@the guy who posted below:

"(...)have the build-in technology which can cut background noiceto a minimum(there is no other brand that have this feature)"

You are soooo wrong, mate!!
My old Samsung D600 had it already - and the sound quality was so much better than on these models you've mentioned...

I've owned a k3 for a month, then sold it because its screen is too small to websurf.
But anyway, it was a nice phone, light and small enough to fit in your jeans pocket. And it never lost its signal, even while parking the car in my -1 level garage.

Let's get back to basic ... Motorola do produce excellent quality "phones" for making & receiving calls. The sound quality has always been very good(since day one when they produce phones, the sound quality is better than any other brand). Recent models(e.g. K1, K3, V8, V9) have the build-in technology which can cut background noiceto a minimum(there is no other brand that have this feature). Anyone noticed this great feature???

The build quality is very solid.

My only complain is with the handsfree speaker phone, which is of medium quality only ... recent Nokia phones come with very high quality speaker phones(very loud & clear even from one feet distance).

I've had this phone for about 5 months and love it (now paired with an S9 headset I bought about a month ago).

In reply to a previous poster I've never had a problem with any MP3 I've dropped onto it, it also plays Mp4 video without many issues either (back to that in a moment) I've also never had any issues with text input (other than it being an imported Chinese phone and I really wish I could disable the 'chinese text' option)

Caveats... the 3G won't work with any US carrier I know of (AT&T runs their 3G on the 900mhz band which the K3 doesn't support for 3G, and T-Mobile (if they ever get around to it) is going to be a few mhz off from the 2100mhz that the K3 supports)

As for MP4 video. For whatever reason, even though it has a higher res screen than the K1, Mp4's have to be encoded at half the res that the K1 supported for the K3 to be able to play them (it gives an error having to do with unrecognized video format or somesuch), go figure? Although it will support a much higher bit rate and frame rate in video than the K1 and doesn't have the "not responsive/stuttering" issue the K1 had if a video clip was over 30 minutes long at to high of a bit rate.

Other than that I pretty much love the phone.

Now if anyone knows how to make its 3G work with a US carrier I'd be ecstatic.

I purchased one of these three months ago previously having 6 other Motorola models all of which I was satisfied with.

The Text/SMS system on the phone has a fault which Motorola are aware of but have not fixed. If you enter an incorrect character and delete it the phone reverts to upper case ABC1 or ABC2. This I find infuriating.

Also it will not play MP3's with a bit rate higher than 128kbps

@Hash...

Well my Razr Maxx v6 did not have those ringtones which was very annoying. My maes Krazr K1 on T-Mobile had them tho.

However, the OS on the K3 is more similar to that on the Razr Maxx V6 and not the Krazr K1 as u'd expect so chances are the ringtones will not be on it.

It's best u go into a shop and look at the phone yourself to confirm cos i really dont know.

Nice design, nice to held in hand, but the function is way too un-user frenly. Speaker is soft and not too loud.

This looks like a nice phone but its price is very expensive considering its features.
Nokia N73 has more features and approx. the same price does anyone agree with me?
