the UI isnt crappy at all..

it's actually very easy to use..

i love moto's UI it's just a shame they don't release a phone with good specs or i'd be there..

don't exagerate, its not 3 years! its 2 1/2 years! I do remember creating this thread not long after it became available and I paid £380 for my V3 which I still have to this day.

only the V3i has tempted me since and I soon returned that after getting it but not even the KRZR etc has appealed since the original v3

these ones don't go any way to interesting me much either, unfortunately. wasn't there some chatter half a year ago or so abot a new UI from motorola. I don't think we've seen that yet have we?

@masseur but dont u think, that razr style is a bit outdated? i have to admit, if i try to think with a moto fan brain, v3 was a success, so motot wanna offer the same style what made it succesfull ( finally ) outside the usa as well... maybe thats the reason.

even, for me its really boring to see the same since v3...

I don't think people, in general, will get bored with thin fairly stylish phones and that is what motorola are counting on

Hi all,

I have owned Moto's at various times 8000s the first Portable well kind of, the follow up and much reduced in size 8800x and the StarTac and V3. I thought the new improved Moto UI was already implemented in the RIZR and KRZR.

I haven't seen the RIZR but my brother has the KRZR and I almost got tempted at CPW one day (before he got it) until I saw it was the same UI as V3

nothing wrong with it as such, but I had heard there was a new UI and expected to see it in the KRZR

I thought the new UI was in the V3x and the E2. Actually what is really sad is that they don't market their good devices all around the world. I'm talking Ming/A1200 and the E6.
