I owned the original v3. It was fine but no video camera. I dropped it, got a newer version. It was even better. Now I have the V3xx. It is by far the best phone i have owned. The new 3G technology is great. The ease of use and the connectivity speed is awesome.

The only problem I have encountered. I cannot use the old batteries from my V3i. The same phone charger can be used on this phone.

I transfered pics taken from an old phone the nokia 3200, they look better on the V3xx. Memory capacity is greatly increased, the phone uses a micro sd card. Of course it is also an mp3 player. If you do not plan to use the new technolgy, just stick to your old phone. This is a great addition to the ATT family of products. And no I do not work for ATT, although I should.

I've had this phone about a month now, and it's the best phone I've ever owned. I am able to get full reception in places where I used to have to go outside to get a signal at all. I just downloaded some graphics and tones with a data cable for the first time today, and all was great once I figured out that you had to change the connection from memory card (came set that way) to data cable. I haven't installed a memory card yet, but that's next on my list. The graphics on the wallpapers are really sharp.

I bought a grey V3xx for my boyfriend and had to exchange it because it kept shutting off (the battery seemed not to fit tightly), but the new one hasn't skipped a beat and he loves his, too.

The voice recognition feature is fairly good, but the biggest thing for us is the improvement over our old V3's in the reception quality.

Not sure that I like the fact that it's slighlty larger than my old razr, but the upgrades are worth it. The 3G is definitely a faster connection than the old Edge (I use my phone as a data connect for my laptop). Although I haven't actually needed to store anything to the SD card, I like that I have that option, which my old razr did not. I like the razr overall, and decided to get another one instead of some of the other 3G options, and that was my main reason for the phone upgrade in the first place, because I like that I can slide it into my back pocket easily and it doesn't totally stand out.

I love this phone. I have not had any problems and it works great. The sound levels are great. The quality is not a problem at all. I have purchased the software to go woth Motorola and that has made it easier to load all of my phone book. The program makes using my phone as easy as waling down the hall. It is a great phone for even my 11 yr old.

My first impression when I saw the phone in person was that I had never seen a more pale shade of gold. But of course that is a subjective issue. The real problem was that the battery would never charge more than one bar, and then go down; I had to send it back. Amazon promptly refunded the cost. I then purchased the same model in a different color from another AT&T authorized dealer. It was almost free with two year contract extension. (I want phone service anyway and there's no discount for not taking the phone.) The new one charges properly. The first one may have been a fluke. Motorola has fixed a couple problems that the old V3 models had. (I had five V3 models) 1) On the V3 phones, when I used blue tooth, the I.D. ringers would switch to default ringer. 2) The blue tooth would shut off and the phones would hang up when the phone was within 50 feet of an operating microwave or a 2.4 gigahertz wireless device. The V3xx is not bothered with these problems. One strange occurrence though, once when I changed batteries, the phone lost my pictures from the phone's internal memory. The factory sample pictures remained in the internal memory and the micro SD card memory was not effected. So far it hasn't done it again. Contrary to one other report, this phone can use a 2GB card. On some settings the camera displays pictures with a purplish cast compared to the old V3. Changing the setting seems to improve it. The phone's music player works well, but certain bass notes are distorted and I've tried different headsets and compared the same music and same headphones on a Sansa MP3 Player and it was not distorted. Once when connected to a Motorola S9 Wireless Stereo headset, the right channel and right controls went dead. I thought the headset had failed, but discovered that after removing the phone battery and then restarting the phone, the functions were restored. (Like rebooting a computer?) So far, another one-time occurrence. The phone section has performed wonderfully and as you could guess, I really like the Razr styling.

I love this phone! It's one of the best phones I have ever owned and I would suggest it to anyone! I've been with every phone company and Cingular is my favorite. This phone, because of being G3, gets reception anywhere!

The Man(tm) and i renewed our contract with pacbell/cingular/cingularatt/cingular/att just recently. i've been hankering for a new cell phone (since i lost my previous one and was using one my friend gave me, which was older than Methuselah) and was willing to shell out the coins for this gorgeous gold razr. and lucky me, unless you live in compton and have a deft desire to either be shot to death for carrying something so pimpalicious or is one yourself, i'm probably one of the only few non-ghettolistas who will be carrying this beauty for the next two years. well, okay, so perhaps a few wanna-bes will want to carry it too... probably one of those useless dolts living in the thick of orange county - you know, driving enormous SVUs (still), going to their get their nails done every thursday between matilda's ballet practice and mason's taekwondo training, getting "homemade" dinner from whole-food's prepared meal section, wearing tons of juicy couture as if it's really... couture... - yeah, well, they might carry these too in due time. but not only as an official resident but also the honorary empress in the land of poonty-crack between LA and OC, i will probably be one of the first one to carry this. and i must say, after all that unnecessary rambling, that it's a sweet piece of... stuff. it looks pretty. it matches my new highlights.

this is the first that that both The Man(tm) and i do not have the exact same phone either. (we've got the family plan thingie.) i paid $99 for my gold razr. he paid nada for his samsung sync. (they just received it only 2 weeks ago at our local best buy!) and he got the last red one too.

if you're into the pretty thing and reallllly want this phone, go for it. it's tight. makes you feel all pimpalicious and wanna say that you're on first name basis with the boys from miami ink. whatev. and in comparison to the sync, it's definitely sleeker looking and... well, it's gold, for crying out loud!!!

but that sync's got some vibe. mine has 1.3 megapix - whoopdee doo... until you see his sync, which has 2. the memory card? mine only takes up to 1 gig - his can take up to 2. sound quality? his kicks major horchata. so... er... mine is pretty!!!

if i can somehow merge the fabulousness of the gold razr with the inner beauty of the sync, i think it'd be a perfect phone. however, isn't that like that one GE advertisement? i have to wait until beauty and brains merge one day...

point being? if you like pretty but less than substantial offering, go for the razr. if you want supergizmo that has a tip-calculator (!!! how effin' important is THAT?!!??! i used that function in my last LG like crazy!!) and the world currency converter... don't get the razr. you know which one i'm talkin' about if you want all that technogeeko goodness.
