Motorola MAXX V6 Review
Review: January 2007. Updated June 2009.
The Motorola MAXX V6 is an updated version of the RAZR
V3X. It's an ultra-slim and lightweight 3G handset featuring touch
sensitive music keys on the front of the clamshell that light up when
in use. It's also the big brother of the Motorola
V3XX. In fact the RAZR MAXX is very similar to the V3XX. The only
real differences are the appearance of the phones and the fact that
the MAXX has a better camera. Both are slimline clamshells, but the
MAXX has a more futuristic look, with its combination of metal and glass
and the cool touch sensitive music keys. We'd like to point out that
touch sensitive keys, while they look fantastic, can be annoying to
use (the LG Chocolate and Samsung E900 have annoyed a fair number of
users). However, when used sparingly, for non-critical functions like
music, we don't think that they'll be a problem. And they do look fantastic
with the blue lighting!
Like the V3XX, the RAZR MAXX introduces a new technology called HSDPA
(High Speed Download Packet Access) which enables data to be downloaded
at speeds of up to 3.6 Mbps - that's 10x faster than conventional 3G
- and has been dubbed 3.5G. This means that you can make maximum use
of 3G network services, such as high resolution video calling at 15
frames per second, super-fast music downloading and streaming and live
TV on your phone. The MAXX and the V3XX are the first UK handsets to
feature this new technology, so this is a cutting edge device.
The MAXX has two cameras: a 2.0 megapixel camera for still photography,
and a VGA camera for video calling. Both are good. The video camera
is high resolution (640 x 480 pixels) and supports a frame rate of 15
frames per second. The main display is also excellent, with 256K colours
and a resolution of 240 x 320 pixels.
Music is definitely one of the core features of the MAXX. The stereo
MP3 player supports the most common digital music formats (MP3, AAC
& AAC+) and you can plug in either a USB headset or a wireless stereo
Bluetooth headset (both optional extras). Sound quality is excellent.
64-voice MP3 ringtones are also supported. The useable memory is just
50 Mbytes, which is enough to store around 10 songs, but you can expand
the memory using a microSD memory card. No memory card is supplied
with the phone, but you can buy these relatively cheaply now, and the
microSD format cards are available at up to 2 Gbytes.
The battery life of the MAXX has been improved compared with the V3X.
Bluetooth and USB 2.0 connectivity are supported, and all the standard
features that you'd expect from a modern phone (MMS, email, web browser,
etc) are present. Although it's very slighter thicker than the V3XX,
we prefer the RAZR MAXX because of its improved camera and cool appearance.
Features of the Motorola MAXX V6 include:
- 3G video calling
- 2 megapixel camera with 8x digital zoom
- Video camera (640 x 480 pixels, 15 frames/second, MPEG4 format)
- Main display: 256,000 colours, 320 x 240 pixels (2.2 inches)
- External display: 120 x 160 pixels, 64,000 colours
- Stereo MP3 player (MP3/AAC/AAC+ formats)
- MP3 ringtones
- Java games
- Messaging: SMS, EMS, MMS, Email (POP3, IMAP4,
- Phonebook (1,000 entries)
- Memory: 50 Mbytes plus microSD memory card slot (expandable
to 2 Gbytes)
- Connectivity: Bluetooth, USB 2.0
- WAP 2.0, EDGE Class 10, GPRS Class 10, HSDPA 3.6 Mbps
- Opera web browser
- Vibration alert
- Triband (GSM 900/1800/1900) plus 3G (WCDMA 2100)
- Size: 105 x 53 x 15.5 mm
- Weight: 100g
- Talktime: 175 minutes (120 minutes when video calling)
- Battery standby: 350 hours

I brought this phone and within the 6 months i have had too send it
back to get fixed because off faults including, key pads not workin
only the hang up button (turning phone on and off), screen cutting out
and turning black with all front lights turned on and the camara flash
continusle flickering on and off, music changing 30 secounds into the
song but still says it play the other, photos automaticly turning into
white thumb nails so then turned phone off and back on then all photos
turned into the same image then i got out of media and back in then
the photos became currupt(lost a heap off memories that can never be
replaced), and more so i honislty think that the $250 i payed for this
phone was very poor although i do know some one with the same phone
and has had it for a year and has not seen one single fault.

