^^ not that great , really. I had it and then sold it on ebay, was too tiny for my hands. Besides i hate cingular, at&t and Tmobile, thats another reason why i sold it. A good price would be anything around 300 to 400. i bought mine with the headset for 400 and then sold just the phone on ebay for 610.

I've got one, and so far it's great. If you buy the phone with new service, it's only $370 from amazon. (That's what I did - however I lost my old number; oh well) The only thing that bugs me is the phone is slow when scrolling through the phone book. It's nowhere near as fast as my old Nokia.... Other than that, it's nice.

sure its thin, but its too wide... makes it feel weird to hold. also, the buttons on the keypad feel weird to the touch.

final analysis: overrated

That phone is awesome, but I have another 6 months with my current one before I get a $100 credit towards a new phone.

I have it. Best RF I have ever had...But I've only had a handful of phones. Battery life is pretty decent. The menus scroll pretty fast for me. Screen is big as well.

I don't think its worth more than $300 though.

When you get a razr, you're basically paying for the looks... features are almost exactly the same as the v600 with the exception of the external color display.. If you want something with more features that's about the same price get the Samsung D500.. The D500 is actually a pretty nice phone too...

I had mine about a month. Nothing special over V600 (except the looks). Only problem is battery not strong enough and needs to recharge every other day.

Just got it a couple days ago and I love it Although I do agree for $300ish phone, there are a lot out there that has way more functionality then it. However I guess I've always been a sucka for the phones design rather than the features. Overall, the features in the v3 is no different from the v600.

Man you guys are willing to pay alot for your phones. I don't think I've ever paid for a cellphone in my life. Always just get it free when I sign up for new service.

Overpriced, overrated....free is good though.

If you're gonna spend money like that, get a Sony Ericsson V800.

Guys say what you want about the pricing of the Razr..it's expensive! I owned a V-600 before I got my Razr, and although it was a nice phone, it wouldn't hold a call in my Mom's basement..nothing, no signal, no reception period. With the Razr, I wasn't expecting much more in regard to RF strength, but the first day I owned it, I was in the basement, and the phone rang. Not only was I able to talk, but the quality of the sound was excellent. I only had one bar of signal strength, but I was able to complete the call, and walk around the basement without dropping the call. No other phone I've ever owned would work in her basement. The wide size of the Razr does take getting used to, but now that I've owned it for 2 months, I'd say it's the best phone I've ever owned. The keypad is awesome, it's made of engraved metal, and is worlds ahead of anyother keypad I've had before. This phone rocks!!! My only complaint is the price...it's pretty steep..but worth every penny IMHO.

Oh I see. I prefer the silver on silver though. The silver keypad on the black phone doesn't look right IMO.


Any pics of the razr berry?
