phone review - Motorola V3 RAZR

My flatmate Martin helped buy me a mobile phone today, he gets an employee discount in the export business that he helps out at.

 

Pros

-          light, slim, looks great

-          high quality of manufacture

-          has predictive text – autocompletes words

-          can write Chinese even in ‘english’ mode

-          light, slim, looks great (sorry, that’s the main benefit I suppose)

 

cons

-          weird, typing on keys that don’t actually move much / at all

-          probably will break the first time I drop it, or sit on it wrong

-          it isn’t good at bulk sim card operations, that facilitate first time transit of phone numbers from your old phone

-          the manual is fairly useless, it really doesn’t tell you much at all

-          searching the address book – can only search on the first letter

-          Motorola never was great at menus, I still don’t think they are
