Buyer Beware.... October 11, 2007
9 out of 16 found this review helpful
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.

This is a nice phone. I upgraded from an old Nokia and like this one more. I was trying to locate the sensor mentioned in the other review but can't find it, even with the help of manual. The only red dot is the camera :)
Reception is good for now (a month of use) and I think the battery life is good as well. Ring tones and arrangement of features are easily changed to your own liking. Camera if just fine with 8x zoom but the pictures look good only with using no zoom at all. But what else would one expect from an 1.3 mp mobile camera? Love the styling though, flat and wide, and I personally love this color.
 Neat phone, typical poor Motorola quality and service September 14, 2007

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.
There are much more reliable options out there.
What happened Motorola? September 12, 2007

Picked up this phone when it was time to upgrade from my first Razr. What a disappointment! It's heavier and chunkier than my nice, slim, lightweight one. It has a recurring problem with an echo that my carrier assures me is 'my phone not their equipment' and the battery life is poor, even though I almost exclusively use it just as a phone and don't use the camera/video/MP3 features at all. I should have kept using my old phone! I was very disappointed in the product and it may result in not purchasing a Motorola again. I wouldn't recommend it if you're accustomed to the old Razr and are expecting similar quality. On the the plus size it is durable, easier to find(due to it's increased size) and if I were planning on using the MP3 capabilities would be fine. The wallpaper etc that come with it were disappointing as were the ring tones, but this is easily changed. I wouldn't buy another one, but it may meet your requirements if they're different than mine.
 Very nice phone September 4, 2007

I bought this phone after I had trouble with a different one and I really like it. Reception is real good, sound quality is good, it has some great features and its very attractive. The camera is good, and it does have a zoom, (I dont know why someone here said it doesn't), but dont count on decent pictures in low lighting. I love the music player on it and bought the 1G memory card for it so I can use it as a mp3 player as well. Which is nice for taking walks and stuff so that you dont need a seperate mp3 player too. Plus with the memory card, its easy to tranfer stuff to and from the computer to the phone. I really recommend this phone.
