Consumer Electronics introduced
Motorola RAZR V3 Pearl Gray Phone (T-Mobile)
- Razor-thin aircraft aluminum case
- Bluetooth wireless technology
- MPEG4 video playback
- Built-in speakerphone
- Digital camera with 4x digital zoom
The Moto Razr V3 is expertly crafted to deliver exceptional performance. Inside the ultra-thin design are advanced features like MPEG4 video playback, Bluetooth® wireless technology, a digital camera and more. And with the precision-cut keypad, minimalist styling and metal finish, the V3 looks just as beautiful as it performs. The real difference is in the details. See who’s calling, in color, without opening your phone — the large internal display is complemented by an impressive external display. The precision-cut metal keypad reacts to the lightest of touches. And the features you can’t always see are equally impressive, like quad-band GSM — for global calls where GSM network coverage and roaming agreements are present.

The Motorola Razr V3 is a wonderful piece of technology. T-Mobile works great with it. I get great reception basically everywhere. Not only is the Razr a good looking cell phone but it also has amazing battery life. The speakerphone is nice and loud. Overall the Razr is a user-friendly camera flip-phone with a pleasing appearance. -

I keep waiting for at least one of the numerous complaints to happen to my phone, but alas, I keep waiting (thankfully!). I have dropped it, twice, from a short distance however, but it did not break right away like other people have claimed. The interface is great, Motorola has one of the better ones. It has all the options I want on it although there are a lot of them and it can be confusing at times. However, if you use the manual you’ll get the most out of it. It sounds great and has good reception. I also like that it is wider then most phones so I don’t have to press it to my ear. I can hear fine with just a corner of the phone to my ear which is a lot more comfortable. As for T-mobile service, I have been with them for 4+ years and have never had a complaint. They have they the best plans and the best customer service. -

I just got this version of Razr V3 (a myfaves model) as a replacement for an older silver V3. This phone restarts (reboots) when it is receiving, reading, or deleting certain text messages. Motorola and T-Mobile cannot figure out why. This is my second pearl gray of this model, both exhibited the same problem. I am receiving a third from T-Mobile soon, hopefully that one will work. -

First of all, the main photo from above is not a T-Mobile phone, it is obvious and most noticeable on the rear battery door cover. T-Mobile Razrs has been crippled by the carrier and they also erased the most essential features that came along with this fine phone; like there are no options whatsoever to display either an ‘analog clock’ or ‘mm/dd/yyyy calendar’ on the screen (similar to the one pictured above and another one I have). They’ve also replaced this phone’s battery door cover (and most Motorola) from metal to flimsy plastic!Second, I am a die-hard Razr phone fanatic, not because the phone looks sleek and slim and what have you, but most and above all, the designed ergonomics featured on this phone is excellent. The phone is very compact, the only place I seem to put it at most times is in my rear jean pocket and it hardly gets in the way. It is extremely user friendly, the keypads not only look great, but functions like no other – with ease. Since then, there are a handful of updates and newer models to the Razr line, but until I have the few extra hundreds to spare, I don’t mind and continued using similar ones that I can get for free.
Although it is under the ‘weak’ T-Mobile GSM network, nevertheless, reception pull from this phone is still excellent. Not to pound on the carrier, but the original ‘aluminum silver cladded’ version that was given to me previously from Cingular Wireless (now at&t) was on a completely different level and the best Razr yet – it came readily ‘unlocked’ and the phone had an array of network options available should I plan on traveling internationally. The software version from my Silver Razr was and still up to par with today’s standards.
In comparison to the two, it is basically the same phone, but there are some additional differences (other than the obsolete VGA camera) compared to my silver version – for example, on this phone:
- There is video capture
- Updated shortcut, a quicker and faster way to “scroll to find names” on phonebook contacts.
- Multiple entries can display under ONE name in contact list.
- Press and ‘hold’ the # key to put phone in vibrate mode vice versa (uniquely, there is a small “phone vbrate” symbol on that key also)This phone could have easily gain 5 stars, but the carrier disabled most of the essentials and with the absent of a ‘metal’ battery door making this just a tad above other mediocre phones.

To be fair, I upgraded to the Razr from a Nokia 6101, so all my opinions are based on a comparison. In 3 words, there is none. This phone feels sturdier in my hand, is more user-friendly and has a louder earpiece than the Nokia. It comes with about 30 preset ringtones instead of Nokia’s 5 or so (each lamer than the last) so I won’t waste hours online trying to download a better one. The screen is larger and brighter, the battery cover is easier to remove, and the camera takes better pictures. What really bowled me over though was the text messaging program. Nokia has a “predictive” dictionary that nevertheless requires you to type out the whole word, and 5 times out of 10 “predicts” the wrong one. Moto’s dictionary predicts the word before you finish typing, giving the option to skip to the end, and even displays 5 or 6 other options at the bottom of the screen to choose from. Brilliant.
This phone has probably made me a Moto customer for life.
