Motorola RAZR V3 2G Unlocked Phone with Camera, and Video Player -This phone will not work for AT&T or Any AT&T sub-carriers.

I will start off by saying that I have read the reviews of this phone and regarding the seller BSR. I must say that I am shocked at some of the reviews that I have read. Here is my experience with this phone and seller BSR. First off, the Razr V3 is the best flip phone that I have owned till date. The phone that I received worked as the seller has described and looked great considering that it was used. There were next to no scratches or cosmetic issues. The phone came with everything that was needed to use the phone. The phone held a charge and appeared to be fully functional. Here is my experience with BSR Cellular. If you are given the option to buy this phone from BSR, BUY IT FROM THEM. I must also say that I believe that they are the best sellers that I have had the pleasure of doing business with. Due to my ignorance, I purchased this phone without reading the entire ad and to my dismay, it was not for my service provider. I contacted the seller and explained to them my problem and without a single hiccup, they returned my money. That was not the end of it either, they not only returned my money, but also went through the trouble of getting the phone for my service provider and emailed me once it became in stock because at that time they did not have it for my provider and ensured that I received the right Razr for Verizon. This only speaks volumes on their customer service ethics. I hope this review even though it is not in its entirety based on the phone, will help someone in their decision to purchase the phone and whom they buy it from.

Arrived early. I replace the exact model that was lost on a airline, not recovered. Works fine, except: 1. The auto day/time does not work. Resets date, but not time when I go to another time zone. 2. Even though it is the same Motorola model, it will not download the address book from my old phones file save to my computer. Otherwise it is a good phone. This is the third RAZR V3 that I have had (lost two in travel). I considered a smart phone this time, but decided the V3 meets my needs.

This is my third Motorola Razor, I started using them over 8 years ago. They are quad compatible for use in the United States and Europe. This has been my favorite phone, no bells and whistles, no internet, just a plain phone I can use anywhere. My first phone lasted almost 5 years, the second one lasted about 3 years and the most recent one lasted 1 day and suddenly went dead. The quality has been going downhill. This phone is definitely no longer a well constructed tel although the box looks official Motorola. I was lucky to have the warranty or I would be out $60. I am lucky to be receiving a refund. I decided not to take a chance and order another one. I had to switch to a Nokia X2-01, non flip, keyboard style, quad phone. The ratings on this phone are high, so this one should work out fine. Too bad these Motorola razors are being manufactured with such low quality. There is still a market for these types of telephones, if they are properly made. The Nokia looks like it still has quality control. I have not seen any negative comments. However, it costs $ 35 more than the razor. Hopefully this one will work for several years.

I had several reservations ordering this phone after reading so many of the poor reviews. Although Amazon LLC sells the item, it's over one-third more than other sellers. Before buying, I contacted Amazon customer service and they said I would get a full, no questions asked refund if the phone did not work with my SIM card if I used either Amazon or an Amazon Fulfillment seller. So I went for such a seller, less than Amazon LLC but not the rock-bottom cheapest. What I received appeared to be in brand new condition: the box was sealed, and so were all the bags inside. The charger has a US plug but can be used overseas. The battery appeared to be new too, and after being charged under three hours held it for over 36 hours. The phone was unlocked, but T-Mobile branded. It worked with both my T-Mobile SIM and a UK (English) pay-as-you-go SIM. I wanted a quad band, unlocked GSM cell phone for overseas travel. This phone fits the bill, and the aesthetics are nice. Folded, the phone is quite pocketable. Open, the size is easy enough to manage. Both the exterior and huge interior screens are color. The lighted keypad looks like "Tron" in its use of a blue florescent design. The owner's manual is quite skimpy and cheaply printed as other reviewers suggest. But I was able to download the full manual as a PDF from Motorola's web site. The supplied manual is small enough to keep in a wallet while travelling, though. I didn't try sending an MMS, but received one or two of SMS advertisements, so text messaging works. If you want a phone for overseas travel that will work in almost any country with a local SIM card, consider this one. As long as you buy from Amazon LLC or use a seller with Amazon Fulfillment, you a) probably will not have any problems and b) will at least get a no questions asked refund with the seller paying return shipping if what you receive does not work as described.

