The features of the "RAZR" are alot like the Moto v300 and v330. The camera quality is not the best. The design of the RAZR is sleek and slim but wide. It has a tough time picking up a good signal but it also depends on the area as well. The phone is great, it has some great features. The RAZR is a great phone or very much like the v300. It has a thinner design but is it always better? It is not very hard to the brake the RAZR. You have to be very careful. I broke mine in just a week just by dropping it on a sidewalk. Luckily, a friend of mine was able to get a another one for a cheaper price. I dropped my old phone alot and it did not damage as quick as the razr. Overall the Razr is okay phone in my opinion.
PROS:
Bluetooth
sleek thin design
camera
good features
_______________
Cons:
Brakes very easily
camera qulity is bad
wide
hard keypad
Good Phone

I am surprised to hear others say this phone is horrible. I love it.! It is a large phone, but small. For a women in business, I like that I can have it clipped on my pants and you can't see it even under a tight shirt.
Pros:
Large screen
Takes videos, that rocks!
Blue tooth headset is the greatest thing ever invented. I don't know how I lives w/o it.
Cons:
I cant think of one thing wrong with this phone.
I feel it was worth every penny.
FYI, if you drop any phone expect it to break!! LOL
Service w/ T-Mobile has been awesome. I had worse service with another phone that was more expensive than the Razr.
I recommend this phone 100%
razr gone rokr
Deprecated: Function utf8_encode() is deprecated in /home/pscoop/web-prod/phones/user_reviews.php on line 1562
I started having doubts six hours after buying razr. I had some trouble with the keypad. After humouring customer service reps for twenty minutes, I decided to investigate some reviews and forums. This drew my attention then to a high pitched whining NOISE my LCD made (which although I hadn't initially noticed it, it seemed to get progressively louder). When I started to doubt if razr would outlive the contract I had to sign to afford it I knew it had to go. Top of the line equipment does not exhibit flaws out of the box. I "traded" down for a rokr, which basically does the same thing plus music plus sixty bucks to spend on a real machine. Well see how this goes...
pros
its gone from my life
cons
its reduction in size doesnt contribute much to its portability
its design deviates from ergonomic wisdom
I think it might be a phone for geezers
Hellomoto!!!!!

All i can say that this is the best moto yet!!!!!
black razor the name says it all
Deprecated: Function utf8_encode() is deprecated in /home/pscoop/web-prod/phones/user_reviews.php on line 1562
PROS: i love the look the black razor has i get alot of compliments on phone. i love the size and many features it has never stop playing with it .phone can hold alot of pics and videos also. CONS: phone has not so good ear piece you have trouble hearing in crowded areas even with ear piece on max, but still worth the money. i switched from 5 years with sprint 2 cingular and thats the best move i ever made i havent looked back. cingular has better coverage and service plans than sprint.thumps up 2 cingular.i live in memphis,tennessee and i havent had a drop call yet all my friends are switching from sprint 2 cingular. GO FOR IT YOU WILL BE GLAD YOU DID.
They Should Have Put Inches on One Side and Centimeters on The Other

This phone is good as far as reception goes, but it isn't that loud, it has one golf game which kinda sucks and isn't smooth, and it's a very, very long phone once you unfold it (which you have to do in order to do anything). As my titel suggests, it's better used as a ruler than a phone.
Pros
Slim
Lightweight
Solid Construction
Cons
Long
Volume isn't very loud
Beaurocratic Style Menu
With bluetooth on, battery life is severely deminished
What I mean by Beaurocratic Style Menu is everytime I wanna write a text message, I have to hit the mail button, create message, text message, and then start typing my message. After that, I choose who I want to send it to, and instead of sending it after I choose a person and hit "ok," it goes to one more screen (a pointless screen) that says something like "Text Message|Person" Sometimes I forget about this screen and if I close the lid, I lose my message. This phone pales in comparison to my Motorola A630 and even though I got it in August I have been waiting for a phone that doesn't suck, like the Samsung t809 to come out so I can get it and give this thing away to my girlfriend.
Amazing Phone

Design - The Impeccable Flawless design of the phone is really great
Features - (Text Messaging, Multimedia Messaging, Ringtones, Games, etc.)
Battery Life - the battery life actually lasts me 1 week on idle but most of the time im really busy and when i come home i power it off and plug it in by morning its ready for me to take to the days work again.
Call Quality - the call quality is fabulous ive had many versions of this phone and everytime i have broken it by flashing it. but everytime cingular has sent me a brand new full kit and now im up to the 358 imei and it works great i love it
Overall Opinion - my overall opinion of the phone is that its great i love it
Naked phone in Emperors clothing
Deprecated: Function utf8_encode() is deprecated in /home/pscoop/web-prod/phones/user_reviews.php on line 1562
Bought this phone. Kept it less then 24 hours and returned it in favor of a SE 520a,
Pros:
Looks nice.
Fits in pocket without bulging out
Big screen
Looks nice
Cons:
Too wide for small hands
NO ADDRESSES can be entered in ADDRESS book (deal breaker) For such a big screen I can not believe you cannot use this as a contact manager. I can use the SE520a with it's tiny screen!
Limited memory. SE has 4X the memory
Motorolas Phone Tools is TERRIBLE messed up my Outlook contacts and was unreliable.
Ear volume very low
Must open the phone to use Speaker phone
I have an MPX220 and expected the same kind of phone without Windows Mobile. Even The free Sony 520a Has the V3 beat in EVERY way feature wise and more.
I could probably say more but I saw enough and could not wait to get it back to the store and get the SE520a
Like i said the V3 is all flash. Its a cheap phone wrapped in emperors clothing.
3 days and already glitching
Deprecated: Function utf8_encode() is deprecated in /home/pscoop/web-prod/phones/user_reviews.php on line 1562
I bought a Motorola RAZR v3 just three days ago and have already had problems with the self portrait option not working and the inside screen glitching with a very pretty and colorful static. In addition I experienced a dropped call with full bars showing(T-mobile in Denver). The phone has not been dropped, exposed to moisture or any other adverse conditions. If I believed the RAZR was reliable I would be very happy with this phone but there is no way it would last until my one year contract is up.
PROs - sleek and compact
- large, vivid display
- good sound quality
- loud speaker phone
- blue-tooth worked quite well
CONs - the menu is a bit slow
- snapshot lag time
- lack of RELIABILITY
As I said before, if the phone worked it would be a good buy. If you choose to purchase this one I hope you have better luck than me.
