Junk

I had one of the original RAZR enjoyed it, but the new RAZR V3a is junk, extremely poor signal, I also use a data card on my laptop, my phone will say no service while it is sitting beside my computer that is sending and recieving with no problem.  And the battery, you will probably want to buy 3 or 4 extra ones so you can make it through the day.  I start every day with a full charge, talk about a hour or two a day, but the battery will be dead within 6 to 8 hours of coming off the charger, not sure how this fits into the specifications that motorola gives, 3 hour talk time and 307 hours standby time, must have been smoking crack.

Why make such a bad phone?

That is the real question. I bought this phone back in May through alltel. At first I was surprised at the functons that it had, bluetooth, gps, nice design. But that camera won't take a picture of still life on a stick. That has got to be the worst cell camera in the history of man. After a while, I got bored with it really fast. So I decided to spruce it up a bit with a theme and custom ringtones. BIG MISTAKE!!!! I did something to the phone and it got stuck in a theme that replaced the original blue theme and it wasn't even halfway nice looking. I took it back to alltel and they couldn't help me. So I contacted motorola and they sent me software that would fix the phone. Well it got all the things back that were missing, like the menu key, the date on the inside, and the original blue theme. But the celltop function was missing and the phone would switch off by itself, also it would switch off if I left it closed for awhile and would restart when I opened the phone. I mean I realize that a lot of the problem was my own stupid fault, but they could at least make the phone more personal. Most people's phones reflect who they are and what they like. Nowdays they aren't just communication devices. It makes me sick that they won't let you use custom ringtones on these phones. Come on what gives? Just give us a little something, you know. Next time make a better phone. One that people can really make their own and not just what motorola and alltel want to sell you.

Pros

Design
Size
Price(its cheap all right)

Cons

Can't use custom ringtones
Camera(if you wanna call it that)
Software

I got this phone about a year ago. I've NEVER dropped it, and the firmware is screwed up. I'll be in the middle of a text, and it will randomly reset itself.
It gets great reception
The only reason it has great value for money is because I got it free at my local Wal-Mart store.
Don't even waste your time on this phone.
