To put it simply the V3 looks great!!, The V3 works just O.k. I previously owned the Motorola V330 and I was very happy with the way that phone functioned, My only problem was that I wanted something slimmer that would not bulge when I had on a suit. I bought the razr about a month ago and I can honestly say that it does not work as well as the V330. I have trouble hearing callers unless I hold the phone just right and even with the blue tooth, ( I have both the Motorola HS850 and the HS700)the volume is still a bit low. I have also encountered drop calls periodically with the razor that I didn't get with the V330 Both phones are with T-moble. lastly the Razr is extremely easy to scratch, BUY A COVER. As I type this I am wondering if the reception problems are due internal vs. external antennas?. All in all I am not that impressed with the razr's functionality only with it's form. the V330 works just as well if not better and for the money one would expect the razor to be a bit sharper.
