Motorola RAZR V3
V3 is a waste of money
my post, my point of view. and if it was that pointless, what do you call your response????
...
It's pointless to trash this phone here. I can't stand the elitist following it's gathered either, but in reality it boils down to one principle:
If people really like it, and really want it, they'll pay almost anything to get it.
Yes, the phone costs more than it's worth. Yes, there are more full-featured phones out there to choose from at better prices. But the bottom line is that the people of America have come to the point where they believe that only the best will do. This belief spurns the idea that they must procure the best at any cost. The people who bought, or are planning to buy the Razr believe it's the best phone they can buy, whether it be for looks, functionality, or the sheer ability to say "I've got enough mon...

Didn't I just say that you got it because for whatever reason YOU thought it was the best? Cause ya know I could swear that that's exactly what I said.
Ya know what I call more full featured? EDGE, More integrated BT, Megapixel resolutions, better operating systems, mulitple IM and e-mail clients. And yes, there ARE more full-featured phones out there. Some are for less money, and some are not.
As for my jaded opinions, they're mine, I like em, and I never said you had to agree with them. And no you're not cool because you tried to slap down what was meant to be a well intentioned post.

The ONLY feature you mention that PERTAINS TO A PHONE is BT. It would be interesting to know what you mean by "More integrated BT" as the long-range BT that is implemented in the V3 works well.
All the other "features" you mention are just fluff. If those are important to you, get a PDA, you're not interested in a phone...
...
I fail to see how a better operating system is fluff. MP3 ringtones, color screens, laser-cut keypads are fluff as far as I'm concerned. As for BT being the only feature that pertains to a phone, if you'll recall BT has more functionality as a data tool than for phone use. Really the only thing you can do with BT pertaining to a phone is link with a headset for handsfree use.
What I mean by more integrated is better implementation. On the V3's I've played with I have yet to find any listing other than handsfree device. I can't for the life of me find the OBEX, Dialup, imaging, or synchronization profiles. Some of which I'm sure are there. It just doesn't seem that it's integrated into the phone very well from a standpoint of actual...

I have the V3 and in addition to using the wireless headset feature you can also send MP3 ringtones and video to the headset as well as sync contacts and calendars. I also use the V3 as a wireless modem when I travel and as a fax machine when I am at work.
One really cool thing is that when somebody calls my V3, their name, number and photo pop up on my desktop scre...

Sorry, that sounds more like you're reading an ad card than actually speaking from experience. I have to call you out on this one. I've got 4 V3's in my stock room at the moment and I'm willing to pull one out and attempt to sync with my t637 or send a picture file or anything. Just tell me where you find the commands to do such things. I've looked in every place I can think of and some I didn't think about initially.
I'm a "believe it when I see it guy" and I haven't been able to see it yet.

I don't know spit about the tech side of cell phones and I successfully OBEXed an MP3 file - (I Can't Get No) Satisfaction - that I created off a CD to use as a ring tone after pairing with my laptop.
Afraid I can't let you "see it," but I can let you hear it - ready?

Ok, seriously, let's all be a$$es about everything. I wasn't being sarcastic, just seeking knowledge. That IS what these forums are for is it not?
I use a Sony Ericsson...MUCH better implementation of BT. There are different commands in different OS's (for example when using my t637 to view a pic I get a "send" option right on the screen instead of menu diving for it) so forgive me if I didn't pick up on Moto's roundabout way of doing things right away.
But here's an interesting question I've come up with. Using my SE phone I queried the RAZR regarding the phone's available BT services (profiles available). I only recieved "Headset" "File Exchange" and "Object Push" Where are the rest of the profiles? Are they hi...

I'm trying to remember the tenor of your past posts, but I don't recall their being as insulting as this one. I don't think ANYONE in this forum (at least not the "regulars") has come across as "elitist," so stop with the class warfare stuff. This isn't a "Tale of Two Cities."
And PLEASE don't pretend to know why I, or anyone else, bought this phone. Your 2 cents is only worth even that if you represent your OWN reasons. Trying to project your feelings onto the "people of America" makes your post as worthless as the one that it was in response to.

Quite a few of the people here (regular or not) have popped out quotes like: "I only buy the best, and THIS is the best", I remember one specifically that reads "I only fly first class, unless there is something better". To me that sounds a bit elitist, and I don't hear it in ANY of the other forums. People are taking a "quit whining about the price" attitude. For the most part I'm with them, don't whine about the price if you're not willing to pay it, just say "that's too much for me" and move on with life.
As for trying to project my feelings...Bull! The reasons any of us get the phones that we do are because we feel that they are the best for us based on things like what we prefer and what we can afford. The reason I got my t637 ...

