Motorola RAZR V3i / V3t / V3e / V3r
Average Ratings
JUST GOT THE PHONE
its great, i only ever buy motorolas cause i love the menus and all the features. i previously owned a v300,v551,v220,v635,v3 balck and silver and i just bought the v3i today i was waiting for it to come out it just came in stores for rogers 3 days ago, it has every option u can think of but its missing 3 things
-so lets go with the bad first
there is no flash for the camara it was really nice on the v635 and its weird you can get the v3x and it has flash but its not quad band
-and second the screen i wish it was all touch screen that woulda been awsome i seen the ming/a1200 and it has it that was a kewl feature i think im gonna order it in a few months
-3rd it could have used a better camara like 1.23 is all right but iv seen phones with 3.2 and 4 megapixals motorola should step it up
good things
-itunes
-memory card
-looks nicer than the original
-kewl blue light
-i like the k-pad but i wish it had the message button
"all around its the best phone iv ever owned"
So far so great!
Coming from a Nextel phone, this Razr is great. Slim design and so far no dropped calls. Although I only have had the phone for about a week, I am very pleased. I have heard the problems with the phone and so far I have not experienced any. Discussing these with the sales person from Cingular, they explained that phones from around Oct. thru Dec. had the wrong software. After doing some research, it seems as though those issues have been fixed and have not been mislead.
I recommend the insurance, just in case.
My only issues is that the phone does not give you many ring tones, wallpapers, etc. Sure you can download and pay for them, but for the price you pay for the phone you would think it would have better choices.
Alot better Looking than it Works.
I purchased this phone after having owned an AUDIOVOX PPC 4100 (which is a bit old for now a days).
I... like many people jumped on the RAZR Wagon. The phone looks amazing, its light weight, yet feels like a solid phone. I couldnt ask for a better looking phone.
My real issue with this phone is the lack of features that it has. Underneath the pretty shell of the Razr, you basically have just a simple 5o-60 dollar phone. This has been a huge turn off for me, which led to me selling the phone after having owned it for just 3 months. I know there are different versions of the RAZR, but this particular one the V3i just didnt cut it for me.
PROS
Looks Great
Nice Large LCD screen
Takes nice looking pictures & video.
Speaker Phone is Loud
CONS
Regarding reception. I'd be in an area standing still, and my phone would just loose reception, then in a minute or so, I'd have full bars. I have no idea why, and dont know if its normal.. but was very irratating. Especially when trying to send text messages
Lacks Instant messaging client AIM,YIM,etc
What a phone WOW!!!
This is a high quality, high class phone all the way!! it should erase any complaints people had of the original razr. it has a very clear digital camera, not that it was bad but an even clearer speakerphone, the same large screen w/ higher resolution,and you can no longer complain about the lack of memory. not only is the phones memory more than doubled, but it also has an expandable memory with a micro sd card slot. The 12 MB of memory the phone offers is nothing compared to the 512 MB card it comes with. which you can switch out while the phone is on!!
i also love the itunes. it doesn't have stereo speakers like the rokr, but to my ears i can't tell a difference. i can also use the headphones it comes with. I just might have found the last phone i will ever own. I find it to be that pleasing. I just wish Cingular would stop milking the v3 for all its worth and update to the outstanding v3i to complete its itunes series. This phone is not currently offered by any U.S. providers but is well worth the investment to purchase an OEM one from wherever you can find one.
V3R: Pretty Good Phone
This is certainly an upgrade from the regular Razr. It's pretty much the same phone, but with a new look, and a few more features! My experience with the Razr's have been good so I definitely recommend this phone all the Motorola fans.
PROs
-Excellent battery life, I charge mine every 2-3 days
-MP3 Player, very easy to use and sounds pretty good. (I use mine at work! SHH!)
-Love the new look, Fire Red and especially the blue glow it has
-Same set-up as the other Razr's
-Really loud when it rings
-Speaker-phone is nice to have
-Bluetooth capable, very handy while driving
-Video Record
-External Memory! For pictures, music, games, etc...
-Can use same accessories if you're switching from another Razr to this one
CONs
-Has a 1.3 Megapixel camera, which the pictures don't turn out that good, somehow the camera on my pink Razr was more consistent with taking better pics?
-Doesn't come with software, which I already had some for my other Razr so, once again, it didn't matter
Over all this is a really sweet phone, if you like the Razr series, you'll love this one!
Decent MP3's, Great Reception
The phone itself works great. I have always been a fan of the motorala phones, despite their flaws with ear pieces and the v220's and v180's terrible performance. here is a list of the pro's and cons i have found with this phone.
Pro's
Great reception
Non-I Tunes model holds up to 2 gigs of songs
loud speaker that sounds great
Same easy to use menu systems
decent camera 1.2
Good battery life considering the features
Con's
No high-speed data connections (edge, 3g)
voice activation could use some improvments
All in all the phone was well worth the money to me. I bought a european model and flashed it with cingular software, all i spent was 180 bucks, great deal!!!!
i am impressed
i had the v3c from alltel before now i have the v3i with t mobile. i will have to say say the only downfall is the t mobile but thats not the phones fault. the memory is the biggest improvement. my v3c had a great amount of embedded memory i mean 30 megs was pretty good i was just running out. the camera is the same on the i as on the c, which is ok. but the music player is great! motorola did good this time
V3i Very cool
OK let me start by saying I am a phone junkie! Is this the best of the best? Nothing is perfect. I came from a regular v3 in black and I like this better. OK so lets get on with the Pro's and Con's.
Pros
Great look
Battery life is great not sure why every one else is having problems.
I tunes is just way cool to me.
My phone is Unlocked big plus.
Great reception.
Ear piece is a little bettor than regular v3.
Picture quality is great.
Video also a plus.
Cons
Limit to 50 song down load.
All gsm Motorola Razors have a poor ear piece.
Few minor glitches with this phone as far as technical.
I have read the phone lights up with some funky colored key pad mine is no different from my V3.
All and all it's ok so far. One weak in testing. will get back to you.
What was that June 2nd posting about?
Poor battery?
Over six hours talk time isn't enough?
This phone isn't perfect, but it's close!
nice phone
this phone is definitely one of my favorites out there. i originally wanted the v3x but decided on getting the v3i because of the looks and because it is quad band(i live in usa). the phone does get fingerprints all over it, and they are pretty hard to clean. the Gprs is kinda fast i dont now why but i do know that it loads web pages and t-zones a lot faster then my old v600. the memory card is also a great plus. the external screen is pretty much useless for picture viewing; it lacks color. the internal screen however is amazing. the speaker volume is also something to brag about. If you live in the U.S.A. the phone is def. top notch and u should definitely consider it.
