Looks nice, but I don't see anything special about it. Nice to get a new phone though, I need one.

Nothing special, it is an awesome Razr, but it is far from an awesome phone.

Razr = 21st century Startac.

I've been needing a new phone and i go through a lot, and i mean a lot of phones... so i needed one i would actually keep...
Although the v3 is played out to the max the V3xx is a major upgrade to the actual workings of the og V3. 8x faster processor, wayyy better screen, wayy more internal memory, 1.3 mp cam. transflash slot....btw i'm a phone junkie =( so i get excited by all these things!

Like two years ago. They are so played out now that it's unbelievable. Motorola's stock rose tremendously with the first introduction of the RAZR, but now, almost three years after it was introduced their stock has taken a nosedive because the phone has saturated the market and the coolness factor is at -5. Great phone for you though, enjoy

Almost 2.5 years ago - Holiday season 2004 was when they were going for $500+.

Mot's stock dropped because they kept dropping the prices to the point where they are cranking them out in gigantic numbers but the net profits aren't there.

Personally I think the coolness factor of all cell phones is at -5. I love my BB 8700c, but it's not and never will be cool.

sounds like it has all the features of the krizr, why would u get such a large phone, the krizr might be a bit longer but is no way near as wide.

granted the phone might not be the easiest to work software wise but the phone itself works flawlessly when you use it as a phone

i can understand people buying a phone just bc they like how it looks ( which is what happened with the razr right off the bat)... trendy ppl

but id rather have a phone with kickass OS/usability rather than somethin that looks cool

please tell me they at least upgraded the motorola interface somehow? it has been crap for a while... when texting, i could type out a full sentence and sit there and wait 3 secs for it to catch up and print everything i wrote

give us a review of what its like compared to old razrs

Whatever makes you happy man. The last present I got from a girlfriend was a $200 protein skimmer, which maybe 3 people on this forum would have appreciated
