Motorola RAZR V3c User Reviews |

The Motorola Razr is a mixed bag. I waited for it to come out, like many people, but ended up exchanging it for another phone. Here's my impression of it, skipping stuff that it has in common with most other phones:
The Good
- Great physical design (which is why most everyone wants one): thin and light. I could easily carry it in my pocket, which just plain rocks.
- Great inside screen (for a cell phone)
- Keypad is nice: tactile feedback and it worked much better than I expected. Some people don't care for it, but I dug it.
- Good reception, even without an external antenna.
The Bad
- Delicate. Due to its thinness, it isn't as tough as a bigger "tank phone" like the e815. Don't drop it on hard surfaces. Really, don't!
- Not loud enough. You have to get the earpiece speaker just right over your ear, or you can't hear the other person well enough.
- Very poor battery life. The battery is only 750mAh (another limit from that thinness), and I only got 80 minutes talk time, with bluetooth off. This was a deal-breaker for me. My VX4400 gets 2 1/2+ hours with a 1000mAh battery.
- That nice screen and keypad are fingerprint & smudge magnets.
Conclusion
If you value smallness or coolness (or slick technical design) this might be the phone for you. Verizon just doesn't carry full-featured phones that are small or light, except for this one. However, if you want a phone that works well as a phone and want more than minimal battery life, this isn't a good phone for you.

i have a cingular V3 that i bought from amazon.com and have been rather pleased with it. i'll break it down for you:
the good:
AMAZING reception. i live in a stone house. FM and XM signals don't penetrate my walls. most people who visit my house have problems with phone reception. my phone, however, works almost anywhere in my house without as much as a hint of static.
awesome features i have a bluetooth card on my desktop computer. i use creative wave editor to make my audio files smaller (and mono format) and transfer them straight to my phone. i swap pics back and forth to my phone on a regular basis. my netgear bluetooth adapter is the best phone accessory i ever purchased.
the speakerphone function is wonderful. my last phone lacked this. i am also really happy with the calander function included on the phone. i reprogrammed my home-screen keys so the calander is a one-touch feature, and i use it daily.
good camera now don't get me wrong, i bought a phone, not a camera. the camera has no flash and no optical zoom. the resolution is 1.3 Mpxl, which is rather good for a phone, and considering the size of the phone. i use the camera frequently, despite the fact i own a seperate digital camera. the beauty of the phone's camera is pure convenience.
battery life this feature was the most surprising. i figured with a bluetooth antenna, two screens, camera, speakerphone, mp3 ringtones, and all the rest, this phone would have a crappy battery life. i was plesantly surprised. the battery lasts about 2-4 days with normal use. my bluetooth antenna is always on, and i use the camera a decent ammount. there is a noticeable drop in batery when using the camera for a longer time, though.
nice design i get lots of people asking to see my phone. everyone wants a razr. the slim design was key in my purchase: a) i wanted to be cool. b) i wanted a phone that would fit in my pocket without looking like i had a tumor on my leg. the phone is easy to slide into a pocket and looks awesome: what more do you really need in a phone?
blackberry-style plug the power adapter is conveniently a USB-mini-b adapter. you can buy the cable at any office supply store and charge your phone from your computer. you can use any blackberry charger as well. this feature should become universal on all phones. just think: one charger for any and all phones!
the bad:
i have dropped this phone a few times, usually from waist height. so far, there are no problems with the working of the phone, though a few scars to prove it gets used. i do fear that the next time i won't be so lucky.
the screen is ALWAYS dirty. moreover, there are tiny scratches where the dirt on the keypad rubs with the dirt on the screen. i take care of my phone and clean it regularly with a lense cloth, but it doesn't seem to matter.
occasional freeze-ups. sometimes it just refuses to work. either a call will come in and it takes about 5 seconds to answer after being opened, or the screen will go white while i have the phone sitting out. i don't know what triggers this, only that it happens.
leaky antenna. every time i set the phone anywhere near a speaker, i get occasional noise. if the phone rings, the noise increases sharply right before the call is recieved. the phone also interfeers with my bluetooth keyboard and mouse on my computer. occasionally, the mouse will spaz-out, jumping around the screen. the keyboard sometimes doubles up on letters as i type. this only happens when my phone is within a foot of my keyboard or mouse (which is often since i keep my phone in my pocket and set the keybarod on my lap) or if the phone is directly between the keyboard and computer.
my one wish to better this phone would be the addition of a SD card slot. expandable memory would be awesome! the memory is fine on the RAZR, but bigger is always better. my phone has roughly 50 pictures, 10 full MP3 songs in mono format at low bit rate, and 150 phone book entries. the memory is almost full.
overall, i am really happy with my phone. my next phone, when this one dies or i switch plans, will likely be another RAZR, else the new moto SLVR, which draws its design from the razr without the flip capability.

