This phone sucks. The software is slow, especially when the phone is loaded with lots of pictures. The buttons are clumsy to push, especially if you have big fingers. Ergonomically you would do better with an older model Motorola cellphone. The buttons on the side are laid out in a manner that when you handle the phone you frequently tend to change the ringer to off inadverdently. That is a real design boo boo.
The RF section is, however, pretty sensitive and stacks up well against any other phone in terms of talk distance and reception.
Don't waste your money.

If you're looking for a phone that is the best value for your money, stop reading right here. This phone isn't for you.

If, however, you're looking for a functional phone that is attractive and garners a lot of attention from passersby and fashionistas alike, you're in the right place.

The Motorola V3i DG is a great phone - it is a RAZR after all. Some people don't like the RAZR because they think it's been played out or overdone, but this phone is unique and has a definite "cool factor". The phone's features are a standard late 2005 or early 2006 featureset - there's an MP3 player, a transflash slot, a camera (that could be a lot better, but that's Motorola for you - it's a phone), a video camera, support for real-song ringtones, and a nice set of screens.

If you're looking for a device for e-mail, this probably is not your phone. If you like to text constantly and IM casually and you talk often, this is a great phone for you. My one gripe is that the speaker phone is of a low quality compared to the RAZR I had for Verizon. Other than that, it's an excellently-crafted piece of work.

I highly recommend this phone (with the awesome-looking DG case).

This phone I found is over priced, and doesn't work any differently than my mom's razor phone that she got for free from her cell phone provider. If you want a phone that looks like it belongs to a pimp, by all means buy it. In the end, it's still a cell phone. Wasn't worth my time. Hope I spared you from losing some hard earned cash. The phone will lose the ringer or not ring at all depending on how you handle the phone. The buttons on the side are not very ergonomical. I wish I had read the reviews and saved my money.

I have had this phone since August and I love it. I am constantly complimented on it and people are always curious about it. I have no problems using text messages (someone had said they did) There is a slot for a micro SD card inside the phone (I have a 2GB card) so it doesn't really run slow for me. The phone has additional features a regular razr does not, like airplane mode, iTunes, and what I like best, software that you can transfer pictures to your phone from your computer (make your own wallpaper!) and can make your own ringtones with. Since D&G designed the phone there are some misspellings in the English lol (like dialled calls, personalise for example). There are times when I don't have signal when I should, but there are also times when I get signal when noone else does (like on the subway) so its a coin toss. All in all I love having th phone. It is definitely for people who love to be noticed and show off, and like having a pimped out phone.

I had this phone for about two months. It has the worst user interface of any phone I have owned. It was obviously designed by some engineer without any notion of what phone users really want to do. After 2 months, when I couldn't get it to redial a phone number I had just called, I took a hammer to it. As one reviewer said, the two happiest days you have with this phone are when you buy it and when you get rid of it !!! I'll never buy a motorola phone again. I only gave it one star because I couldn't give it zero !

Lets be frank, this is a RAZR after all. It is all blinged out in gold as per the D&G style but it is a RAZR. The reason I give 4 stars is my wife absolutely adores this phone and she feels it is completely reliable. The phone's features and operation have been more reliable than her previous Silver RAZR so she loves it. The only reason I won't give 5 stars is the fact it is a RAZR and is prone to the normal problems associated with RAZRs. If you want the look, then buy the phone.

This phone is not outrageously expensive and, if you wear a suit and good shoes sometimes, what's wrong with carrying a phone that doesn't make you look as a teenager? I bought D&G RAZR to replace my ~$600 Treo, because it was too heavy in a pocket and antenna fell out and had to be reattached with crazy glue. Voice quality and battery life is far better than Treo for half price.

It's really great. I used the phone in India and it works really good.

Thanks,

Sorry amazon, this is my first dissapointed review at amazon. there are 2 d&g as anne said, black and gold which is the limited edition one and the mass production one, i just bought this one but unfortunately its not in a perfect or new condition some dirt on it, the color is faded and is almost gone from the side buttons, doesnt close welland a white label inside the body trying to cover the original fone information, the assemblying is very poor, i love motorola, never had this problem, please be aware of thi, i think it's refabrished or something, missing features, buttom line DONT BUY IT FROM HERE i would sell mine for 10$ without shipping however i just got today.:S

I got this phone because I wanted to change from pay as you go to a subscription plan. I just took whatever phone the sales person offered me. I was quite taken aback by the flash of a D&G gold phone and the implications of having such a high end label. That is my only complaint. The quality of the speaker system is excellent. I love the real song capabilities and the ease of texting. I have gone from hating texting to texting diva. I love this phone and have had it since September and have had no problems with the battery or the finish. The phone will get you noticed, but that's not why I got it. I recommend this phone as being useful, capable, and efficient. I'm not a techie, and only use it for texting, alarm clock, listening to tunes, and phone calls.
