Motorola RAZR V3
Cingular getting it sooner than you think
As I am a cellular phone maniac, and am dying to buy this phone when it comes out. I have been calling Cingular stores day after day all around the U.S.A. Finally I got some person with knowledge, she told me Cingular emailed them, telling them to expect the phone the first week of October. But, as the girl being a Cingular employee and you know that Cingular always delays there product. So then she told me just add on 2-3 weeks from Oct. 4, the last day of the first week of october. And that gets you somewhere like near Halloween or closer to November. So be on the lookout, no prices yet. But from all the estimates I'm getting, $300 for a 2 year contract and $400-450 for no contract.
Hope this helps

We got an email this morning saying the release date was now set for sometime November. Docwhiplash got the average retail price right too, it's gonna be one expensive phone. Thank god for the motorola learn to earn program =oD
November??? For real???
Ya know, if Motorola & Cingular keep procrastinating on the release of this phone it is gonna be released opposite or near the time the Nokia 6255i is released...
Although the 6255i is a slightly larger phone, it has *many* more features than the RAZR V3 and will probably be cheaper. Combine that fact, and that Verizon would have the Nokia 6255i on their network with their arguably better coverage, and I don't think that the RAZR V...

In comparison to other Moto's that are or will be on the market at the same time, this doesn't have too many features that you can't find elsewhere (Save longrange BT). The phone's biggest selling point is the materials used in construction and the fact that it's DAMNED thin. The price will be a HUGE turn off for most people, who don't really wanna even pay $50 for a phone if they don't have to.
I think this is more of a design excersise than anything. It's showing what can be done, what probably will be done, and how their current design dept. thinks a cell phone should be. This is kinda like that REALLY cool concept car that...

For me, the price of a phone is not a big deal. As far as the features go, perfect feature set for me: PC synch, bluetooth, contacts list & calendar and hopefully hands-free voice-dialing thru a bluetooth headset... That last one may be a deal-breaker for me if it turns out that the phone does not support it, although people on here are claiming they believe it does, so we'll see...
What I also really like is the type of materials they used in the construction of the RAZR that gives it part of its awesome look. That and the fact that it is so thin & small. I have been doing a lot of sear...

I forgot to say in my previous post, the long-range bluetooth is one of the features I do *NOT* like... I wish it had the normal "short-range" (10 meter) bluetooth so I wouldn't have to worry about someone down the hall at work synching with my phone! lol
cheers again,
