Motorola RAZR V3i

When the RAZR V3 burst onto the market a few years back, it was certainly seen as the next step in mobile phone technology. Nowadays, it’s still competing and it’s still popular for users. But is it really any good??? I brought my black V3i model as part of an O2 contract, so obviously the phone was inclusive…always an advantage in my view! Roughly 9.5cm by 5.3cm by 1.5cm, it’s a sleek, clam-style opening phone design that looks good. When opened ...
...for any phone, with a number pad that’s not too small, especially when compared to smaller, fiddly models that you need a pen nib to hit the buttons one at a time!! The menu gives you 9 separate options in a 3 x 3 grid all with unique icons – Camera, Contacts, Media Centre, WebAccess, Messages, Settings, Calls, Games and Extras. The arrow buttons on the keypad enable easy navigation up, down, left and right to whatever area you desire. The SIM ...

Review of Motorola RAZR V3i

After reading a couple of the reviews on this phone on Ciao, I felt that some people were being unnecessarily put off of this phone by being given the wrong information. Firstly, I must correct a few of the things off other reviews.... 1) Voice records can be made by pressing and holding the key on the side that you can see in the above picture, the phone immediately starts recording and then can be instantly played back, the only draw back is ...
...as I know) 2) Speaking many languages and having loads of friends abroad means I need a phone with a good predictive text, this phone definitely has this, it even brings the most often used words to the top of the list of possible matches, so you can easily find the word you want to type, I even have words in 4 different languages in my predictive text, so its REALLY handy for me. 3) I have 3 different alarms on my phone and have a different tone ...

Review of Motorola RAZR V3i

I bought the motorola V3Im earlier this year as soon as it came out for no other reason than that it was red. Turns out I picked up an amazing phone, I've recently had to claim on my insurance and have a new one which seems more "right", so I'll tell you about that one. I got this phone on contract for free with O2 on their online 200 package plus insurance. you pay £5 a month insurance and £25 when you make a claim, but its well worth it if you ...
...it looks like every other Motorola V3. the screen is a good size and the buttons are easy to use. The phone is quite light and of course very slim and easy to pocket. Annoying when trying to find it in the bottom of your bag though! The red "bits" are very durable to scratching but the outside screen I've found can be damaged as mine developed a nice big star shaped cross on it. I claimed on the insurance and was sent a new phone the next day. ...

Review of Motorola RAZR V3i

I have had this phone for a year so it can be used for people only keeping this phone a short time or a longer period. I recommend this phone for up to a year maybe year and a half but not really any longer than that. In the past year I have had to send my phone back once but I normally can live with little problems so read on and see what you think. Good points the phone has a big screen that you can see clearly, once you have played around with ...
...understand, there is a message button so you don't have to go into the menu to sort out your messages just press the button, you can change you phone from silent to loud or ring and vibrate from the buttons on the side of the phone without opening it, or if someone is ringing you and you want to stop it ringing without cutting them off because your dodging calls you just press a button the side of the phone without opening it and waa hay call dodged. ...

Review of Motorola RAZR V3i

...always been a fan of motorola since i got my first mobile phone 7 years ago. the models have changed however the quality has stayed the same. For the last year i had the motorola Razor V3 which was slim, sexy and functional. On the launch of the Motorola RAZR V3i i was suprised at just how good this new model was. The V3i is slim, sexy and hardwearing with a multitute of functions that i never imagined i would need on a mobile phone. The V3i includes: ...
...catching with itss glowing blue motorola symbol and green charging light and gorgeous metallic appearance. Totally top quality. The only disadvantage i have found like others is the complexity of sorting out your email on this phone however for me this is a minor issue as i rarely use this facility anyway. If your looking for a flip phone with a huge amount of funtions which is hard wearings, high quality and excellent value then the motorola V3i ...

...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 ...

