You've probably seen the wildly popular Motorola RAZR V3 in someone's hand before. With the quad-band GSM RAZR V3i, Motorola has made it even better. The sexy design is still here, as is the all-metal construction. This time, though, the phone boasts an updated and streamlined design, enhanced video capture and playback capabilities, a 1.23-megapixel camera, and a hot-swappable MicroSD memory card slot.
Uniting the elegance and unique design of the Motorola V3i with the individual style and attitude of Dolce and Gabbana, the V3i DG exemplifies the ultimate in flip phone sophistication. Featuring the famous RAZR slim shape with an anodized aluminum gold finish, the V3i DG is the must-have T-Mobile device for those looking for a phone with bold style that doesn't sacrifice features. The V3i DG is also fully compatible with T-Mobile's My Faves service, which allows you to call up to five of your most common contacts--on any network--without using any of your minutes. Learn more about My Faves.
DesignAt .55 inches thick, the RAZR V3i is virtually the same thickness as the original RAZR. And like the original RAZR, the phone's design takes the standard clamshell form factor to the next level with an impressive, fully-anodized aluminum construction. A large 176 x 220 color display with 262,000 colors dominates the inside of the top cover. The outside cover of the handset sports a supplementary 96 x 80 full-color display that can display caller ID pictures, time, call information, battery and signal strength, and more. The 1.23-megapixel camera lens is housed above this display. Up/down buttons are placed on the left side for volume control.
Most of the phone's features and on-screen menus are controlled by a five-way center button on the handset's backlit control pad, which is precision cut from a single sheet of nickel-plated copper alloy. A mini-USB port is provided, which, while useful for fast data transfer, can also be used with compatible USB stereo headsets. Note that the phone does not have a standard 2.5mm headset jack.
And don't forget, Dolce and Gabbana, and Motorola wouldn't think of offering a phone without making available a special edition gold plated Motorola Bluetooth H700 Headset. Coordinate your phone and Bluetooth headset in style (sold separately).
Calling FeaturesThe RAZR V3i's internal phone book can hold up to 1000 contacts while the phone's picture ID system allows you to assign pictures to your most common callers. A number of ringtones come preloaded on the phone and more ringtones can be downloaded from T-Mobile's t-zones service. The phone also supports polyphonic ringtones as well as MP3 ringers, allowing you to use portions of your favorite songs to alert you to incoming calls. For times when you want to be discreet, there's a vibrating alert. A built-in speakerphone makes it easy to talk without having the phone to your ear while voice activated dialing makes calling your friends, family, and associates as easy as saying their names. Speaker-independent technology allows any speaker to dial numbers with the voice dialing system. And because the V3i DG is Bluetooth enabled, wireless headsets can be configured with the phone for total handsfree operation.
Messaging, Internet, and ToolsThe RAZR V3i is a messaging and wireless Internet powerhouse. Support is built in for sending and receiving pictures, text, graphics, sound and video via messages. When used in combination with the phone's built-in still and video camera, MMS opens up a whole new world of messaging fun (T-Mobile messaging charges apply). There's also a built-in web browser for t-zones downloads and mobile web browsing. T-Mobile's t-zones service lets you receive and send emails, read news headlines, get weather updates, download games and ringtones, and more. If you need email on the go, the V3i DG comes with an email client that supports IMAP, POP3, and SMTP email standards. iTap text entry, which is a technology that makes it easier for people to enter words and text on handsets, is built into the unit--a plus for mobile email and text messaging users. When used with a T-Mobile data plan and the phone's Bluetooth or USB data capability, the phone can be used as a wireless modem for laptops and PDAs.
A number of handy software tools are bundled with the V3i DG including a calculator with currency converter, a calendar and an alarm clock. The phone can also be used with Motorola's Mobile Phone Tools PC application to manage and synchronize contacts, calendar and other data with your PC.
