The Motorola RAZR V3XX is the updated version of
the RAZR V3X. It's an ultra-slim
and lightweight 3G handset that comes in some funky designs (see
photo on the left) and makes the V3X look fat and flabby.
But the V3XX isn't just about looks. It has a surprise
up its sleeves - 3.5G technology! The V3XX introduces a new technology
called HSDPA (High Speed Download Packet Access) which enables data
to be downloaded at speeds of up to 3.6 Mbps - that's 10x faster
than conventional 3G - and has been dubbed 3.5G. This means that
you can make maximum use of 3G network services, such as high resolution
video calling at 15 frames per second, super-fast music downloading
and streaming and live TV on your phone. The Motorola V3XX is the
first UK handset to introduce this new technology, but there will
be more released during 2007.
The V3XX includes two cameras: a 1.3 megapixel
camera for still photography, and a VGA camera for video calling.
This is a bit of a puzzle. The V3X had a 2 megapixel camera, so
Motorola have taken a step backwards here. The camera really doesn't
make the grade for a 3G phone costing as much as this. It's the
phone's biggest letdown. The video camera on the other hand is excellent
and supports high resolution (640 x 480 pixels) with a frame rate
of 15 frames per second. The main display supports 256K colours
and 240x320 resolution, which is the de facto standard for
this class of phone in 2007.
As you'd expect the V3XX has full support for music
playing. The stereo MP3 player supports the most common digital
music formats (MP3, AAC & AAC+) and you can plug in either a
USB headset or a wireless stereo Bluetooth headset (both optional
extras). Sound quality is excellent. MP3 ringtones are also supported,
with 64-voice polyphonic sound. The onboard memory is only 50 Mbytes,
which is enough to store around 10 songs, but you can expand the
memory using a microSD™ memory card. No memory card is supplied
with the phone, but you can buy these relatively cheaply now, and
the microSD™ format cards are available at up to 2 Gbytes.
The battery life of the V3XX has been improved
compared with the V3X, although 3G phones are always challenged
in this respect and never perform as well as 2G handsets. Bluetooth
and USB connectivity is supported, and all the standard features
that you'd expect from a modern phone (MMS, email, web browser,
etc) are present. Of course, it was released in 2007 and soesn't
have modern features such as GPS.
Features of the Motorola V3XX include:
3G video calling
1.3 megapixel camera with 8x digital zoom
Video camera (640 x 480 pixels, 15 frames/second,
MPEG4 format)
Main display: 256,000 colours, 320 x 240 pixels
(2.2 inches)
Memory: 50 Mbytes plus microSD™ memory
card slot (expandable to 2 Gbytes)
Connectivity: Bluetooth, mini-USB
Fast downloads: HSDPA (3.6 Mbps), EDGE Class
10, GPRS Class 10
WAP 2.0/xHTML web browser
Vibration alert
Size: 103 x 53 x 15mm
Weight: 100g
Talktime: 175 minutes (120 minutes when video
calling)
Battery standby: 305 hours

I'm just a typical phone user. The Motorola V3xx has worked fine
for me. Only a few problems to report: I can confirm that the Battery
Runs down quickly if you use the MP3 player a lot. A few more problems
happened recently when I took a vacation to Middleboro, Maine near
Martha's Vineyard. I had the phone's alarm set for 7:00 AM but at
3:30 AM twice. Leaving the phone on, this strange tone played for
about 20 seconds and then the phone shut itself down. the phone
still alarmed at it's correct time however. Once with airplane mode
on and then airplane mode off. I can't seem to duplicate the problem
in my home area so I suspect it's either 3G related or area related.
My home network runs on EDGE. I came upon this page using Google,
still searching for similar issues. Overall it's still a good phone. Rating:

One major flaw with this phone makes me dock it two full stars:
When a ringer ID is used (a custom ring tone for, say, my wife),
any text messages I get from that person trigger that custom ringtone.
In other words, text messages from people with custom ringtones
sound just like phone calls and cause me to dive for the phone and
say Hello? Hello??? a couple times before taking a look and seeing
it's just a dumb text message. I called AT&T about this. They said
it's a feature. Thanks a lot, guys. Rating:

The V3xx is a great move from it's older brothers (the older V3
models). it has a great camera and and super fast and crips video
recording. i had this phone for 6 months and had practically no
problems. one major proble i have (can't blame the phone for this)
is the bands, their european and i'm in canada so it's a let down
there. USA AND CANADA PPL NEED 850 and 1900 BANDS TO GET MAX PERFORMANCE
IN YOUR COUNTRIES. i only have the 1900, but surprisingly the phone
works great in most places. the receiver is really clear and loud.
the speakerphone is loud even for music, it's no boombox so don't
expect to hear in a very noisy background (put it close to ur ear
and u'll hear well) one problem with the speakerphone is that when
it's on and u close the flip, u get disconnected from your call.
The phone is super fast,even for java programs there's barely any
waiting for anything, everything loads fast. one great advantage
about the phone is the ringtone HIGH PITCH IT'S LOUD!!! Rating:

