Motorola RAZR V3
Wow the V3 is terrible! Naked in Mink.
The phone is all flash and no substance. what kind of expensive executive type phone like this cannot be used as a contact manager? NO addresses or notes allowed? Please Even the SE520a can be used as a contact manager. MPT3 is a joke and extremily buggy. I feel bad for those who bought this phone for $500 when it was first released.
The Moto SW is terrible
I have and love my MPX220. IT blows away the V3 in evry category includng picture quality.I like the SE520a as well
However, it is the best phone I have ever owned in terms of making, receiving, and holding calls, but that's probably not that important to you...
The MPX220 smaokes the Razr...hell the free SE520a smokes the V3...Its all flash and no substance.
They may as well be holding up a sign:
"Will work for attention"
Find me another offering that is 1/2 inch thick and I'll consider it feature to feature. THAT's what sets the RAZR apart (RAZR thin, get it?) AND it's what makes it the best phone I've ever owned. In fact, it's just the opposite of what you've said - it's because I can keep it HIDDEN in my pocket that I love the phone, instead of being on my hip or creating a "glad to see you" bulge 😉
I could care less about attracting attention with my phone. I also could care less about managing my contacts on my phone - I have a PC to do that, and MPT does a more than adequate job of transferring the info to my phone. However, if you're dissatisfied with MPT, I understand Handset manager does a better ...

A person naked, in mink, would be enveloped in the epitome of luxury. So, by describing your day with the V3 as like being "naked in mink" it is to say that you realized you were surrounded in luxury and thoroughly enjoyed the sensuous pleasure.
for me all flash no substance ays it all
Its not the first time people paid too much to be thinner though. For someone who does not caare what "other people think" you sure are defending ourself with vigor!
A legitimate rason to own a Hummer? Lets see.
"Look at me"? That the only one I can think of. They are too wide for off roading and you can take out a block of parked cars with the lack of right side visibility. Sorry I have to laugh when people pay for flash.
As for offroading, ummmm, I believe the H1 is significantly wider (and therefore impractical for civilian street use) and gee, that seems to do OK. 🙂
As bbbsport pointed out, it's the size of the phone that makes the RAZR special. That and the fact that "as a phone", it's one of the best on the market.
You probably shake your head at someone driving an Acura NSX because it only seats 2 and has minimal storage, thinking they should have bought a BMW 735 with all the bells and whistles...
I do prefer Gadgets that actually work well at what they do. I would think a decent contact manager in a phone is hardly a gadget. Especially in a phone that cost $500 a year ago and that has a screen large enough to read a book on. Really.
Motorola sucked in alot of "me too" people with a glorified "thin" entry level featured phone.
Since you conviently sidestep this argument, one can only assume you're really interested in a gadget and in berating those that find value in a phone that exceeds the stated criteria.
As for the MPX220, all the reviews and word of mouth evidence report that this series of phones is buggy with bad RF (it can't make and/or hold a call). That doesn't fit the bill of a good...

There's a great line in "Broadcast News" where a statement is sarcastically posed to Holly Hunter about how it must be nice to go through life thinking you're always right, and that everyone else is always wrong. Her responce is that it's actually terrible, demonstrating that, in her emotional immaturity, she hasn't yet realized that narrowmindedness is a choice..... 🙄
The Camry is the "understated" version you were looking for. The Avalon is actually closer to the guy you describe, who wants to pretend he has "Lexus" class but just can't pull it off because of spotty credit.
The guy you SHOULD be attracted to would never consider any of those, because they aren't cars, they're dispassionate "appliances." Shoot for the guy that buys a "preowned" "driver's car," and keeps it spotless. He has passion in his soul, knows what he wants, understands the value of not overpaying, doesn't need the "latest and greatest," an...

Bad choice. The Avalon is a "compromise," half Camry, half ES330. So the Avalon is, like the Lexus you abhor, appealing to people that are willing to pay more for greater creature comforts.