Like the phone, have two of them, but the battery is garbage. 10-12 hours of limited use and low battery is flashing and sounding.
This is a problem echoed all over the internet. It looks like 50/50 bad or good, and that indicates a definite problem with the product; either in design/manufacture or both.
If it cannot be the communications device it is intended to be, because of inconsistent power supply, who needs all of the extras.
Fix the battery and I like the phone.
I will probably return them within the 15 day grace period. I need a phone you can talk on.

I can't understand why there are so many negative posts about this phone. I can't be more pleased with mine. I must state that I have mine through Alltel though, which might be why.
Pros:
1: Great reception. It works where other phones haven't.
2: Exceptional battery life. I haven't even come close to running the battery dead.
3: Speech recognition is supperb. I have only had to train ONE entry in my phone book. It recognizes every entry as well (92 at present and still counting.
4: Bluetooth works without a hitch. Connects to my laptop via USB cable or Bluetooth using Motorola Phone Tools with ease. Can connect the laptop to the internet, transfer pics, sound, and audio files with ease.
5: Durable. I dropped mine several feet onto concrete, blacktop, and hard tile floors numerous times and like an old Timex watch, it takes a lickin' and keeps on tickin'.
6: Extraordinary sound quality. Absolutely NO problems hearing people (except for those folks who insist on using a crappy phone on their end and can barely be heard on ANY other phone).
7: Camera.The camera works quite well for a cell phone, both in still and video mode (something my soon to be son-in-law has never been able to get working on his Cingular V3 I might add). While the cquality will never rival an actual camera, it's more than adequate for quick snapshots and vid caps of unexpected moments (which is all that it's intended for anyway).
Cons:
1: Battery Charging via USB cable. The only problem that I have found so far is that when the phone is connect to a computer by USB cable, it is always charging the battery. Not a problem if you're only connected for a short time, but after an extended time the battery gets EXTREMELY hot, making me wonder if it is being severely overcharged shortening it's life. I haven't found a setting in phone tools to regulate the charging so I'll have to live with it. I hope that I don't run into a problem down the line.
To sum it up, it's the best cell phone I've yet owned and Alltel is the best carrier around (at least where I live in the Frozen Tundra of Wisconsin). Of course, your mileage may vary, especially with another carrier (like the big V)

I must have done something right or I did something wrong because I had no problem transferring pictures or MP3s from my Bluetooth iPAQ to the V3c phone. In fact I use transferred files as my wallpaper and ring tone. I simply created a partnership between the two and sent files via Bluetooth. It worked flawlessly. Once you are tired of that ring tone, you can delete it and transfer another. Now I know the next thing that will be asked is 'Are you on Verizon?' Yes I am on Verizon and I bought the phone through them as well so like I said I either did something right or something wrong but it works. I recommend the Motorola HS850 headset with the phone as well. I purchased four different headsets and the HS850 is the best for clarity, functions and use. It is a little small for my big head but it works great. Thanks for reading, hope this helps someone. I know I used hundreds of these forums to decide what I wanted to purchase.

After waiting for oh so long for the Razr to come to Verizon (I even thought about going to Cingular just to get one)...I am thrilled with this phone!
It just feels great in the hand, sounds great to my ears...and I sound great on the other end of the line.
The speakerphone is excellent. The form and function is just awesome.
The only drawback I've been able to find is there is no Vibrate/Ring dual function...it's either one or the other.
The camera is very good. I do agree with others who remind everyone if you were trying to get this phone to be primarily a camera, you are barking up the wrong tree. It's great for snapshots, and that's all I need a phone on a camera to do. I have a very good digital camera for my important photos.
And...I love the fact that I can not only use the Bluetooth for headsets, but I can also transfer files!! How great is that! FINALLY, Verizon has "loosened" their choke hold on Bluetooth functions.
I would HIGHLY recommend this phone. Way to go MOTO...and Verizon!