V3xx is a beautiful phone, like all RAZR's. Sleek, elegant, and
I love the big keypad buttons. It FEELS expensive and like it's
made to last. Like all Razr's, it is an incredible voice phone.
At the end, that is the most important thing. Basic OS as delivered
via AT&T is ok. The adress book is brain-dead on arrival. Motorola
could learn something from LG here. My gripe? Often, you will have
one contact with many different numbers to contact them with--home
phones, pagers, business numbers. Sadly all RAZR's phonebooks are
flat, one name to one number. So, what happens is you have the same
name listed numerous times in your phone book. C'mon guys, you can
do better. Nice music player, and bluetooth stereo headset support
is super. I just one-upped my IPod equipped wife and son! Woohoo!
I am told that a 2 GB micro SD expansion card is the maximum size.
Bottom line? Thasa lot of music folks. Far more than I care to listen
to in one setting. File system on phone is a bit rudimentary as
well. There isn't a way to create your own files--again, a surprise
on a high end phone. BTW. You can copy your iTunes and paste them
into your SD card and they run great. Nice. Like all MP3's? Don't
expect CD quality sound. Ain't gonna happen. The main screen is
awesome. Makes me sick to look at others now. Sweet! Lately? My
V3xx freezes solid when changing wallpaper. I haven't figured out
why. Tech support at AT&T/Cingular has no idea--and since this phone
was offered as an upgrade/replacement for a series of 3 V3 RAZR's,
I can't get a replacement. So, anyway, I have to litterally pull
the battery out, re-install and then turn the phone on to continue
when this happens. This is my 4th RAZR (3 V3's before it). I am
careful with my handsets. Never dropped, no liquid spills. Motorola
seems to be having some serious quality control issues with RAZR's.
I heard more RAZR's were made last year than any other cell phone.
Perhaps I have just been unlucky and got the short end of production
line tolerances? My son's V3 RAZR? He's beat the heck out of it
and it has never faltered, hiccupped or done anything bad. Maybe
I should take a lesson from him... Rating:

I got this phone really cheap £100 from Norwich & I was very skeptical
after owning a v3x. but it has none of the problems my v3x had like
turning off for no reason or short term battery life, even leaveing
the bluetooth on for a long period didn't kill the battery. The
only problem I have found so far is that the fron screen sometimes
stays lit long after I have closed the phone, other times the light
goes off at the correct time set. Other than that the phone performs
better than most 2g phones & is definitely the best 3G phone I have
owned. The signal is superb, the battery life is better & everything
seems to be tweaked to improve performance. the only gripes I have
is that it is a little unbalanced when texting & the camara is poor
compared with the V3x. My phone is just the plane black case & it
is a very unassuming phone considering the features. & I have to
say I would definitely recommend it to anyone wanting to upgrade
to 3G. Rating:

for me was the battery life. By the end of my 12 months my battery
would give me about 20 minutes of talktime before it switched off.
Using the music player in the phone was a no-no for me as it would
use battery life. Took me ages to find an in car charger for it

This is my second time writing. It's regarding MMS and GPRS usage.
I thought it was happened to my unit only. But since Owen Philips

To use both functions, I have to switch off and on my unit before
using them. Be it sending or receiving MMS, i would have to off
and on my v3xx. Annoying isn't it... Yea, this could be due to network
operator (H3G). but in 2 different countries? Another plus point
for v3xx, is its Lock application function. This helps to prevent
unwanted access/usage of applications (messages, internet, settings,
etc) from others who might try to read your messages or adjusting

