Article Treasures | Motorola RAZR V3xx Review

The Motorola RAZR line of phones have always been something for consumers to get excited about, and their newer entry, the V3xx is the next in a fantastic line of phones with some great features. As with all previous RAZR models, the V3xx keeps with roughly the same aluminum clad design for high style and high durability that is sure to make any consumer happy with their purchase for months to come.

The Motorola RAZR V3xx is available in one of two different GSM configurations. There is a version for American and Asian markets which is tri band and another version for the European marketplace which substitutes the 850 MHz rating for 900 MHz rating. Other than this simple difference in the GSM connectivity, all Motorola RAZR V3xx phones are the same.

Battery life on the Motorola RAZR V3xx is great, averaging around five hours of talk time and a highly impressive 400 hours of standby time, allowing you to take it with you everywhere without having to plug it in all the time. The internal display is of the highest quality and can support up to 262 thousand colors, while the built in camera provides an average resolution of 1.3 megapixels. If you own a previous model RAZR, you may have noticed that the camera resolution is actually less than the 2 megapixels in your own model - this design decision was probably made to leave more room for the media player that makes the Motorola RAZR V3xx stand out from the others in the RAZR line.

As for other great features on the phone, there is Bluetooth functionality, but still no Wi-Fi for connecting to the Internet without using your cell phone provider's data plan. However, for quick and easy data transfers, the Motorola RAZR V3xx does support 3G services, securing its position as a phone that will last for years to come. Also packed into the aluminum shell of the Motorola RAZR V3xx is a speakerphone, a music player, an expandable memory slot to store all of your MP3 songs, and email capabilities.