This phone is wonderful but not perfect. It works great as a phone and obviously looks great! But for me I want it to work good as a phone and have some cool features. The tools are Calendar, Alarm Clock, World Clock, Notepad, and Calculator.  The Wallpaper choices are geat and the ringtones are good. The camera is mainly good for taking random pictures, not camera quality pictures. But hey, if you want a good camera go but yourself a Kodak Easy Share or something. The phone is a bit confusing but thats me.  Some people are saying reception is bad which is not true ( verizon ). Vibrate is a bit weak but the phone is very loud when it rings and speaker is great. I love the phone but Motorola missed the mark.
~Pros~
Looks Great!
Great Reception.
Loud Ringtones
Good Graphics
Big, Bright Screen
~Cons~
Weak Vibrate
Missing Features
Camera - No Flash
I recommend this phone to anyone who wants a phone that looks great and works even better, with the exeption of everything on the Cons List.

A terrible phone! As long as you only want a phone that looks neat this is the phone for you. My Bluetooth headset is nothing but static. I’ve tried several headsets with my Razr and they are not compatible. I thought a Motorola Bluetooth headset would work nicely with my Motorola Razr. I guess that only works on paper. In the real world after 3 headsets I was told that the compatibility isn’t very good between the two products. Never mind that they’re both Motorola products. Let me tell the brilliant guys in the Motorola think tank, “Great idea!”
So two weeks after I got my replacement Razr I was dropping incoming calls before I could answer the phone. It would either hang up when I’d answer or it would send them right to voice mail. Upon review at the Motorola Lab they found a tiny piece inside the phone that had corroded. They I was informed this was from user damage. They couldn’t tell me how it happened but told me it could be from leaving the phone in my car or taking it from cold to warm temperatures too quickly. So how is this my fault? Sounds to me like it’s not abuse but simply using my cell phone and having it with me. She said it falls under user abuse. What abuse? She couldn’t answer that seemingly brain bending question.
The Motorola Razr is a great phone if you only want to impress your friends with your phone. Don’t count on it lasting for longer than 2 months or being very reliable. I’ve had two of them in the last 6 months. 2.5 of those months the phones were in the tech labs being fixed or analyzed. Save yourself the trouble. By an LG and stay away from the crap Motorola is putting out for cell phones.

I have had my razr for a little over 2 months now, and i am starting to see all of the defects it has. One week after i got it, i had it in my pocket and brushed it up against a wooden desk i was walking by. I am a big guy, but i dont weigh 300 pounds. I took the phone out of my pocket and the outer LCD was destroyed and the glass was shattered. Looks like they designed this phone to have the same structural integrity as a saltine. I managed to get by now with duct tape...which kind of throws out the only good thing about the phone: the looks. I have had 2 phones before this one, and neither of them had any systematic problems. This phone is VERY slow at tasks that should not take very long (I want to be at the menu ).now not in 7 seconds). The loudest ringer isnt very loud, and what happened to the ring&vibrate option? This is the only phone i regret buying, and i am not very hard to satisfy

After having used an LG 4100 for two years (and it was a fine phone) and seeing others with their cool RAZR phones, I eagerly waited for Verizon to come out their version. I received mine several weeks ago and must say I'm very satisfied and pleased with the RAZR V3c. I guess I'm not an advanced 'power' user, just an average user who wants a reliable, cool phone. The phone works great! I've read the comments on the "crippled" Bluetooth, but for what I use Bluetooth for (wireless headset), it works just fine. The screen is nice, the sound is clear and crisp. I highly recommend it to any Verizon customer considering upgrading their phone.

I have had my Razor for a couple of months now and it is by far the best phone I have ever had. Its best feature has to be the fact that it is set into digital mode only! Your battery last forever! The keypad is very nice and easy to use, and the LCD is very bright. I have not had any problems with it. Deffently worth the price and wait!

As soon as I found out that Alltel was offerring a newer version of the RAZRs, I knew I had to have one.
So far I am enjoying the features of my new phone. I especially like the voice recognition feature which my old phones had BUT you had to go through so much to get it to work, I like the fact that you press one button and PRESTO....
So far I haven't dropped my phone like I have done with my other older phones, and when that day comes, I will be here talking about it and the result(s)...
Clearer and better (that's just from my experience) reception, great speaker, nice LCD screen and gotta love the keypad and it's lighting features.
My complaint for it at the moment is....why does it not come with the darn leather case....sheesh, I paid that much for the phone, the least they can do is throw in the darn pouch.

