Amazon.com Product Description
You've probably seen the wildly popular Motorola RAZR V3 in someone's hand before. With the quad-band GSM RAZR V3i, Motorola has made it even better. The sexy design is still here, as is the all-metal construction. This time, though, the phone boasts an updated and streamlined design, enhanced video capture and playback capabilities, a 1.23 megapixel camera, and a hot-swappable MicroSD memory card slot.
The RAZR V3i adds key enhancements to the wildly popular RAZR franchise. See it in more detail, open and closed. |
Design
At .55 inches thick, the RAZR V3i 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. A large 176 x 220 color display with 262,000 colors dominates the inside of the top cover. 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 1.23 megapixel camera lens is housed above this display. Up/down buttons are placed on the left side for volume control.
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, but the phone's enhanced mini-USB connector supports compatible stereo headsets.
Calling Features
The RAZR V3i'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 V3i is Bluetooth enabled, wireless headsets can be configured with the phone for total handsfree operation.
Messaging, Internet, and Tools
The RAZR V3i is a messaging and wireless Internet powerhouse. 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. There's also a built-in web browser for mobile Web downloads and browsing via data service from Cingular. You can also sign up for Cingular MEdia Net service, which lets you read news headlines, get weather updates, download games and ringtones, and more. If you need email on the go, the V3i comes with an email client that supports IMAP, POP3, and SMTP email standards. 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.
A number of handy software tools are bundled with the RAZR V3i 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.
Imaging and Entertainment
The RAZR V3i's 1.23 megapixel camera bridges the gap between phones and quality digital cameras. The digital zoom-enabled camera is also designed to capture video. You can even print your shots on a Bluetooth-enabled printer. Embedded animated screensavers and full screen wallpapers are built-in so you can set up the RAZR V3i to suit your tastes. The phone supports games, as well as gaming connectivity via Bluetooth.
The RAZR V3i is a serious music phone, and thanks to integration with iTunes, it makes a great digital music player. Using the included software, sync the RAZR V3i with your iTunes library on your PC or Mac and listen to up to 100 of your favorite songs while you're on the go. iTunes software on the phone lets you shuffle your music library or select songs by artist, album, or playlist.
Vital Statistics
The Motorola RAZR V3i weighs 3.53 ounces and measures 3.86 x 2.09 x .55 inches. Its lithium-ion battery is rated at up to 6.67 hours of digital talk time, and up to 310 hours of digital standby time. It runs on the GSM/GPRS 850/900/1800/1900 frequencies. The phone comes with a one year limited warranty.
Customer Reviews:
I love this phone and the Cingular service.......2007-05-17
Bought the phone and activation from Amazon. The phone was free and I received it in two days. The network has better coverage than Verizon, Sprint or Virgin ( Marin County California, north of San Francisco )
The phone can be easily modified, which I've done to make the Bluetooth earpiece and iTunes wired earpieces louder. There are much more extensive mods you can do and great web sites that lay out how to mod this phone.
iTunes works great, I can put as many songs on it as I want, though I'm limited by the 500meg card, which came with the phone.
The phone is solid and well constructed, Bluetooth works great, syncing ( Mac ) works great. Voice dial through the Bluetooth earpiece works great. Made customized ring tones in iTunes on my mac, love this.
The menu's are not the most intuitive or logical, but this is no major drawback, as they are 'figureoutable'.
The free phone, of this quality, combined with rollover minutes and Cingualar to Cingular free minutes ( unlimted and most of the people I talk to are on Cingular as it turns out ) makes me a very happy customer.
It plays my iMovie videos, too!.......2007-05-16
So, I got the phone a little over a week ago, and I've been playing, uploading pictures from our computer for the address book, audio files, etc. (you can put more on the memory card and listen to them once you hit the iTunes limit, just not using iTunes)
I was also able to transfer the .mov files I make in iMovie into .3gp files using Apple's Quicktime Pro ($29) and put a bunch of them on the phone (it compresses them quite a bit, but they look as good as many of the videos on the net)- a 40 minute video reduced down to only 22MB! Voice, etc. is fine. Now I can take my vacation movies I took with our Sony camcorder with me everywhere and bore the heck out of *everybody*!!!
Great Phone but song Limit!!.......2007-03-17
I love my New Razr phone. The camera works great and the video is
acutally very clear on my phone. My only gripe so far is that
I have a 1 GB micro sd card but i can only hold 50 songs on my phone.
which means that i have a lot of room for more songs but my phone limit
is 50!!!! well at least i can take over 999 photos and 999 minutes of
video. over all I do love my phone.
