I've had so many poor experiences with cell phones, that I'm finally thrilled to own a phone that meets almost every need I have! In addition to having about 90% of the features that I require in a nice phone, the Motorola RAZR V3 is extremely attractive and is very affordable. The phone does NOT feel like a toy and I don't think you'll have to worry about breaking it with great usage. It's a Motorola phone that has been designed to deliver all of the "goodies", but focusing on quality.I've experienced only 4 calls being dropped in a 4 month period. The clarity of calls is unsurpassed, as far as my experience goes, and the controls on the side of the phone (volume, etc.) make it simple to make changes to your current call. You won't be fumbling around and you'll find yourself wondering how you could have ever carried a different style flip phone in the past!Everyone has certain features that they like to have in a cellular phone-some many focus on ring tones, while others require that their phone have a speaker phone. Choosing a good phone can be frustrating and often quite confusing. It helps to listen to others who have already bought the phone and are now locked into whichever Cellular Phone Agreement that applies to them.As far as design is concerned, the V3's surpasses the typical clamshell design and raises the bar to a higher level with the impressive aluminum construction. You'll enjoy a very large color display (176 x 220)with 220,000 colors-yes, 220,000 colors! The outside cover has a full color display (98 x 80)and will allow you to see Caller Information, Photos, Signal Strenth and the Time! With too many features to tell you about, you'll find most all of the phones features and on-screen menus by utilizing the sleek 5-way center button on the backlit control panel!The price through Amazon and through some other sites are incredible. I tried getting the same phone through the provider I have and it was about $99.00 on sale. I chose to purchase it online and agreed to sending in the Rebate-which was promptly sent to me.The phone is not perfect. If you buy a Motorola RAZR V3 and have any problems with service or the phone, contact the seller or the service provider. There is ALWAYS a chance of getting a "Lemon", but don't let that totally discourage you!
