Motorola RAZR

WHOOPS - MY CURMUDGEONLY QUOTIENT JUST TOOK A HIT What a bloody hypocrite I am. For years I've been begrudgingly using a pay-as-you-go cell-phone, and an obsolete one at that, boasting that I don't put any more money it than say, £10 every six months; probably a lie of artistic licence proportions anyway. Then a sequence of events occurred, when we found how 'jolly useful' being able to e-mail from our laptop would have been, whilst cloistered away in a rented cottage in Wales. There are a few ways you could do this without access to a phone socket, but they all involve cellular technology ... more

After making the switch from an old V60 TDMA, I got the V3 Razr GSM for my birthday, November last year. This phone has only 5MB internal memory and no way of adding more memory. The flip-open design is a handy design for any phone, but it still leaves the external display and the battery open to damage. FYI: Motorola claims an all-metal casing (Aluminum, if I remember correctly) but the battery casing is plastic, so be careful. Menu is not exactly the easiest thing to figure out, but if you have grown accustomed to Motorola, then you won't have much of a problem. The screen is HUGE and crisp ... more

The numbers on the keypad are a great size which also makes texting a lot easier. No more fumbling around with miniture size keypads. I find ... more

I've never been cool enough to be at the forfront of mobile phone technology, usually opting for an easy to use model rather than something that looks like it belongs in a James Bond film. However because I am such a good customer to o2 they recently offered me a free upgrade and the black razr was one of my options. Have usually gone for smaller phones I was a little worried this would feel chunky and awkward. however the beauty of this phone is that although it appears big, it is actually very slim so it fits nicely into a pocket. The size also means it has a large, easy to see screen and ... more

The reason I bought this phone was simply because it looks better than anything else in the store. The black colour gives it a sense of style, and the flip is a good feature on any phone. The good bits The phone looks a lot better than any other, especially in black. It fits you ear perfectly when calling someone, and the speakers are good - so you don't have to press it to your ear. The button layount and menu system are both good, the use of the central button on the pad means you can access all areas quickly. It takes very good photos, the picture quality is very good. It can also play ... more
