Amazon.com Hands-On Review

When the Motorola RAZR V3 was launched last year, I think most everybody, including Motorola itself, was quite surprised by how popular the handset turned out to be, considering the asking price. Its slim profile and sleek silver colored metal body proved to be just too much of a temptation for the world, and people the world over jumped through hoops and over hurdles just to get one for their very own. Everybody was a movie star with one of these!

Black is beautiful.

Until, of course, Motorola gave 50 exclusive RAZR V3 BLK handsets to some real movie stars at the 77th Annual Academy Awards in February, 2005. All of a sudden, the silver RAZR lost some of its shine. But once again, it is time for the masses to rejoice. Motorola is making the RAZR BLK available to all.

Of course it isn't just the color that makes the RAZR V3 BLK such a desirable handset. One reason that people love it so is its size. It weighs only 3.35oz (95g), which is pretty light for a phone that has a largely metal body. At 3.86" x 2.17" x .57" (98mm x 55mm x 14.5mm) in size, it is actually thinner than most candy bar style phones on the market. It can be slipped perfectly into a shirt, suit, or pants pocket, as well as a purse, without being noticed.

There is so much more to the RAZR V3 BLK than its physical being, though. Certainly the primary purpose of any phone must be making phone calls, and in spite of its small stature, the RAZR V3 BLK managed a full 7 hours of talk time in our tests - a very respectable showing. A related bonus is the fact that you can charge the RAZR V3 BLK directly from your computer's USB port with the same type of mini-USB cable that you probably already have for your digital camera. That's one less power adapter to pack in the suitcase. Support for all 4 GSM frequency bands means that the RAZR will work in San Francisco and New York just as well as it will in Paris and London. The handset's internal antenna also proved to be quite capable, offering up very good reception in weak signal areas.

Of course some compromises had to be made to get all of this functionality into such a small package. The keypad, for example, is a very thin metal unit that offers less tactile feedback than most, though it makes up for that somewhat by looking fantastic in the dark, thanks to its cool blue back light. While quite usable, it might take a bit of getting used to. No compromises were made with the main display, though: a nice 2.2" 65k color TFT unit, with 176 x 220 pixel resolution. The external display is also color, though only a 4k CSTN type.

The Motorola RAZR V3 BLK is thin and definitely in.

The built-in VGA camera proved itself to be one of the better ones on the market, offering good contrast, color, and focus in most situations. The RAZR's polyphonic sound system also works quite well, and even allows you to use MP3 files as ringtones. So if you have a few dollars to spare in your quest for looking like a movie star, Motorola has got just the thing you need. Luckily, the RAZR V3 BLK has the brains to back up the beauty.

Rip Off.......2007-12-29

This phone does nothing but evoke anger in me. I bought it because of the features is claims to have yet none of them work. For one the manual, boasts you can use a memory card in it, which is false because this phone features no memory card slot. It says it has MP3 playback and all that but good luck getting any of it on your phone. The phone won't even receive E-mails like it's supposed to. I have a bottom of the line phone from Motorola that's two years old and it has this feature. I have no problem with the phone other then that, it looks great and I don't mind the Keypad. Other then it coming with a damaged LCD screen and the issues I listed above I would have loved to keep it.

If you plan to use it for a phone and nothing else it's great but otherwise I'd pass.

The razor V3 is Junk!!!!!!!!!!!.......2007-12-26

This phone is junk!!!! let it fall to the ground over 12" and it will fall apart, let humidity get to it and it's done. If your an on the go person and want something dependable you want to look elsewhere. I woke up this morning and my phone was dead, number two in 90 days. V3 is junk!!!!

Value for the Money.......2007-12-24

I have researched these phones and everyone wants to give you a plan
This RAZR UNLOCKED is the ticket for me..... the perfect price without
the structured locked in contract plans.

Don't Waste Your Money, Buy A Samsung.......2007-12-24

I will have to say that this phone is the most annoying piece of garbage ever. I think it was functional for about 30 min out of the box new. I picked it up from T-Mobile (Also go with Verizon, TMobile eats it!) Limited Text Messages, no ringtones that are worth while, alerts are constant and repetitive for a drained battery ( Here's a tip motorola - save battery power, STOP THE DAMN ALERTS!) Next, how about a functional T9 dictionary, because the suggestions and predictions that this one makes are like wierd spelled w3ird and of instead of the...home instead of good...and people is puprse....I know that it's made for gooks but still keep your slope grammer elsewhere cuz we don't want it in the USA...bottom line...don't waste your money on any motorola cell phone products because they are a parasitic device hellbent on destroying every last hope of a functional and user friendly Cell Phone.

Deceptive.......2007-12-24

I bought this product with high hopes at a high price. It did NOT live up to my expectations at all. The phone is NOT a good value for the money. It shuts off randomly for no apparent reason, often makes a buzzing/static noise and drops calls, then restarts the phone. Sometimes the screen turns black and just wont do anything. First phone I have had to replace at some point during my contract. Pictures are not very good quality, although I could really care less about that. Bottom line is do not buy this phone without SERIOUSLY SHOPPING AROUND FIRST!!!

It's all about cost vs performance.......2007-03-28

I am a Palm Treo 600 user, and my Treo broke down so I bought this. I have only had this phone for two days, so I will follow up in a month. The phone is remarkably small and light. The build quality is only fair at best. The hinge feels flimsy, and the tabs that hold the battery cover on are VERY weak. I get the feeling that a fall from any height would break something off, but I don't know yet, My Treo survived once a month falls for years with no problems other than a scuff. The screen is BEAUTIFUL and clear, much better than my Treo's, and the external screen is useful, but it shuts off, showing no information, after five seconds or so. Its a Windows phone and has no touch screen, but it has a lot of functions and the pictures are good. for half the Treo's price, and no contract, it's a buy.

One month later: What matters most to me is 1: the phone function itself - this phone is excellent as a phone - nice and loud with a decent speaker-phone and loud ringers. 2: a device to read my books on. - After a LOT of searching, I found a freeware reader, Orneta Reader, that I can use to read text files on the phone with. Overall, I'm very happy - excellant phone, decent web-browser, I can READ on it, and it's SMALL and LIGHT and UNLOCKED. No wonder the telephone providers killed it.