Granted not on this forum, but my post, as well as the "elitist following" comment was not necessarily directed only at the people here. In my store I have heard reasons that run the gamut from "I really just think it's hot" to "I got a huge x-mas bonus and I wanna treat myself" to a friend of mine saying something like "people know it's expensive, so what will they think when they see you carrying it?".

"the only people that have actually come in and bought them are either snobs or businessmen who could write it off or get their company to pay for it."
That's what is known as a "sweeping generalization." It is your opinion, and you are entitled to it. But it also is insulting (again) to the non-snobs and non-writer-offers that you are throwing under the bus with them.

Now that's not a statement of opinion. IN MY STORE the only ones who've actually come in and bought the V3 are either very snobbish or were business people who got thier companies to pay or wrote them off as business expenses. I'm the only rep in my store that has managed to sell any V3's and I swiped the corporate credit cards myself. That wasn't meant to be a sweeping generalization as you call it. I thought I was being clear that I mean IN MY STORE the only ones who've come in and bought them were either snobs or businessmen who could basically skip out on paying.
...
You're making the false assumption that we - or at least I - knew you were a rep - I didn't! 🙂 The context you added (IN MY STORE) isn't a logical leap without knowing that about you.
Now that you've clarified, how many people have you sold phones to - 3? 30? 300? And what makes some of them "snobs," which is absolutely subjective, not at all factually-based.
I'm not gonna go back and forth on this all day - you're in a V3 forum calling at least a portion of the customer base "snobbish" "elitists" and expecting what are, candidly, inflammatory statements to be received in a neutral fashion. Your "facts" are clouded by personal judgment about the phone and the people that buy them. If you can't see that, well, there's not much more t...

you have to admit, it's the lexus of cell phones right now, that's certainly gonna appeal to the snobbish part of society. Maybe the folks that I found to be snobbish aren't in fact that bad, but personally I found most to be rather rude, impatient, and arrogant when dealing with getting their phones (my store sells the v3 on a special order basis since they're so expensive we don't wanna incur the cost and then be stuck with a phone that's hard to sell in our area). It may be a personal judgement, but it's also my current experience with the customer base for this phone in my area.
Other than that, I'm glad you enjoy your v3, all the customers I've sold them to have come back saying that they love it. You seem to have misunderstood me...

Let's say I go to my local Cingular store, which of course is in the mall or some other high traffic area where the "average cell phone customer" can easily get to. I have to wait forever while people argue about their bill (which we both know they shouldn't do at the retail level) or buy their $20 prepaid phone card or can't decide between the free LG or the Nokia or need you to show them how to add "cool" ringtones because they didn't RTFM.
So, maybe I've waited 1+ hours to sign a 2 year agreement and buy a $500 phone. I came in knowing EXACTLY what I wanted only to find out you don't stock it because the demographics of your area are so shytty (which probably aren't representative o...

First off, I'm an agent so we don't deal with billing at all. Someone coming here to argue their bill will be sent somewhere that CAN help them. As for CS issues, unless they're short things like adding features or helping a customer understand something about their phone we don't do it.
Now with that said let's see how a V3 sale goes here. You, the Customer, walk in VERY interested in the V3. I accompany you to the display and we converse a bit about the phone, why you like it, what you want in a phone, features, etc. All the while answering any questions you may have. I WILL NOT attempt to disuade you by telling you how bad the v600 was because frankly while this ha...

I think what HAND was trying to say is, the V3 is a waste of "his" money. Hey HAND ... one question: Last name OUT?
...
Not so. I consider this the Star-Tac of the 21st Century. This is a great phone that feels solid, performs very well. I don't care about taking videos or an MP3 player. I really could do without the camera to be honest (it is better than the V710 camera). I want a phone to make and receive phone calls, have computer access through cable & bluetooth (both of these work well) and will hold up to everyday use. This phone does it all. Expensive, well that is the bain of new tech. You have to look at the technology that went into this phone. The level of miniaturization is amazing and set the benchmark for all of the other manufactures. Look for the others to try and copy this. I also see this as a line of phones that will be expanded. Moto has a...

Your post is a waste of time and energy, posted to illicit responses that are not needed. This is a V3 forum, so what did you expect about the poeple who come here?
My personal opinion is that HAND can't afford one, and therefore no matter what his response, the truth is he doesn't have one and would rather make everyone here feel like defending themselves about the phone.
We could replace HAND with an unwired toggle switch, one that does nothing when flipped.

