Motorola RAZR V3

I have had this phone for about 4 years now, and I have put it through about anything you can imagine.  I work in construction, and I have fallen on this phone, it has fallen out of my truck, I have laid down on it (crawling under a house) and it keeps on running.  Just this week the center button on the keypad has started to come loose, but I think that is a pretty good track record for such a small phone.

I have loved the size and performance of this phone and would recommend it to anyone.  My only complaint is the battery life, but even that wasn't too bad.  If I was going in and out of service it would last about 6 hour (no talk time).  If I was talking constantly on it, I would have to estimate about 4 hours of talk time....that would be constant talking, which I've never done.

Not gonna lie, not my favorite piece of equipment.  Obviously the price was right (free with ATT plan), and I am far from a mobile connoisseur, but the I would probably still count the Razr as a poor investment overall.  The whole "flat buttons" thing is not so much sleek but idiotic.  I am constantly hitting the wrong key, and my predictive texting skillz have gone out the window.  Not to mention I can never hear ANYTHING through this phone.  I've pretty much given up trying to talk on it unless I'm locked in a dark room by myself with my tin foil hat on.  Trains, buses - nuh uh.

Soo, moral of the story being, if you're cheap like me, I recommend begging, borrowing, and/or stealing over the Motorola Razr.  My favorite is when Motorola has product placements in such high tech action hits as the Bourne Ultimatum... I am just picturing Matt Damon trying to dial on those flat buttons with his left while driving manual, kicking some serious ass, and diffusing a bomb with his right.  Nice try.

Yawn.  Like the Palm V of old, the Razr has had a long, useful life, but is on its way out. 

They only why I put on star for features is because I had it when I was on Verizon.  Other that form factor ALL VERIZON PHONES HAVE THE SAME INTERFACE.