I bought this phone after my second Z520a died and I got burned on an eBay auction for a third one. I'll get my money back on that one since there was tracking and PayPal involved with a failure to actually ship. (Ebay/Paypal refunded 6/2010) Anyway, you have an idea of what phone I am used to and now I have this one. I received it in two days, I used UPS Second Day service. I was getting pretty desperate since the eBay phone never came and I was in get something, anything mode. As far as I can tell, the phone is new. It didn't smell like smoke or have bagged items that looked like they had been opened. Sim slot seemed flimsy but is making a good connection. Powered up and worked. That is pretty darn important! Branded Cingular on back, symbol for T-Mobile on wall paper. Reception quality is less than my Sony Erricson Z520, bluetooth doesn't seem to let me get to photos on the phone, I can connect but not to files I know are on the phone. I ordered Motorola Phone Tools 4.0 last night, maybe the view will improve. I hope I can revise a review as I have more time with it. I *hope* this isn't one of those crippled locked down phones the blood suckers (cell companies) try to turn into a profit center on ringtones and picture up/down loading. Ringer and speaker phone are not very loud. Memory is 5MB, the Sony had 16MB. The longer I write the lower my opinion is getting. Oh, the battery doesn't seem to hold charge worth a darn. Like down to a bar after one day w/o talking on it more than a minute. I ordered another battery. I have a USB car charger for my ancient Palm TE, it won't charge the phone. Runs my Garmin Colorado GPS and charges the Palm just fine. That is an irritation. It does have multiple alarms. That is nice, I take a lot of meds and being prompted to take each one is a nice feature over my z520 with only one alarm. Where could this phone actually rack up points over time? Reliability. As much as I loved my z520, I went though two of them, well three if you count the time I took parts from the first one to fix the second one. Google white screen of death. Also, the magnet for the flip function tended to draw in metal dust right near where the output transistors for the RF section were located. Stupid. I work in a machining facility. Staying connected. My last phone had a habit of just dropping me were signal strength was good. It is a phone. It was 72.49 with free shipping if I had time to wait. Wes Szumera Edit 6/5/10 I purchased a copy of Motorola Phone Tools 4.0 and it would not connect to the phone. The battery that came with it was a dud, the one I bought cheap from The OEM Shop actually seems to work. I only get a charge complete with it if I use a PC to charge it though. The other battery is still a dud, I tested it again using the PC as a charger. I complained about the bad original battery and Amazon wanted me to ship everything back which I was against. The phone does work and I don't want to be quality assurance on another one. Eventually they contacted me and said they gave me a 15 dollar credit and buy another battery, don't send yours back. When I tried to apply it the credit turned out to be 6.99 but I bought the replacement battery for just less than that so it is all good on that. I finally got my ring tones on the phone but I had to use PKCommander v6 from [...] which always makes me nervous since it is hard to tell if the software you get for free is clean as in no bad packages attached. Speaker volume sucks! My custom ring tones are not as loud as the Z520a and they buzz. The only good thing I have to say about this phone is that it does have multiple alarm clock settings. That is becoming its most redeeming feature. Oh yes, flat black, avoid it if you expect the paint to stick on it. I'm not a slave to style so that doesn't bug me too much.

The original Razr phone was pretty much my favorite phone. It had looks, functionality, and slimness. Tastes in fashion change and so do phones. However, I just wanted the ability to call and text on a handy flip phone. This phone is the technology of a decade ago so the graphics and features one expects of today's phone will not be here. Construction quality is the standard of years ago so it may not feel as solid as many of today's phones. For what I want it do, it is uncomplicated and inexpensive. It's been reliable and the performance in receiving and transmitting gives me no reasons for complaint. There is no comparing it to today's multipurpose smartphones. Today's phones can do so much more. I didn't want a phone to do so much more. Make and take phonecalls, send and receive texts, voicemessages, and a phonebook is all I needed and that what I got in a good looking easy to use device, which is what the Razr is. Put in your SIM card, charge the battery, and start using the phone.

Need a basic phone that provides excellent service? This is definitely the one. Looks great, operates great, and is durable. I have had one for about 8 years and was extremely well pleased with it. Gave it fairly rough treatment and it recently finally quit on me. Received new one within 4 days. Switched sim card, installed new battery, plugged it in and in about 2 hours it came on automatically exactly as my old phone operated. The seller even included a new battery and charger that I wasn't expecting. Caution: be sure your sim card will fit - - - mine is from an old T-Mobile provider and I was using it in an old Motorola Razr. The only thing I didn't receive was a complete user manual - - - but I didn't expect one. They sent a partial manual that gives most info you will need. If more is needed you can get it free online. I can keep my old (very old & cheap) contract with T-Mobile now. Very seriously considering ordering another one of these as a spare for my wife. YOU ABSOLUTELY CANNOT GO WRONG WITH THIS DEAL. Paid about $53 total.

As others have said, good for the price, but remember this is a 2G phone. It WILL be supported for quite some time however by AT&T despite rumors to the contrary. I discussed the matter with AT&T and they said they have so many 2G users they don't dare cut 2G support any time soon. When that day comes I am sure they will announce it, and there will of course be gnashing of teeth and rending of garments, but at least we'll know about it. That matter addressed, the issue some will have with this phone is that the interface requires a few more key-presses to get to common functions than the more current phones. Eg: sending a text requires either 5 steps or 7 steps, while other phones require either 3 steps or 5 steps, depending on how you go about things. For those of us with more recent phones who get this one, these kinds of things will seem a wee annoying until you get used to it. That said, this phone works and that is what is key to happiness with any product: it's gotta work.
