Motorola RAZR V3 Prepaid Phone (T-Mobile) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I just received this phone about 5 days ago and it's everything I hoped it would be. I was delighted that a prepaid phone could be this nice. It's sleek and feels good in my hand. I had a T-mobile Motorola V195 prepaid phone before receiving this one, so I just pulled the SIM card from my old phone and placed it in this one and called T-Mobile to register this phone with my account. The camera works great! The sound is clear and the screen is very large and colorful. I am so glad I bought this phone. Just beautiful!
