Motorola RAZR V3m (Unlocked)

The v710 was my favorite non PDA/Smartphone until the RAZR V3m. The "m" model contains a storage card capability and Now the v3m is my favorite non-business mobile phone. I tested the telephone for two weeks, while my Smarthphone was being updated.

RECEPTION
The reception is extremely clear; comparable to a landline or Vonage phone. During the two week trial period, there were not any dropped calls.

I was pleasantly surprised to the signal as I was accustomed to the Smartphone dropping the calls on the same line. The speaker phone works loud and very comparable to my TreoWX, without the typical cell phone feedback background noise

MP3
Fun, fun, fun. I removed the storage card from my HP PDA (2495) and TreoWX and used inserted it into the Razr...music and videoes galore! The songs and videos were very clear. Impressive.

CAMERA
The camera was typically mobile, nothing more nor less. A great tool for sending the spouse out as a grocery shopping tool or accident scene. The video function is a cute feature to be used as well indoors or daylight.

TEXTING
Keys are large and clear. The illumination is excellent in dark places. The response time for sending and receiving texts were also immediate.

BLUETOOTH
It synced with my PDA, headsets, Smartphones, and et cetera with great ease.

HEADSETS
Absolutely terrible. Useless. They hurt your ears! I also bought this telephone for my sister's as a graduation present; her only complaint - the headset.

DESIGN
Flip design. LOVE IT! Very very comfortable, making the bluetooth headset unnecessary. I was able to multitask while speaking, even on those long personal calls.

Thinness - fits nicely in front coin pockets, back pockets, and even those "hidden" places... even with the faceplate!

RECOMMENDATION
A screen cover is recommended to protect it from sweat.

OVERALL
Thin. Pretty, as a junior staff loves to call it..lol. Excellent reception. Durable. If a PDA/Smartphone is not needed then this is a great phone.
