Summary: My Phone
Comment: I love this phone. I have not had any problems and it works great. The sound levels are great. The quality is not a problem at all. I have purchased the software to go woth Motorola and that has made it easier to load all of my phone book. The program makes using my phone as easy as waling down the hall. It is a great phone for even my 11 yr old.

Summary: Pale Face Moto
Comment: My first impression when I saw the phone in person was that I had never seen a more pale shade of gold. But of course that is a subjective issue. The real problem was that the battery would never charge more than one bar, and then go down; I had to send it back. Amazon promptly refunded the cost. I then purchased the same model in a different color from another AT&T authorized dealer. It was almost free with two year contract extension. (I want phone service anyway and there's no discount for not taking the phone.) The new one charges properly. The first one may have been a fluke. Motorola has fixed a couple problems that the old V3 models had. (I had five V3 models) 1) On the V3 phones, when I used blue tooth, the I.D. ringers would switch to default ringer. 2) The blue tooth would shut off and the phones would hang up when the phone was within 50 feet of an operating microwave or a 2.4 gigahertz wireless device. The V3xx is not bothered with these problems. One strange occurrence though, once when I changed batteries, the phone lost my pictures from the phone's internal memory. The factory sample pictures remained in the internal memory and the micro SD card memory was not effected. So far it hasn't done it again. Contrary to one other report, this phone can use a 2GB card. On some settings the camera displays pictures with a purplish cast compared to the old V3. Changing the setting seems to improve it. The phone's music player works well, but certain bass notes are distorted and I've tried different headsets and compared the same music and same headphones on a Sansa MP3 Player and it was not distorted. Once when connected to a Motorola S9 Wireless Stereo headset, the right channel and right controls went dead. I thought the headset had failed, but discovered that after removing the phone battery and then restarting the phone, the functions were restored. (Like rebooting a computer?) So far, another one-time occurrence. The phone section has performed wonderfully and as you could guess, I really like the Razr styling.

Summary: at least it's pretty...
Comment: The Man(tm) and i renewed our contract with pacbell/cingular/cingularatt/cingular/att just recently. i've been hankering for a new cell phone (since i lost my previous one and was using one my friend gave me, which was older than Methuselah) and was willing to shell out the coins for this gorgeous gold razr. and lucky me, unless you live in compton and have a deft desire to either be shot to death for carrying something so pimpalicious or is one yourself, i'm probably one of the only few non-ghettolistas who will be carrying this beauty for the next two years. well, okay, so perhaps a few wanna-bes will want to carry it too... probably one of those useless dolts living in the thick of orange county - you know, driving enormous SVUs (still), going to their get their nails done every thursday between matilda's ballet practice and mason's taekwondo training, getting "homemade" dinner from whole-food's prepared meal section, wearing tons of juicy couture as if it's really... couture... - yeah, well, they might carry these too in due time. but not only as an official resident but also the honorary empress in the land of poonty-crack between LA and OC, i will probably be one of the first one to carry this. and i must say, after all that unnecessary rambling, that it's a sweet piece of... stuff. it looks pretty. it matches my new highlights.

this is the first that that both The Man(tm) and i do not have the exact same phone either. (we've got the family plan thingie.) i paid $99 for my gold razr. he paid nada for his samsung sync. (they just received it only 2 weeks ago at our local best buy!) and he got the last red one too.

if you're into the pretty thing and reallllly want this phone, go for it. it's tight. makes you feel all pimpalicious and wanna say that you're on first name basis with the boys from miami ink. whatev. and in comparison to the sync, it's definitely sleeker looking and... well, it's gold, for crying out loud!!!

but that sync's got some vibe. mine has 1.3 megapix - whoopdee doo... until you see his sync, which has 2. the memory card? mine only takes up to 1 gig - his can take up to 2. sound quality? his kicks major horchata. so... er... mine is pretty!!!

if i can somehow merge the fabulousness of the gold razr with the inner beauty of the sync, i think it'd be a perfect phone. however, isn't that like that one GE advertisement? i have to wait until beauty and brains merge one day...

point being? if you like pretty but less than substantial offering, go for the razr. if you want supergizmo that has a tip-calculator (!!! how effin' important is THAT?!!??! i used that function in my last LG like crazy!!) and the world currency converter... don't get the razr. you know which one i'm talkin' about if you want all that technogeeko goodness.

Summary: Like the razr
Comment: Not sure that I like the fact that it's slighlty larger than my old razr, but the upgrades are worth it. The 3G is definitely a faster connection than the old Edge (I use my phone as a data connect for my laptop). Although I haven't actually needed to store anything to the SD card, I like that I have that option, which my old razr did not. I like the razr overall, and decided to get another one instead of some of the other 3G options, and that was my main reason for the phone upgrade in the first place, because I like that I can slide it into my back pocket easily and it doesn't totally stand out.

Summary: LOVE IT!
Comment: I love this phone! It's one of the best phones I have ever owned and I would suggest it to anyone! I've been with every phone company and Cingular is my favorite. This phone, because of being G3, gets reception anywhere!