I've had this phone for 18mths now and it's never let me down. I bought
a hard crystal case for it when I first had it, which has protected
the glass front and stopped it getting scratched. The camera is only
2 mgp but takes amazing photo's, I've been more than pleased with the
quality, as good if not better than my digital camera. Easy to use,
good signal strength, audio is good, I can't fault it. It was my first
Moto and I'm loathe to stop using now I've upgraded to a Viewty. I dont
think the Viewty will match my Maxx for ease of use and hard wearing.
This phone has been in my bag, thrown in the dash of my car, dropped
several times, and used daily, and has never ever let me down once.
I can only highly recommend it.

I do like Motorolas and this was a great phone initially but I did have
problems with the keypad freezing, this was after 8 months or so - with
no warning. The only button that would work was the power button. I
took it back but it did the same thing after being fixed. So far, the
replacement has been working fine. It is easy to use, has a good camera
and is stylish. So due to the freezing only 3 stars for me.

I had this phone for almost a year - and loved it. It did everything
I could possibly want to it to do, and got a lot of satsfaction from
it, although the software could freeze frm time to time, and scrolling
thorugh phone book entries could be slow. One day I was about to use
it and it had inexplicably gone dead. (Battery was fully charged and
had not provided problems. I was unable to get a replacement. A great
phone while it worked, but the fact it died even before the warranty
was gone was dissapointing. - I havce been informed the sluggish behaviour
and the sudden death of the handset were probably software problems.

I think this phone is very poorly designed. I used it for a week before
I took it out of my bag to find the glass cover cracked. It hadn't been
dropped or knocked against anything. Three weeks later I'm still waiting
for it to be repaired but Motorola keep arguing its my fault. I'm pretty
upset with being accused of damaging the phone. Why design a phone with
a glass cover that can't stand up to being carried around in your handbag?

I totally love this phone. This is my 2nd Motorola phone. I used to
have the L7 Silver and I was very happy with it. Based on my experience
with Motorola, I've decided to buy another one (Maxx V6). So far, I
have no regrets. But I'm quite concerned about the battery life. It's
almost everyday that I need to charge. I'm thinking of buying another
one even if it's from my own pocket. I've never had a better phone.
Apparently, this is the best.

Had the phone less than 6 months, I am currently waiting for my 5th
replacement as it is dead. The previous 4 phones were swapped out within
2 weeks of getting the 'upgrade'. Dodgy software when texting and keys
stick when dying. Battery life absolutely appalling especially if you
use it for business as well as pleasure and need to use the phone throughout
the day. Nowhere near as good as the V3 range. Orange are completely
useless, they keep swapping it out and will only offer me alternatives
of the worst phones out there that are huge, heavy and totally unappealing
so I am stuck with the useless MAXX for another 8 months until my business
contract runs out.

This phone is aight. I can tell u that the camera is good for a 2.0
mega pixel and recording a video is so horrible. It looks choopy. I
also have the samsung E730, that has a 1.3 mega pixel camera and i can
tell u that phone records wayyyyy much better then this one. Anyways,
the mp3 player is also great and loud. Louder then the V3x. I have a
2gb memory card for this phone with about about 300 songs. I hate when
u upload a song to the phone and to play the song u just uploaded u
have to go through so many other songs on the list. While on the V3x
when u upload a song, the song is currently the 1st mp3 on the list.
The speaker is so loud when playin mp3's but when talking its low. I
also like how fast u can go through the menu and stuff very fast compared
to the v3x, its freezes alot. Last but not least the battery life on
this phone is horrible. U can be on the phone for 45 mins and by the
time u check their's only 1 bar left. Crazy!

Do not buy this phone i repeat do not buy this phone. The phone died

its now time to buy a new one. Well just before i went to buy anything,
i tried my battery in my friends's V3t and it works. Fully charged and
everything. But on my phone it doesnt even works. Called motorola and
they basically said they can't do notthing about it cuz its not a U.S
phone. According to them U.S motorola phones and japanese motorola phones
(like this one) are built with diffrent versions in it. So there go
my 1 yr warranty. Wat a waste.... Like i said i do not recommend this
phone to anybody. It may or may not have happen too other people who

