Hi, I bought this phone only last week & am finding problem in transferring music from a Samsung D500 phone the Motorola V3. Can you assist me to do the transfer by engaging the Bluetooth since I have used the Bluetooth several & it did not work, thank you for your concern.

I have had this phone for years, since it came out, & I LOVE it! It doesn't hold many songs etc, admittedly but I have loved it! It looks great & is easy & simple to use! X.

I have owned one for 2 years now & it is still going strong, even after being dropped onto tarmac or concrete several times during its life. Both the displays are clear, keypad works well & has good standby charge unless you leave Bluetooth turned on.

It does have a small memory with no option to increase, it can store in the region of 50 texts or more. First & for most it is a phone with the option to take photos which it cannot be faulted for. So, if Mp3s or photos & videos are as important as texting then you should look elsewhere for something suitable.

I had never had any of the other problems people have mentioned here such as connecting to the Internet on its own accord, so I believe it is just a small number of people who suffer this, just like the other issues mentioned.

I have this phone only to use as a modem through my PC for cheap Internet (pound a day or 2.50 a week on T Mobile) whenever I desire to use it. I wouldn't have this phone as my main phone as it hasn't got what I want from a mobile & it lacks in features in that way! It's okay for if you just want a simple phone for basic texting & calling & no more. As for style of it, I don't like the design but colours are okay especially lilac & pink ones. I got it in black & unlocked.

I have had this phone for about 3 years, the first was the older version without video & it was great couldn't really find fault as for real pictures I'd use a camera. My problem comes with the newer one which has video capture, now my phone holds only 20 messages in the inbox & after a year I am giving it up as it's just too frustrating. Otherwise an excellent phone but not recommended if you receive lots of messages or want to take decent photos on your phone..

I've got this phone in pink. When I got it I was so excited! On the review in Morrisons it said MP3 phone. I was very disappointed when I took it home & found it wasn't. I think the phone is ideal for sum1 who doesn't want music as it is very good for texting on. But I keep getting browser messages & they take all the credit off my phone. Does anyone know what this is & how to stop it? It also keeps jamming up & the background I have on it goes really weird & it won't turn on or off for ages. Good phone though! Kirst X.

I have had this phone in pink for over 2 years now & it's still working! I have dropped it loads & even put it in the washing machine by accident.

Yeah as everyone has pointed out the memory is rubbish but it is ideal for people who want a phone to text & ring. The only downside is the phone sometimes goes on to a grey screen & switches its self off then on again but had a few Nokia's that did this too.

Overall a nice phone.

Reviewer: Jo webster - England, UK

The only thing this phone is good for is throwing away basically. I have has it about a year, I dropped it once & it's been faulty ever since.

The memory is poor, it can hold only one song & up to 30 pictures. The camera quality is poor & the videos are really short.

Altogether I hate this phone! It's really fragile & I don't really like the looks. It's like a flip brick! I am getting a new phone asap!

Reviewer: Alan - London, UK

I can't understand why this phone gets poor reviews considering what you can now pay for one (under £30 at Tesco).

I have had budget phones from Samsung & Nokia costing more but the Motorola is far superior & better quality, if you want a phone just to make calls & to text then the RAZR V3 is fine.

If you want music video etc, then perhaps you should be looking for a decent MP3 or MP4 player instead of a mobile phone.

A bad phone I have had it 3 months & hate it poor memory I hate it I am now selling it on eBay for only £10 when I paid £80 a true rip of I am now buying a LG chocolate it should arrive today. Warning don't buy this phone!

The features are pretty good & the phone looks good. However the battery dies very often & after having this phone for about a year it switches off by itself.

Reviewer: Danny - UK
Date: 2nd Mar 2008

I really hate this phone because it always dials 666. I quite like the design & feel of the phone but it only has 6MB of memory on it, the camera is bad as it is only a vga camera & there is no place to put a memory card in. If you are thinking of buying a phone I wouldn't suggest this phone because it also accesses the Internet if I leave it in my pocket for about ten minutes. Hope this helped you.

Date: 28th Feb 2008

I have had this phone for just over a year & it hasn't failed me yet. It can be a bit slow sometimes & the screen gets imprints of the keys on it, but otherwise it is very good. Will admit that the camera is not very good but it is OK enough in good light, but grainy sometimes. Overall it is very good.