Design-wise, V3xx is the IT phone for styling and flaunting around.
You can see it being used in many movies esp. US movies. Yup, it's
amazing. Well, let me make it simple by listing the good and the
bad. Let's start with the BAD news: Major FLAW, you CAN'T reject
a call without opening the flip, thus answering the call. Another
major flaw, you can't resize pictures for 'MMS-friendly' size. You'll
be sending a very big MMS to other party which might irritate them
especially if they're not using 3G. You can't control the bringhtness
of the puny little external screen. Brightness level is in-sync
with the internal screen's brightness control though somewhat dimmer
than the latter. No recurrence alarm option. No notepad tool such
as in the SonyEricssons. Can't create folders. Can't rename mp3
files. You can't copy sound files wherever you wanted: mp3 would
go into Music folder and WAV and MID would ended up in Sounds folders.
So I ended up with my full mp3 songs mixed up with my editted mp3
for ringtones. Opening the flip, the plastic edges made it looks
a little cheap. A metal finish would be great. The BIGGEST disappointment
is the battery life. Under normal usage, my BZ60 last s for 24 hours
before it started giving Low Batt alert. If I clock in more talk
time plus occasional use of camera, it would give you around 15
hours before running out of juice. A stylish phone is pointless
with no juice... I got my V3xx from a friend with Planet 3 thingy.
Maybe this Planet 3 package packed with low quality battery. I don't
know... The Good news: Being black, aluminium keypad, blue color
numbers and lines, I'd say it is one of the MOST stylish phones
available on the planet. Big screen with nice font and crisp display
pleased my eyes. Very good picture quality for a 1.3MP camera lens
compared to some SE and Nokia with the same pixel counts. Good reception
with good earpiece, mic and loudspeaker. The software has faster
response compared to its predecessors. Verdict: Big in style, small
in function. Suitable for people who seek stylish more than functions.
I'd give 3 stars if not for the disgraced battery life. Would not
feel bad nor hesitate to switch to other phone, compared to switching
from my SE W550i to this V3xx. Rating:

I've upgraded from the V3 after looking at a bunch of the newer

it. Its thin, and has big buttons. That simple. I'm a big fingered
30 something business user so I guess that suites me fine. I think
motorola designed one good phone that has one great feature - thinness
- and they really haven't moved on. If they updated the design and
improved the interface this would be a great phone. But don't get

use video call with my friends because obviously, not all of them
have this phone, or rather a phone that enables video calling...
about the 3.5g, of course it's nice. but practicality suggests that
this feature isn't a big deal anymore because most of us would just
download files from the internet using a pc, and just transfer these
to the phone using bluetooth or usb cable... all in all, i think
one can say that a phone is good if its camera is more developed,
and its design is a bit unique and different from others, because
one thing i have noticed about motorola phones is that they have
nearly same appearance despite of their difference in features and

Totally satisfied with this phone! Big improvement on the V3 and
V3i, both of which I have owned, particularly so far as reception
is concerned. With both the previous models I was unable to get
a reliable signal in my living room. With the V3xx I have no problem
at all. Also this is a beautifully made phone with quality materials.
It is very slightly larger than the V3 but you would have to put
them side by side to notice the difference. Highly recommended! Rating:

The V3xx is a great looking phone with it's impressive features.
the only downside to it is it's reception it's extremely poor i
lose signal in places that the V3 would have full reception. Now
that's dissapointing if an older model can out do the newer model.
I bought this phone becuz i wanted something that was louder than
the V3 and so it was louder but it lost connection the network ever
so often Rating:

This is by far the worst fone in the world. I got it 2 weeks ago
first day i charged it up and turn it on add 20 contacts and it
says memory full next day get a new one guess what after charging
it i opened it but then i can't close it it is jammed. Number three,
charge it up open it and the thing strats buzzing and won't stop.
By this time i can tell you i wasn't happy and three strikes and
your out of here. I took it back and they say because of your troble
we will give you a free upgrade, i agreed think that things can
only get better but the can get a lot worse. I charged up the new
Motorola maxx and when i opened it the whole top fell of i went
back to the shop but they can't refund me because it is misuse.
Well i was stuck with this junk so i smashed it with a hammer. What
a great waste of $239 i should of just givien it the cancer council.
I am gonna stick with good old Nokias as for you motorola you can
stick it up yours. Rating:

Love it!!! My previous phone was a basic Nokia brick with a black
and white screen and no other features whatsoever- so comparing
the V3xx to it is like comparing a Wright Flyer to a Concorde. (or
a ZX81 Spectrum PC to a Dual-Core Pentium 4! Oops- giving my age
away!) The only annoying feature (besides the fact that the browser
on the 3 network seems to be a total waste of time) is that the
"launch browser" button is directly under the "down arrow" button
on the keypad. I keep pressing it by mistake whilst texting. It
really could have done with being located somewhere else- or one
should at least be able to de-activate/reassign it. If someone knows
how to do this, let us all know woncha!!? Rating:

Got this phone free on up-grade from O2 it is jet black with silver
key pad and no dragon like pattern on the cover which i think is
the best for looks. Very slim but well made, far better features
than past V3's, i-mode is useful and camera is good but not the
best on the market, the video is very good. You can add microSD
which is alot cheaper than Sony memory cards, yes the phone design
is the same as the original but lets face it, had it been released
today we'd be all raving about it. Plus now with 3.5G great for
video calling distant friends and family. Great Phone ! Rating:

