Motorola RAZR V3i > Reviews (67)

'Timeless classic' and 'designer looks' are a few terms that describe this phone perfectly. It's not only one of the best looking phones out there, but it is extremely simple to use.

The phone is retailed at around £100 off-contract and can be found on-contract for reasonable deals with all the main networks.

What first attracted me to this particular model was the fact that it is a stylish flip phone. The metallic casing immediately caught my eye and it made me think that the phone would be robust. I also thought that because it was a flip phone, the keys would be locked when the phone is shut and so I wouldn't keep calling the fist person in my phone book.

I have found that the phone isn't as robust as I originally thought and the outer casing became scratched after about one month just by carrying it in my handbag. This was rather disapointing as the reason I bought the phone was because of its looks.

I think that this phone would be perfect for someone new to the motorola range as it has many helpful features including:

1) Predictive text which adds and remembers your most frequently used words which makes texting a lot easier and quicker than usual.

2) It has a large internal screen which allows you to see whole text messages at a time and makes it easier to opperate the main menu.

3) It has large metallic keys which are clear enough to see and opperate. (especially if you are like me and keep pressing the wrong key because your nails get in the way).

Unlike what many of the other reviews on here state, I personally have found that the battery life is excellent and takes very little time to charge up fully (less than half an hour).

As an actual phone, I find that the quality of calls is excellent, even on speaker phone mode. The reception is fairly consistent, although I have heard that the signal on some networks is quite poor.

This phone's ultra-thin design means that it is possible to carry it in your pocket or handbag (if you don't mind a little cosmetic damage!) making it much easier to use your phone on the go.

Another feature this phone has is its 1.3 megapixel camera with 8x digital zoom. This makes it easier to take pictures anywhere and is especially helpful if you ever forget your digatal camera as the quality of the pictures is pretty good.

This phone comes with the option of expandable memory of up to 2GB, which is another bonus as this eqates to about 1000 songs!

With the phone you get a USB cable, Motorola CD and headphones.

I would recommend this phone to people of all ages as it is so easy to use and always makes a statement.