Reviewer: P - Essex, UK
Date: 23rd Feb 2008

The camera pictures always came out blurry & the video was no good however I had this phone for a while & it lasted great considering it had got wet, been on roller coasters, chucked in school bag etc. The screen was easy to keep clean & unmarked, the Internet was easy to use & the buttons worked well when wearing fake nails. Nice size phone fits neatly in pockets however not enough memory space can only just fit on 2 songs 3 maximum.

Reviewer: Lily - UK
Date: 22nd Feb 2008

I've tried to be fair with this review. This phone has obviously been around for a while, so to compare it to newer phones with new technology is pointless. When I first got it I thought it was amazing, it is fantastically slim & was a lot nicer than some of the other Nokia bricks available at the time. I have had no problems with it at all, & I've had it for about two/three years now (ages! ).

Pros.
- Nice simple texting.
- Has a camera (not fantastic) but has zoom, brightness settings. If you close it you can take pictures of yourself easily (you can see the screen on the front). Basically, it is what you expect of the price you can get it for.
- Bluetooth (amazingly! ).
- Lovely simple design.
- It shows the time on the front screen.
- Nice simple navigation.

Cons.
- Appalling memory size (5MB). I can fit two songs on & after installing all the software & loading all my songs (from my MP3) to the Motorola phone tools, I wasn't impressed to find not enough memory.
- Battery life. For a while I thought it was awful, I had my phone of constantly because the battery would go down in a matter of hours. It was only when I found out my Bluetooth had been on ALL the time I had got it, that I realised that was what was wearing it down. It can now last for a day or two, which is still not great.
- the camera & video quality, not brill.
- Slow loading times (for games, browser etc).
- Lack of memory card slot. My problem with the memory would be solved, but it is so old that it doesn't have a slot!
- Generally outdated.


Following on from my last point, this phone other than just not being in with all the new technology is great (believe it or not! ). If you want a simple phone good for making texts & phone calls with a good battery life & pretty looks, then this is a good phone for you, but that probably doesn't include many people as we (mostly) want amazing top notch everything to impress our friends with.


Conclusion.
I wouldn't buy this phone as you would probably be looking for a phone with more memory & better tools almost immediately.

Sorry Motorola, but I am now looking at the Sony Ericsson W810i, & writing this review has just made me 100% sure it IS prefect :).

This is a very stylish good looking super slim phone however the internal memory is useless because it only has just under 5MB the keypad is hard to use because when navigating you could accidently press the very small select button overall a pretty useless phone.

Owned this handset for about 10 months a couple of years ago. It was a phone I longed for as soon as I first set eyes on it, I can cut this review short by saying it's a lot like an expensive Italian supercar, looks awesome & the performance promised a lot, alas sadly the build quality & reliability was appalling. My razor ended up being snapped into two separate pieces whilst in my back pocket. Nowadays it's a bargain however so if you're looking for a mobile that you're not intending to keep for ages then look no further!

I got this phone in lilac for Christmas & I wish I hadn't, after 4 months my parents had to buy me a new one because it snapped in half. It has extremely low memory, the battery life is rubbish & the camera is bad. I would not recommend this phone to anybody. It is a waste of money.

Reviewer: Rachel - Australia
Date: 2nd Feb 2008

Well I never! People who say this phone is. 'Embarrassing'?

WHAAA?!

It's an awesome phone. I have had it for a year already, true I am getting a new one, but that's only because I am sick of this phone, there's nothing wrong with it.

It's super thin, & I love the keypad. It's super easy to use & I think that it is a very standard phone for TODAYS market. But when I got it, it was very good quality.

I wouldn't recommend buying it now, because the technology is so old.

I had my V3 for over a year. It survived being dropped thousands of times & it went in the bath twice. It's a good phone but the Sony Ericsson Z750i way better!

Reviewer: Samantha - UK
Date: 16th Jan 2008

I've had this phone for just over a year now & it suits me perfectly. Yes it only holds one song but isn't that what you have Ipods & MP3 players for? & the camera on it is good if you want to take a quick fun snaps but if you want high quality pictures then use a proper camera. I've had a couple of little accidents with my phone but its never actually broken once its just covered in lots of scratches but it still works fine so I have no plans to change it yet.

Reviewer: Michelle - Washington Dc, US
Date: 13th Jan 2008

I loved this phone. It is great for people who have maybe only had 1 or 2 phones before, as it is kind of simple. It has an OK camera, but was a little bit slow & blurry at times. The storage, I must say was a sort of awful, & compared to my uni friends, who could hold around 50 songs, the v3 could hold 10 at the maximum. One thing I did like though was the design & feel of the phone. It felt really nice to hold & fitted into my pocket so easily & unobstructively.

