Amazon.com Product Description
You've probably seen the wildly popular Motorola RAZR V3 in someone's hand before. With the quad-band GSM RAZR V3t, Motorola has made it even better. The sexy design is still here, as is the all-metal construction. This time, though, the phone boasts an updated and streamlined design, a sexy spun-metal finish, enhanced video capture and playback capabilities, a 1.3-megapixel camera, and a hot-swappable MicroSD memory card slot.

A sexy new spun-metal finish graces the RAZR V3t.

Design
At .6 inches thick, the RAZR V3t is virtually the same thickness as the original RAZR. And like the original RAZR, the phone's design takes the standard clamshell form factor to the next level with an impressive, fully-anodized aluminum construction. A large 176 x 220 color display with 262,000 colors dominates the inside of the top cover. The outside cover of the handset sports a supplementary 96 x 80 full-color display that can display caller ID pictures, time, call information, battery and signal strength, and more. The 1.3-megapixel camera lens is housed above this display. Up/down buttons are placed on the left side for volume control.

Most of the phone's features and on-screen menus are controlled by a five-way center button on the handset's backlit control pad, which is precision cut from a single sheet of nickel-plated copper alloy. A mini-USB port is provided, which, while useful for fast data transfer, can also be used with compatible USB stereo headsets. Note that the phone does not have a standard 2.5mm headset jack, but the phone's enhanced mini-USB connector supports compatible stereo headsets.

Calling Features
The RAZR V3t's internal phone book can hold up to 1000 contacts while the phone's picture ID system allows you to assign pictures to your most common callers. The phone also supports polyphonic ringtones as well as MP3 ringers, allowing you to use portions of your favorite songs to alert you to incoming calls. A number of ringtones come preloaded on the phone and more ringtones can be downloaded from T-Mobile's t-Zones service.

The phone features support for myFaves.

For times when you want to be discreet, there's a vibrating alert. A built-in speakerphone makes it easy to talk without having the phone to your ear while voice activated dialing makes calling your friends, family and associates as easy as saying their names. Speaker-independent technology allows any speaker to dial numbers with the voice dialing system. And because the RAZR V3t is Bluetooth enabled, wireless headsets can be configured with the phone for total handsfree operation.

Like to keep in touch without worrying about minutes or overages? The V3t is fully compatible with T-Mobile's myFaves service, which allows you to call up to five of your most common contacts--on any network--without using any of your minutes. Learn more about myFaves.

Messaging, Internet, and Tools
The RAZR V3t is a messaging and wireless Internet powerhouse. Support is built in for sending and receiving pictures, text, graphics, sound and video via messages. When used in combination with the phone's built-in still and video camera, MMS opens up a whole new world of messaging fun (T-Mobile messaging charges apply). There's also a built-in web browser for t-zones downloads and mobile web browsing. T-Mobile's t-Zones service lets you receive and send emails, read news headlines, get weather updates, download games and ringtones, and more. If you need email on the go, the V3t comes with an email client that supports IMAP, POP3, and SMTP email standards. iTap text entry, which is a technology that makes it easier for people to enter words and text on handsets, is built into the unit--a plus for mobile email and text messaging users.

A number of handy software tools are bundled with the RAZR V3t including a calculator with currency converter, a calendar, and an alarm clock. The phone can also be used with Motorola's Mobile Phone Tools PC application to manage and synchronize contacts, calendar and other data with your PC.

Imaging and Entertainment
The RAZR V3t's 1.3-megapixel camera bridges the gap between phones and quality digital cameras. The digital zoom-enabled camera is also designed to capture video. You can even print your shots on a Bluetooth-enabled printer. Embedded animated screensavers and full screen wallpapers are built-in so you can set up the RAZR V3t to suit your tastes. The phone supports games, as well as gaming connectivity via Bluetooth.

The RAZR V3t is a serious music phone; its next-gen phone status aside, the V3t stands alone as a great digital music player. And because the V3t sports a swappable memory card slot, you can bring all of your favorite music with you.

