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!!!

Design
Reflecting the design language of the super-slim RAZR line of handsets, the KRZR K1 exudes pure luxury with clean lines, precision detailing, and premium materials shrouded within a distinctive metallic gloss front finish.

Lastly, a mini USB port is provided for data synchronization.

Customer Reviews:
New customers only.......2007-12-14
This phone is only worth buying if you are getting a deal on it for signing up. I upgraded to this from my razr a while ago and am not impressed... These are the drawbacks I've encountered:
1- You spend more time cleaning the damn mirror finish than you do talking on it
2- No headphones come with it... I paid two hundred dollars. No headphones.
3- No micro SD card either, this really upset me since this costs less than the headphones and still it isn't included.
4- Text messaging is SOOOOOOOOOO slow.... Forget using predictive text, as it lags two to three incoherent words behind. This may be solved in a software update, but none have come out since I got it.
5- The camera is 2 GP but when I take a picture I watch it change from focused to blurry just before it prompts to save! WTF?!! You have to sharpen EVERYTHING!
6- Web browsing, I think not. The mobile browser is far too slow and too compact to view anything. Half the time email will not open.
The list goes on. In the end it's an average phone that might play music. Very flashy, little substance.
Disappointed by Motorola...again.......2007-12-10
I bought a brand new Motorola C600 back in the day. After about a year, it became very difficult to hear callers as they spoke and as time progressed, it just got worse. After having the phone for two years, I went against my better judgment and bought another Motorola phone--the KRZR.
I loved the compactness, the V-Cast features (which turned out not to be worth it--talk about slow web surfing!!), and the deep red color of the model I chose. However, now, again after one year, the phone is LOSING ITS ABILITY TO AUDIBLY RING. It sometimes rings aloud but most often I have to keep it in my HAND so I can feel the vibration if someone calls. Why don't I keep it in my pocket? Because the vibration is SO WEAK, you miss it. Even when it was fully functional, the phone vibrates so weakly, you can't feel it in your pocket. I'd strongly recommend skipping this phone.

