Motorola V3xx (2007)

Would be perfect except for silly OS mistakes – Had this phone for 3 years, just stopped working last week, (dropped a few too many times) so I decided to write a review of it. Great build quality, reliable and sturdy phone. Fantastic battery life, I regularly got 5 days of use before a recharge. Clear screen, great signal reception, and generally a well built and ergonomic phone. However, the operating system is poorly designed. Stupid things like not being able to set the alarm to repeat, forcing you to re enable it every single day you wanted to get up, gave me much frustration. The phone beeps every few minutes if you miss a call or receive a msg, and there is no way to turn this off. Some apps require the use of multiple buttons to select different commands, instead of using a common select button - very frustrating.

So overall, a well built and reliable phone with a poorly designed user interface - a paradox. Well built, reliable, good battery life. Poor user interface, frustrating controls.

OK – I really like this phone by Motorola, I think it has a great battery life, a really good screen and is reasonably priced, but I believe that I will be buying an iPhone for my next phone, mainly for the amount of great apps. This great new phone by Motorola has a great little camera, good Internet loading speed, and heaps of cool games, this phone keeps the same cool shape that the Motorola phones became famous for. The Motorola Razr V3xx is  really great, in particular because of its great screen, one of the biggest on a mobile phone. This phone also has a great battery life, there have been times, where I didn't charge the phone for days and it was still fine. On most of the Motorola phones, the major downside is the lack of flexibility in the apps for the phone, when you compare it with a phone like the iPhone, because the motorola phones have very few free apps or games and the few that they do have are just demos of more expensive games and each demo only takes about ten minutes to complete.

Bad – nice design but a bad phone if its not working and i pay like $259 for it some cheaper phones work the best it has good games and a good camera it played up in 2weeks and i sent it to telstra to get it fix they said they fix it but i not sure if they fix at all it came back to me and it turn on and keeps turning on and off they said fix it and i am just going too pay $45 to fix the phone and wait and a hour to fix a phone at cannon hill supermarket don't buy a phone from telstra

OK – it's strong and reliable and has good range. Front screen is too small to see well but inside screen is big and clear. It's not easy to use. Bluetooth is included with the phone but it's not easy to set up and use it. Various functions like video calls, mp3, camera.. Long battery life. Good size screen, strong Small front screen, not very user friendly

Excellent – I upgraded my old Motorola to this one and I feel that this was the best decision I made, the size of the phone is great as I feel that I am actually talking on the phone and not my hand. It has a nice slim body to it when closed and comes is 3 different colour, black, sliver and purple. The size of the screen on the inside makes it very east to read messages, your phone book etc, but the front of the phone is hard to read espcially during the day as it looks black and you have to push on the light to see the time. But overall this is a great looking phone and well worth the money Colour,style Front screen
