Motorola Razor.

I'm going to buy buying a Razor soon as my current fone is sooo out of style

I'm mainly buying it for the looks, size etc. But my question is this, there is the Razor V3 and the Razor V3i, i've read up on the dimensions for the two modles and aparently they are exactly the same size. But my one of my mates has an V3 and another has a V3i, i'm pritty sure the V3i is bulkyer than the V3? Can any one clarify this?

Also, i've not been able to find out from searching google, the V3i has a memory expansion slot, will it accept and amount of memory? if i found a 5GB card, would it take it?

Cheers!

The V3x is bulkier than the V3 or V3i.
I don't think that there is any real difference between the V3i and V3 in terms of mass or volume.

What attracts you to the V3? There are much better phones out there in similar styles. I've nothing against the V3, my wife has one and so does my brother, but they are somewhat passe now.

V3i over the original V3 has:
Better MP3 player
Expandable memory (Transflash cards, currently upto 2GB)
1.23 mega-pixel camera (0.5 on the V3)
Phone book searching tweaks

But there is also a V3im, which is a V3i, but with iTunes built in. But be warned, using iTunes, you are limited to 100 songs only...

the i is bulkier than the original, regardless of what it says. I had them both in my hands yesterday (my sister took my i so i no longer have it) and it definately seemed bulkier.

v3i also has voice activated dialling without need for voice tags, and you can navigate, dial, use the camera by voice.

v3i is by no means a bad phone apart from the lousy battery life, slow menu and everyone either has one or the v3.

oh wait....

bit pants then.

scratch that, i wouldn't recommend any motorolas. Startac was ok, if memory serves me right, but the rzrs etc have the worst build quality - ever. Plus the interface hasn't even changed since startac time

They're appauling

Especially the razr. Avoid at all costs, all my friend's ones who got it because it was "cool" have broken and weren't any good in the first palce.

The Razr is a steaming pile of crap.
I spent most of last year picking them up after they had broken down.
One guy, i went to him NINE times last year to swap his damn Razr.

fwiw, my v3i is fine, no complaints. The camera is rubbish but that comes with the territory.

They really don't :/
Main people I sell the phone to are chavs and far too many people seem to have them these days.

If you want to get a crap phone, it's your call but don't say we didn't warn you when you start moaning about it

standard v3 can't do videos.

@above poster: its not that bad for texting...it was fine for me infact.

90% of the Motorola V3s we sold last year from 3 stores were returned. Avoid like the plague.

VIRII · 12 Jun 2006 at 20:01

If it is all about the look check out the Benq-Siemens EF91
http://www.benq-siemens-shop.co.uk/...detail&tariffType=contract&productId=,448,,,1
It beats the V3 in every way.
Not my cup of tea personally, I went for the E900, very swish.

It's awful for texting. I'd go as far as to say I could almost type a whole message before it would start to appear on screen sometimes. Reminded me of the old SE T68.
