Probably is the best in class handset (price standard)currently. HSDPA with cool mechanical outlook.
Camera: standard 2 mp
Music: internal loud speaker, wireless Bluetooth A2DP tech, dedicated touch key pad.
Display: smaller than standard (only 2 inch), but good resolution.
Battery: slightly above standard (940mAH)
UI: Enhanced in terms of speed compare to old razr

Overall: Cool HSDPA features is a plus!!

I'm asking the lucky owners about the built quality of k3.
Is it good??
Any problems with the opening mechanism?
Is it at the same class as k1(I mean the quality)

This phone is not yet available in my country, so I have no idea about the built quality .

Thx in advance

I personally am a Motorola fan but would like to see upgrades on camera(at least 3MP), longer and higher resolution video shoot, more user memory, add some Microsoft or Lynux operations for document views and media players for all of the SLVR, RAZR & KRAZR phones cause they're nice.

Concerning camera improvement...

It's applicable to all phones as long as you can mod the phone. All Motorola or your provider does is set the amount of memory used to take pictures or record videos.

If you study them... say for instance a phone you feel takes better videos... just record the same thing as your Motorola for the same time span i.e 10secs... what u'd notice is the better quality video is of a much high Kilobyte/megabyte. This is usually done so that you can record more for MMS purposes.

For instance on my Maxx V6... previously my MMS recorded up to 16secs @ 300KB max limit for MMS... now it records only 7-8secs to reach the 300kb limit. Reason being cos it uses more memory to process the pictures thus.. better quality.

Thats the only difference so when people shout Nokia's record better and blah, blah.. thats the only reason. I know this cos when ever one of my mates sent me an MMS it was only ever 8 secs while mine were double that..but inferior quality.

I've modded mine anyways so the quailty is just as good now if not better.

Note that when u do this you will obvilosuly be able to record less vids or pics cos more memory is used. Chances are the K3 has had the mod done so it uses more memory for processing them... although i doubt this very much..most likely gonna be the same as the factory setting Maxx v6.

To do this is very easy... just check some sites such as www.motox.us and look for the "P2K05 Map"... all the seem edits to enable things such as:
AGPS;
Hot Messages(folder to store or create priority messages);
Shortcuts;
Ring timer(allows u to set the seconds before ur phone ring starts when a call come in);
Java priority(if say ur using a java app...it allows u to set whther an incoming call should have priority and connect or if the App should have priority so the call does not cut you off);
Java de-bug;
Allow Alert(function that comes up in Video Setup.. never used it yet tho);
Video Interactive Gateway;
Live Video Share Service;
Battery Save;
TTY Set up;
Autopin Dial;
Start TCK(java feature)

... and probably some others i cannot remember, all which i've enabled on my phone.

Kinda baffles me why all the technology Motorola puts on the phone are taken out by the Operators... just makes no sense.

I've even modded my phone so when u charge it... instead of the charge light(green one by usb connetor) on the side light up... instead the blue moto pulsates on and off till fully charged.

Very cool phone that Razr Maxx V6

K3 and V6 have very similar software... same Synergy/P2k05 based phone. K3 is just a 3G version of the K1... but lower in the hierarchy than the Razr Maxx. At most it's just as good as the Razr Maxx but still has less memory etc...

It has an updated interface.
If you use Jbenchmark on this one, the results are twice as big than a K1
Really, the menu is different from K1 and v6maxx
plus the camera is somehow improved