Just bought 2 new razr's, one for me and one for my wife (pink one).
Pros:
Looks, design, keypad,style.
Cons:
EVERYTHING!!!!
Failure to connect when making calls
Failure to send and recieve text/pix messages
When calls do connect they take 35sec to over 1min.35 sec
Battery life extremely poor
Phone very delicate/fragile
Constant dropped calls/feedback/echos/poor reception
Screen/keypad gets very smudgey
Highly reconmend to stay away from this phone!!!!
Returned both and upgraded to the LG8100 and love it!!!!!!!!
Verizon reps expected to see me back for an exchange within 2 days!!!!
Razr v3c is the best looking and designed phone on the market, it is also
a complete wastes of time and money, would not reconmend this phone to anybody!!!

It sounds like the people that are complaining about this phone are all from the same carrier (Cingular) . I would take that as a hint to jump on the bandwagon and port your number elsewhere. Don't be mad at the phone for your carriers decsion to buy the less expensive version. If you drop your phone you should be mad at yourself not the Razr! If you want a leather case go buy one. Take it from someone that has been a customer and employee of these providers, they pay alot of $ for the phones and that means the cost has to get passed onto us as the consumer, or we all will be using some crappy company b/c the big ones would go out of business. The battery life on this phone is far superb to other models, I had the v710 previously and that was a battery hog, even using the BT this phone can last for a few days without needing a charge. Alltel's version is working just fine, and does have some of those features that you Cingular people are complaining that you don't have. Take the hint.

It is OK only
I got two V3c last Nov and still trying to figure out on this site if I need to play and tweak inside it.
I live in rural Central Texas and have tried most of the major providers. I travel a lot to east and west coasts.
The only place I find with little signal strength to carry on a phone call is inside my local VFW (metal building) far from any towers.
This phone never skips a beat anywhere else including inside big city elevators where all my other brand phones would loose signal.
My only gripe was the cost $199 per phone with a 2 yr contract and an extra $79 each for two BT ear sets.
Not sure why all the interest to get more memory space mine has Free 36,209Kb, Used 4,945Kb, and Total 41,154Kb listed in Free space under Media Gallery.... isn't 41 thousand Kilobytes the same as 41 Megabytes?
Also don't understand the issue with voice recognition... I never trained my phone a thing and constantly have to argue with "her" over who it is I want to call or answer.
The speaker phone is just OK but agree that the ear volume in private mode is way too low a volume to use in any noisy areas. Ring tones are good n loud though.
Both of mine came with a leather case, car charger cord and wall charger cord, but not the cable and software. I got the cable and software for $39.99 from moto on line.
Don't understand why this site has so little info on the Alltel Branded RazrV3c versions. My Bluetooth will transfer some file formats but not others. I want to increase the ear speaker volume, I want to see if I can get a brighter backlight setting for outdoor use.
But to tell the truth, as it is, it is an OK phone... I suspect Alltel ganked us on the cost of it...but that's what you get when you gots to have the newest toyz

Like all Verizon's Bluetooth phones, this one has had its Bluetooth capabilities artificially and maliciously crippled, leaving you with only the hands-free profile for wireless headset use. Want to pair it with your PDA or PC? Zap pictures or MP3s back and forth? Sorry, you're forced to use Verizon's MMS service and get dinged 25 cents for sending your own pictures to yourself.
I own a v710 (their first BT phone) and will be returning it for a full refund and cancellation of my contract, as per the class action settlement. I will never again buy a Verizon phone due to their hostile anti-consumer behavior and blatant contempt for their customer base.

