Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

Thin is definitely in. At just over a half-inch thick, the Motorola RAZR V3 is the perfect combination of sleek design and powerful features. With long-range Bluetooth, support for video playback, a VGA (640 x 480) camera, and a gorgeous color screen, the RAZR V3 is everything you're looking for in a stylish mobile companion. The Motorola RAZR V3 is truly an impressive quad-band phone. And now it is available in gorgeous pink (some folks call it magenta) for those who want to kick up the style and get the most out of their Cingular service.

Take a closer look at the pink RAZR V3's functions.

Design
The RAZR V3's design takes the standard clamshell form factor to the next level with an impressive, anodized aluminum construction. A large 176 x 220 color display with 262,000 colors dominates the inside of the top cover. The outside cover of the handset sports a supplementary 96 x 80 full-color display that can display pictures, time, call information, battery and signal strength, and more. The VGA camera lens is housed above this display. Up/down buttons are placed on the left side for volume control, and a voice button on the right side of the unit allows you to enter voice memos and create voice dialing profiles. Most of the phone's features and onscreen menus are controlled by a five-way center button on the handset's backlit control pad, which is precision cut from a single sheet of nickel-plated copper alloy. A charging port and USB data cable port is located on the bottom of the phone.

Calling Features
The RAZR V3's internal phone book can hold up to 1,000 contacts, and the phone's picture ID system allows you to assign pictures to your most common callers. It also supports polyphonic ringtones as well as MP3 ringers, allowing you to use portions of your favorite songs to alert you to incoming calls. A number of ringtones come preloaded on the phone, and more ringtones can be downloaded from Cingular Wireless's MEdia service. There's even an included application, MotoMixer, that lets you mix your own ringtones. For times when you want to be discreet, there's a vibrating alert. A built-in speakerphone makes it easy to talk without having the phone to your ear, and voice-activated dialing makes calling your friends, family, and associates as easy as saying their names.

Because the RAZR V3 is Bluetooth enabled, wireless headsets can be configured with the phone for total hands-free operation.

Messaging, Internet, and Tools
The RAZR V3 is a messaging and wireless Internet powerhouse. Support is built in for sending and receiving pictures, text, graphics, sound, and video via messages. When used in combination with the phone's built-in still and video camera, MMS opens up a whole new world of messaging fun. Instant messaging is also supported via AOL Instant Messenger, and the phone ships with a built-in e-mail client with support for POP3, IMAP4, and SMTP protocols (Cingular messaging charges apply). There's also a built-in Web browser for MEdia downloads and mobile Web browsing. Cingular's MEdia service lets you receive and send e-mails, read news headlines, get weather updates, download games and ringtones, and more. iTap text entry, which is a technology that makes it easier to enter words and text on handsets, is built in to the unit--a plus for mobile e-mail and text messaging users.

Getting on the Internet is easy with the RAZR V3 as it supports Cingular's GSM-based Wireless Internet Express service. When used with a Cingular data plan and the phone's Bluetooth or USB data capability, the phone can be used as a wireless modem for laptops and PDAs.

A number of handy software tools are bundled with the RAZR V3, including a voice memo recorder, a calculator with currency converter, a calendar, and an alarm clock. Use the phone's Bluetooth capability to set up a wireless link with a Bluetooth accessory or to connect to a computer or hand-held device to exchange and synchronize data. The phone also supports the SyncML PC synchronization standard, which can be used with Motorola's Mobile Phone Tools PC application to manage and synchronize contacts, calendar, and other data with your PC.

Imaging and Entertainment
With 5 MB of internal memory storage, the RAZR V3 shines in the entertainment department. The phone's VGA camera features a 4x zoom, image quality options, and an auto-timer so you can be in your pictures, too. Capture stills and then send them to your friends via MMS messaging or e-mail or to your PC via USB or Bluetooth. The phone is capable of MPEG4 video playback when you receive a video message or if you upload video to the phone via USB or Bluetooth. The RAZR V3 also supports custom graphics for wallpapers, so you can dress up the phone to suit your fancy.

Support for gaming is built into the phone and games are available for download via the Cingular MEdia service.

Operating the RAZR Battery Door
The RAZR V3's battery cover is designed to have a very tight fit with the phone case. You may need to use your fingernail or a very thin instrument to depress the small battery cover release button. When replacing the cover, make sure the cover securely snaps into place before operating the phone.

