 | Motorola RAZR V3 Unlocked Cell Phone with Video Player--International Version with No Warranty (Black)
A buyer's remorse -- 2009-01-03
I regret buying this. I only use a cellphone when I travel, so by the time I realized that this one is defective it was too late to return it. I've tried two new batteries and the phone is simply unable to hold a charge for more than 24 hours, even when it is turned off. If it is in standby mode I'm lucky to get 12 hours. (I'm not activating Bluetooth.) There must be some power management problem in the hardware.
I was left in a lurch on a recent trip to Europe when I discovered that if the battery is completely spent,
the phone cannot be charged with a USB cable.
Apparently Motorola is stuck with a warehouse of defective Razrs and is dumping them on the Internet. It's disappointing that Amazon has let itself be a party to this.
poor -- 2008-12-29
I will never buy another refurb phone. I was not happy at all.
When I purchased this phone, I expected it to be fully functional,
IT WAS NOT. I could not access the Internet or recieve text messaging with pictures. The only thing it did, was make and receive calls. Was not worth the money.

A piece of ART! -- 2008-12-09
I really needed a phone that could replace my nokia N75..then i found this ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS SHINY BLING here at AMAZON.COM. In person, the phone really catches your sense sight because of its shiny silver finish and its handy screen mirror! Truly, I'm Glad i have this phone ryt now, cause i really need a nice but a sophisticated looking phone that has also a nice price tag on it..the features are great; the crisp sound quality and superb clear display quality..However, it has some flaws to consider..( darn..) the Battery life is kinda weak..(buy a car charger to solve it!), and the keypads are kinda hard press when I TXT (but u can deal with it later on)..
I recommend this piece of art to all u guys who are looking for a great looking phone and may bring SHINE, SHINE, SHINE to your Life!
Peace Mates! lol
Definitely born to shine! -- 2008-01-29
I have been drooling over this phone ever since I first saw the teasers online last year prior to it's release. I finally, got around to ordering this last Christmas and I have to say that I'm quite pleased with it.
This replaced my blue Sony Ericsson Z610i which also had a nice and shiny surface. All in all, it's a great phone--looks great, user friendly, and has the basic fun things you would expect in a phone: great camera for stills and video (of course for serious picture-taking I use my Canon digicam), mp3 player, games, etc. I really liked the brightness and crispness of the screen as well and let's be honest--the phone looks really HOT.
Of course, it's not perfect--here are some irritations I have with the phone:
- fingerprinting on the screen. I know I should have expected this after owning the Z610i, but the weird thing was--before I removed the protective plastic from the screen I tested it first to check if it was going to leave fingerprints, it didn't. So I removed the film. But a few days after, the fingerprinting started. Weird, I know.
- No option for creating playlists in the mp3 player--it plays all the music files stored in the phone and memory card--and I mean ALL. Not to be too picky or anything but I really have no desire to listen to the default tones on the phone...(yes, I can just delete them but still...)and sometimes I would like to listen to certain songs without having to wait for the other 300+ other songs to finish first--you can skip to the next tracks but it's tedious.
- Only one port for the charger, headset, and usb cable. My first concern is that it might get damaged from over-use and from all the insertion and removal. The second thing is that I can't charge my phone while using the headset or usb cable which was something I am sued to doing with my Z610i.
All in all, it's a great little phone that has nice little features and makes you look good to boot.

Good luck trying to snyc music -- 2009-01-04
Phone, camera, video - all acceptable.
Standby time, and talk time - decent.
trying to put music on this is AWFUL.
I cannot tell you how many times I was told that I cannot use a Universal Serial Bus, I needed *the* motorolla version USB. After buying the stupid kit for the USB - it still didn't sync. arg. I managed to stumble on a method to put music onto the memory card, and just put it into the phone.
As a phone. No prob. As a music player - AWFUL. I figure that is worth 3 stars.
AMAZING!!!! -- 2008-12-26
I have had this phone for about 2 1/2 years now. I changed from the RAZR. This past weekend I was not paying attention and WASHED AND DRIED the phone that was in my pant pocket powered on! To my amazement it still works just fine!!!!! I have had it slip out of my pocket before and hit the ground from standing level, but WOW I cannot beleive that it is still working after a full wash and dry cycle!!!!!!

This is a very good phone. -- 2009-01-01
No it doesn't have a camera. I'll use a real camera if I want to take a picture. What is more important to me is that it is a good quality phone, with great reception and sound. Also it has a voice call feature that's easy to access and actually recognizes my voice and calls the number that I intended (unlike my Razr which always seems to have problems with this feature). Thus I've actually backward upgraded to this phone. Oh and it also has bluetooth, speakerphone, and mp3 ringtones capability, added plusses! Want a good basic easy to use phone with no complaints? Then get this. Got mine used, and unlocked, off of ebay (unbelievable price too, half of what you see here) and I'm VERY happy with it.
3rd Party Trash Reseller: Amazon Profits But Not Responsible -- 2008-12-13
Motorola V197 Unlocked Cell Phone--U.S. Version with Warranty (Charcoal)
Don't even consider buying from Amazon.com. I've spent thousands through them, & made the fatal error that they actually monitor the resellers they profit from, but disclaim all responsibility. Bought this "new" "US" cell from HassleFreeCell (irony aside)--which they STILL sponsor: 1)"SUBTLE" indication that it was returned, not new: no plastic wrap on (slightly crushed) box (cheapo packaging), clear plastic shipping protectors slapped on worse than a a very uncoordinated 3-year old, no install disk; & 2) (what a surprise) DOESN'T WORK--both XP (2 different computers) & Vista return fatal hardware install messages--small wonder it was returned goods.
And Amazon??? Too bad, deal with the nice folks who cheated in the 1st place (& don't even have the cell listed on their own website). Add idiot customer "support"--clear message that the main issue was used goods--later found out it was defective for good measure--& these bozos respond "sorry it was damaged during shipping."
Caveat emptor--shop at a reputable website.

Excellent Alternative to regular cell phone -- 2008-12-16
This an excellent alternative to a regular cell phone. The phone is lighter than a regular cell phone but the quality is still there. The phone is as easy as any regular cell phone to use with typical controls but the customer support from the company is great. Although geared towards kids I have used this and found little difference between it and a basic "regular" cell phone besides the cute start up graphics. The company does have some great controls in place if you do buy it for a kid. Although it looks like for a limited time they have a rebate program that makes the phone free!
[...]
The economics the way they are it makes no sense at all to buy into any two year plan. This one makes it so I can adjust to whatever happens right away, which is a serious piece of mind. It comes in handy for when you need it on trips or an "emergency" but has enough to it for regular use as well. Finally able to break away from the two year contracts and very happy about it!
kajeet customer care very helpful -- 2008-11-15
I was not at a computer to begin the kajeet activation process for the LG so I called kajeet customer care. The person I spoke with was very friendly and patient with me. I was in my car with my kids at the time. The customer service person walked me through the process and everyone was very happy before we reached our destination and the phone was a hit. The LG phone works great and the parental controls are fantastic. It is the perfect phone for the younger ones. We have three kids and each loves their kajeet. Thanks.

LOVE IT! -- 2007-11-09
I bought this phone from Neiman Marcus when it first came out, and it's been about a year now and I have no complaints. It's an awesome phone, both in function and design. I absolutely love it and highly recommend it, especially for those fashionistas out there! It's definitely worth buying, in particular now that it is at half the price it was at when it first came out.
