The Moto Razr V3 is expertly crafted to deliver exceptional performance. Inside the ultra-thin design are advanced features like MPEG4 video playback, Bluetooth® wireless technology, a digital camera and more. And with the precision-cut keypad, minimalist styling and metal finish, the V3 looks just as beautiful as it performs. The real difference is in the details. See who’s calling, in color, without opening your phone — the large internal display is complemented by an impressive external display. The precision-cut metal keypad reacts to the lightest of touches. And the features you can’t always see are equally impressive, like quad-band GSM — for global calls where GSM network coverage and roaming agreements are present.

The GadgeteerI love this phone. Its thin, its light, its feature-full, and does its primary job better than my previous phone – the XDA II. The battery life seems good. Reception is great. The UI is great in most areas. The LCD screen on both the inside and outside is fantastic. |

Good Gear GuideMyriad features are packed into this stunning piece of industrial design, and a rich list of bundled extras only sweetens the deal. |

LAPTOP MagazineUltimately, the Razr V3 isn’t about bells and whistles. It’s about turning heads when you’re using it and disappearing in your pocket when you’re not. And it passes both tests with flying colors. |

The Star OnlineOverall, what Motorola has delivered with the V3 is a high-grade mobile phone that not only emphasises style but is also backed by great features. This makes it attractive to those who don’t necessarily fall into the V3’s “target” audience comprising fashionistas, jetsetters, and high-flying professionals. |

MobileBurn.comOver the past 24 months or so, few newly launched devices have elicited as many “Ooohs” and “Ahhhs” as Motorola’s aptly named RAZR V3. And rightly so. The RAZR lives up to its name, sporting one of the thinnest profiles of any phone on the market – let alone any other clamshell phone. In fact, the bottom half of the RAZR, where the keypad and battery reside, is a mere 8mm (.31”) thick. |

Lordpercy.comBut you probably won’t buy the Motorola V3 Razr for any of those real reasons instead your gadget heart will, mainly because it it looks fantastic in fact it looks like something a modern James T Kirk would use when within reach of one of earths GSM networks and at well under 100 grams and 14mm thick it makes a stunning impression on everyone who sees it and then those who hold a V3 Razr won’t put it down. |

Mobile-review.comSumming up, we can say the following: the model is very convenient in every day usage. It is flat and you can wear it everywhere you want. |

JiWireThe Motorola Razr V3 is a delightful phone to hold and use. It’s a head-turner for sure, but it’s also a great companion while you’re on the go. Where it falls short is in high-end smarphone features: if you need a powerful PIM and email workhorse, you won’t find it here. |

phoneArena.comOverall, this phone is still a buy if you are looking for a real sleek looking phone now that prices are dropping. It can satisfy all of the average user’s needs and I would describe it as “beautiful and basic.” |

PC MagThe Motorola Moto Razr V3 is the ultimate see-and-be-seen phone for style mavens who don’t care about price. |

Pocket-lintOverall the Razr V3 is a stunning mobile phone. Slim and metallic, the whole handset presentation screams of futuristic minimalism while harking back to the childhood sci-fi of audience it’s aimed at. |

SLCentralThis phone gives probably one of the best examples of form over function. The price of this phone is solely because of its razor thin design, and nothing else. While it does have some nice features, phones that you can get for free with a new contract probably can compete. |

The Wall Street JournalThe Razor clearly isn’t for everyone. But it’s a great balance of form and function that I hope will inspire slimmer and sleeker phones at lower prices. |

CNETThe original thin phone, the Motorola Razr V3 has a sexy design and useful features, but its performance isn’t always up to par. |

Techtree.comChances are, you’re reading this because you like the way the phone looks and the attention it commands, and in that sense – the phone will give you all the clean-shaven attention you crave for. But if you’re looking to impress with “cutting-edge technology” and “unstoppable functionality”, the Razr leaves a stubble. |

MoBique.comIt doesn’t matter how many great features it has (not that it has anything fancy or exciting to brag about!) To have a learning curve that’s long and steep is simply going to bring greater frustration and agony to its user – especially for a device that, in this day and age, does more than just offer voice communications. |

Mobile Phones UKThe V3 is a great phone, designed primarily for its looks, but with a pretty good specification too. As always with this type of phone, the functionality is reduced because of the phone’s size, but it has a reasonably good feature set. |