It is a brilliant phone for things like texting, & calling, but not so good for those of you who enjoy your pics, vids & tunes. Hope that all of this helps.

I have had this phone for ages & it has been brilliant! No problems whatsoever & it is a great phone! The only down side is that the memory isn't too great. One song. Oh well, buy an ipod. (: I have dropped this phone so many times, & it hasn't affected it in any way. Just a few tiny scratches. (:

I love this phone, but now I am looking for a phone with a bigger memory. I am going to miss it (: but I recommend this phone to anyone. It's a brilliant, long lasting phone.

I have had this phone since Crimbo 2005 & it's been brill. I have dropped it loads of time & it still works. The battery life can last up to a week which is great spesh for someone like me who forgets to charge it up ha-ha! The one problem is really how slow it takes to Bluetooth & once you have sent it or been sent something, the file is normally too big & won't load but apart from that this phone is brill & is a great for anyone who just wants a casual phone for school or whatever!

Reviewer: Mgpro - UK
Date: 4th Jan 2008

I have had this phone for over 5 months & no problems have occurred. This is not advertised as a MP3 phone, it is more of a fashion phone. The camera is only for quick snaps, so bring a digital one when you need one. The memory is mainly for a ringtone & pictures, overall very reliable.

I THINK THIS PHONE IS JUST TAKING the MICK. I got it for my birthday & I thought it well good but then I realised it had no memory & you could only have 1 song on it & there is loads of bad ringtones & you can't even delete them. ALL the PEOPLE OUT THERE don't GET IT OR you WILL BE CRYING A RIVER please TAKE MY ADVICE.

Reviewer: Quanda - Canada
Date: 18th Dec 2007

Ha ha ha all your bad reviews make me laugh. Look at the reviews on & before March of 2006, they're great! They also weren't nearly as popular back then. I've had mine for 2 years & it's served me great. Sure the camera is shabby but let's keep it in mind that this phone has been in production for over 2 years.
Anyway, they were absolutely fantastic up until Q2 2006 (that's second quarter of 2006, so April & on) they weren't popular they were quality phones. Then they got popular & Motorola made more for cheaper (basic principle of business) & to anyone who bought a phone, especially in 2007, you are a sheep & nothing more. You followed a fad & bought the oh so popular phone of the time. What you didn't realize is they turned to rubbish. Problems with cracked screens & dust (sand?) under the screen cover are unacceptable problems basically just cheap manufacturing. When I got my phone we also got custom leather pouches to carry them on our belts which also no longer including in post Q2 2006 packages. I've dropped mine down a flight of hardwood stairs & accidentally put it through a load in the washing machine & it works fine. Trust me they used to be great but if you are even considering buying one now. I must ask you why? They built a reputation as good phones & have been sold on those premises ever since but their quality has dropped I assure you. My review percentages are being based on the time of release though by today's standards I'd give mine a 45, 20 & 40, I'd give a new one 45, 15, & 20. Oh & just putting it out there.

Not enough memory for MP3's? Are you kidding me? When this phone came out I don't even remember there being any MP3 phones! At that point it was all about taking the technology & making it smaller & thinner. & the RAZR most certainly delivered. It wasn't about cramming songs onto a phone unless it was a short clip to be used as a ring tone. Anyway DO NOT BUY ONE, BY TODAY'S STANDARDS THEY ARE TERRIBLE I ASSURE YOU! Move on, get a new phone, something released in the last 6 to 12 months or something. But don't go complaining that a 2 plus year old phone doesn't have all the fancy stuff more recent phones have. That's what the razr2 is for. But given Motorola's bad manufacturing after becoming popular & obvious profit motive (make cheap sell high) I'd be weary. After what they did to the RAZR, I don't know how much they can really be trusted, then again others may very well be just as bad. The joys of buying technology!

As a side note I am looking at upgrading to a Samsung or Nokia.

I've had this phone for 2 years now & it's OK. I am getting the Samsung f210 for Christmas.

I would strongly recommend NOT to buy this phone because, it's alright for texting & ringing but that's it! The memory is rubbish, so is the camera. The phone is thin, yes, but it is way too wide! Don't get this phone.

