Motorola is planning to produce a whole line of phones based on their RAZR V3 phone. The company plans to produce different colors of the phone can anyone say iPod?including a candy bar phone called the silver.

I hope not..Don't think we need anymore gadgets with the "i" prefix ...But it does have a nice ring to it.

It will be interesting to see what the new line of Razr's will like look...Lets hope they have at least better features than the V3,because for me at least the V3 is purely just eye candy and not much else.

I don't even think the v3 is nice.
Yes its thin but by God its wide & pretty damn ugly!
The features are nothin out of the ordinary.
It will be interesting to see a whole RAZR range though

I don't like V3 but I do think Moto can create good phones, the question is why Moto doesn't do it.... |

If the RAZR V3 is doing very well in the market, its good business sense to build on that. Hopefully, the entire line-up of RAZRs will continue the standard the V3 has set.
Not that I like the V3 myself. All looking good, but nothing special, IMO.

Hi all
I bought my first mobile in 1988 it was a Motorola "battery with a hand set on top" but it was simple and did the job well even if it only gave about 40 mins service before it needed a recharge! I also had another moto (cant remember what it was called) and one of the first Startac's all of which seemed to be reliable and simple to use, I quite like the idea of a Razr as a compliment to my P900 as it is nice and slim made of metal and has a neat keypad, OK perhaps it's not as well feaqtured as some SE kit but purely"eye candy"? not sure thats being very fair, it isnt really claiming to be a smart phone, why do so many people seem to dislike motorola kit or am I imagining it? ps Mik's tip stopped my P900 creaking nice one mate cheers.
I have owned the ... T68i T610, P800, P900, P910, P990, W950, P1, W960 But SE have now totally lost the plot. |

The Motorola V3 is rubbish!
Why?
I work in one of the biggest phone stores in Australia (it's the biggest in the state, Queensland) and the V3 is our biggest-selling phone by far, yet we're getting nearly half of what we sell come back with charging problems; we're getting 5-10+ come back a day (we're having the same problem with the Motorola V620)!
It's gotten THAT bad that our Managers have told us to discourage the purchase of a V3 at all costs, telling us to avoid them if possible!

I've had 2 V3s so far and have experienced any charging problems with either?
I would expect most people buy the V3 for its styling rather than its functionalitym certainly I think thats my main reason!

yeah..
i guess if people are more inclined towards style than functionality (and this is like large part of the higher end market), the v3 will do phenomenally well.
as far as a complete range of v3 phones goes, i think it is a good idea, since they're banking on a concept that is already well known.. so marketing costs will be lower and there'll be a lot of space to actually expand the market. |

I certainly don't like this black approach that moto have taken so I hope they have some more shiny ones

Masseur,
Totally agree with you on that one. I purchased a Sony T3 5meg phone and returned it the same day for the brushed alluminium one.... why? because the darn thing scratches and chips like there is no tomorrow...
