 Neat phone- too bad verizon destroyed it August 18, 2006

I got this phone three weeks ago. It has alot of very cool features- none of which can be used, however because verizon has them locked out. If you are cool with paying for every piece of music you want to easily move onto the phone, go for it. If you want to use motorola's phone tools software to keep your contacts & calendar you're SOL. Same with Bluetooth file transfer- SOL. Basically everything that would make you want this phone is blocked out. If you'll notice- in the amazon review & description, almost every feature is discussed in conjunction with a handy dandy pricey verizon tool, like v-cast. I dont need news downloaded to my phone, but I'd love to have my outlook calendar sync to it, shame that wont work... The ONE way they have it set up so you can move music without the "convenience" of buying it thru V-Cast is by using windows media- which you need a patch for because there is a known "bug" with the phone. I called tech support, and they walked me thru it, but couldnt explain why they were selling a phone with such a known bug.
I was never really bothered by the verizon branding & product pushing, until I got this phone, and realized EVERY reason I got it, were for features I wasnt "allowed" to use. I've been with VZ for 10 years, and after the rage I've felt with this phone, I'd seriously consider switching in the future.
Luckily its easy enough to crack the phone to retore SOME functionality if you're feeling up to it. If you buy the phone, spring for the insurance so if you hack it unsuccessfully, you can run it over & get a replacement...;)
**EDIT** At this point I've spent 60+ hours trying to make this stupid thing work. I cant get the phone to see the removeable memory card, I cannot take pictures, because the phone says its full, yet it will not permit me to move the pics onto the card. Go figure. There are probably 30 pictures on the phone from my friends at verizon- stupid graphics which I will never use- but cannot be deleted, they just sit there hogging up the extremely limited hard drive space. This is by far the worst phone I've purchased, and I've had at least 10 of them...
The fact that its cute & pink doesnt come close to making up for the locked out & reduced capabilities of this thing.
Why does motorola allow verizon to destroy their product??
 I love this phone...so far August 13, 2006

I read a lot of reviews about the RAZR phones (from Verizon) and was considering not getting one. It didn't matter that much since the new V3 didn't come in pink, but alas now it does and I have to say, I love this phone! I've had many cell phones in my day, and truly this one isn't that groundbreaking, but I do like how slim it is, the large screen, the navigation capabilities. It works great with (my *pink*) Bluetooth. The free ring tones are excellent - which is something I read a lot of bad reviews on. I'm not used to Verizon, so it is taking a while to get used to their menu, but once I have that all worked out, it will be fine.
Also, I don't find the battery to run as low as other reviewers say. I don't listen to music or do the V cast which of course eats alot of battery time, so maybe that is the difference. I just plug it in to my *pink* car charger every couple of days while I'm driving and have never been below 3 bars.
If you are thinking about getting it, get it. I am not sorry at all - I'm actually still exited about it several weeks later.
Substandard Phone August 12, 2006
14 out of 18 found this review helpful
Since purchasing cell phones I have owned probably 10 or so.
This RAZR is the only Motorala product I have purchased.
What a mistake. Every morning I get the familiar beeping
to let me know it has a low battery...yes, every morning.
After having it for about 45 days it became difficult to
hear people on the other end, even with the volume on high.
The real kicker is this, those who also own a RAZR complain to
me about the same issues...low battery life, poor sound quality.
When we've complained we get the same response, buy a
more expensive battery. Although the RAZR looks really
sleek and modern for a cell phone, my experience with it
has been a disappointment. It is a substandard piece of
equipment in comparison to other cell phones I have owned.
Good luck in your search.
