The only problem is that the charge goes out within a day or two. Pretty good. I like pretty much everything in it.
(Most modern phones have this feature).Overall it the quality of service has been good, I use it as a back up to my work phone, when it will not work in a building, and I use my Razor, because it will work. Still works well.The Battery life. Which in English translates to.1.3 Mega Pixels. MP3 playing ability.Yes I am tired of having ten different things to carry in my pockets and this simplifies it to one product.
Mine has lettering around the eye, 1.3 MP and 8X Zoom. (A trick they don't tell you about). Not the high quality SLR, but pretty good considering it is a phone. If I talk, it goes dead after about 1.5 hours, using it as an MP3 Player seems to last longer.
But it is there if needed.You can download special applications to go online, such as check your bank account, Wachovia offers such an application.The Major instant messengers are included with the phone. msn, yahoo, aol etc). I can even send the photos as an email from this phone. You can block your out going number; accept data and fax calls, voice dialing, 3 way conference, etc I notice cellular carriers offer these services; this phone can do this all without subscribing to another service from the cellular company.One can assign ring tones to groups or individuals use MP3s as ring tones (Such as when my sister calls a whole song will play until I answer the phone).Other features:You can go online, but the site should be designed for viewing from a cellular phone. (I have found this to be true in many different areas not just this phone) If all else fails Read the Book.
Photos, MP3s, phone book etc. After reading the reviews I would conclude half the problems are User Error, not manufacture error. I haven't really paid much attention to this.I am not really concerned about battery life as I understand it is a battery, I always have something to charge my phone with, and you can also charge this phone with the Proper USB cable to a PC.The thing I don't like is it gets warm when I am talking on it, this dosen't matter it I am using Bluetooth or using the headset.The last thing I didn't like about this phone, which I did not know until I bought it. Which is where I have a problem.
The camera features different modes and adjustments, I have gotten some good quality photos but this takes a bit of adjustment. I have dropped this phone so many times, lost it in the car, tends to fall out of my pocket and go under the driver seat. This phone you can only check certain e mails which are in this application. ATT phones use a SIM card which I have discovered, will work in any SIM card phone.
You can purchase a program (Motorola Phone tools) and install it to a PC to sync the phonebook to outlook, retrieve photos, to and from the phone. This feature you have to subscribe to, I have unlimited Data with my carrier. And another interesting thing you can print to a Bluetooth enabled printer, which I have yet to try. The last Generation Razor, you could set up the SMTP information directly into your phone and check any SMTP enabled email, I still have not found where to do this. This phone as far as I have found can only check the Email included in the Java applications (i.e. Simply because people are lazy and cant find the time to learn something new. It is a Motorola; Motorola's have always been very good with me.
It also has all the other usual functions alarm clock, calculator, and a bunch of other stuff I never use. Again if you read up on this you to will know how to use this feature. Some infact would rather invest more money and not Time. This feature works great, the phone it self will hold MP3s,(not sure how many) you can also purchase an additional memory card for it, which I have purchased a 2GB micro card which I have many MP3's and a few pictures, (this does not support wma, wm4 only MP3). Using an earpiece, there is no 1.5m Jack, only Bluetooth Enabled Earpieces will work.If one can get an earpiece that connects through the data / battery port, I do not know. I purchased this phone about a year ago when my contract was up with Cingular (ATT), and I renewed.My previous phone was a Razor, and before that an LG and before that another Motorola.Once you become accustomed with the Motorola Menu, then go to LG, they are opposites of each other. 1.3 million pixels. After my LG experience, I decided not to stray again.
I have put my SIM card into other phones just to see if it will work.It does, I have put the card into $20 pay as you go junk phones and it works. Rather than pay the monthly fee for insurance, or pay for a new $200 phone, if I break my phone I will be buying a cheap pay as you go phone and using it with my SIM card. In comparison: the ATT Razor V3xx always has a signal, where as the Verizon is a gamble. It has scratches and has been abused.