Hope this helps!!
If your phone breaks, dealing with Wirefly is a nightmare.......2007-03-15
Apparently the Motorola V3i has a reputation of suddenly not working:
[...]
We weren't aware of that when we purchased this phone through Amazon, via Wirefly. We received our phones last week. Yesterday, my husband's phone just stopped working in the middle of a call between his Razr and mine. He hasn't been able to make or receive any calls, he can't check his voicemail through his phone and his phone is basically now a very nice paperweight with some cool ringtones.
It's not the cellular account or phone line, because we switched out the sim cards and his works in my phone, but mine doesn't work in his. The phone basically just crapped out after a week of use.
The instructions included in the box say to contact Wirefly for a Return Merchandise Authorization number within 15 days of activation. I called Wirefly and, after waiting for several minutes for a customer service rep, spoke with a man in India who was really difficult to understand. He told me that, before they could do anything about the phone, I had to contact Motorola and confirm that the phone was defective. Once that was the case, I could contact Wirefly again and they would process a return and replace the phone.
I called Motorola and explained the situation. Another person who was difficult to understand told me that my optins were to:
a. Call Cingular to see if they could do anything to fix the problem.
b. Take the phone to a Motorola store and have them check it over there.
c. Send the phone in to Motorola for repair.
She claimed that the problem should be reparable - despite all the evidence to the contrary that I've seen online. Basically, certain ones of this model of phone just stop working for no apparent reason and have to be replaced.
I didn't think Cingular could do anything since it appeared to be a phone problem and not a service issue. I also didn't want to take the time to mail the phone back to Motorola to see if there was anything they could do to fix it, so I asked for the location of a Motorola store near me. She asked for my zip code and put it in to her search along with a 50-mile limit, and she couldn't find any locations. Mind you, I live 20 miles away from Seattle, but her search didn't find anything and was limited to searching from a specific zip code. She couldn't tell me what stores are in Washington state or even how many Motorola stores are in the U.S.
No matter what question I asked, I would just get rote answers from the answer sheet she was obviously referring to throughout the call. I finally gave up and moved on, next calling Cingular.
Cingular Customer Service was great. They were prompt in answering the call and tried several different things to see if they could fix the problem with the phone. When none of them worked, they transferred me to Tech Support to see if they had any other methods that might fix the phone. When they found out that the sim card still worked in another phone and a different sim card didn't work in this phone, they confirmed the phone itself was defective.
I explained the problem with Wirefly, and the Tech Support Rep offered to call Wirefly while I held and confirm the defective phone so that they would process the return. It took quite a while with both of us on hold before he was able to speak with a Wirefly rep. Once he did that, he brought me back on the line and said he'd squared it away with them and that they would help me with the return.
Unfortunately, shortly after I was reconnected to Wirefly, the rep said she needed to put me on hold to get information and would be back in 2-3 minutes. She came back from hold and said since the phone was brought from Wirefly via Amazon, I had to contact Amazon about the return. She gave me Amazon's phone number.
I called Amazon, and the recording referenced their returns website. I checked it out, clicked through the fields to see what it said about returning the phone, and it referred me back to Wirefly. I was still on the phone with Amazon and got through to a Customer Service Rep with them. She confirmed that Wirefly was responsible for replacing/returning the phone and that they have an agreement with Amazon to do so, and she offered to call Wirefly with me on the line. She tried to make the call, but Wirefly's "customer service" had apparently closed for the day. Now I'm back to calling Amazon tomorrow to try to get this resolved with their assistance.
Basically, Wirefly keeps giving me the runaround because, for some reason, they don't appear to want to replace the phone with one that actually works.
The phone that *does* work is great. We can get service in our house, which we couldn't with our last cellphone provider, and the phone is fun and has lots of great features. And I realize that sometimes certain products don't always work and you might need to return or exchange them. But the frustration we've experienced with a week-old phone and a company that doesn't want to make things right is just ridiculous.
I'd never purchase anything through Wirefly again.
Great LOOKING Phone, but FRAGILE.......2006-12-12
No doubt about it - the phone looks sweet. The sound on the phone is clear and I seem to have better reception than my last motorola.
Having itunes on here is really convenient. No need to carry my phone and my ipod on short trips. I just use the included headphones (which I think sound pretty good) and jam away. If I recieve a call, the music pauses and I can talk (the headphones have a mic on them). After I'm done, the music comes back on. I thought that listening to music would drain the battery quick, but I had these on for hours at the S.D. Zoo and I had a lot of power left.