This phone is one of the best looking phones currently available and
being a motorolo you wont get the protection of a nokia or the music
capabilities of a sony ericson, but as a general phone, (remember it
is a phone -not an mp3 or camera - they are bonuses), being more stylish
and cheaper than some of the heavyweights makes it a good choice, plus
not many people have them so you can show of to the masses of D900 owners
a cheaper better looking phone. Mine works fine ive never had a problem
and i see the battery as acceptable 4-5 days i can get out of an overnight
change had 6 months nothing gone wrong. Doesnt sratch unless your careless,
like ANY phone. NOTE Please dont say this phone is fragile, its a flip
and therefor has a hinge, all flips are the same. The phone is sturdy
enough you realy shouldnt damage a phone i mean how can you the worst
thing that could happen is it fall of a table about 4 feet hardly going
to break. Scratches are a result on careless owners not a manurfacture.

But i have a bad experience with this phone. THE SECOND DAY i got this

wont go off. i tried restarting the phone and everything but the alarm
sign is still there. And the phone's flip feels oddly loose as if its
going to fall off. i send the phone to the nearest MOTOROLA SERVICE
CENTRE and i had to leave my phone day for a day to get the alarm problem
fixed. But the loose flip..they said, they cant do anything. (in a rude

with a formatted phone..AGAIN. (3 times. Imagine the hasle of transferring
phone book contacts) Oh yeah.. and at the same time, some menu was in

Aesthetically, this phone is a blast. As many of the reviews would already
have told you, it is a head-turner and being my first motorola phone,
I absolutely enjoy using its programme. One point to note is that the
manufacturers installed the speakers at the back of the phone, so when
you decide to broadcast music and settle the phone on the table, the
sound gets muffled. That is one major design flaw. Besides that little
glitch, it is one excellent choice as a phone and the ITAP is growing

not getting text messages!!! This is VERY annoying. I'm with Ornage,
but have never had a problem with them or my previous motorolas. It
happens when sent from other Orange and O2 users. Nobody seems to know
why this is happening but if orange don't sort it out i'll have to revert
to my trusty old slvr!!! The rest of it is great though... the blue
neons flashing on the cool glass front! Camera is excellent especially

phone is exactly like the V3x but slightly thinner and better looks.

Had this phone about a week now and i'm very impressed with it. Looks
fantastic and both screens are excellent. Camera is fine, not the best
i've ever seen but perfectly acceptable for fun snaps when out and about
which is the only thing I ever use a phone camera for. I've always been
a big lover of Samsungs and I was worried about deviating to another
brand but I have no regrets. The menu system isnt quite as simple as
Samsungs, but it certainly isnt complicated! I do find that Motorola
ITAP texting system is so so much better than T9 once you get used to
it! Overall i'm very impressed with this phone!

Terrible phone. Ive had to swap mine three times since January of this
year!! First time, the battery went after one 2 minute telephone call!
(it had been on charge for 18 hours!!) -- declared faulty. Second time,
the camera function stopped working, destorted all of my stored photos
and froze my phone --- declared fauly! Third time, the vibrate doesnt
vibrate anymore ---phone currently being "repaired". DO NOT BUT THIS
PHONE!! IT IS TERRIBLE!!

I've had a few Moto flips now. V3 - then the V3i - both nice looking
fashion phones. The MAXX walks the line between fashion and features.
I noticed straight away that the MAXX is much faster when texting and
blasting through menus than the V3i ever was. The rubber / metal / glass
combo has a nice feel to it. The front glass looks nice, but can be
easily scratched if you're not careful! Nice phone though, Moto fans
shouldn't hesistate to buy!

Poo poo...terrible phone. Feels cheap, it's way too fussy on the front,
and is basically an utter pain in the backside to operate. It's cumbersome,
unappealing and way too masculine. What a total disappointment from
Motorola, seen as though the V3i and the Krzr were so good. This is
going straight back and i'm swopping to the LG Shine. One word of advice...DON'T

Okay I've had this phone for about two weeks now. Previously I had the
V3 and the V3X so I am no stranger to Motorola or the Razr style phones.
It's pretty good. Certinaly an improvement in a few key ways. The internet
browser is far superior and finally you can browse any web-sites (not
just restricted to mobile phone friendly ones). The interface is a bit
fiddly to browse, but it's not a blackburry and if you wanted one then
get one. Music-wise - pretty good. Playlists can be created, and the
soft-touch screen makes it into a reasonable MP3 player. The speaker
is way better than either of the previous models. It is now possible
to hear what is coming out of it without having to sit in a really quiet
room and hold the back of the phone close to your head. Were I to drive
and put the phone on speaker phone (not something I'd do in the UK as
it may be against the law) then it would be easy to hear messages or
hold a conversation even with road-noise. However I have to say the
styling is nowhere near as good as the original V3. The V3X wasn't as
good-looking either. To be honest I think the metal look and feel of
the first phone was half of what was so cool about it. Shame really.

