I brought it last year because I don't want to carry an mp3 player and a phone at the same time. I was extremely disappointed that when I brought the phone that it does not include itunes and it turns out that there are 2 different versions of v3i- one with itunes installed and another with DAP (motorola's digital audio player.) I ended upgrading the phone with a firmware which allows you to have both itunes, with 100 song limit and DAP, (just google dmatt). I got lucky and it comes with a 256mb card, but I upgraded to a FAR 512mb microsd card. By all means, this does not replace an ipod or anything like that but I am not picky about mp3 players. The itunes that it comes with is simple at best, and it does not support some mp3 formats and I had to reencode them to make it work.Pro'sLooks the same as the razr v3Allows you to sync with your outlook contacts and calendarbluetooth supportCall quality is pretty goodMp3 with Itunes (not as good as ipod though)Cons:No EDGE supportSometimes you have to reboot the razr because it does not read the memory cardTransfer from pc to phone is slow.

I got this phone a couple days ago and I am very impressed it has some pros and cons. I never used a regular v3 so I can't really compare it to that. I don't understand what one of the reviews was talking about saying the phone book is hard all you have to do is start search then you can type in the first letter of the name you want to get to and it'll take you to the names in your phone book that start with that letter, but thats neither here nor there.Some things you want to consider before you order this unlocked non North American version of this phone. Not all V3i's come with itunes, only Australia, NZ, Indonesia, India, Singapore, Malaysia, Philippines, Vietnam, Turkey, South Africa, Rest of Africa, North Africa, Israel, Thailand, and finally Middle East versions of the V3i come with itunes. Is the one amazon is selling from one of those markets I don't know, I got mine off ebay. But even if it doesn't come with itunes you can still listen to mp3s off of it within the motorola mp3 player software which I think is called Digital Audio Player or DAP for short.Alright the phone feels and looks great, and the camera quality is damn good considering the size of this phone and the fact that is indeed a PHONE with a CAMERA and not a CAMERA with a PHONE. Here is a link to a picture I took with the camera at work. http://is.rely.net/1-565-45832-l-HmgUZw2FmBwpjBF1aT9fMw.jpg . This phone is semi customizable like being able to change your wallpaper and having your own mp3 ringtones, via a usb cable. Like I said my version came with cable, data software, itunes and stereo head phones I don't know what this version comes with. Next I'll list pros and cons.PROS:Small sizeLooks GreatGood reception and sound qualityCustomizable featuresMp3 player capabilitiesTakes fine photos and videoIn my opinion easy to use and straight forward navigationSpeaker phone is loud and clearCONS:iTunes seems to limit the number of songs you can have depending on what size transflash you have. For example with my 256 card it only lets me have 50 songs and on a 512 card it'll only let you have 100 songs.A delicate phone, I use extra caution handling this phoneFront screen resolution could be better, but gets the job doneIncluded java games suckIn closing I think this phone is well suited for me, by being slim, customizable and having mp3 playback. Even if it does cap me at 100 songs my walk to and from work is quite a short distance anyway this way I can just keep the ipod plugged in the car and just use my phone for music.

Just got this phone and used it for 1 day. The battery, fully charged overnight, lasted about 8 hours, with about 1.5 hours of talk time.The phone is set up for some asian country. It was a nightmare to program for web access and multimedia messaging. The voice interface is horrendous! The accent of the voice is very thick, and it is very difficult to get it to recogize names in the phonebook.Additionally, the call quality is poor. It constantly sounded like it was on the fringes of a reception area even when showing 5 bars of signal strength. I am an amateur radio operator, and am thoroughly familiar with the vagaries of radio operation, and this problem was definitely with the phone.I have had a RAZR V3 for some time now, and the interface is similar enough to be able to figure out, but the phone is going back to Amazon.

