Product Features
Editorial Reviews Product Description The Moto Razr V3 is expertly crafted to deliver exceptional performance. Inside the ultra-thin design are advanced features like MPEG4 video playback, Bluetooth® wireless technology, a digital camera and more. And with the precision-cut keypad, minimalist styling and metal finish, the V3 looks just as beautiful as it performs. The real difference is in the details. See who’s calling, in color, without opening your phone — the large internal display is complemented by an impressive external display. The precision-cut metal keypad reacts to the lightest of touches. And the features you can't always see are equally impressive, like quad-band GSM — for global calls where GSM network coverage and roaming agreements are present. 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 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. --Reviewed by Michael Oryl, editor in chief of www.MobileBurn.com Pros:

Customer Reviews Daniel Berenyi Said: Great Customer Service ( Nov. 14th 2009 )While the phone arrived locked OEMforcheap has helped me quickly with codes and tech support. At the end I even received some refund for the troubles I had. Great customer service! Thank you OEMforcheap and thank you Amazon!Darryl E. Colon Said: Hooked on Stability ( Oct. 5th 2009 )This phone replaces a RAZR V3 that i've had since they first came out some years ago. The phone still works. However, it shows the ravages of a hard life as my companion. I dropped it in the snow and, dropped it everywhere else, but every time i dropped her, she came up fully functional. I like the size, shape, feel and I am familiar with its features. My only disappointment with this new phone is that the selection of ring tones is sadly deficient. The tone that i have enjoyed for years 'Sky Blue' is not among those that come within settings, and overall the selections available are significantly fewer than what was offered on my original phone. But I guess I'll get used to it. If any one knows if/where i might download this ring tone the info would be appreciated. D. ColónTopGunner10 Said: Razor V3 ( Sep. 28th 2009 )I loved this phone but the warranty is poor. I wear my phone constantly on a belt holder and apparently the phone got some moisture on it. I am not talking about getting wet but moisture from day to day activities. Apparently this phone has a indicator in it that turns redish/pink when exposed to moisture and the warranty is void.I ended up having to buy a brand new phone because Motorola would not replace.Needless to say I did not but a RAZR. I treated the phone the same as I do all my phones and have never had one quit due to this before or after the RAZR. In my opinion this is poor design/poor support and I will not spend the money for this phone again even though I love the functionality and setup of this unit.Peanut Said: This phone is a joke. ( Sep. 20th 2009 )I ordered this phone for my son who will be going back to college soon. The first phone was received promptly. It did not work--wouldn't even turn on--battery would not charge. So I sent it back for a replacement. Second one arrived. Worked fine for 24 hours; then the outside screen went blank. I am sending this phone back and canceling my order. I will never buy Motorola again. Totally frustrating and unsatisfactory. I hope I will not get crappy service when I request a refund.Sultaria Said: Damn, this phone is durable. ( Jul. 19th 2009 )I bought this phone over two years ago. During this time, I had accidentally left it in jeans which ended up going through a full cycle in the washing machine (detergent and all), dropped it about a million times, and have thrown it at various people and objects during several different ocassions. All this had done virtually no damage to this phone, and today it continues to operate as well as it did the first time I bought it. Keep in mind, that while the RAZR is a great phone for basic functions such as talking and texting, its video/photo features are primitive at best. It is absolutely nothing fancy and probably old-fashioned by today's standards. But if you're like me and are really looking forward to using a phone for what it was originally intended to be used, then this is a great phone for you. And it will last you through a lot of damage. I know that from experience.« Back |

The Motorola RAZR V3 BLK is thin and definitely in.
