User Reviews for Motorola Razr V3M Cell Phone

  • Reviewed by: cvn74rmo

    Duration of ownership:

    Strengths: Bluetooth sync/hands-free, customizable ringer caller ID and caller ID Picture. Speaker phone is loud. Custom alarms.

    Weaknesses: Camera lens is exposed on outside, outer LCD is exposed. No standard headphone jack

    Overall Evaluation: I got a great deal (free and $50 rebate) with Sprint 2-yr service. No problems with their software setup or signal strength. The navigation is intuitive and can be easily customized to suit personal tastes. Texting is good although but no QWERTY keys like a PDA. The phone has options to add contacts, photos (for Caller ID), calculator, video, MP3's for play or ring tones & a calendar. miniSD expandable (It came with a 128MB Card, and SD adapter).

    Duration of ownership:

    Strengths: popular model, so accessories are plentiful, speakerphone is loud

    Weaknesses: you need to remove the battery cover and battery to gain access to the memory card

    Overall Evaluation: A decent phone that's great for someone looking for a slim CDMA phone with expandable memory, mp3/mpeg4 playback, and Navigation. It's a nice-looking, widely supported device with solid sound quality.
