Motorola RAZR V3m

Being an owner of this phone I have been able to get to know the phone quite well. Being a long time fan of Motorola phones, this is first one I am not overly excited about owning. I will start will the cons of the phone. The reciever sensitivity (How well the phone picks up the signal) is lacking. Having owned many motorola phones previous to this one, I find that is doesn't work in near as many places as my Motorola E815 did. I am not sure but I have a feeling that is Verizon's fault. By placing their User Interface over Motorola's software they disable many features of the phone and substantially reduce the quality of those that remain. As with the V3c, the delay in the menu navigation is still there, however it is greatly improved upon. The ringer volume is a little on the quite side. The bluetooth as with all verizon phones has been crippled so if you have a handsfree system in your car that can store the phone book you are out of luck. The battery life with the original battery will not get you through the day with the bluetooth turned on, that is will minimal talking. Without the bluetooth you can expect to be able to use maybe 200-250 minutes without needing to recharge the battery. Car Charges are a very good investment with this phone.

Now for the good about this phone. It is carrying the nations most reliable network available. The addition of a MicoSD(TransFlash) card slot makes the phone way better. RAZR's internal memory also normally lacked, however Verizon has upped the number to 40 megabytes(about 25 is usable due to Verizon interface). The Camera quality is just as good my E815 except in low light conditions, the lack of a flash is kind of a bummer, but I use a real camera in low light so that I have a real flash. This phone feels very solid and well constructed unlike the RAZR sold by T-Mobile and Cingular. Overall I find this to be a good phone. If you want the small size and are willing to sacrifice a little battery life, I would recommend this phone to you.

If I have raised any questions in your mind feel free to ask.

It is hard to believe that someone would send a phone that clearly does not work. even after 8 hours of charging. the phone functions for 10 minutes and then shut back down and never came back on. It was clearly defective before sending.

Seller was very prompt, recieved the phone within a couple of days. It's a great phone in perfect condition. Would definately recomend seller.

This seller has a rather scary disclaimer on his auctions basically saying all sales are FINAL! His feedback, however, seems to contradict this. In my case it doesn't matter as the phone is great. In fact it is quite a bit better than he described! It looks brand new! My only problem is not with the phone but with my service provider. Although the phone is perfectly compatible with the CDMA standard that Verizon uses they panicked when they saw another providers sign on screen. They balked at setting it up. This is going to take some serious arguing, perhaps involving threats of legal action, PUC and FCC filings and even physical violence I am confident that I will prevail.

Love the phone! Get service everywhere, clear, and love the sleek look it offers. Bought the phone because I broke my old one that was originally bought with contract.

Product was purchased as gift. Dark grey and just the one we wanted. Its perfect for easy carring.......................................................................................

I would not recommend this phone to anyone! First and foremost the pictures come out horrible (blurry even on still pics). Speakphone volume is super low to the point I can barely hear my callers. Ringers are soo low (even on highest setting) I miss call quite often unless the phone is in the same room! You to remove the battery in order to access the micro sd card! What was Motorola thinking??? Battery life (drains after just a day or 2) is the worst I have ever seen in a cell phone. Mp3 player volume is soo low I don't even use it! Overall this phone is one of the worst ones on the market!

Eeryone knows the RAZR is a very popular cell phone. So when I lost mine I had to buy an exact replacement. Why? Because Motorola got this one right. It is small, lightweight, attractive, loaded with features (web, bluetooth and mp3) relatively large display, and works very well with a very long battery life. It is actualy very rugged as I have dropp tested mine several times without harm. (just don't drop it in Tampa Bay. If you find it, it will most likely not work!)

My only complaints are that the web browser does not handle normal size web sites very well and has no flash or java. Also it is sad that Alltel disabled the pop email client in the phone. Savvy users can re-enable this feature.

Other than that you cannot go wrong with this standard of the industry.