This is the first unlocked phone that I've bought from Amazon. The phone looks amazing and the motorola logo lights up blue (which more people mention than all of the other features combinded). The camera is upgraded, but its not too much of a difference than the normal ones. The phone is pretty different than what I expected to get. First of all, the amazon phone does NOT ship with iTunes, but comes with the DAP (which I don't consider a problem because the iTunes one has a song limit and this one doesn't). The only things I am dissapointed with is that this one (unlike Cingular's one from the store) does not ship with a MicroSD, but you can buy a 1gb on amazon for maybe $30. It's definitely not for America because it shipped with multiple language manuals and an adaptor for the charger. Stil a pretty good buy because its unlocked and it costs less than the cingular v3i with no contract (it still costs less even if you signed up for a 1yr contract).

I agree with the other reviewer that this phone stores the same contacts multiple times. i.e. same name with cell, home, work and email address would be stored as 4 different entries. So now if you have 100 contacts stored on your phone with four different numbers(cell,home,work,email etc), there will be 400 entries stored in your phone. and if you have to browse through then there are 400 entires to go through. Very very annoying feature.Did Motorola ever tested this phone before releasing. I guess not. What a waste of money. I am giving it 2 stars only because I am able to make phone calls with it!

I never had a phone give so much trouble as this phone. I brought this phone in October 2006 and it worked well initally, but now (less than one year after) it acts crazy and you press one button the volume goes up and sometimes blanks out totally!Also the battery doe snot hold a charge for any lenght of time. I regret buying this phone. Back to nokia for me.Please note, I am not alone, I have 2 friends experiencing the same problems.

I purchased this phone unlocked about two months ago. I am not sure why it is not readily available in any US store. There seems to be a lot of confusion out there about this phone. The V3I is awesome. Hands down the best cell phone device that I have EVER purchased. The itunes capability is great, even though the song limit is 50, it works great as an ipod back up. The sound is as good as you can expect and you can listen to your itunes songs over the speaker without having to use any headphones. The best thing about this phone is the removable transflash card that can be used (up to 1gb) that can be used to store songs, use as a thumb drive, or whatever you would need a 1gb worth of space for. In addition, the one megapixel camera is a definite upgrade from the old V3. Also, the video capability is awesome. Unlike its predecessor's, the V3i will take as long of video as your memory will hold (three minutes, thirty minutes etc). The looks and feel of this phone are amazing too. The gunmetal look stands out among the sea of normal RAZR phones. Also, I love the front blue light, which you can program to flash differently for different things. The only problem with the phone is the fact that you cannot purchase it at any United States phone dealers. You either have to purchase it here or someplace like eBay. I purchased mine on eBay for about $250. Go for this one, you wont be disappointed.

I thought I would be getting a phone that was essentially the same as the one for sale in the Cingular store. When I got this one I found that there was no iTunes player and in fact I could not find any Music player at all. The speed dial buttons continued to say they were empty when pushed despite the fact that the entries in the address book clearly listed the speed dials as assigned. Some of the network features did not work - I suspect someone with ability to hack the phone may get this to work. Charger that came was Large and bulky European version with and adaptor. Otherwise the phone was fine and funtional as far as I could tell. Just be sure you understand that all the features may not be the same as a US version.

I really wanted this phone and still love the design and features. However, I happened to get a phone with some of the problems other reviewers had noted. The phone cuts off a lot with a "white face" display and "no service" indicator. Is embarrassing at times because I drop callers. Also, the gunmetal finish is beginning to strip in small dots at places and has gotten 1 or so scratches. I keep my phone in a padded case and am pretty gentle with it. Also, the charger that came with it was for Europe with an adaptor which seems to have a short. So I had to buy an adaptor for U.S.So, the above raises the issue of whether the value promised in view of the price charged by the manufacturer is given.

I am using the cellphone in Argentina, and I cannot send or recieve messages or see the number of an incoming call. It may be because I'm using it here. The rest works perfectly.

My post is mainly for the bad review given by Giovanni.I got my Razr v3i for my wife, and got it from ebay.Mine is not defintely for American, but in any case, I do not have any problem with1. isync, so no need to edit But I agree with "denomalizing", this is same as other moto phone.2. No hard reset so far3. itunes works with NO problem. itunes' m4p also works. In fact, the only reason I bought this is itunes, but I have to add : sound quality is mediocre. (It doesn't matter with my wife, since she doesn't have keen ear). In ebay, there are some items - instructions to add itunes to this phone - at 10-30 dollars. I didn't try it yet and I didn't hear the success story. But it seems to me that it is possible to add, even if it only has moto's mp3 player.So, basically, I do not have any (significant) problem and I did not pay $349. My complaint would be no regular headphone jack and no bluetooth ad2p profile. I got the phone (ebay), 1gig transflash sd (amazon) and stereo headphone (from ebay) and three year warranty from ebay and in total, I paid $300. I don't think it is much cheaper than ipod nano + cheap phone, but it is very nice to have two in one piece.

