   Not new
   This was clearly refurbished. The pink plates didn’t even match and some of them were worn and dirty looking.

   I purchased the Pink Satin Razr v3 back in August `06. I upgraded from a Nokia 3595 to this lovely little piece of technology. This was a careful buy as I read every possible kind of feedback on the Motorola Razr from many different sites. At best, the reviews were mixed from other users/critics. But for me, this phone is working out great. I’m going to touch on a few points (negative and positive) about this phone. What Amazon doesn’t add in their product information is that this was something manufactured overseas for use in Europe and China by the looks of it. What tells me this? The charger that was manufactured for non-american voltage as well as the advertisement slips and instruction booklets in the product’s box that are in both english and chinese characters. I immediately went into panic mode when I saw the charger’s plug but, noticed the little white US adapter which is nothing more then a piece you hook onto the prongs that have the correct voltage plug to fit into your outlet at home. And what I haven’t been able to note in any reviews for this phone is that if you’re buying this unlocked like I did, the only compatible providers are T-Mobile and Cingular since they use SIM cards with the GSM network. I’m sure there are others internationally but, these are the only american providers I know of. As for the SIM card in your current phone, just slide it out and slip it into your new phone. Just make sure to copy your phonebook to your SIM card before doing so. You may have to tweak the network settings to make sure they are compatible and functioning correctly. Your mobile phone provider should appear on the screen once you’ve finished. The cons with this phone: -When porting your phonebook over from another phone, the Razr breaks down each number into an individual entry. So even though you may have had 3 phone numbers for your husband or Mom in one efficient entry, this phone’s does not have that organizational feature. On the flip side of this, you can put the specific icon next to the entry in the phonebook like the little mobile phone, house, office, etc. -It’s easy to get the large screen and flat keypad greasy from the oils in your skin. I find that it’s enough just to wipe it off with the corner of your shirt gently should it get cruddy. -The flat keypad could be annoying for people with thick, large fingers. I personally have no trouble with this. -No MP3 player. Or any other fancy bells and whistles for that matter. Honestly, I don’t think this is bad since you can buy a nice MP3 player from Apple or one of the other manufacturers that have decent space for thousands of songs rather then what you are limited to with a cell phone. I’m not a big fan of “all in one” gadgets since it tends to degrade quality. Pros: -It’s quite aesthetically pleasing and sleek, no matter what color you purchase. -The camera. It’s not a fantastic camera, so if you’re a photographer by trade you will know it is awful by professional, digital standards. But if you’re like me, you just use it to take impromptu silly snapshots of friends, things, pets, etc. -Volume. Seriously, I do not know how people find issues with the audio. My hearing is rather questionable but, I can hear my callers unless their provider’s coverage is less then great. Any calls made from a normal phone are also sharp and clearly audible. And the Ringing Volume is a lot louder then my Nokia ever was so I’m satisfied. You have to bear in mind that a provider’s area of coverage (or lack there of) will effect your phone call and how well you can hear. It’s not always the mobile phone. I think people make the mistake of where they put the receiver of this phone since it is very small. And if you don’t have it in the right spot at your ear, you will hardly hear a word. -Price. The unlocked models have become reasonably priced. So if you have wanted one of these, now is the time to buy one. -Bluetooth Technology. End of story. On a side note, I just purchased the H500 bluetooth head set in magenta since it seems close enough to the shade for me.

   I purchased a Motorola Razr V3 cell phone through Amazon. com from Ace Photo and Digital. This was to replace the phone my wife received from Cingular Wireles that passed away after she took it swimming. Since a new phone costs $250 from Cingular, we opted to purchase an “unlocked” phone for $168 through Ace. The phone arrived promptly, but upon turning it on we found discovered there were phone numbers on it that were not ours. The phone, we suspected, was not new. Three hours after we started to use it, the screen went dead. So much for that! After two emails to Ace that went unanswered, I called their customer service line. Their service was great. No hassles from them. They emailed me a form to fill out and I sent the phone back ($7. 50 in postage). We received a replacement phone about two weeks later. This one worked, but the battery compartment cover would not stay on. We were able to use the one from our old Cingular phone. Thank God we had it! I don’t have a problem with Ace’s service, but I do question the quality of their product. If these are refurbished phones, they don’t reveal it. It’s now been a week since the new phone arrived, and all is well so far. I’ll just have my wife keep it away from the swimming pool and wait until my Cingular contract is up so I can get another NEW phone!

   Much Better Than I thought.
   I just got the phone today. I was skeptical the whole time after reading all of the reviews on here. I love the phone.

   Good phone, good service
   Razr has been a good phone for us – this one is for my wife, it’s her second RAZR, her first lasted 3.5 years, which is a long life for a celphone.

   Not the right color
   I like the phone and aside from the battery not working and having to purchase another one. The only thing that i found wrong was the color.

   Battery to the phone/Bad
   Well I liked the phone but it wont keep a charge so I to spend another [...] bucks to order a battery on line. I don’t know if the battery I ordered is any good.

    Just what I wanted.
    I had washed my previous phone it was in the washer for a day before I found it. I still had a year before I could get a new phone from AT&T.

    Thank you Amazon
    Thank you Amazon. You were back ordered when I purchased this, the phone shipped long before you told me it would. My wife loves it.

    Terrible choice
    This item stated it came with a head set, etc. They were not included. The phone was a nightmare from the start.
