Ok guys, I am planning on getting a Motorola V3 RAZR phone for my cricKet service. I like the RAZRs, as far as features. The big screen does it for me too. One main reason I'm getting the RAZR is because I am having way too many problems with my V265. I figure a replacement phone will fix all the problems. Motorola phones are the ones I trust the most.

How do you all like your Motorola V3s? Does anyone here have a RAZR for cricKet? What are the advantages? Disadvantages?

I really dont want to go to a Kyocera, so I want to know first hand what you all think of your RAZR phones.

Thanks.
 
These sentences are pretty contradictory:

"One main reason I'm getting the RAZR is because I am having way too many problems with my V265. I figure a replacement phone will fix all the problems. Motorola phones are the ones I trust the most."

Wasnt your V265 a motorola? Maybe you should consider some other brands aside from just keyocera.

As a recommendation the razr is a fairly well rounded phone, and has had good repair history. You may get dust under the screen tho.

cheers
 
Yes, I do realize that I contradicted my statement, but no Motorola Phone has had as many problems as Nokias that i've owned in the past. I realize that the V265 is a Motorola, and yes it does have its problems...but the phone never failed me. It will call when I want it to and ring when someone wants it to. Its just inconvienent to have the phone resetting when I'm checking stuff or just playing with the phone.
 
The RAZR is a good phone... if you just need a phone (calling and texting). Otherwise, I'd advise you get something else. I've had 3 RAZRs in two months (all new, no refurbs). When you run into problems, exchanging is a pain in the rear.
 
I have gone through four RAZR's and the only reason I'm sticking with them is because I am a poor college student and the warranty has replaced all of them. The antenna reception is horrible compared to other motorolas. My timeport p280 from voicestream worked on the UW campus in places my RAZR only dreamed of working. The camera quality is really low compared to many new phones that offer megapixal cameras. Dust builds up in the phones LCD over time and I experienced lots of freezing on one of the replacements I got. Everyone has a RAZR now, so it's not cool anymore either. The good about the RAZR is that the os is easy to operate, even though it is old and outdated and can't store multiple numbers under a person, bluetooth works very well (I use it all the time), the speakerphone is of above average quality, and the screen is amazingly large. Good luck with your phone purchase.
 
I guess my RAZR was okay when I had it, but the dust problem got on my nerves way too much.

It's an okay phone if you just want it for talking and maybe texting, just the basic stuff. If you want mp3 and all the other good stuff, you should look for something else. The camera on the RAZR is just standard vga also, unless you get a 1.3 mgp one
 
I am not sure what Nokia's you have used in the past but it is my opinion that they are far superior than any Motorola on T-Mobile or Cingular, with the exception of some of the Nextel ones, those are built pretty well. I have heard nothing but problems about the Razr but with any phone that can be based on the carrier or location. It's always been my strong believe that you pay for what you get. Any time they are practically giving a phone away, the Razr for instance, it is not a well built phone. Motorola is notorious for just mass producing their phones and if you have a problem just sending you a new one. The problem is the new phone has the same problems as the old. As you see above people stating they have already had 3 or 4 replacement. So to basically answer your question I would stay away from the Razr.