Not alot of features, but was just what the wife wanted, just a phone without all the extra bells and whistles. Reception is good, better than there (motorola) cheap phones they give you when you get your plan. battery life is so,so, 2 days at best. This one was a new battery too. My MOTO Q9 global has a better battery life.

bought pink razr V3M cell phone 7/13/08 paid 7/13/08 still no phone or messages as of 8/1/08 poor ebayer

Verizon sucks
Razrs are great phones but the verizon razr bearly gets service and there is no sim so its hard to sell back to them

main thing is NO SEVICE ANYWHERE AND BATTERY LIFE CANT LAST PAST 2 HOURS

Contact from seller was great! Product was superb!! My son is VERY happy with this purchase!!!

Thanx again so much!

I appreciated the amount of pictures the seller provided, along with the detailed description. The vast amount of information provided, made it an easy decision to bid on the item. I was very happy with the shipping time frame. My daughter loves her "new" phone!

The phone was just what my husband wanted. Thank-You. The shipping was fast and you were very helpful. Thank You

The phone was great! It was in excellent condition, and it was a very good price for such a great phone!!

EBID IS EASILY GOING TO TAKE THE MARKET FROM THESE SLIMES AT EBAY/PAYPAL. GOOGLE IS ALREADY CLIMBING TO THE TOP WITH THEIR NEW GOOGLE CHECK OUT. THE FEES ALL ACROSS THE BOARD PUT PAYPAL TO SHAME. EBID IS AN AUCTION SITE THAT DOESNT HAVE THE LOOP HOLES FOR CON ARTIST THAT DOMINATE EBAY. ALL THE PEOPLE MAKING VIDEOS ARE LIARS WHEN IT COMES TO BEING A POWER SELLER. i WILL DISPROVE THEM WITH THE NUMBERS ON YOUTUBE

Thanks the phones great! i got what i wanted and i was very pleased! i would do business again! thanks for the great time

it's lightweight, user friendly, has so many wonderful features. The camera takes great pics. The pretty red color is easy to find: in my purse, on the couch, anywhere.

I dropped my phone on a bucket of water. I theought it was ruined, but after about a week it started to work so the one I bought on Ebay was not needed. The seller has graciously agreed to accept a return of the phone and refund my money. The shipping was fast and they were easy to communicate with.

Phone is sturdy and compact. Good battery life and talk time. Bluetooth file transfer was removed from this RAZR model for "Privacy Protection". This is a negative because the only way to put files or ringtones on this phone is with a flash card or with Vcast.

I love the thinness and big screen on the v3m. It has a loud ringer and gets great reception. It takes good pictures and with the sd card slot I can store plenty of pictures and tunes! The bright red color makes it easy to find!

I bought the fone for my 13yo who really like it and could not wait to start doing stuff. There was a short delay with the service but this was quickly rectified by the seller and my son is happy, so am I. I would gladly recommend and continue doing business with this seller.

The price was good and its in perfect shape! New and in the box still....my son loves it! My son was looking for a good phone with style and this fit the bill!

on the description it said the phone had wear marks and there were, they were big! and nowhere in the description did it say theyd dropped it in the water which is very mean to not let someone know. cuz i took the phone to verizon to activate it and they said the phone was all water damaged. and the shipping was susposed to b here in 2-3 days but it took 7 business days to get to me and made me very mad. and when i contacted the seller to ask where it was, they never wrote back. and this phone was 71.00 dollars and then 22.00 to activate. very expensive. paid way too much for this item. i was ripped off. and on thier feedback score it said from someone that they needed a refund from this seller and it took a very very long time to receive it and i felt that if i sent the phone back to get a refund, i wouldnt get my money back in retrurn and i paid the 22.00 to activate it and wouldnt have a phone to use if i sent it back.

The phone was only advertised "cell phone" When I contacted the seller he wrote back that it would include a travel charger and a H700 Blue Tooth headset. Since my other Razr V3m had been dropped and broken, this worked out well.
