Motorola RAZR V3 review from United States of America
"Not as great as everyone seems to think"
What things have gone wrong with the mobile phone?
The phone freezes.
The phone would accept a call, then in mid-conversation, the screen would turn all white and it would shut itself off and turn itself back on, and then show 0 bars when I am in a 5 bar area. VERY frustrating. One of my friends also has a RAZR and has the same problem.
Cold weather shortens battery life. And your fingers slip easily on the keypad, which is really annoying for texting.
The camera, even for a phone, sucks. Many times when I try to take a picture with the phone closed, I will click to take the picture, and the screen goes static (like a T.V.) and says "photo capture failed." And when it does take the picture, the quality isn't good at all.
If you text really fast like me, the phone takes a long time to respond to what you have typed.
If you have real songs for ringtones and you have your phone on volume level 6 of 7 or 7 of 7, it doesn't take long for the speaker to start sounding fuzzy.
General comments?
I have the now defunct Cellular One (AT&T) model. I purchased the RAZR in March of 2007. This was my first phone. The only reason I got it is because it was the "cool" phone to have.
The Bluetooth is good for transferring ringtones between phones, and it pairs quickly with my Jawbone headset.
I like the modern design and the cool blue backlight on the keypad.
There are MILLIONS of cases for this phone, and I would recommend getting one because the phone is so thin and easy to break.
I probably won't get another RAZR, but I would give other Motorola phones the benefit of the doubt.