Review of Motorola RAZR V3i

...compares well to the first Motorola I owned seven years ago – so bad I've blanked its name from my memory. The signal is not always good, but I think this has more to do with T-Mobile than with the phone. The aforementioned games are a bit slow to load and the golf game seems to have a mind of its own – the ball seems to go in the direction the phone wants and not where you aim it. Snooker is good, though, and I've found myself getting better at ...
...You can change the display background, either with the pre-stored options or with your own pictures. If this phone was a person, it would be an Italian man – well dressed, but understated; stylish, but not in your face; very friendly when you get to know him, and no problem when you understand what buttons to press. There's a pink version (ahem)... ...

Review of Motorola RAZR V3i

I have had this one for about two years now, and I am happy with its performance. I got it around christmas time after loosing my old phone. when I received it - it looked "new". The silvery colour was nice, shiny and scratch free... Very stylish. Now is a different story, a few scratches and stickers stuck over it, but thats me, you don't have to do that... I use my phone to text, to call, to listen to music, to play games, and to take photos. ...
...down to your provider) so my texts are sent quickly and efficently, and my call are clear - even on speaker phone. My music is clear, however it is not always loud. and some formats do not work. To add more tracks you have to add memory with a Micro SD card. And thats the case aswell when you want to take lots of photos or make a few videos. There is not a lot of space if you do not enlarge it with this memory boosting card. There are a few games. ...

Review of Motorola RAZR V3i

I have had this phone a while and it has done me well, even dropped it a few times without any breakages. Always use these motarola phones and they always seem to be reliable, also they arent the most expensive phones which is an added bonus! I will be sure to get another one like this/the new version when it is available. Battery can sometimes go down quite quickly however it has a long standby battery life, since i use mine very often the battery ...
...expected with every phone i guess. One of the only downfalls is that the phone is very easily scratched, so be sure to get a cover for it or be very carefull when putting it in pockets with sharp objects etc. Overall the best phone i have used/owned and reccommend it to anyone. ...

Review of Motorola RAZR V3i

...the phone are the standard Motorola ones, pretty crappy but there are a few good ones. I find it's better to just put your own on and use them. The keypad is great for texting as the keys are quite big, I found that I didn't really make many mistakes. The menus can be quite confusing, the thing I struggled with the most was finding out how to bluetooth a file to somebody, and also changing my ringtones! Motorola really need to get some clearer menus! ...
...VGA cameras that took better pictures! Overall, this phone is OK, but I think that Motorola need to iron out the glitches to make it top quality. If you want to be able to use your phone like an MP3 player, then try getting a Sony Ericcson Walkman phone. ...

Review of Motorola RAZR V3i

I love it! It's a great phone, i bought it with money from my birtday. Set me back £90 from T-Mobile shop, but it was worth it. The sleek look comprised with the technology the phone has really makes it a good buy. It has a really big screen on the inside, which is brilliant for pictures or short videos. The Phone is quite wide, but thin when opened. Also, the keys are really big, so it's useful if you have big fingers. My Dad loves, it, he's getting ...
...people who have trouble using smaller phones. The biggest problem it has is the small amount of memory which is not expandable. This limits the amount of pictures and videos you can take, the total memory is about 5MB. But when you compress your songs, u can fit maybe two or three full length MP3 songs ont the phone. Connectivity wise, it has a USB port and integrated Bluetooth. The V3 also is web compatible, with GPRS. Not quite sure what it does, ...

Review of Motorola RAZR V3i

This phone is very sleek and very futuristic looking the type of phone you would expect to see on the table on one of Paul Van Dyk’s music videos. The phone is light stylish very funky and conceals very well and has a good range of options for installing ringtones and data transferring can be good if you can get it to work. The camera quality is better than most phones around the time this phone came out in the shops however having seen some of the ...
...think this phone has well passed it’s sell buy date. Also the memory is very poor it can only store 6 videos about 4 minuets long and about 15 pictures, the battery life is non existent and the data transfer is bad as half the time the PC will not find the phone and I have used this on several PC’s and the Carphone Warehouse said it was down to the amount of updates their have been for the software so in short the software will not run properly. ...

I think its more than an elegant handphone but its like good design and modern stylish. about the battery because of thin design and not use lithium ion battery so its only for 48 hours standby time and 4 hour for talk time but I think its OK no problem with the battery because the mini USB its ready to connect its to computer and it is automatically charging.
