General Comments

this was my first Motorola phone and I was pretty excited to have the v3 pink Razr.
im not a clumsy person and had looked after all my phones, this one included, and I've never dropped it in water or had water splashed onto it or dropped it.

I've had the phone just over a year, 1 year 5 months now. it had been playing up the last 2 weeks and suddenly died on me. I thought it was the battery and brought a new battery.
Nope. Not that!

The screen didn't reboot and all I got was the keypad flashing on and off and now nothing at all. I've tried everything and now have read lots on the net about this common problem with the v3 and have resigned myself to the fact that it's burnt out.

It's a shame as I loved the phone. and I paid a lot of money for it.
Ah well. they're not built to last really. Though I still have an old 3210 (Nokia) and it still works. I'm using this as my emergency phone until I get a new one. Funnily enough the 3210 I dropped in a glass of water the day after I bought it. It still works. And it's 8 years old. Bit of an old timer and makes a buzzing sound and is held together by tape, its my last resort when I'm phoneless. Can't do that with the Razr! Just as well I kept the 3210! And yes I'm returning to Nokia, how I've gone full circle, it's so funny!

I think the problem with this phone is that it was SO good, that it was BAD. It had the new sleek design and hot look, it was light and slim and everyone wanted it. Black for boys and pink for girls.

I was beaming from ear to ear when I walked into the office with my pink flip phone.

Anyway, the bad thing is... it isn't robust enough and the keypad is FAB but it burnt out. It's not actually worth getting it repaired - almost as much or MORE as to get a new phone. I'd have stayed with Motorola had I got another year or so, out of that phone.

OK, I've had Nokia (have a new one winging its way to me) and I've had Sony, and the value SAGEM. the Sagem lasted longer!

I've had flip phones before and the v220 was basic, but that lasted longer. was a bit like a clamshell BRICK but lasted longer.

there is good and bad reviews about this phone and if you need a phone that you want to work and want for longer than 18 months don't go for this,.
If you're the impatient kind, don't go for this as it gets so SLOW when you have more than 20 messages in your inbox.

On the good side (when its not burnt out):
The camera isn't THAT bad.
I think if you want real good quality from a camera phone, BUY A DIGITAL CAMERA! Don't buy the phone for the camera! In general it was a fair-enough camera. had a zoom which was handy. But as it's died, it's no good now. Can't even sell it!
booo!

so I'll put it in my cupboard for now, always wondering how such a cool phone just crashed and burned so early on.

Ahhhh, never mind...

    I wasn't that happy with it to start with. but what happened was just bizzare, I went to sleep one day to wake up and find that it was burnt, I mean it wasn't working properly and you can see around the keypad that it was actually burnt. brown and looked like it was rusty then it wouldn't switch on by noon. that was really scary i mean i was asleep what if something could've happened, like the sheets could've been caught on fire!
