Motorola RAZR V3m - Gray (Unlocked) Cellular Phone

The v710 was my favorite non PDA/Smartphone until the RAZR V3m. The "m" model contains a storage card capability and Now the v3m is my favorite non-business mobile phone. I tested the telephone for two weeks, while my Smarthphone was being updated.

RECEPTION
The reception is extremely clear; comparable to a landline or Vonage phone. During the two week trial period, there were not any dropped calls.

I was pleasantly surprised to the signal as I was accustomed to the Smartphone dropping the calls on the same line. The speaker phone works loud and very comparable to my TreoWX, without the typical cell phone feedback background noise

MP3
Fun, fun, fun. I removed the storage card from my HP PDA (2495) and TreoWX and used inserted it into the Razr...music and videoes galore! The songs and videos were very clear. Impressive.

CAMERA
The camera was typically mobile, nothing more nor less. A great tool for sending the spouse out as a grocery shopping tool or accident scene. The video function is a cute feature to be used as well indoors or daylight.

TEXTING
Keys are large and clear. The illumination is excellent in dark places. The response time for sending and receiving texts were also immediate.

BLUETOOTH
It synced with my PDA, headsets, Smartphones, and et cetera with great ease.

HEADSETS
Absolutely terrible. Useless. They hurt your ears! I also bought this telephone for my sister's as a graduation present; her only complaint - the headset.

DESIGN
Flip design. LOVE IT! Very very comfortable, making the bluetooth headset unnecessary. I was able to multitask while speaking, even on those long personal calls.

Thinness - fits nicely in front coin pockets, back pockets, and even those "hidden" places... even with the faceplate!

RECOMMENDATION
A screen cover is recommended to protect it from sweat.

OVERALL
Thin. Pretty, as a junior staff loves to call it..lol. Excellent reception. Durable. If a PDA/Smartphone is not needed then this is a great phone.

I have had a LOT of models of cell phone and I have to say this is the BEST phone i have ever had.

I keep it in a leather case to protect it and give some cushion if I drop it... which I have several times.

It is a very versatile phone, has decent sound quality for playing MP3's, GREAT video from Verizon Wireless' VCAST service, rings loud enough to hear and is a convenient option to carrying both Ipod and cell phone.

The digital camera as most cell phones today is only 1.3 Mega pixels so does not give great quality photos, but if I want to take pictures... I use my video recorder or digital camera... DUH!

The Razr is easy to personalize and very nice to carry since it is so small and light weight. The camera takes great photos and the phone connects easily to the computer by bluetooth connection or pc data cable. The batteries seem to hold a good charge and talk time is usually pretty long.

I've had many cell phones and many cellular companies. The Razr is by far my favorite cell phone.

One major thing everyone warned me about before I got it was that it is frail and easily broken. I've had it for a little while now and have dropped it numerous times. I'm rough on cell phones (ran one over with my car...oops) so I very hesitantly got a Razr. Like I said, dropped it too many times to count...sometimes on hard tile surfaces, other times on cement and on rare occasions carpeted areas. I've experienced no problems as of yet.

The Razr has several features that convinced me to get it even knowing the chances of breaking it. One is the fact that it is a picture phone and you can take short videos as well. The quality of both is good. You can have individual ring tones for people in you address book and can have a picture displayed when they call. The Razr is bluetooth ready.

It's slim and sleek. For those of you that are into tight clothes, you can slip it into that pocket on those tight jeans and still be able to breathe.

my phone hAs NOT KEPT A CHARGE for longer than a couple of hours at a time even on standby. this is my first time using ebay and i didn't realize that i could and should have contacted ebay. my loss
