Motorola RAZR V3 Unlocked Cell Phone with Video Player--International Version with No Warranty (Black)

This phone is a piece of junk. The phone i received had AT&T logo on it. The phone feels like made from cheap material. I used to have the RAZR before and it was good. Believe me unless you want to waste your money and time, DO NOT buy this junk. I am sending this back today.

Well, I've had my V3 Razr for about 15 months. In that time, it's been unusually trouble free. Okay, once or twice, it has freaked out with a whitescreen but I attribute this to heavy use and some cheap aftermarket batteries.

The good: Yes, it's sleek and pretty. It's well built. It's packs away in a vestpocket. The range beats most other phones in my area--I get more bars than anybody I know in concrete buildings and I actually live in one.
It has the features I need: bluetooth, speaker phone, conference call, etc. And a few features I don't need: camera--I'm a very small businessman, I'm not Steven Spielberg. Still, I keep a foto of my family as a background screen--it's a nice touch.

At 95 bucks, you can't top the price for this kind of quality. I paid $250 for my current V3 Razr when I bought it overseas. And I'm buying a second phone as backup and to take advantage of the commonality of all the accessories I now have. Plus, my wife is eying my current Razr rather hungrily and she'll probably wrench it from me before too long, anyway.

The bad: Battery life is only fair; I get a full day at the office with 3+ hours of calls and most of those bluetoothed for handsfree action. But you have to expect to recharge nightly. Even moderate use of an hour or so necessitates a nightly recharge. I can live with this. I just can't afford to have my phone fail on an important call. So I charge it daily. Often, it's on the recharger at work while I use my bluetooth headset. This works for me. It's always ready to go when I am.

Hey, I consider 3+ hours of use to be a serious workload for any cell phone. It's really not fair to beat on your phone on a daily basis and then complain about its performance.

For the benefit of those worried about the warranty, well, I live abroad. The Razr is a very popular model. There are numerous service centers with people skilled in the repair this phone. If it's not up to snuff when you open it on day one--send it back to Amazon on their 30 day return policy.
But if it works fine, then rest assured it's no big deal to get service for it in any large city abroad or in the U.S.

I give it 4 stars for all of the above reasons. To me, the good outweighs the bad. I don't need a ton of features. Just a few that work consistently. And I have 15 months of mostly heavy but trouble-free use so far. Hey, the best endorsement I can give is the fact that I just bought another one.

It is a decent product for regular voice users. The design is quite neat and clean. One charge of the battery gives almost one week's worth of standby hours. Another plus is that this phone has Input in Chinese.

Got this phone less than 1 year. But, now as I talk, the phone becomes so hot that it hurts my ear and my hand. I hate this phone. It's a piece of junk. It looks fancy but not practical. And then I have to charge it every night otherwise, the battery dies so quickly even though I hardly use my phone.

I recieved this phone a couple of weeks ago and I really like it. My old Sony Ericsson had a couple of features that I miss with this phone (timer, stopwatch, programable daily alarm clock), but otherwise I really like it. I'd never go back to my old phone!! This one has a much better signal and keeps a charge a LOT longer.