I just got my pink Razr V3C on Verizon network a few days ago!!! I have been wanting one since they were released. The store only had 2 of the pink ones left and the call center didn't have any pink ones and said they would not be getting anymore bc they were a limited addition. They are a really popular phone!! I added a line to my plan for my husband and he let me get the pink razr for myself and he took my old phone which is an Lg 8100 (in perfect condition) which is also a good phone. I only paid $129.99 for the phone after a $50 rebate. I also purchased the accessery kit that included a pink bluetooth headset($69.99), a car charger($29.99) and a case of my choice($24.99) all for only $79.99. I thought it was an incrediable deal for everything that was included. Anyway, I haven't had it long but I do love it so far!! I love the look and the features. It is got all the features I need. It all depends on what you need it for. I love the wallpapers and ringtones and the bluetooth. It has all the features I would need. I really like the reception of the phone. I think one of the things I like most about it is the size and the design of it. It is a very cool phone! The only complaint I have as of now is the battery life. I do not have the bluetooth turned on and it doesn't have half the battery life as my Lg 8100. I think I had the extended battery with the 8100 and I was wondering if they sold an extended battery for the Razr. I will look on the verizon site alittle later for that. I am very happy with my purchase and would recommend this phone!! I would recommend insurance for the phone though but I would with any phone!! Thanks for listening!!

I returned mine. PROS: Loved the battery life, reception, speakerphone, and screen. CONS: No voice recognition built into phone - you can only voice dial max. of 20 phone numbers. I want voicedial for all contacts, and this feature is a MUST. Weak vibrate feature. And most important of all - handset not loud enough. The ringers are plenty loud, but the handset max. volume was about 2-3 levels quieter than I need for comfortable listening on busy NYC streets.

Very fragile LCD screens - poor build quality
Every other phone I've ever had was built to withstand the occasional accident.
As far as I'm aware, life still happens. This phone lasted just one month.
I carry my Motorola RAZR v3 on a hip swivel holster. The original holster I purchased with my phone turned out to be of very cheap plastic and one day as I got out of my car at work, the entire holster broke apart and my phone fell (while closed but turned on) approximately 3 feet onto asphalt.
As of that time, the primary LCD screen stopped working 90% of the time. I'd have to remove battery, wait several hours, then go through several on/off cycles and sometimes the LCD screen would come back. Sometimes not.
So, I purchased another, much higher quality holster on ebay (which incidentally is where I purchased the phone through - so I have no hope of warranty or refund coverage). First day using the new holster, I guess I didn't have the phone fully locked in, for when I exited my car at home, pop - there it went - another three foot drop, this time onto concrete.
Since then, both LCD screens have no image whatsoever at any time after any combination batter removal and on/off button pressing.
Note that all functions and buttons on the phone work 100% correctly, EXCEPT I can't see a thing.
The screen is dead - completely black after these two drops that I would consider totally reasonably and normal in the lifespan of a normal phone. I try not to ever let this kind of dropping occur, but it has occured in the past with other phones - a samsung n200 and a sony ericcson t610 - never with any problems.
The Motorola RAZR is pretty to look at, but is NOT built to be used. This phone is overly delicate and cannot stand up to normal, everyday life as a cell phone.
Highly NOT recommended.

Alright so everyone hates verizon. They cripple the bluetooth. You know what. Verizon has go one of the best networks. bar none. I have not had any major complains about there customer service. Yes they don't have the best phones. I am a huge tech nut adn ebay freek so I have owned just about every high end phone the company has released. I just got the new razor. Yes the Samsung A900 by sprint has more features but what is the point with a crummy network. THe V3C razor has a ton better deatures and if you are anywhere near as clumsy as the man who is always dropping his phone get insurance. If you want better bluetooth just get a crack for your phone it is easy. I am just sick of people complaining about stuff like bluetooth problems. If your that mad get a new network.

I tried a razr with tmobile but I returned it. I'm not going to try to name all the pros and cons, just what's important to me:
Pros:
-Excellent speakerphone - loud and very clear
-Good battery life
Cons:
-Handset volume not nearly loud enough for city use. Fine inside or on quiet streets, but not loud enough to be EASY to hear outside in new york city.
-No voice recognition (voice training only). You can train the phone to voicedial only 20 numbers.
Now that I know speech recognition is available on some phones, it's an absolute must for me - I like the idea of having everyone I might want to reach stored in my phonebook, and never needing to look them up. I want to be able to press ONE button on the phone (not a series of buttons), say the name, and have the phone place the call. That's way more important to me than having camera, mp3 player, video, etc.

I remember when cell phones were used for making phone calls. Essentially that is still what cell phones are for.
Too many people are getting hung up on Verizon for crippling features such as bluetooth.
Personally to me it doesnt matter as I have yet to even buy one single device that uses Bluetooth technology.
Personally I think that this RAZR phone is a BIG leap over its Cingular competition..crippled BT or not.
For my money Verizon still has the best coverage and customer service.
