Motorola RAZR V3c
Average Ratings
Razr V3c
I got the Motorola RAZR V3c for my birthday after we ended our contract with Verizon. I got the Charcoal Gray one with US Cellular. So Far It's Been Great.
Pros:
Thin & Sleek
Very Stylish Phone
Good Camera
Good Price(I'm not about to pay 300 dollars for a phone)
Cons:
Shiny keypad gets dirty at times
At times a little slow at loading pictures
Outter Screen gets fingerprints on it easily.
beautiful phone, not so beautiful functionality
okay, so i love my phone overall, but within the first month of purchase i had problems, and now, six months later, the problems are increasing...
cons:
1. i hate having text/picture messages left in my inbox/outbox so i'm constantly deleting them, however sometimes the pictures in my outbox WOULD NOT DELETE. PERIOD. i'd have to reset my entire phone, which meant i lost all pictures, notes in datebook, CONTACTS, everything. as you can imagine, this was time consuming and well... annoying.
2. camera is not good quality. at all.
3. earpiece and speakerphone are not loud enough.
4. yeah, boring ringtones.
5. my biggest problem with the phone is that after ending a call or sending a text, when i close my phone and then later reopen it IT'S FROZEN. it automatically turns itself off then a few seconds later is back on. WHY IT DOES THIS I DO NOT KNOW BUT IT IS AGGRAVATING!!!
pros:
1. you can lock individual applications, rather than locking your whole phone (which you actually can do if you wish) which is awesome for keeping nosey people OUT OF YOUR BUSINESS!
2. i love the shape, size, color, screen quality; i love the way this phone looks.
3. i've never had a problem with dropped calls or the battery not charging.
OVERALL:
i'd buy this phone if the small annoyances were tweaked. i think it needs a better camera, then it'd be more worth the hype and money. (well the money i spent, 6 months ago, which was $150.)
Razor is A Crazer
This phone is a good start in experiencing the best qualities a next-to-perfect phone can offer.
Pro's
-Camera & Video
-Picture & Text Messaging
-Clear Dialing and Voices
-Nice Personalization Options
-Long Battery Life
-Portable MP3 Player
-Picture and Ringer ID
-Internet Capable
Con's
-Personally, I just think the Razor is kind of bulky and big, uncomfortable to hold...but other than that it is a great phone!
extremely fragile
(metro pcs) The phone has great features but I have had 3 of the razr v3c's in one year!!! The screen is extremely fragile and 3 times in one year I have had to get a new one because the screen has gone and its not like I dropped it or anything.., thank goodness for having insurance!
Pros: No dropped calls whatsoever
very clear sound, very good pictures, no sluggishness, nice and comfortable phone
Cons: very fragile screen/phone, short talk time
Overall a cool phone but too fragile
I love this phone
I think this is probably one of the best phones I have ever had. A lot of people complain about battery life and breakage. My battery can last up to three days and I have thrown my phone open faces against a wall and it wouldn't break. I think this is a great phone. I love how much memory is has and how it looks. The only thing that I have found wrong with it so far is how quiet the speaker phone is. Other than that, I would recommend this phone to anyone.
Good phone if you like plain stuff
This phone is a good phone if you like plain things. it dosent do very much. if you want a razr that plays music and does other good stuff then your best off going with the new updated razr. i was too excited to get one and i said no no this one is fine even though they told me the had a new one comeing out in december but nooo stubborn me. but anyways. it does all the basic stuff you would want in a phone.
PROS
good text messaging
sleek figure
comes in assorted colors
outer screen has color
many wallpapers &back grounds
Has Screen savers
CONS
video clips are only about 10 sec. long
doesnt connect to many calls
menu icons look cheap
internet is slow
doesnt have a flash
pictures often come out grainy and blurry
no way to put pictures on computer
all in all this is an ok phone. like i said before its very plain so if you think you want to buy it think carefully before you do. i wouldnt recomend it.
Disappointed
Well, I have had this phone since about April, 2006. It's my second V3c, as my last one broke, while it was open, was dropped on a CARPET floor, and broke right in half.
I unfortunately have insurance or whatever at U.S. Cellular, so unless I wanted to pay 300+ on a new phone, I only had to pay 50 for a new Razr, which I was unhappy about. I want to go back to my old Nokia 2260, which was a lot better.
Pros:
*Metal Keypad and Backlit when it's too dark
*Good design
Cons:
*Only Digital Service, no Analog (so a lot of dropped calls)
*Camera cannot take pictures that are the same size as the screen so no wallpapers without making them look bad
*Talking on the speaker has bad quality
*No music player, like other razr's
*No SD card slot
*No standard games, have to purchase on easyedge
*No stopwatch
*Very few themes
All in all, it is a decent phone, but if you want entertainment on a cell phone, along with analog service, do not get this one. Even the Krzr (which I am not a big fan of) is a huge improvement over this.
Good phone over all
I have had this phone about a year and i like it yes it is slow downloading but i don't do much of that so it don't bother me. I is a great looking phone. I get great reception. If you just want a good looking phone to show off as a starter phone its perfect. Pros. Great looking, now at a fair price. durable, great display.
Cons. slow downloading.. no ring and vibe and mp mp3
But i like it.. Motorola did something right here with this one.
Wouldn't Recommend
Let me just start off by saying that I have had this phone replaced twice in LESS than a year.
My first phone was great for about 2 months and then the screens (inside and outside) went crazy. At first this wasn't too bad... I mean, how hard is it to turn your phone upside down to see who's calling you... (the screen was flipped)... But it eventually went completely blank and I couldn't see the inside or outside screen at all.
I guess by the time I got my second Razr, Motorola had fixed the screen issue. But this time, after about another 2 months, the battery would die in less than an hour after being fully charged. Turns out the battery was faulty (it had developed a gigantic bubble on the outside) and ended up messing up the software in the phone.
So... my wireless carrier gave me a new battery, "flashed" the phone (whatever that means), and handed it back to me. It worked for about a week before it started messing up again. This time it simply quit ringing. (Up until this point, about the only good thing about this phone was the reception quality in my area.) And about the only time it would ring is if I had the ringer turned off. Made perfect sense... everything was backwards again. Also, the phone quit telling me who was calling, even if their number was in my phone book.
I took the phone back... again... and my carrier gladly gave me another phone. I've only had this one for about a month, so I'll give it another month or so to see what kind of strange problem this one is going to have.
I might add that during this whole time, my wireless carrier was very helpful... After all, it's not their fault the phone sucks. Anyway, this phone has proved to a BIG waste of money. And what's worse is I have to deal with this piece of crap for another YEAR before I'm eligible for a cheaper upgrade.
Do NOT buy this phone. You'd be better off flushing your $100 down the toilet rather than spending it on a Razr. (It would be a whole lot less of a hassle.)
