Motorola Razr V3
 

SO I finally caved in and bought a Motorola Razr V3. ITS SUCH AN AWESOME PHONE. I have already had it one night and I am like damn money well spent. I used to have a Nokia 3650 before this that has recently started lacking in the reception department. The new phone definetly fixes that problem, as well as adds a beautiful "sound system" and display to the mix.

The question is?

Its a nice phone though... had it 2 months or so but still looking to move the operator information off screen... obscures my background!

That thing is absolutely gorgous. I hope some of the other companies catch on and start putting some thought not only into functionality, but also style.

Really really want one. What did you pay?

Was just looking at this in England looks a nice phone might be time to upgrade.

I paid 530 for the UK version, so I see it as a better deal than the cingular version, and AngelicVampire, check out www.howardforums.com to remove network branding from the phone, they have helpful tutorials. I think its worth it, but I will only be able to comment on it after I have used it for another week.

I hope T-mobile offers this phone in the US. I absolutely have to have it.

$530 USD?

Mothaf.....

Are you insane?
What about free phones when you go on contract?

I can upgrade to that for £49

the cheapest that Cingular is offering that one for is like $450. They are the only american provider that is carrying them apperantly.

Where you live? i want to come over and stea... umm i mean borrow your phone.

it seems that it will work on any network provided you provide the phone, and after searching cingular is the only services offering it with a new account set up but still running 499.99 with a 2 year contract. Too bad its missing the direct connect that is nextel's best feature.

I'm in the UK.

Mind you, you have to do a 12 month contract.

i quite like the look of all the new funky nokia phones...although some of them look like they'd be really difficult to text on!

For all your future mobile goodness.
I was waiting for the Motorola MPx to replace my mpx200 smartphone, but to be honest, I use half the features on my phone. I want to leave work at work.

I only want a slimline phone with tri/quad band for travel and a good battery life. That's all one needs really.

I saw one of those a few weeks ago at a Cingular store. It's just a cell phone. Granted it's an attractive, well-built cell phone with a lot of features, but it's not the mind-blowing work of art that everyone hypes it up to be.

I like my little Sony Ericsson that has a color screen, goes forever on a charge, and was free with my service plan.

It is a good design. It has also been designed without cost in mind. The height of luxury.

I am so suprised that many consumers seem to be stretching their expenses to pick them up. This is not critism, I just find that for myself functionality before design when majors costs are involved takes presedence.

If the commercials for that razor phone are to believed, it also doubles as a deadly weapon. I'd be too afraid of slicing my ear off.

I just ordered one a couple of days ago. According to the FedEx website it's on the truck to arrive today. I feel like a kid again - rushing to the door every time I hear a vehicle drive by.

V3 is so overrated

The phone is wide, it's not as light as it seems. In Malaysia it's the most expensive phone at RM2,700.

I'd rather get a Sony Ericsson S700i if you'd ask me. 1.3MP camera on that phone :)

But of course, if you already have the v3, you get loadsa attention with the phone :P Cousin has it, wouldn't mind having it, but would rather an Ericsson s700 :)

I saw a rich upper east side 12 year old kid in the street calling his mom with that phone....
I was like..OMG.