Imaging and Entertainment The V3i DG's 1.23-megapixel camera bridges the gap between phones and quality digital cameras. The digital zoom-enabled camera includes a handy flash feature and is also designed to capture video. You can even print your shots on a Bluetooth-enabled printer. Embedded animated screensavers and full screen wallpapers are built-in so you can set up the V3i DG to suit your tastes. The phone supports games, as well as gaming connectivity via Bluetooth, while new games are available for download via the T-Mobile t-zones service.
Into bringing your music with you everywhere you go? With the V3i DG's hot-swappable MicroSD memory card slot, you can stylishly take all of your favorite music with you. Your music library is now limited only by how much memory you bring along.
Vital Statistics The Motorola RAZR V3i DG weighs 3.35 ounces and measures 3.86 x 2.10 x .55 inches. Its lithium-ion battery is rated at up to 5.17 hours of digital talk time, and up to 310 hours of digital standby time. It runs on the GSM/GPRS 850/900/1800/1900 frequencies. The phone comes with a one year limited warranty.

Motorola RAZR V3xx Gold Phone (AT&T, Phone Only, No Service) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I owned the original v3. It was fine but no video camera. I dropped it, got a newer version. It was even better. Now I have the V3xx. It is by far the best phone i have owned. The new 3G technology is great. The ease of use and the connectivity speed is awesome.
The only problem I have encountered. I cannot use the old batteries from my V3i. The same phone charger can be used on this phone.
I transfered pics taken from an old phone the nokia 3200, they look better on the V3xx. Memory capacity is greatly increased, the phone uses a micro sd card. Of course it is also an mp3 player. If you do not plan to use the new technolgy, just stick to your old phone. This is a great addition to the ATT family of products. And no I do not work for ATT, although I should.

Featuring the perfect blend of broadband-like speed, dynamic multimedia capabilities, and cutting-edge design, the MOTO RAZR V3xx is the first Motorola handset to ship with High-Speed Downlink Packet Access (HSDPA) and EDGE technology. The iconic RAZR design is still here, as is the all-metal construction, this time, though, the phone boasts an updated and streamlined design, enhanced media capabilities, a 1.3-megapixel camera, a hot-swappable MicroSD memory card slot, and more. Simply put, the V3xx is the perfect combination of performance and style, and the perfect complement to Cingular service.
Design At .58-inches thick, the RAZR V3xx is virtually the same thickness as the original RAZR. And like the original RAZR, the phone's design takes the standard clamshell form factor to the next level with an impressive, fully-anodized aluminum construction, and 60 MB of internal memory. A large 240 x 320 color display with over 262,000 colors dominates the inside of the top cover, while the outside cover of the handset sports a supplementary 96 x 80 full-color display that can display caller ID pictures, time, call information, battery and signal strength, and more. The integrated VGA and 1.3-megapixel digital camera is housed above this display. Use the VGA camera for live two-way video calls at up to 15 frames per second. Up/down buttons are placed on the left side for volume control, as well as the camera button and mini-USB port.
Most of the phone's features and on-screen menus are controlled by a five-way center button on the handset's backlit control pad, which is precision cut from a single sheet of nickel-plated copper alloy. A mini-USB port is provided, which, while useful for fast data transfer, can also be used with compatible USB stereo headsets. Note that the phone does not have a standard 2.5mm headset jack. Lastly, a charging port is placed on the bottom of the phone, and an unobtrusive internal antenna is safely tucked away, keeping the phone's design compact and portable.
Calling Features The RAZR V3xx's internal phone book can hold up to 1000 contacts while the phone's picture ID system allows you to assign pictures to your most common callers. The phone also supports polyphonic ringtones as well as MP3 ringers, allowing you to use portions of your favorite songs to alert you to incoming calls. For times when you want to be discreet, there's a vibrating alert. A built-in speakerphone makes it easy to talk without having the phone to your ear while voice activated dialing makes calling your friends, family, and associates as easy as saying their names. Speaker-independent technology allows any speaker to dial numbers with the voice dialing system. And because the RAZR V3xx is Bluetooth enabled, wireless headsets for calling, and even wireless stereo headsets for music can be configured with the phone for total handsfree operation.