Vital Statistics
The Motorola RAZR V3 weighs 3.35 ounces and measures 3.86 by 2.09 by 0.54 inches. Its lithium-ion battery is rated at up to 6.67 hours of digital talk time and up to 250 hours of digital standby time. It runs on the 850/900/1800/1900 MHz GSM/GPRS frequencies. The phone comes with a one-year limited warranty.

Product Description

The Moto Razr V3 is expertly crafted to deliver exceptional performance. Inside the ultra-thin design are advanced features like MPEG4 video playback, Bluetooth® wireless technology, a digital camera and more. And with the precision-cut keypad, minimalist styling and metal finish, the V3 looks just as beautiful as it performs. The real difference is in the details. See who’s calling, in color, without opening your phone — the large internal display is complemented by an impressive external display. The precision-cut metal keypad reacts to the lightest of touches. And the features you can't always see are equally impressive, like quad-band GSM — for global calls where GSM network coverage and roaming agreements are present.

5.0 out of 5 stars Pink RAZR and Cingular have exceeded our expectations, March 31, 2006

By 

tall-latte (Sammamish, WA USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Motorola RAZR V3 Pink (AT&T) (Wireless Phone)

We bought both a Black and Pink version of this phone. My review below is about the black phone, but it applies to this pink one, too.

Review for women: it's pink!
Review for men: see below

(just kidding)

I've had the Treo 600 (Sprint) for the past 2 years, and I was getting tired of the bulk and the weight. I also didn't care for Sprint's tools (check out Cingular's MEdia Net). I bought the Treo primarily for e-mail, but I realized I am usually just reviewing and not sending messages.

The RAZR V3 Black has exceeded my expectations (I also bought a pink one for my wife), and it is actually superior to the Treo 600 in many areas.

I am also impressed with Cingular so far, which seems to have better coverage than Sprint in my area (Seattle). The MEdia Net tools are incredible, especially if you are a March Madness fan.

Many features, such as text messaging, seem much easier to use with Cingular and the RAZR than with Sprint and the Treo.

Web browsing also seems slightly faster on Cingular than on Sprint.

Some people complained about low volume. I think this must have been corrected on newer models, as mine is quite loud.

This phone was recalled in early 2006, so it's important to buy from a reputable dealer, where you know you are getting a post-recall (at least mid-March 2006) version of the phone.

Couple of tips:

1. Go to the mobile section of Yahoo and find out how to synchronize your Yahoo Calendar and Contacts with your RAZR calendar and contacts -- it is very cool. You actually synchronize over GPRS instead of via your PC.

2. You can get a mini-USB cable to charge your RAZR from your laptop.

3. Download Opera Mini web browser (mini.opera.com from your phone's WAP browser) to supplement the limited WAP browser.

4. Very nice bluetooth synchronization with Mac OS X's Calendar and Address Book.

Potential show stoppers for some people:

1. Haven't found a way yet to access multiple IMAP e-mail accounts. The included POP/IMAP client seems to only allow one account. There is also support for major ISPs (e.g., Yahoo Mail) independent of the POP/IMAP client.

2. Haven't found a good case yet, so I'm a bit scared sticking it in my pocket unprotected. UPDATE: No problems with no case.

3. The SAR rate seems a bit high, especially during data transmission mode. It will make a nearby radio go crazy with interference right before a text message comes in.

4. The speaker phone is not very good quality, so I end up using the bluetooth headset most of the time.

All in all, we are very happy with our Black and Pink RAZRs on Cingular!

5.0 out of 5 stars A very good cell phone, but..., February 20, 2006

This is a very good cell phone and Amazon.com gives the best deal. But, you can't transfer your old phone number from different provider to Cingular through Amazon.com. If you transfer your old phone number, you won't get your rebate. Please read amazon.com rebate rules carefully!!!

3.0 out of 5 stars "Free phone?" I think not, July 20, 2006

By 

C. Rushforth "C. Rushforth" (Jacksonville, FL) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Motorola RAZR V3 Pink (AT&T) (Wireless Phone)

I am not really going to review the phone but my intent is to inform others about another "review" on this phone.
There is a review of this phone below that says you can get an unlocked phone for free. That is misleading... To get the "free" RAZR, you must answer a lenghty survey, and then subscribe to certain offers that you choose from. I got all the way to the end of the survey, having selected trial offers of tooth whitening strips, Blockbuster Online, Columbia House video, and cosmetique makeup. Certainly I would be able to subscribe to those and then cancel my subscription. On the last page, I was required to choose 4 offers, but they all cost way too much. I quit at that point because I have no need for home wine delivery, foreclosure listings, or the like.
