My new fashionably stylish and technologically slow pimp phone. The Motorola RAZR V3 black edition. The best thing about this phone is that it can be customized through software flashing and other modifying techniques. So far I have increased memory capacity from 5MB to 7MB (No doubt that the flash I performed erased unneeded info already on the phone, since memory can only really be upgraded by physically adding it in). Phonebook menu selection is improved now as well. Now its time for me to start making my own ringtones using the software provided by Motorola. It also came to me unlocked, meaning that I can use it in over 100 countries all over the world just by switching SIM cats. Time for me to start slammin' cadillac doors

Who did you get it through? Iwas looking for one like that.

I have two friends that each have one. Not really impressed by it: it looked skinnier on TV than it really is, and the voice-dialing feature doesn't work 3 out of 5 times.

Not bad, that phone is great. nice pic btw hehe

The girl in the picture is not my chick, despite the fact that I would have her morning, noon and night. I uploaded the picture for anyone that wants her. I bought the phone off of eBay from a vendor based in Hong Kong. If any of you plan on buying it, I suggest not paying more than $325 for it.
I too have had problems with the voice dialing, in high noise environments only. I really cannot complain too much about that. But since I flashed the phone, I am hoping there will be some improvements to that.

Pros:

-Looks cool.
-Not very common, especially here in Virginia (Cingular sells the silver and black version locked. I was told to stay clear of them because of service).
-Do-it-yourself upgradeability (Software-wise)
-Customizable screen menu (Skins, Wallpaper)
-Best resolution screen currently out for the price.
-Everyone digs the phone as a curiosity at the very least, good icebreaker for meating women (No I did'nt misspell that)
-Can make your own ring tones! No more paying for ringtones(If you ever did to begin with)

Cons:

- Really slow OS Be nice if it had a fast and powerful Windows or Unix type OS
- Call switching is also slow
- Dont even think about dropping it on concrete (Parts to be replaced on the phone is so high, you might as well buy a new one.
- Price is high if you buy it from US retailers without a service plan in general

Cannot speak on GPRS system for the internet, because I do not pay for services that I do not need.

Not to burst your bubble but there's nothing special about Black V3s.

Got my free upgrade and sold it on ebay months ago. Was not quick to sell as hundreds of people were doing the same thing.

It is a good looking phone though.

So you can talk to people on that? I can do that with my phone, too! (just for hundreds of dollars less)