Boasting support for the Java 2.0 format, The V3t will let you enjoy most of the latest cell phone games, anywhere you go. The phone comes stock with preloaded games, and more games can be downloaded from T-Mobile's t-Zones service. The V3t also sports an airplane mode feature, which allows the user to safely use the non-wireless functions of a phone (such as music, games or organizer functions) on an airplane during flight.

Vital Statistics
The Motorola RAZR V3t weighs 3.30 ounces and measures 3.90 x 2.10 x .60 inches. Its lithium-ion battery is rated at up to 5.0 hours of digital talk time, and up to 12 days of digital standby time. It runs on the GSM/GPRS 850/900/1800/1900 frequencies. The phone comes with a one year limited warranty.

Customer Reviews

Good while it worked, but doesnt last long
All the good reviews are understandable given the quality of the calls and cute-ness / price ratio. I got this phone first it came out, and now it has been 19 months, the screen died all of a sudden. No warnings before hand, just sudden death. I never dropped this phone or abused it, just normal, even gentle use. I expect a longer life of a phone and also it would have been nice if i could get my contacts out of its internal memory. No more Motorola.

I HAD it with Motorola! Another overrated, overpriced piece of junk!
This phone worked great for the two weeks that I owned it. I loved just about everything about it - the large screen, the keypads, the music player, camera, speakerphone, video, being able to use mp3 files as ringtones, bluetooth - absolutely wonderful. After owning several Motorola phones and being dissatisfied with all of them except for one (the V360 - the best phone they ever made but they no longer make), the RAZR v3t restored my faith in Motorola products. Some people warned me about getting a RAZR; they said that it really was an inferior product and the battery life was poor. I ignored them, and didn't think that the battery life wasn't a big deal - after all, I don't use the cell that much and I'm one to charge the battery every other day.

However, two weeks to the very DAY that I got the V3t, it just stopped working altogether! I opened the flip to change the ringtone to vibrate, and NOTHING showed up on the screen. It was completely BLANK! The keypad still lit up, but what good is a keypad attached to a cellphone that doesn't work??? Less than an hour before this happened, I made a phone call and it worked fine. I never dropped it, let it get wet, or had anything else happen to it. I thought maybe it was because the battery might have gone dead, but when I got home, I plugged it up and it still was the same - only the keypad lit up. There was nothing wrong with the battery. I shut it off, waited a day or two to see it if it was just a glitch, and held on to the hope that the phone would still work. Needless to say, it didn't.

I've heard it's basically a crap shoot with RAZR phones - some people say they never had any problems with them, and others say that this was the worst phone they ever purchased. I'll have to join the latter group of people who hate this phone and I will never again buy another Motorola product.

Best Razr phone at an affordable price by Motorola and T-mobile!
Razr v3t is an excellent, sleek, thin and lightweight mid-range cell phone at an affordable price from T-mobile. I got two of these phones free with Bluetooth headsets from t-mobile with a family plan. This razr phone has a very nice black finish as compared to its predeseccor v3. It also has bluetooth 1.2, a digital music player and 1.23 megapixel integrated camera.
You can also upgrade its default 128MB, removable microsd memory card, upto 1-2GB microsd. Believe me, the Digital music player on this device is incredible and the sound quality is at par with any music player like iPod shuffle or nano. I am using this razr as my second iPod, with 400-500 songs on my 1GB Sandisk microsd card.
You can also buy a motorola Stereo Headset Adaptor (model# SYN1504, just for $3-$4) to convert the output from MiniUSB to ordinary 3.5mm, to connect it to any device/headset and listen to songs from it. I have connected it to my sony car adaptor as well and now I can listen to songs from it in my car.
The data cable connectivity with PC is very simple and easy to use. No need to install any software. You can aslo sync in this player in Windows Media player but its a little bit tricky. Also it can only play itunes ACC and Mp3 format. No support for WMA files, but you can always convert them to Mp3. Only supports Mp3s upto 192kbps bitrate.
Bluetooth headset connectivity is also very simple and flawless. My Bluetrek headset instantly get detected by this razr. So no issues with BT.
