Motorola RAZR V3c

now we wait for VZW

😕
I tried this phone on Cingular because it wasn't available on VZW yet- great phone except for one big design flaw. The speaker is placed such that when you are holding the phone in your hand, you are actually covering up the speaker! On almost ever other Moto I have owned going back over 10 years, the speaker is on the outside of the flip, not the base like it is on the Razr. As I use the speakerphone a lot, I had to return it because that 'feature' made it impossible to hear out of the speaker and hold the phone in my hand at the same time. Too bad, because otherwise it was a great phone.

With ALLTEL's price of $199 for a 2-year contract...

With TMobile's current promotion buy 1 get 1 free at a price of $199...

Verizon better be sure to price the V3c at no higher than $199...

This phone has been on the market long enough. In fact, the market is already flooded with them. It's not like were talking about the V60c when it first came out in '01 for $420. That was a different story, VZW was the first on the scene with the V60, last w/ the V3c...

So... VZW, if you are listening, do not expect me to pay north of $199 for the V3c - not worth it. In fact, consider locking customers into a 3 year contract at a price of $150.

Does it show the picture, or battery/signal bars and time? does it go completely dark, and is there any way to change the settings for how long it displays info or its lit up, either open or closed?

Has anyone heard anything about being able to buy this through Verizon online earlier than the corporate store release? thanks

I stated this before and I will say it again. Im right and you know who you are and you are WRONG to miss lead everyone. Got some V325's for sale $250 each. Production model. hmmmm.....is it released yet?....NO, but I have them!

I text message a lot! Does anyone have any experience,or, know how well the keypad on this phone works,ie.,ease of use,performs,etc. How about playing games on it also. I cannot wait for the V3c to be released!!

Coming soon message on website - Dec. 2
Internet Only offer Dec 7-11 ($199.99 after rebate)

If i want a bluetooth headset for this phone, can i buy one online? Cause im lookin to buy the H3 headset http://www.motorola.com/motoinfo/product/deta ils/0,,110,00.html

As always, Verizon will be disabling the OBEX file transfer ability on this unit.

Guys,

I have to tell you that the biggest issue I have with Moto Phones is when a E815 or V710 goes into Low Battery mode, it produces a horribly annoying Low Battery Chirp every few minutes and it can't be stopped.

This is a killer for most people that work or anyone who ever uses silent mode. It's unreal that when I spoke to Moto about this on the E815, they felt that was a good thing. I said to the guy (Who by the way was a product enginner for the E815) why does the person have to hear this over and over and over. After the first chirp, the person knows his battery is low. I asked him why when the phone is in SILENT mode why it does not stay silent and his answer was (Uhhhh) I don't know. This is the kind of stuff I can't deal with...

I noticed that Cingulars Razr's battery life lasts a lot longer than the Verizon's. What is the deal with that? Battery life could be a deal breaker for me on this phone...

I thought the new V3C had an upgraded memory slot (Mini-SD or Transflash. But I could've been wrong. Can anyone confirm if it will or if it wont have expandable memory ?

Alltel has just received them today.

Just my thought on the V3c. I'm sure about this but base on the two company differences and directions Verizon and Motorola the IU may not be the same for the V3c. There may be two IU. I have seen many sites that show the Verizon IU on the V3c but you have to keep in mind that this IU is controlled and produced for Verizon. If you look at Verizon's line up of new phones from LG and Samsung they all have this IU. This is the trend for Vzw for their entire future phone. If Alltel and U.S.Cellular are to pick up this phone like as stated in Phonescoope they would more likely to have the Motorola IU. This makes sense to me because it would require these carriers to pay Verizon if the Verizon version IU is used. An additional cost for the other ...

I have bad service in my house and the only survice that works in my house is Verizon. I have tried the Razor from T-Mobile and Cingular, and boy does that black make a difference. Although i did'nt get good reception I was going to keep the black one until I went to a bar and realized the earpeace volumn was allready maxed out. So I had to return it. Functionality and service are the most important factors for me. If you compare the pictures of the V3c to the v3 you will see there is an difference in the earpeace channal. Will the new Razor finally be heard in a loud environment.

Does anyone here know if the phone's speaker operates w/ it's flip down? I noticed w/ Verizon phones this does not seem to be the case.

But, why? I mean, hopefully this one would be the first.

Let me know. Thanks.

a place just for RAZR talk, OUTSTANDING

This phone does not have analog.

Considering Verizon and all other CDMA providers rely heavily on analog coverage I do believe this will be a mistake.