As someone pointed out last week, it's called trolling - going to an enthusiast site and posting a contrary message to see what kind of dust they can kick up.
Having fun, Mr. HAND? Three days before Christmas, and this is what you do for merriment?
FWIW, the target market for the RAZR isn't concerned with spending an extra $100 - $200 for something that meets their needs. For me, the thinness of the phone increases its portability, and therefore its utility to me by FAR mere than the additional cost, so I consider $500 a steal!
And while I didn't care if it had a camera or not, now that i have it I'm taking pictures all the time. Like when my kid was on Santa's lap in the mall last night.
See, THAT's what the Christmas season is...

look guys, this was seriously just my opinion. i didnt realize that this was such a touchy subject for some of you. im glad to know that there are those who really like this phone and dont care about paying any amount for the phone. every one of my stores has cingular in it and everyone carries the v3. i thought a forum was a place for someone to express his opinion and that what that was, my opinion. i in no way was trashing the quality of the phone, i think its way overpriced...thats all! my apologies to those who dont like to hear an opinion other then theirs 🙄

You didn't offer an opinion, you did a "drive by." Had you offered up some reasons WHY you felt it was overpriced, people would have reacted, but it wouldn't have been as "personalized." We didn't do that, you did THAT to yourself.

I have to agree with BBS, you did not offer an opinion, backed up with your reasons for disliking it, you simply trolled the forum.
As evidence I point out there have been previous posts made about a dislike for the V3, which have sparked good discussions on the pros and cons of the phone.

I agree....
it's overpriced but I wouldn't say waste of money.
I have a love/hate relationship with both Moto and Cingular so I understand the sentiment, however, to be fair...
The V3 is a really cool phone but Moto should be pricing it a bit lower to reach a larger segment of the available market. One of the intangibles/hard to calculate variables in any business is good will or in this case lost good will. Moto could have/should have earned good will by putting a great performing, nice looking phone in the market to help make up for many of their prior blunders.
Happy Holidays to all and I hope you can avoid the Reindeer poop hand 😛

"Moto should be pricing it a bit lower to reach a larger segment of the available market."
Suppose the tooling is so expensive that they can't reach breakeven and are losing $$ on every one and therefore they don't WANT to reach a larger segment, and at a lower price point they would lose even more? How many "MPJ8s" are out there that they need to repair goodwill with (caution: rhetorical question that can't be quantified)? Isn't it good enough that they made a great phone for a limited market? Maybe they have a follow-up phone for the "masses" that will utilize the technology debuted in the V3, sort of like what Daimler is doing with Mercedes and Chrysler?
Seems like you're quick to assign blame without benefit of all of the facts. :...

ummmmmmmmmmm..........
yep.
except they aren't losing on tooling or piece part cost or r&d spend or marketing and promotional dollars. In fact, they implemented their TV ads after the initial launch seeking and getting a budget after the initial financials were done. The Moto leaders didn't have to beg for $$$ to save the phone.. trust me.
I think they have lost good will via the Mpx220, V600 and others.
I hope they are using the V3 platform to drive efficiencies and push less expensive phones into the market.
I am probably overly sensitive because I know some Moto insiders and had horrible experiences with the mpx220.
Cheers and you and your kid(s) will love the walkie talkies.

So I guess that any company that "blunders" in a product presentation, now has to give back? I thought that communism was dead? NEWS FLASH... Motorola is NOT a non-profit company. They have stockholders (probably a stock in your retirement account) to report to.

Are you baked?
As someone who lives within 5 miles of the world headquarters for Moto, someone who knows several hundred Moto employees, someone who owns Moto stock and finally, someone who owns only Moto phones......
My point was and is that Moto f'd up their pricing strategy. Separately, they REALLY f'd up the introduction of two important phones... the V600 and the Mpx220.
All I am saying is that if Moto had taken a different approach to the pricing and promotion of the V3 they may have generated so much more goodwill and positive brand awareness that they could have ridden that success for years. Putting the V3 at a rather exclusionary pricepoint right after major mainstream phone failures is a mistake in my opinion.

I have to agree with you on a certain part of what you just said. Moto screwed up the marketing of this phone...as did Cingular. They produced it and set it at a very exclusionary price point (keep in mind the volume of cust's that want FREE phones). Then like idiots they hit the mainstream market with a flood of promotion. There's the commercials, the internet ads, the magazine promos, the POP material in the store. This gives the impression that it's available to anyone. Of course everyone expects to have to pay for it, I mean it's the first phone we've seen of its kind, but when people think that they're gonna have to pay, they think anywhere from $199-$350.
