Motorola Razr V3

I bought this RAZR v3 phone about a year ago and I really like it. It's very solid and the voice quality is excellent. The reception quality can vary, but overall the RAZR does an excellent job in pulling in as much signal as possible. As with other Moto phones, the brightness of the screen can be adjusted, and the ringer type and volume can be easily changed. The metallic keypad takes a little getting used to, but is pretty comfy to use.

The camera takes good-quality pictures when there's plenty of light. Video capture is jerky and limited to 15 seconds, so that's probably the weakest feature for me.Battery life is okay, but with any use, it goes down fast; I usually have to recharge it at least every 3 days, sometimes sooner.

I like the RAZR's interface, but I can understand how it can confuse users new to the Moto scene. Overall, though, I don't think it's harder to use than a Sony or Nokia.

What really impresses me is the build quality of this phone. Nowhere can you find out where this thing is made, but the material and fit and finish are excellent. I'm very happy with this inexpensive purchase.