Editorial Reviews:

Featuring the perfect blend of broadband-like speed, dynamic multimedia capabilities, and cutting-edge design, the MOTO RAZR V3xx is the first Motorola handset to ship with High-Speed Downlink Packet Access (HSDPA) and EDGE technology. The iconic RAZR design is still here, as is the all-metal construction, this time, though, the phone boasts an updated and streamlined design, enhanced media capabilities, a 1.3-megapixel camera, a hot-swappable MicroSD memory card slot, and more. Simply put, the V3xx is the perfect combination of performance and style, and the perfect complement to Cingular service.

All the advanced features you could ask for (black version shown).

Design
At .58-inches thick, the RAZR V3xx is virtually the same thickness as the original RAZR. And like the original RAZR, the phone's design takes the standard clamshell form factor to the next level with an impressive, fully-anodized aluminum construction, and 60 MB of internal memory. A large 240 x 320 color display with over 262,000 colors dominates the inside of the top cover, while the outside cover of the handset sports a supplementary 96 x 80 full-color display that can display caller ID pictures, time, call information, battery and signal strength, and more. The integrated VGA and 1.3-megapixel digital camera is housed above this display. Use the VGA camera for live two-way video calls at up to 15 frames per second. Up/down buttons are placed on the left side for volume control, as well as the camera button and mini-USB port.

Most of the phone's features and on-screen menus are controlled by a five-way center button on the handset's backlit control pad, which is precision cut from a single sheet of nickel-plated copper alloy. A mini-USB port is provided, which, while useful for fast data transfer, can also be used with compatible USB stereo headsets. Note that the phone does not have a standard 2.5mm headset jack. Lastly, a charging port is placed on the bottom of the phone, and an unobtrusive internal antenna is safely tucked away, keeping the phone's design compact and portable.

Calling Features
The RAZR V3xx's internal phone book can hold up to 1000 contacts while the phone's picture ID system allows you to assign pictures to your most common callers. The phone also supports polyphonic ringtones as well as MP3 ringers, allowing you to use portions of your favorite songs to alert you to incoming calls. For times when you want to be discreet, there's a vibrating alert. A built-in speakerphone makes it easy to talk without having the phone to your ear while voice activated dialing makes calling your friends, family, and associates as easy as saying their names. Speaker-independent technology allows any speaker to dial numbers with the voice dialing system. And because the RAZR V3xx is Bluetooth enabled, wireless headsets for calling, and even wireless stereo headsets for music can be configured with the phone for total handsfree operation.

Messaging, Internet, and Tools
The RAZR V3xx is a messaging and wireless Internet powerhouse. With HSDPA and EDGE technology, the RAZR V3xx delivers broadband-like speeds for downloading, Web browsing, and data exchange. Leveraging these advanced capabilities, the RAZR V3xx allows for live two-way video calls at up to 15 frames per second, over the air music and video downloads, direct media streaming, and more.

Support is built in for sending and receiving pictures, text, graphics, sound, and video via messages. When used in combination with the phone's built-in still and video camera, MMS opens up a whole new world of messaging fun. And because UMTS and HSDPA support built right into the phone, you'll be streaming and downloading at speeds so fast your head will spin. Used in combination with one of Cingular's MEdia Max plans that supports Cingular Video (additional Cingular charges apply), the V3xx will allow you to play high-quality news clips, sports clips, weather clips, and more--right on your phone. And with Cingular's exclusive partnership with HBO Mobile and HBO Family Mobile, you'll never be at a loss for something good to watch.

There's also a built-in web browser for MEdia Net downloads and mobile Web browsing. Cingular's MEdia Net service lets you do more than just stream videos--it lets you receive and send emails, read news headlines, get weather updates, download games and ringtones, and more. iTap text entry, which is a technology that makes it easier for people to enter words and text on handsets, is built into the unit--a plus for mobile email and text messaging users.

Getting on the Internet is easy with the V3xx. When used with a Cingular data plan (not included) and the phone's Bluetooth or USB data capability, the phone can be used as a wireless modem for laptops and PDAs.

A number of handy software tools are bundled with the V3xx including a calculator with currency converter, a calendar, and an alarm clock. The phone can also be used with Motorola's Mobile Phone Tools PC application to manage and synchronize contacts, calendar, and other data with your PC. The phone also sports an airplane mode feature, which allows the user to safely use the non-wireless functions of a phone (such as music, games, or organizer functions) on an airplane during flight.

Imaging and Entertainment
The RAZR V3xx's integrated 1.3-megapixel camera and VGA video camera bridge the gap between phones and quality digital cameras. Animated screensavers and full screen wallpapers are supported too, so you can set up the RAZR V3xx to suit your tastes. Lastly, the phone supports java-based games and applications.

The RAZR V3xx is a serious music phone. When the feeling strikes you, jam out to your favorite music on the unit's advanced MP3 player. The phone sports a microSD/TransFlash memory card slot, so you can load up all your favorite music and bring it with you (memory cards sold separately). And because the phone supports MobiTV and MobiRadio, in addition to streaming video and TV, you can listen to your favorite radio station via the supported digital radio service--great for times when you feel like listening to new music (additional Cingular charges apply).
