video clip with this phone and it took 2 minutes to save it wow!!!!
can you believe that 2 MINUTES TO SAVE A 5 SECONDS VID CLIP WOW!!!
also i pu t a video clip i dowloaded off the net onto the phone and guess what,i get an image but NO SOUNDS!!!!!
WOW!!!!
the phone freezes too much, the keys are awful and not very responsive. the camera quality sucks the speaker is low, the receiver is low, screen max brightness sucks. speakerphone has funny buzzing sound sometimes.
BATTERY LIFE 7 hrs yay 7 hrs of BS, but the phone needs it since it takes ages to do things so this runs down to you getting a couple hours talk time while the phone tries to keep up with you, if lucky u get to take 3 pics while the processor takes its time to render the image, u can't save much on it.
i've been through 5 of these and they all have probs.

i had the V3 for like, 6 months. wait that long before you review, because its really not a good phone.
the camera is awful,
theres no external memory,
the internal memory is smaller than miniscule,
the features aren't that plentiful,
the interface is s-l-o-w as,
the screen got heaps of dust under the screen,
and its just plain bad value.
although, the message button on the keypad was handy and the design is pretty good looking, even in 2008. i upgraded to a Nokia 6131 which is a much, MUCH better phone.
:]

10. Wicked Phone!

Personally, I think that the RAZR is a good phone...the best one that I have had yet. It is a bit slow, but what do you expect from new technology in such a slim casing? The photo quality is not the best, but it is good enough. Everything is easy to find on this phone, it get's a great signal out where I live (I live in a rural area), being that it is a quad-band. The memory is a bit shabby, but not to bad. Overall, I really like this phone, but it is not quite as good as the newer RAZRs (well...duh). I have never had a problem with it, and it works well, and doesn not break that easily.