True, there is no standard mini jack enabling you to use your own headphones, but it does include an adapter that goes from the phone to a mini jack.
BUT!! The phone is pretty fragile. Cingular won't even insure the thing which makes you wonder if motorola hurried through the testing phase on the phone just to 'get it out.' I've gone through THREE plastic panel covers (or whatever they're called) because they crack VERY easily. This is the piece that covers the time on the front. If you plan on wearing jeans and having this phone share a pocket with your keys - think again.
Cingular DID send me a whole new phone, thinking my first one must have had something wrong with it - and no, the piece has not broken yet. But of course, I'm totally babying the thing now (but still no case for it - why buy a super thin phone if you are then going to pad it all fat with a case?)
If this plastic piece stays in tact, then this will be my best phone yet - if it busts, then well, I'm probably just going to buy another plastic piece.
Hope this helps.

Great phone.......2007-06-17
I've read some of the bad reviews and the biggest concern was the MP3 player. True, you have to buy a micro SD card, but I found a 2GB one here on Amazon for around $22. I only have a 512MB one because I upgraded from a Motorola ROKR that came with one. You also have to have a USB cable to fit, but it's a standard size one you can pick up at any discount store pretty cheap. The best thing about the MP3 player is it syncs easily with Windows Media Player. Just drag the songs from your library to the Motorola icon and click Sync. A couple little things to remember. The music files must be in either MP3 or AAC format and a bit rate of 128 or less. My small card will hold about 100 songs, so the 2GB should hold around 400.
RAZR is badass.......2007-05-22
Everyone says them Motorola RAZR suck! They break so easy blah blah blah. Well they're actually wrong. Motorola RAZR is actually one of the most sturdy phone I've ever owned. Its been dropped, fell in a puddle, thrown, stepped on, pretty much through hell and high water. And with the expandable memory card that you can buy its good for music but you can also make your own ringtones and use those. You can buy a program, cut the song shorter to like the chorus line and put it on your phone for a ringtone. And text messaging is easy with the T9 predictive text. Its easy and fast to text. So I would definally recommend the RAZR for anyone who is looking for a phone.
I LOVE THIS PHONE.......2007-04-15
dispite what everyone else says i found that the mp3 player is on the phone and that you do NOT have to buy a $40.00 package. it works great just add a sd card and rock on. it has every feature that i could ever dream of haveing. And once again the MP3 player IS built in and you do not have to buy the package to use it. the package is so you can download songs from the internet. just buy a usb firewire cable for your phone and use itunes to convert the song of choice to mp3 format move it to your phone and woooooooohooooooooo!!!!! rock and roll!! The Ringer ID and Pic ID is great. records video with audio. takes great pics. I LOVE THIS PHONE!!! MP3 player is located Mystuff>Games&Apps>Digital Audio Player.
Great the second time around.......2007-03-10
I had to exchange this phone the first time i tried using it because it had problems with the battery or something. But when they sent me a new one it worked out much better. This phone is a really cute color. It's very small and i love it. I can't think of any cons to this product.
MP3 Player is NOT built in.......2007-02-18
I have the same problems as some of the users below stated, and spend FOUR HOURS on the phone with Cingular with none of my problems resolved.
The MP3 player is NOT built in... you need to buy not only the $40 media kit with the USB cable and headphones but ALSO a $50 MicroSD Card EVEN THOUGH CINGULARS SITE HAS THE MICROSD CARD LISTED AS ONE OF THE THE INCLUDED FEATURES.... so if you want a $500 phone, go ahead an buy it.

hold the phone.......2007-02-28
I got it on time and it was what I wanted . good job
Excellent.......2007-01-11
The pouch is exactly what I wanted and works very well. The pouch was a little snug for my Razr with the snap-on hard shell at first but within a few days relaxed so that the phone now slips in and out with ease. The belt clip is very secure and well fastened to the pouch. I recommend it highly to anyone looking for this type of holder.

Customer Reviews:
Cheap but nice extention of battery life........2007-03-24
The battery is great and does extend the charge life of the phone admirably if you can put up with the extra bulk (though probably not as much as you'd expect). Please note that the new battery door is plastic and not aluminum like the rest of the phone. So it looks a little cheap. This wasn't a problem for me since I put my phone in a case anyway which covers the door.