I have had this razor for 1 year & it has gave me nothing but trouble, had to send it back to Cingular 3 times & same thing with the other ones they sent me, the battery does not last, I have had to put 3 new batteries in it in 5 months of use, the screen goes blank & the phone goes out, a lot of times, I have had nothing but trouble with this phone, the ringtones are bad & graphics, you have to buy them if you want good ones, the camera is OK, signal quality is bad, the only thing I like about it was the colour, pink, I want get another razor, I think the Nokia is a hold lot better phones!

Reviewer: Dan Whymark - Essex, UK
Date: 6th Dec 2007

I have had this phone for about a year now, & I have liked it sort of. The problem is that it has no memory the rest of the phone is totally perfect. But my advice is just don't buy it, unless you just want to ring people, the camera is terrible, the video is terrible.

---

Reviewer: Nadine - Springfield, UK
Date: 5th Dec 2007

Would definitely recommend this phone! It may not have a huge pile of features & the memory is a bit rubbish but it's very reliable! I have dropped mine about 20 times, no joke, & it has never cracked! The most that happens is that it'll immediately turn off & back on again which is no big deal. Getting a Samsung D900 for Christmas & I am kind of beginning to regret it after reading the reviews for it as I am rather clumsy with phones, always dropping them etc!

The Motorola is a tad heavy but personally I think it looks really stylish, the camera isn't bad, the sound is good & as I said before it's quite strong! It is also rather cheap at the minute.

Had this phone 2 years & it was a year old second hand when I aquired it. No problems at all. Good battery life. I only want a phone for phone calls. It also pairs with my sat nav via Bluetooth. Nice & slim, fits in my pockets unobtrusively & the buttons don't get pressed accidentally because it's a flip phone. Nice quality feel to the metal case. Still one of the smartest phones out there. Wouldn't change it. Would buy another.

Got this phone because I already had C975 which needed replacing which I was used to & I liked the Motorola layout.

I have had it for a few months now. Very disappointed, poor memory, difficult to use (it looks snazzy, but I rather have ugly & usable than pretty & difficult), Bluetooth is a joke, glad I got it in a sale. If I paid list I would be mad. The real teller is that I am still using the C975 most of the time.

I did have this phone & I loved it at first it was so small & slim I was so excited. It lasted me about 1 to 2 months. Well first it stared crashing on me. Then it would find me on Bluetooth & so on.

It has terrible memory, yes whoever wrote the, it isn't labelled MP3 player phone, we all know that but it doesn't hold loads of pictures either! I wouldn't get this phone if you're into playing songs, taking loads of pictures or sending stuff on Bluetooth.

Thanks for reading.

So I got my razor about February 2006 & at first I did like it because it was the phone to have & there was nothing else on the market. But now I am on my 3rd one, they just break for no reason.

I am on a family plan & we want to leave T Mobile when my contract ends in February 2008. So I am stuck because it just broke today from some kind of water, but I didn't get any water on it recently.

The pictures were useless because they were so blurry. They keys are cool but they break off to easy. The screen is not that good because it's always so darn blurry. I really don't think you should buy it due to the fact that it breaks way to easy & then you are stuck using an old phone.

I seriously would not recommend this phone, its mainly only for texting & calling, but if you're looking for pictures & MP3 this is not the phone to get, I thought it was to heavy & the flip is quite annoying because it takes a long time to flip up, it's got about 5MB memory which is like one short song & a few pictures as the songs that the phone came with you can't delete, this phone is only for texting & calling otherwise I would completely say no.

I absolutely loved this phone, simple & sleek, but not ideal for those of you who like your gadgets, hence the 50% for features. It's very easy to use, I found the battery life fine.

The camera was pretty useless for anything more than quick fun snaps & the 3G worked, but was basic.

Big bug bear not being email enabled & having that iMode, pain in the you now where!

My main advice would be, it doesn't do well in the washing machine!

You do not want this phone! Small design bad use! Keypad the worst, you can't text message anything accurate! The ring tones. The worst in the market of cell phones so you will be forced to 'BUY' ringtones! Battery. Very 'BAD' I have been using cell phones for the pass 15 years & I have never had something like this bad quality phone. Well after all this writing you might be asking. Why did you get one? Well the answer is simple. I got it for 'FREE' Have you ever heard ' You get what you paid' well I paid nothing I got nothing, time for me to spend on a good LG phone. Motorola your are going backwards.

Reviewer: Lee C - UK
Date: 18th Oct 2007

I am not impressed overall. Keypad is fiddly & easy to mistype characters. It's too slow when texting compared to my old Nokia. I am 4 characters ahead of the 'beep' & it does your head in after a bit.

