Was Motorola RAZR V3 a good choice?

I have previously written an article about my current phone, the Motorola RAZR V3 and have recommended that this model is a great choice for those who want to try the 3G technology. I still think that yes, it still a good choice.

The problem is, I’m now experiencing problems with it. Unconsciously, I just find my phone turned off. It sometimes automatically restarts and sometimes hang. Checking out reviews, I’ve found out that its not only I who have experienced the same kind of problem. Some say that it may be because of its battery and they recommend to buy a higher model of the battery. There were comments saying that after buying a new battery, they haven’t encountered the problem anymore. Well, maybe I should try it or just buy a new phone.

The feature is great and I still recommend it, but I hope that this model is tougher than I think it is.

Krzr K3

Another high-end model of the Krzr series by Motorola is to be released in the market. According to an article in Articlecrux.com:

On Feb. 12, 2007, Motorola announced officially a new, high-end model for their already popular Krzr series. The Krazr K3 will join its older brother, the K1, as a brilliantly stylish handset. The model looks very much like the white K1, except its coloration is slightly darker.

Designed with passion and built for speed, Krzr K3 is a top choice for those who are thinking of buying a new one. The K3 is said to be created with HSPDA (High-Speed Downlink Packet Access) connectivity, giving users a faster download and upload speed. This handset could be one the best Motorola models for Motorola and I’m sure it would be keenly awaited by mobile phone fanatics.

Motorola W510…simple but cool

Another cool designed phone from Motorola is the W510. Its designed is inspired by the slim MOTOKRAZR design. It is very handy to bring with being light and compact at 17.5mm thick. Despite its compact design, it is made up with a large 1.9 inch color display.

As what I have read from the Motorola website:

With stunning design and compelling content, the Motorola W510 is the phone every user will crave. At the heart of this good-looking mobile is a fun multimedia package. From its easy to use 1.3 megapixel camera to the integrated audio player – it will keep you entertained and connected. Keeping you in touch across the globe with its quad band connectivity¹ and quick sharing of pictures, music and files, the Motorola W510 keeps you in style, effortlessly. Go ‘beneath the flip’ for a journey into music, imaging and seamless connections.

The W510 has an internal memory of 15MB but has a microSD slot enabling users to expand its storage capacity of up to 1GB, 2GB for SanDisk microSD cards. It is said to be available in the market in the first quarter of 2007.

MOTORAZR V3xx

Another breed of Motorola RAZR series is the MOTORAZR V3xx. It looks more like the previous model MOTORAZR V3i with its cool design. It got my attention as I was roving through phone shops. I wandered what differs it from previous model (I had a post about MotoRAZR V3x).

This is more expensive than MotoRAZR V3x which is a 3G capable phone, MOTORAZR V3xx is not. Its main feature would be having High-Speed Downlink Packet Access (HSDPA) and EDGE technology which brings the power of high-speed connectivity giving broadband-like speed for faster downloads, web browsing, and data exchange.

Other features don’t impress me much as it only has a 1.3megapixel camera giving MOTORAZR V3x an edge with a 2.0megapixel camera. Well, it is for the customers to decide as for what is more important for them. This would be a great choice for those who need to stay connected.

Motorola RAZR V3x…Worth It?

For my first 3G capable mobile phone, I think the Motorola RAZR V3x would be a good buy. It is very affordable considering the features it boasts of. I was actually thinking of buying a Sony Ericsson K800i but checking out the features and comparing the price, I thought the V3x was a more practical choice.

For its features, 2 cameras are better than one. It has a 2.0 megapixel camera to capture high quality still and moving images and has a VGA camera that would enable you to have 2-way video calling. Its bluetooth wireless technology, WAP 2.0 browser, and optional removable memory of up to 512MB that would let you store music, video, and pictures would be a factor in feeding your hunger for satisfaction.

So, for price-conscious buyers out there who want to feel the 3G experience…try this one. It is a great deal!

Motorola i670 Available on Sprint/Nextel

Sprint/Nextel continue its tradition off black, kind of ugly looking phones with the Motorola i670.

It looks like it would not support the latest features, and while its 130 pixel by 130 pixel screen won’t be the most amazing thing you have seen it does have the Push-To-Tak, GPS navigation, Direct Talk off-network walkie talkie and group walkie talkie features making it a feature filled phone for those going out into the deep dark woods.

The i670 is available for $49 with two year agreement, or $249 if you want to buy it flat out.

Hottest Mobile Phones this Summer

Laptop Magazine previews and reviews five mobile phones they consider to be should-buys this summer, and they are as follows.

The Motorola Q. It’s a smartphone, and it says Windows Mobile 5.0 (up to you if that’s good or bad). Personally, I think this is cool, as you can do all sorts of wonderful stuff on a Windows Mobile powered smartphone, and I’m a fan of being able to seamlessly sync with Outlook. It’s like having a full-fledged Windows-based PDA in a mobile phone form factor. The phone even supports EV-DO connectivity, and has a 1.3 megapixel camera. Memory is also expandable via Mini-SD. Only disadvantage, though, is that the Moto Q doesn’t have touchscreen.
Retail price: $199 with 2-year contract.
Palm Treo 700P. It’s PalmOS-based so whether it’s good or bad depends on your OS preference. But Palm still lives by the KISS principle–that is, keep it simple, stupid! You get blazing power in your hands but with a simple and no-nonsense UI. You can connect broadband via Sprint’s EV-DO service or Verizon’s Wireless broadband service. The Treo 700P also sports a 1.3-megapixel camera for those days you forget to bring your real digital camera with you.
Retail price: $399 with 2-year contract and after rebate.
Sony Ericsson W810i. It’s a SonyEricsson, so the interface and operating system are proprietary. If you can live with that, consider that this, being a W-series phone, is a Walkman, and actually has strong portable music player features. You can even use your own earphones or high-fidelity noise-cancelling headphones as the phone uses a standard 3.5-mm stereo jack! It even has a 2-megapixel camera. Again, I’m not a fan of these itty-bitty things that take poor pictures, but it’s a convenient feature to have.
Retail price: $399.
Samsung SCH-a930. The a930 clamshell looks more like an MP3 player than a phone. But you might be able to forgive the design shortcomings considering the low price. For this price, you get dedicated music controls and a dedicated external screen for displaying track information. Memory is also expandable up to 1GB via MicroSD. You also get access to Verizon’s V CAST music service. Hey, you also have a 1.3-megapixel camera. IT rotates, this time, whatever you’d need that for (perfect for voyeur photography, I guess).
Retail price: $99.99 (after $50 rebate).
LG Fusic. Fus-what? Strange name aside, the Fusic looks interesting, but lacks appeal in design. It has that control wheel reminiscent of the iPod’s, but sports a protruding antenna, which I find un-cool. The Fusic works with the Sprint music store, or you can transfer MP3s and AACs via USB (sounds familiar). It also has Bluetooth stereo support and–yes–a 1.3-megapixel camera. What’s great is you can plug in the phone into your laptop for use as an EV-DO modem. I’m foreseeing a visit from Apple’s patent lawyers, though, with the way the Fusic mimics the iPod’s control wheel.
Retail price: $179 with 2-year contract.