Compared to my old Motorola: - Really slim so easy to carry. Nice,
bright, clear screen. Good sized keypad - very easy to use. Very
good battery life. Lots of other stuff (MP3, camera/video & Bluetooth),
but still really good at the basics. The best mobile that I've had

got this as an upgrade from 3 and its the worst phone i ever had.
cant wait to go back to my 6680 i gave a friend. the reception/coverage
is cat. the signal bars fluctuate like crazy. dropping calls and
its very fustrating. was using it as a hsdpa modem with my xps laptop
and it was also pretty cat, moving the v3 would most likely cause
the connection to break. all in all, its too much hi tech gadgets
for moto to squeeze into a slim clamshell device. also the C(ancel)
key is directly above the red power down button, not good for sms......
cant wait to go back to a nokia! Rating:

This Phone is a very nice phone, but some sites are making the mistake
of saying its the upgrade for the V3X. The RAZR Vmaxx or RAZR V6maxx
as it is sometimes branded happens to be the upgraded V3X Rating:

I've waited very patiently for this phone to come available. For
the last few years I’ve been very happy with my Sony Ericsson’s
(K700, K750i, W800i) but I’ve been disappointed with their
selection of clam shell phones. They are all chunky and don’t
sit too comfortably in the hand. However, what Sony Ericsson lack
for in stylish handsets, they make up for in sophisticated software
and an operating system which is both advanced and very user friendly.
For the last few years, I’ve wanted to own a RAZR handset,
but have been put off by their basic software and lack of user friendly
operating system. So when I heard late last year that they were
bringing out the V3xx I was keen to get my hands on it. I had assumed
that it would keep the stylish award winning design of the RAZR,
but update the software and include a better operating system. I
had mine sent out to me at the beginning of January when O2 launched
the handset on their network. As expected when changing from Sony
Ericsson to Motorola, there were a lot of things to get used to.
Different menu settings, different ways to send text messages, and
the predictive text was a bit of a headache trying to learn. I’m
on O2, and they only offer the V3xx as part of their iMode service.
I’m not sure if this shows off the phone to the best of its
ability. Most of the iMode mobile browsing sites are not compatible
with this handset yet, so I can’t rate its 3G capabilities
at the moment. One of the main reasons I wanted a clam shell phone
is because I used to always get ‘head-burn’ when chatting
on my handsets in the past. All the Nokia and Sony Ericsson’s
I’ve had in the past hurt my head when I use them for more
than 10mins at a time. The Motorola RAZR design puts its battery
and antenna in the lower half of the phone – so that it is
furthest away from your head and brain when you are making a call.
It’s a simple concept, and I’ve found I can make a 40min
phone call on the V3xx and not even get head buzz from it. Not microwaving
my brain every time I make a call is a major point scorer for me.
I love the shape and style of the phone. The screen is one of the
biggest I’ve had on a handset and it’s really clear
to see in all lighting conditions. Overall, I wish I could run the
Sony Ericsson operating system on this Motorola. The software on
the phone seems very limited – or at least, it seems to restrict
you from doing things that you are able to do on other handsets.
For example, on Sony's you can chose to make your Bluetooth "Visible"
or "Hide" at all times when it is powered on. On the Motorola, you
have to select "Find Me" and this only makes the Bluetooth visible
for 3 minutes. There are no other options to change this setting.
The file system on the Motorola does not allow you to move photos
or music files into your own created folders. The messaging service
on my handset is frustrating, as texts come via SMS and multimedia
comes through iMode and into a different inbox. As not all V3xx
handsets are on the iMode service I can’t make this a criticism
of the phone. As far as making and receiving calls, this phone ticks
the boxes and does what it’s meant to do. In my book, if you
want an MP3 player, get an iPod. If you want an excellent camera,
go buy a Canon. What I’ve seen with the Sony Ericsson’s
is that they are trying to cram so much technology into their handsets
that they become unstable and there are more things to go wrong
on them. Having said that, by showing what mobile phones are capable
of, Sony Ericsson are certainly setting the standard as to what
a mobile handset should be capable of doing. Had this phone been
released 18 months ago, it would have got 5 out of 5 stars. Sadly,
I’m only able to give it 3 out of 5 stars (even though I really
like the phone and am happy with it). Had the camera been on par
with the 3m Mega Pixels of the Sony Ericsson’s or had an operating
system that was more user friendly then it would have scored more.
Please Motorola; keep the design and just update the software!!