Absolutely hopeless at sending texts with a fairly long message, gives up trying & then, just to really hack you off, there is no audible warning to tell you that it has failed to send the message. So, 3 hours later, you eventually realise the all important text you tried to send didn't go at all.

Fairly robust though, & contrary to what I have heard, I find the battery life is excellent. Don't use the camera, so can't comment.

Reviewer: Charlie Burke - Tipperary, Ireland
Date: 13th Oct 2007

I got this phone about a year & a half ago. In the beginning I loved the sleekness of its design. It was unlike any phone out at that time. But I can honestly say the outward appearance is about the only thing I now like about the phone! First of all the layout of features & buttons on the phone is extremely confusing with about 4 different buttons to be pressed several times before completing the simplest of tasks.

As a fairly rapid texter I find it takes a few seconds for the letters to appear on the screen after I have typed them which I find very confusing. This is probably one of the major problems as texting is what I mainly use my phone for. Another problem with texting is that if you are in the process of writing a text & accidently press the red button to bring you back to the main screen, the text is not saved automatically & you have to go through the tedious process of re writing the text. Also I find I can save a maximum of 60 texts in my inbox at any one time which is a lot less than the 90 I could save on my old, lower spec Nokia phone.

The battery is also very poor with the phone not lasting much longer than a day after fully charging. The picture quality not great either & I have found recently that while the picture is of OK quality immediately after taking, if I go back to it later in the saved gallery it is more blurry which is quite odd!

The fun is not very strong either & does not stand up to rough handling, I.e. One should be very careful not to drop it or spill any amount of water on it. On the positive side, despite these faults, it has worked very satisfactorily for the last year & a half & I have not had to have it repaired or such like.

This phone is rubbish! It has no memory, its scratches way too easily, you can't delete the rubbish pictures that come on it because they take up to much room! I could go on for years about the bad points! It might look good but it really isn't! Get something better!

My phone has broken after it was in a sink of not much water for one second but most phones can go for about a minute without breaking! Do NOT get this phone! Or any like it! You'll just get fed up & be getting a new one the next day! But apart from that yep it's not bad cough, cough! This is the worst phone ever!

The Motorola v3 is awful. Don't like it at all. The camera is rubbish & it has no video camera. Don't get this phone!

Verbatim - East Timor - This phone isn't very expensive anymore, so you COULD get it, although I wouldn't recommend it. It's a pretty poor phone. I don't want to tell you what phone to get, but I will recommend one. I just got the Samsung E840 for my birthday, & to be fair, it's the best phone I have ever owned. It may take a while for me to get used to the touch screen buttons, but they're OK. It's also a slider phone & (with £10 credit). This phone was about £90. Pretty cheap! It has 70MB of storage & 2MP camera. The reviews for it are pretty good. Hope you find a phone! Poppie :).

I hate this phone for a younger person I want a phone with some pictures & a few songs on it, but the memory is rubbish it is quite hard to use as well I am hoping to get a phone & not carry a RAZR v3 around with me.

I loved the look of it & the design. Predictive test is just perfect for me. However, my network provider exchanged the handset three times before we chopped it in. The phone is the most unreliable electronic item I have ever owned. STAY AWAY FOLKS! (My new Sony W580i - ROCKS! ).

Good phone with bad camera. Had this phone for about 2 years now & so disappointed. I am looking for a change to a Samsung. Motorola are thinking that they are shining aloud, but they are not. I prefer Samsung, they have better picture camera & not like Motorola, all squashed up. To spend 50 quid on this phone, it's not fair. Go & buy a Samsung, bit higher in price but better as a brand! Disappointed in Motorola.

When this phone was first released in the UK the stores were sold out it was a brand new extremely thin flip camera phone yes I must admit I was tempted to buy it but I am not glad I didn't. The first reason is that it has an extremely tiny 5MB memory I think Motorola should have expanded it as at the time mp3s on your mobile was very popular & I don't think it was a smart move. The second thing was that it had a VGA camera if you hear about that now you think something that must have been invented about 5 years ago well it was only 2 or 3. The last was that it overheats a lot & mine used to turn its self off & wouldn't turn on until it cooled down. I don't know if this is a safety feature but it was very annoying.

Had this phone for 18 long months on a contract, I found the memory to be poor, even struggles with longer ring tones, so songs are out of the question. The battery life is quite poor lasting no longer than one day. I like the word predictor function when texting, but I found texting quite difficult with the shiny silver one piece key pad. When the phone was in my trouser pockets I found the external buttons were always getting pushed thus altering ring settings. I would not recommend.

