V3a RAZR - Get something else if you can
2 of 3 people found this review helpful.
My decision to purchase was very persuasive as I received $100 BACK with the two year contract. Now I know why.
Very often when making keypad entries the phone will reset. You have to wait about half a minute to be able to use it again. This is not a quirk of one phone as we actually purchased two. They act the same way. Others have said the same about their v3a phones.
The order of the pictures is terrible. Each year you start fresh at the top and each picture taken is added below it. If you want look at your most recent picture taken you have to arrow down through to find it. This may be apparently a failure to keep the customer happy on other phones and other services too.
The text messaging will send out one message and may be received as two or more messages on the recipient phone - even the exact same phone on the same service. This may be a function of the carrier, not the phone - I'm not sure.
The phone does do the basic functions - call, text message, take pictures, etc, but look for something better, and more reliable.
The last three cell phones I had were also by Motorola (v400, v551, v557) and they were excellent, especially in the areas mentioned above. (Their only problem was the charger connector and connector computer cable. It corroded very easily leaving charging to be almost impossible and computer connection even worse.) Then I had Cingular. When I had to change to Alltel I didn't expect the phone to be one of the major problems.
Again, find a better phone.