The reviews are generally correct. However, this phone will not pair with a Mac. "Some" (I cannot find which) V3is do not work via Bluetooth with Macs according to web postings. I was able to sync via USB easily, and iTunes also worked flawlessly. I depend on Bluetooth syncing, however, so was very disappointed.

Ok. This phone is a big disappointment. The menus are horribly difficult to use and not user-friendly at all, even after a while. They simply are not logically organized. It may be nice and thin, which are the two main reasons for purchasing it but i find it confusing. Nokia has the best menus. i thought Ericson was bad but this really tops even them.

I just got my V3i at a bargain price as it is now an "old" model. I just use it solely as a phone (not intend to use the music player, dc, WAP, etc.) and find it to be a master piece. It is also a collectable. The battery life is excellent too as opposed to other comments.Get one fast while it is still available on the market.

This is the best phone I ever owned. Reception is very good, battery life is good, ring is audible, and quality of voice is very good. Mine already came with ear phone, USB cable, leather case and 256MB memory card. There are a few things that are not so good: - Need to clean cover frequently (it gets easily smudged); - MP3 sound is not perfect (well this is a phone not a MP3 player); - Once when I switched the GSM card it reverted to Kanji characters and I had a hard time to find the English option ;)

I just gave it one star because I know that when you look for reviews people look at the bad reviews, so I wanted to catch your attention..This is a PERFECT phone!I can not believe the nonsense people write here, I was afraid that when I will buy it I will not have the ability to search people, or to pick up the phone with out hitting the speaker phone.Up until know I still don't understand what the HELL they where talking bout?The speaker phone button is INSIDE the phone, there is no way of pushing it, plus you can not put any button on the side unless you are total clumsy.When you want to search people you can search them in two ways, like in nokia or search engine, I really don't understand the people who write here, maybe they talk about the older v3 model.

the phone is sick.. i found it more like a device to get girls.. the phone looks sexier than any other models you like. only problem is my ear piece broke so i had to use the speaker everytime i make a phone call. other than that its a cool phone. people give this phone horroble ratings because of one thing, like the first one who rated this phone on amazon. he said the voice recognition sucks. yes at first i had trouble with it but the trick is you have to speak the word correctly and how you would actually say it. talk like the phone does.

WEll i just recived my motorola razor v3i and for some reason the sender found it nessicary not to send me half of the accessories i needed for my phone to work in the mannor it was ment for. And to top it off they do not have a way for me to contact them for me to recive the rest of the things they neglected to send me. So i do not recommend buying this product from this site. If they railroaded me with their hijinx who knows who else they are tying to give the shaft to.

As of 2/6/2006 - most Mac users are able to sync via USB or Bluetooth but not through both - it seems to depend on where the product was intended for (Euro or Asia) but it seems to be able to sync through one or the other.As for the address book problem (s), Motorola has also updated the software along the way but unlike computer OSes, it's not always readily apparent. I'm not exactly sure if the reviewer with the multiple address problem has tried this:"Just change the "sort by" option in the address book setup to "Name". Then add numbers to the names instead of making new entries."That sounds like it should resolve it.There is one other caveat. If you want the iTunes software in the phone, the US version right now does not come with it and neither does the Euro version but apparently the Asian/Middle East version do ... huh? Yea - who knows what's going on.Still a great phone - just too much work for everything :-)

Excellent phone overall with one limitation unless I am doing something wrong:When you start search, you can type in the first letter of the name you want to get to and it'll take you to the names in your phone book that start with that letter, but no second letter search to narrow the look up.eg. If I am looking for Moly, I will get all the M's and will have to scroll down from MA... all the way to MO...Is that a good thing or am I wrong ?
