I strongly prefer to carry my phone in vibrate mode and in my pocket, so the size weight and design of the RAZR V3 was very appealing, but not so much after wearing out my second one in as many years. They would simply fall apart under heavy day-to-day use (Back plate falling off, keyboard not registering key presses, etc.). Forced to replace my phone in a hurry, I almost got the V3xx by accident while considering another 'same-old', V3 but they were out!

What a blessing to be forced by circumstances to upgrade to a superior phone. It's already wearing MUCH BETTER than the predecessor and I'm very much enjoying the added features including:
* Higher quality 2MegaPixel Camera
* Improved USB connectivity (Using Motorola Phone Tools is easier then ever)
* Great keyboard still working even after heavy use with games, messages, etc.
* Interesting MP3 player capability
The new menu system took a bit of getting used to, but is now working for me as-well-as-ever. Unfortunately the new voice dial feature is a step backward in functionality, but I can live with that for what is a clearly superior phone in many other ways.

NOTE: After 24+ month of use the phone froze up on me. I tried everything I knew and even began to use a replacement phone. Then I discovered a note on the Internet about the boot command which is to press pound ("#") and star ("*") while powering the unit on. That's just what it needed and it's back in service again with NO apparent problems.