I have another phone I carry for work, a Motorola V325i with Verizon. You can check your email with a special java application. You have to relearn how to get around the menu. If you find this feature and you have Cingular you will see it is forwarded to your voice mail number, so if you change this, remember that number so you can put it back in there.
This is standard and can you blame the manufactures, certainly after warranting the many retards that jumped into the pool with their phones, would you want to cover that. I really was not interested in the camera, web and other features. Data Connection: You can connect this phone via Bluetooth or Cable and use it as a modem with your PC and go online. (I even had a Nokia, which I will never purchase another one again)Why I choose this phone 1. (If you don't understand this, look up some information about Pixels)8X zoom, it does Zoom 8 Times, the quality of the pic decreases as you zoom. Other features.This phone has probably more than one might need.You can forward calls to another phone, it you don't answer the phone it can forward with out using your celluar carrier, the phone will do this if you set it up. I have viewed my personal site with this phone, it worked, but the site is not designed for a cell phone. After reading other reviews some mention a beep if you don't answer the phone, and no zoom.This beep can be turned off, read the Manual that comes with the phone sometime, this guy would rather buy a new phone, and then spend a minute reading and investigating.
I have been in very few places where it doesn't work. 2. Which I have purchased a Stereo Bluetooth Headset. As for the Zoom on the Camera. I have the phone insurance with ATT; I have in the past smashed my phone, went to ATT and got another one. And the Red Dot problem.Open any phone look for a little dot of some sort.
I still have not figured out if it is the phone or service. I wish my company would go with Cingular, then I could have a single phone as this Phone will allow more than one number assigned to a single phone. This phone comes with the ability to play MP3's, you can put the phone in speaker mode where it sounds like an old transmitter is radio, or get a blue tooth head set. This program you can create ring tones from MP3's, edit photos, send text messages and bunch of other stuff I never use.You can also use the Bluetooth bonding to PC/Mac to exchange information without the program as well. Just leaving it on has lasted days.
(Thou I will comment on this later). But then again so does my digital camera. (But as soon as I find a printer I will try it, Toshiba's MFP can have this feature)Reception Quality:I work as a PC / Laser Printer tech and drive from office to office; I have been in the Everglades of Florida to South Carolina, to Upstate NY with this phone. I just don't care to use it to browse the web. I also have a Verizon Broadband card; this phone will connect to the internet at a faster speed then my Verizon Broadband card.
Razor phones suck, and so does motorola, Sanyo I hope is going to be a more reliable phone. Im trying a Sanyo next when it arrives again threw my company. My company issued me this piece of crap. I hope they replace this flashy junk phone with a model that works.
This worked fine until battery went dead after 1.5 years of usage. something expensive.Regarding the phone, the screen used to go off blank and phone used to shut down suddenly after a week of purchase so at&t exchanged it with another motorazor. I called the other number and it always goes to answering machine and nobody answers.so basically it's a fraud and I never got my $100.So pl think before buying anything on mail & rebates esp.
I bought it for $200 with mail & rebate for $200. I got one $100 promptly but the 2nd $100, I waited and called the rebate center and they said they are still processing.called couple of more times. I bought Motorazor black cell phone - servica at&t.
After some 10 or 15 phone calls, they gave me a phone number and asked me to talk to them directly and these people can't help me any more. Two of friends who used this phone had similar problems also. The rebate is very tricky, they asked me to mail the rebate stuff after 5 months of usage of the phone with my first phone bill (must have thought this is a good idea since most people might forget about the rebate by then).
I mailed everything on time for 2 mail & rebates $100 each.
Read the fine print and make sure you can abide by it and if you have questions, just call amazon's cell help number. Why would I ever even think of buying a phone or contract through the cell provider again. I was hesitant at first but everything went perfectly. They were very helpful, honest and courteous. This was such a great deal and I LOVE the phone. The amazon sign up process was simple and seamless, despite what others may say.