Both the wife & I have had this phone for two years now & we think it's brilliant. On saying that it should be called the 'Marmite' Phone because people either love it or hate it. We love it so much so I am looking to upgrade to the V3I. It's small, fits into you jacket or shirt pocket very easily & had a loud ring tone. It does what it says on the box. If you're quite happy with a slim phone that has all the main features including games & Bluetooth then this is the one for you. People forget the more you have on a phone the less battery life it has & the more thing's to go wrong. Over the two years we have had them. (4 V3's now) none have gone wrong & are all still working & in good condition.

OK, so at first I thought this phone was the best thing ever. But as soon as I started using it, the battery went dead after a few minutes. Then to make matters worse after a few weeks I was texting in class when suddenly the screen goes black. So now every time I turn it on the screen goes black after two seconds. This phone is useless.

This is the worst mobile phone I have ever owned. I have sent it back to Motorola & had it replaced 3 times, & it is still terrible. Like some of the other users said, when you open the phone too quickly the screen goes blank & the phone takes about a minute to reboot, if you are answering a call when this happens it will also drop your call. Each of the 3 RAZR's I have had has done this, & it happens for me on about 1 in 5 calls. Also, the battery life is really bad, I can't get more than 8 hours if I am not talking on it & I can get about an hour if I am talking to someone. Don't get this phone, terrible!

Fantastic inspired design, poorly executed. To everyone that says they can't understand why we are all complaining about this phone - well, you must be the exception to the rule, because I would estimate over 80% of these phones fail & what is wrong with the phone? Actually, the features are quite fine for the price, & the calling & texting are fine too. WHEN the PHONE IS NOT FREEZING, the SCREEN IS NOT GOING BLACK/WHITE, the BUTTONS ARE NOT GOING CRAZY, & the BACKLIGHT CAUSES the MOST ANNOYING BUZZING I HAVE EVER HEARD.

Seriously, if it didn't break down all the time, these phones would be fantastic, but they just don't perform. Look around you, ask questions & browse some web sites the information is out there. I loved this phone until it broke down after 20 minutes & then 4 returns later. Motorola V3 - Lights are on, but no-one is home! LOL.
Sorry Motorola, when you are charging money for a product this just isn't good enough. Avoid people, please don't fall for the looks.

Worst phone I ever had. At first I thought it was great & stylish. But as it went on there was nothing but trouble. When I made calls 10 seconds in the screen would turn white & cut off the call! I sent it away. But it came back the same. Then when I would try to send messages they wouldn't. Sent away again & still the same. Terrible battery life, just about to get a new phone. People, really, DON'T BUY IT!

I got my V3 from a friend as I was having a hard time texting with my trusty Nokia, I have to say that after a couple of days to get used to where everything is I can text really quickly on it, I like the way when you are inputting a big word it hazards a guess at what the word will be but allows you to carry on without forcing you to have the word it's thought of.

There are a couple of things which do annoy me with this phone, first is that you have to tell it that you want a delivery report every time you send a message, second is the abysmal battery life, (I now carry a spare fully charged battery with me in my wallet) & finally the small amount of memory, it's fine for adding ringtones as I only use part of a song for a tone, camera is OK for when it was brought out but not up to today's standards.

Calling quality is good & I can use it with my computer just fine after getting the Phone tools software installed. This phone is about 2 years old & has never had a fault, still looks good & now is fairly cheap to buy. I would not recommend this phone for anyone who likes to have lots of music & video clips or doesn't have access to a charger wherever they go but as a phone for making calls & texting it's fine.

Silly phone, that battery runs out within an hour, can't even take an normal picture & when I push with my nail below the 4 point pad on the light stripe it's getting berserk, it's just falls out in a VI call. I would Not buy this phone if i was you.

I must admit this is a very easy phone to use. I have only been using it a week as it is a temporary phone while my LG choc got sent back & waited for my new Nokia 7373.
This RAZR is very stylish not a lot of memory but would recommend as a first phone for kids maybe. If you want technology it is not for you.

Quite simply this phone is garbage! Always goes blank if you close the phone too quick, takes a good 40 seconds to come back on. I can't get any of the pics (low quality) or videos (very low quality) off the phone & onto my PC.

Always have to delete messages to receive new ones as the memory is tiny. Also, when writing texts, the letters take 5 - 10 seconds to catch up with you & it becomes a tiresome affair. DO NOT BUY!