Motorola KRZR.......2007-11-27
I purchased my Motorola KRZR about a month ago to replace my Motorola RAZR. My observations on the KRZR are:
1) Very attractive shiny blue finish. Downside is that it is very easy to get fingerprints on it.
2) The KRZR is just as thin as the RAZR but is not as wide, thus making this an even smaller phone. It's up to you to decide if this is too small for you, but I like it!
3) The reception is much better than other phones, i.e., LG, Sony-Ericsson, etc., that I have had in the past.
4) Due to the 2 megapixel camera, the picture quality is excellent. Even though camera phones have small picture screens, I can see excellent detail in my pictures.
5) The sound quality is very good. I can listen to music through the regular speaker on the phone and it still sounds good.
6) The KRZR takes an optional MicroSD memory card. I have a 2GB memory card in my phone with over 200 songs on it and the memory card is less than half full.
7) With the bluetooth technology, you can listen to your stored music with wireless headphones.
8) The battery life is outstanding. From a full charge, the battery will last me a whole week before it dies. That being said, I'm not a heavy cell phone user...only about 350 minutes a month. Still, a whole week on standby, never turning off the phone, is great!
Bottom line: Excellent phone overall!
The best ever had.......2007-11-25
I bought the phone about 3 months ago and just love it. It has so many more options then any of my other cell phones I have had in the past. The camera portion of it has so many different options. Like if you want black and white, antique, bluish or even negative, you can have it. Also you can adjust the lighting conditions. The only down fall about this phone is that it takes a while to get used to and also how to get around. I am still finding new items with this phone, that I didn't even know were on it.
I wouldn't recommend this phone for a guy though, due to its sleek girlie look.
Customer Reviews:
One of the worst phones ever.......2008-01-01
The phone's bluetooth function doesn't work well, and its battery drains out quickly (within a few hours) time to time. I had the original RAZR phone for a few years before upgrading to this one, but I definitely prefer the original RAZR over this new phone. I am getting a new phone now.
Nice try ... phone screen goes dead.......2007-12-31
I bought the Razr phone about a year ago, and I liked it for the whole time. It was the right size, weight, form.
My problems were:
* Do not like that you cannot shut off all the beeps. If I get a call and do not answer it, it will beep every few minutes to remind me. This is hell in the middle of the night, you either have to put the phone far away, or answer it, or shut it off. What kind of an idiot designs something like this? I want to throw it across the room or stomp it when it does this.
* The other problem is that the screen now has decided to go dead. I open the phone to make a call and aftera second of two it turns black. Then it may or may not intermittently light up again, but this is very irritating. I got the phone really cheap, but now if I replace it it will cost me a lot.
Stay away from this POS even though it seems nice, and looks nice, it will cost you in irritation and you will have to buy a another one at full price at some point.
Good Phone.......2007-12-31
About 6 months of use, battery life is good and good reception. You'll get the most out of it with an unlimited data plan / internet. Some features and aps are flakey but overall the phone is great. Fits perfect in your pocket, simple, and fast! Mines locked to the carrier and all features and functions WORK. (Unlocked V3 wouldnt send picture messages.)Check it out at a local store first before you buy it.
Good cellphone!!!.......2007-12-20
I've had the Razor V3xx for about two weeks now. Now I'm a techie, but just because I'm a techie, not all of my toys have to be the "new hardware/software." I didn't buy into the Razor fad when it first came out. I've always been a Nokia fan. Plus I've had the Sony Ericsson w300i. I didn't care too much for Motorola. My mom has a Motorola, but it's a different style. So far her's works great. She's not technically inclined, but she gets by.
Now I don't need my cellphone to be a music player because I have the discontinued 30GB iPod (which I've dropped like three times on concrete and still plays!!!) I don't need to surf the web on it because I value screen size and besides I don't want to pay the extra money to surf the web when I have a laptop. I mainly use it just as a cellphone, but I like style.
I have some friends and coworkers who have the Razor (some have the V3xx and others have prior versions). I asked them about how's the reception, can they hear clearly when people are talking, can people they're talking to hear them clearly, and battery life. I've been on edge because of the prior slim designs, but this is a bit heavier. It feels durable and feels good. I've debated between this one and two Nokia versions (with AT&T, the 6555 and the upgraded version of the 6102).
So far I've been happy with the reception, volume, and battery life. I use it daily and near traffic. In all places, inside a store, next to the road with heavy traffic, inside a noisy bus and have been happy with the way it works. I heard them clearly and they heard me. I haven't had to say, "What was that?" yet.
If you value, programs/software on a cellphone, this is probably not what you're looking for (go for Nokia, as far as I know). If you want a cellphone and have it to be stylish, then yes this cellphone is for you. It's better than previous version of the Razor.
BTW, I wouldn't choose the iPhone. Don't go with the flow!!
Buyer Beware...........2007-10-11
So i got this phone for my sister as a replacement for her previous phone which was an old V3. I do love the styling of this phone and it has a very sturdy feel when compared to other phones in its price range. The flip opens very fluidly and I love the casing. However, thats where everything ends. I mean motorola has this beautiful screen and uses the UGLIEST interface I've ever seen.
Honestly, if you were one of those people who bought into the Razr fad and seem to continue to buy more just out of habit, i really recommend going to your local AT&T first.
In the cell phone market and I'm talking internationally. There are two leaders in terms of quality and design and those are Nokia and Sony Ericsson (SE). You might look at their phones and think that they have a cheaper feel to them or just seem to simple. But its not the outsides that set them apart. Its the insides. What I've always hated about motorola is that it seems like while they update the hardware from time to time, they still use the SAME useless unintuitive software they came out with like 5 years ago. I have been a loyal consumer of SE and if you take a phone from 5 years ago and compare it to one out now, you will notice more fluidity in the menus, faster shortcuts, a more intuitive system. The same goes with nokia, which used to have a simple interface but now has buffed up there menu system to compete aesthetically. I really recommend trying both phones and seeing how quickly there menus work compared to Motorola. I've lived outside of the country for 3 years and SE and Nokia always lead the market. Samsung solely relies on making their phones thinner then everyone elses and motorola is just banking on this "High fashion" razr/krzr/slvr styling. Yet I see them as the dominant phones in the US market! CHECK OUT SE and NOKIA before settling on simple style. Once you make the switch to either, you wont want to go back.
Amazon.com Product Description
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 1.30-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.
Cingular, Motorola, and HSDPA high-speed data: the perfect combination.
|
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 1.30-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 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 bridges 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).

Not quite what I hoped for.......2007-10-04
I have changed to GSM and selected the V3xx phone as the Motoroal V60 was the best phone I have ever owned. The Razr V3xx has some short commings that anyone considering it should know about. First of all you have to have the phone really centered on your ear to hear it at its best 1/4 inch makes a difference. The front screen is too small to read incoming call numbers, so it is useless for caller ID. Both inside and external screens are hard to read in bright sunlight. The srceens are great in reduced light or indoors. The start call(green) and end call(red) buttons are right next to buttons that start the AT&T browser or CV both of which will cost you if you press one by mistake and cancel as quickly as posible, you learn to look at the buttons you are pressing, not a good idea if you are driving. I have not been able to find a good blue tooth device to use while driving. I have purchased two units with built in speakers and three ear piece devices. The best is the Motorola H700 (I bought it from Amazon to avoid fake look alikes and the $99.00 asked by AT&T). The H700 is scratchy but usable in a car. The quality and volume of the blue tooth on any of the devices I have tried is about equal to the built in speaker. The last issue with the phone is battery life, if I am lucky I get two days charge on a battery. I probably place or receive four to five short calls a day. Sometimes I run out of battery on the second day, so now I just plug the phone in each night. My old phones Nokias, Motorolas, and Panasonics (all digital not GSM) lasted between one or two weeks on a charge. I guess I'll have to adjust to the new technology!
DO NOT BUY THIS PHONE FROM AMAZON (or any other phone).......2007-09-19
My boyfriend bought this phone for me from Amazon and it was the worst idea ever! First, when I got the phone it couldn't be activated due to technical problems (due to Amazon, not AT&T). I called Amazon for assistance, and they forwarded me to their cell phone department who said 1) they didn't know what the problem was, 2) there was no one else that I could speak to, and 3) they would email (NOT call) me back. Amazon gave me the run-around for over two weeks. Finally, i took the phone into an AT&T store. They informed me that is was most definitely a REFURBISHED phone. They also told me the reason there were so many problems activating the number is because the phone number BELONGED TO SOMEONE ELSE! I called Amazon to discuss the fact they had sent me a refurbished phone when I had bought a NEW phone, and they did not have an answer. The very nice customer service representative said that he would have someone email me back (because the cell phone specialty department did NOT make any calls). It's been two weeks and I still do not have an explanation as to why I was sent a refurbished phone or why I was assigned a number which was already assigned to someone else.
DO NOT buy phones from Amazon. Although you pay less for the phone, it's not worth it!!! Just go it the store and deal directly with the cell phone company.
Poor quality, pooer service.......2007-09-14
The phone is neat and comes with a lot of great features, but buyer beware-the warranty is basically non-existant. We had a problem with the keyboard and called for warranty service and they said that the warranty is invalid if there is any water damage. We explained that there was no water damage, it just stopped working. They asked us to check a "dot" sensor on the phone. If the dot is red, the warranty is invalid. We asked how the dot could be red when the phone (2 months old) never got wet, and their rep told us that rain, sweat or being exposed to humidity or condensation! An unscientific survy of razr uses at a soccer game found 4 of 5 with the dot turned red-and hense no warranty.
So bottom line is, it is a good phone, as long as you don't sweat or live in a location where it rains or gets humid.

