Motorola RAZR V3 - user opinions and reviews

Thanks KiC74 :-)
(the 'again' was bottom part of text chopped due to illegal character)
I've had Simens, Ericssons, Nokias, Motorolas & Samsungs, but apearantly the wrong models then.
With all phones I know you can select a specific network manually, but the problem is the phone behaviour when this network gets to weak. I don't want to be asked to select a network over and over again. And IF another network IS chosen, I would like the phone to swap back to my home-network as soon as it is available again, NOT first when the foreign network gets to weak.

looks great ,,,, but im a bit dissapointed that motorola did not do much about the software that the v3 comes with ,,,,, it is the same as the v620 ,,, makes me wonder are we paying top dollar for the looks only ,,, id like to see some more features added ,,

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

Dear Again,
For network locking (very practical on borders) at my kwnoledge U should by a SiEMENS!! the soft inside permit you to lock the Network or also Sony-Erickson or Nokia but you should verify depend maybe on the models ;)

- 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.