Messaging, Internet, and Tools The RAZR V3xx is a messaging and wireless Internet powerhouse. With HSDPA and EDGE technology, the RAZR V3xx delivers broadband-like speeds for downloading, Web browsing, and data exchange. Leveraging these advanced capabilities, the RAZR V3xx allows for live two-way video calls at up to 15 frames per second, over the air music and video downloads, direct media streaming, and more.
Support is built in for sending and receiving pictures, text, graphics, sound, and video via messages. When used in combination with the phone's built-in still and video camera, MMS opens up a whole new world of messaging fun. And because UMTS and HSDPA support built right into the phone, you'll be streaming and downloading at speeds so fast your head will spin. Used in combination with one of Cingular's MEdia Max plans that supports Cingular Video (additional Cingular charges apply), the V3xx will allow you to play high-quality news clips, sports clips, weather clips, and more--right on your phone. And with Cingular's exclusive partnership with HBO Mobile and HBO Family Mobile, you'll never be at a loss for something good to watch.
There's also a built-in web browser for MEdia Net downloads and mobile Web browsing. Cingular's MEdia Net service lets you do more than just stream videos--it lets you receive and send emails, read news headlines, get weather updates, download games and ringtones, and more. iTap text entry, which is a technology that makes it easier for people to enter words and text on handsets, is built into the unit--a plus for mobile email and text messaging users.
Getting on the Internet is easy with the V3xx. When used with a Cingular data plan (not included) and the phone's Bluetooth or USB data capability, the phone can be used as a wireless modem for laptops and PDAs.
A number of handy software tools are bundled with the V3xx including a calculator with currency converter, a calendar, and an alarm clock. The phone can also be used with Motorola's Mobile Phone Tools PC application to manage and synchronize contacts, calendar, and other data with your PC. The phone also sports an airplane mode feature, which allows the user to safely use the non-wireless functions of a phone (such as music, games, or organizer functions) on an airplane during flight.
Imaging and Entertainment The RAZR V3xx's integrated 1.3-megapixel camera and VGA video camera bridge the gap between phones and quality digital cameras. Animated screensavers and full screen wallpapers are supported too, so you can set up the RAZR V3xx to suit your tastes. Lastly, the phone supports java-based games and applications.
The RAZR V3xx is a serious music phone. When the feeling strikes you, jam out to your favorite music on the unit's advanced MP3 player. The phone sports a microSD/TransFlash memory card slot, so you can load up all your favorite music and bring it with you (memory cards sold separately). And because the phone supports MobiTV and MobiRadio, in addition to streaming video and TV, you can listen to your favorite radio station via the supported digital radio service--great for times when you feel like listening to new music (additional Cingular charges apply).

Motorola MOTORAZR V3m - Cellular phone with digital camera / digital player - Sprint Nextel - CDMA2000 1X - maroon Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Overall I am happy with the Red Razr that I gifted to my wife on Valentine's day. On the outside, it is the same as the black/grey Razr offered by Sprint and comes with the same features/shortcomings.
Positives:
- Gorgeous looking. The online pictures dont do justice to how the phone actually looks
- Decent 1.3 Megapixel camera
- Excellent call quality
- Good reception. The phone has been able to retain a good signal in areas where my previous Sprint cell phone would loose connection.
- Good and easy to use interface.
Negatives:
- Very very slow menus. Phone reacts a second or two after you hit the key.
- The microSD card is almost impossible to remove after you put it in. Required a pair of tweezers to pull mine out. I searched online - and looks like it is a common problem for the V3m(where as the V3c's dont have this issue).
- This being a brand new phone from Sprint - the latest version of Motorola Phone Tools(MPT) failed to recognize it. MPT continued to refuse to recognize it even after it downloaded the "latest" list of phones from the bvrp website. However installing Sprint PCS Business Connection software(allows u to use the phone as a modem) - installed the required drivers on my machine. I was then able to manually add(note: automatic detection still failed, despite driver being installed) the phone to MPT.