Poor quality control.......2007-12-05
I like the looks of the case and it actually fits well. The problem is the stitching is coming undone even before I put it on my phone. The cost of sending it back isn't worth it, the hazards of buying online I guess.
Very poor quality control, but that's what we seem to get from goods made on the "cheap" from China.
Not as good as the Motorola case.......2007-12-04
In the past, I have purchased the Body Glove Cases for other flip phones. However, this one for the Razr is not good. It is a struggle to even get it on the phone and the openings for the charger, earpiece etc do not line up properly. My husband did complain about the clip and indicated that it released a few times when he sat down. Although I have been a fan of their cell phone cases in the past, I am disappointed in this one. We have replaced it with the Motorola brand leather case.
functional.......2007-10-10
Product seems to be OK. As for probelms others have had, well chalk it up to internet buying. The clip is stiff and not easily accessible, but is does work. After having the piece for a while now, the lining is coming off on the "straps" across the top. I can deal with it since it was not very expensive, but it makes me think this is actually a knock-off or clone to a body glove. Probably 90% of these products are such since they are cheaper than the shipping. Amazon should be a little more choosy about the vendors they use.
THIS CASE RESPONSIBLE FOR MY PHONE GETTING LOST!.......2007-10-10
BEFORE U BUY THIS DAM THING THINK ABOUT IT TWICE. THIS CASE IS RESPONSIBLE FOR ME LOOSING MY PHONE ON THE BUS DUE TO A LOOSE BELT CLIP BUTTON. MOMENTS BEFORE I GOT OFF THE BUS I CLIPPED MY PHONE ONTO MY BELT AND WHEN I GOT OFF TO USE IT IT WAS GONE. I HAD THE SAME PROBLEM BEFORE BUT VERY NICE PEOPLE HAD TOLD ME THAT I FORGOT MY PHONE IN THE PASSENGER SEAT I WAS SITTING ON. THE ONE TIME I DID NOT GET A WARNING WAS PROBALLY WHEN SOMEONE FELL IN LOVE WITH MY MOTOROLA RAZR V3T AND DECIDED TO KEEP IT. IF U REALLY WANT THIS CASE I RECOMMEND THAT U REMOVE THE CLIP ON FEATURE SINCE THIS COVER HAS THAT ABILITY, YOU JUST SLIDE THE BUTTON OFF THAT HOLDS THE BELT HOLSTER AND JUST KEEP THE PHONE IN YOURE POCKET JUST TO BE SAFE. LESSON LEARNED FOR ME AND FROM NOW ON I WILL KEEP MY PHONE IN MY POCKET. NO MORE BELT CLIP HOLSTERS SINCE THESE PHONES ARE SUPER NICE AND EXPENSIVE AND THERES A 95% CHANCE THAT YOU MAY NEVER RECOVER IT IF U EVER LOOSE IT!
Great Product.......2007-10-09
The case is very durable and it has a hole for you to slide the connection for the phone charger, wired headset, etc. I feel that it has done a fine job at protecting the razr phone from scratches and drops and I would definitely purchase this item again. It comes with a swivel clip that is sturdy and does a great job of clipping to a belt.
Amazon.com Product Description
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 1.30-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 AT&T service.
Design
The streamlined looks and cutting edge technology of the RAZR V3xx is now available in an eye-catching shade of pink. |
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 1.30-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 AT&T's MEdia Max plans that supports AT&T Video (additional AT&T 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 AT&T'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. AT&T'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 AT&T data plan 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 bridges 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 AT&T charges apply).
UMTS Wireless Broadband Coverage