So sorry to rain on your Samsung parade there Ivor but you are misinformed
with the details,Motorola are the first to feature HSDPA 3.6Mbps (10
x conventional 3G )in their phones. Samsung however only have the inferior
older standard of HSDPA 1.8Mbps thats HALF THE SPEED of the technology
this phone uses!!! As for the phone itself it looks like the team is
back to its usual classic acievements ie a phone that is actually easy
on the eye, as opposed to a grotesque lump of metal and/ or plastic
a la Nokia Samsung or Sony E., while also importantly at the same time
carrying out its stated functions in an effective, competent mannor
ie in direct contrast to the LG 'style "phones" '( allegedly phones
but completely unrecognisable as such among the functional characteristics
of present day mobiles) ENJOY!

I've had this phone a couple of days now, and for a first time motorola
user I've been pleasantly surprised. I was reluctant to get the phone
but so far its proved to be a good decision. The menu is very easy to
understand, although I had to check the instructions a few times, nothing
major though. The text messaging if you haven't used motorola before
is a little different but after a couple goes at it I'm pretty much
used to it. It's very well made, especially compared to the V3, especially
at the hinge. Both displays are very impressive, big and bright. The
music player is very well thought out and easy to use, and the touch
sensitive controls on the front is very good. The camera isn't as good
as my last phone, SE K750i, which had autofocus, etc, but it's good
quality none-the-less, it is, after all, a mobile phone! I was worried
about the 'solidness' and durability of it, having seen my friends V3s
break easily, but so far I can't see any problems with it. In my opinion,
its a very good phone. I wanted a change from the conventional SE or
Nokia phones, and also the Samsung phones which everyone seems to have,
and I think I've made a good choice. Hope this helps.

I have had the phone for a few weeks now and having owned the V3i and
V3x find this to be the best of the bunch. For starters keypad layout
beats the V3i and speed of operation/reliability beats the V3x. I always
make a point of owning 1 clamshell and 1 candy bar design phone. This
is the best of the clamshells around (I have owned a few including SE
Z610i and Samsung E700,E720,E730,E780). Main display and front display
are top quality. Camera quality is good too, although flash is not up
to Sony Ericsson standards. The iTap texting can be awkward at first
but after a while improves texting speed greatly. The clarity of sound
is excellent to/from caller/recipient during calls. Battery life is
excellent. HSPDA makes downloads very much quicker. Bluetooth has connected
with everything I have asked it to and quickly. Menu layout is also
easy to navigate once you get used to it. But the main thing this phone
will sell on is looks and it doesn't disappoint. Chemically hardened
glass on front may be finger smudge magnet but is offset well by the
black anodised aluminium casing. Phone lights up in a choice of 3 styles
when receiving calls/texts. Keypad also is well illuminated in same
cool blue colour. Phone is not quite so slim as V3i but is a good deal
slimmer than V3x. Only downside is that mine only has 3 background skins
and not the usual Moto one and cannot find anywhere yet to download
them. As I mentioned earlier I keep 1 clamshell design and 1 candy bar
design but since I received the Maxx I haven't touched my Sony Ericsson
W810i despite the fact that it is technically superior in almost every
way and is also a delight to own! I have no hesitation in recommending
the Maxx to the techno junkie or the style freak or Joe Public in general!
Buy and enjoy!!

good phone but a couple of months ago I was washing up and I put my
jeans in the washing machine and all the water came into the machine
and then I realised that my phone was in my jeans so I opened the door
and took my jeans out and then got my phone but it dident switch on.
Then i noticed that the phone had broken. But this motorola phone is
ten times better than the samsung D500!

are extremely easy to understand. The downloading from my PC is easy
to set up and use, with instructions all the way. MP3 player is very
well thought out and displayed. Easy to get your real ringtones and
own message alerts too. Very impressed with the MAXX V6. Sturdy, workable
menus, idiot-proof. Well done Motorola!
