 I really like it September 4, 2007

I bought this RAZR v3 phone in July to go with my 7-Eleven Speak Out Wireless prepaid service. The phone I received from Amazon.com was made for the Hong Kong market, so it came with a outlet plug adapter for U.S. customers. (The AC adapter itself is universal voltage, and the slim paper manual is in English.) The phone is quadband and fully unlocked, so it can be used anywhere in the world.
I really like the RAZR phone. It's very solid and the voice quality is excellent. Speak Out Wireless runs on AT&T and T-Mobile networks so the reception quality can vary, but overall the RAZR does an excellent job in pulling in as much signal as possible. As with other Moto phones, the brightness of the screen can be adjusted, and the ringer type and volume can be easily changed. The metallic keypad takes a little getting used to, but is pretty comfy to use.
The camera is only VGA but takes good-quality pictures when there's plenty of light. Video capture is jerky and limited to 15 seconds, so that's probably the weakest feature for me. Bluetooth linkup to a Sony Ericsson earpiece works fine. Battery life is admirable; I don't use the phone much, maybe just 10 minutes a week, and I need to recharge it once every 8 days or so.
Because I've owned many Moto's before so I like the RAZR's interface, since it feels familiar, but I can understand how it can confuse users new to the Moto scene. Overall, though, I don't think it's harder to use than a Sony or Nokia.
What really impresses me is the build quality of this phone. Nowhere can you find out where this thing is made, but the material and fit and finish are excellent. I'm very happy with this inexpensive purchase.

I don't like being the first to own a new product, so I waited until the RAZR had been on the market for a long time before buying one for myself. This is by far the best of many cell phones that I've owned. The keypad does take a bit of getting used to, but once you do, it works very well. The signal strength is good, the voice quality (sending and receiving) is good, and the four-band feature is good when traveling outside the USA. Also, Amazon's price was good. IT'S ALL GOOD!
CLEAR & STRONG signal March 2, 2008

This phone rocks! First, it has an unbelievable signal wherever I go. I never have a problem connecting. Also, it is incredibly clear. I can hear the caller and they can hear me. Unlike those "candy bar" type phones, this one wraps around your face so you talk directly into the microphone and the person on the other end can hear every word you speak and not hear all of the background noise. I don't know if it has some sort of sound filter on it or not, but it sure sounds great to the person on the other end.
Another cool this is how light and thin it is. You barely even notice that it's in your pocket. But the vibrate on this phone is very strong, so you know when you're getting a call.
Last, this is an UNLOCKED phone. This is a big deal, since you can hop carriers and not have to switch phones. Also, very cool to have an unlocked phone when you go out of the country and want to make local calls in that country. Just buy a starter package abroad [usually about $10 USD] and make local calls until you use up the card. Way cheaper than trying to make calls using your US carrier.
I love this phone!
Great travel or domestic pre-pay phone... August 22, 2007

I purchased this phone from Amazon and it is exactly as advertised. The charged is 110v-220v type for Great Britian, and comes with a US adapter. No problems so far. I have a sim card for US pre-pay service through T-Moble, and the phone works as well as a cell phone plan. I also purchased a Germany sim card for my next trip in October.
Great purchase. Highly recommended.
