Motorola RAZR V3 - user opinions and reviews
- Win Win
Dear Mei Mei :
Glad to know that you finally found something you like. As I have heard, the SE K700i is an excellant all round phone. The price has settled after the past few months & I believe you are buying a bargain as this k700i cost less than half the price of the V3, but with a lot more usable functions.
Good for you! You made a wise choice! You save the price difference for some nice clothes!? OR take me out for dinner?(just kidding).
Anyway, it's nice to hear from you again.
regards,
Win Win

- One-touch key can not be assigned new sms *Fools!*
- Not possible to lock side-keys when closed :-
- No FM radio
- Outer screen design, Large window small screen
- Batterycover difficult to reattach, anoying when swaping batteries
- No IRDA
- Well MP3, I don't miss it but many will.
- Like (all?) other phones, manual network selction only allow to prefer networks, not to prohibit any. I live close to a border, and it cost a 'fortune' if foriegn network is used.
- Like (all?) other phones when manual network selction are used, and network is lost a dialog pops up in the middle of what I'm doing
Thats all for my first impressions
:-)

Motorola V3, first hand impression
I've had MANY phones before, this I've had for almost a week now, and is the FIRST in many many years that only have a few minor problems!
Well yes the £300+ is expensive, but not compared to what you get. And NO, I do not refer to a lot of fancy stuff, but a very very good PHONE.
Infrared would have been nice in principle, even though I never used it on my previous ones. The USB cable for data AND charging is very convinient. Almost any pc got a USB. V3 also got BlueTooth.
A camera with this size of lens is a joke, but I expected the pictures to be much worse than they actually were.
A VERY clever thing (that I until now in vain have tried to propose to several phone-companies) is the placement of the internal antenna. It is NOT placed by the ear, but by the microphone. This prolongs battery-life (and reduces brain-toasting) due to the reduced mean effect needed, since the head is blocking less of the signal. The cheek occupying a fraction of the full spaceangle, and not half a hemisphere as standard by the whole scull.
But let me give a brief summary of good, neutrals and bads. A lot of stuff missing below could be because it's things I never use. (Wap, java, games, IM, MMS...).
+ Metal housing
+ 'Thinness'
+ Internal antenna placement by microphone
+ SEVEN programmable one-touch keys!!
+ Ten programmable two-touch shortcuts (90 three-touch!!)
Menu + number
+ USB
+ BlueTooth
+ Inner screen. Good resolution, crisp display. (Not much sun here the passing week, so do not know how good/bad it is in worst conditions)
+ Outer screen does not go completely off, but keeps dim clock
+ Picture quality (considering lens-size)
+ Automatic profile switch when external power is supplied
+ Quad-band
+ Fairly easy to apply new firmware, no extra hardware needed.
+ Modem
+ When a sms can not be sent due to missing coverage, it is not lost.
o Phonewidth, The screen IS large, so not solely negative
O Overall design
O many functions take quite a few keypresses to get to, but shortcuts can be created
o Weight. 95g is 'heavy' today, but not extreme like many competitors

Wow what can i say about this phone?.....
i love eveything about it BUT..... it doesn't have a infrared port which is a reall downer! The style of the phone is straight out sexy and easy to use. The buttons are so futurestic and simple. don't need to push very hard. + i love how its so slim and lite.

Finally got my V3(things always slow in Oz).For me it's perfect fone(for me ofcoz,,coz i always asking my self"what i want&how much i want to pay")..!!read all the commences in these pages(from someone called Mei Mei&Win Win)I really think the V3 they were talking about wasn't AUTHENTIC(I had these problem before with my 2 NK 8910i bought in Hongkong&China years ago:the housing is fake,phone didn't work properly,the cable's broken after 3 months-paid new-etc.....My V3 does come with the Bluetooth headset+all accessories and most importanly the phones wasn't made in China,the finished of the housing is perfect(not sharp on 1 side....sharp enough to cut your finger..??I do not think Motorola's that Stup....to make that stup....mistake for the phone that cost more than HKD$6000.00 if someone bought it in Hongkong in September..??).For me,it's perfect fone,it meets all my need...apart from missing MP3 player/lack of memories/... and the price ain't bad(paid AUD$950.00=US$700.00=EU570,00=HKD$5700.00)....As someone said"nothing perfect",I agree with this..!!
