Motorola RAZR V3x: Sweet mix

Here comes the most equipped non-OS Motorola phone of all times! Not exactly a razor-thin phone, made of plumy plastic. It features a 2 megapixel camera with brilliant macro mode and flash LED, and a top-class display. 3G is a matter of fact. At the same time, its MP3 player as well as certain features, are somewhat poor.

Motorola Razr V3x was nominated Best 3G mobile phone at the recently celebrated 3GSM congress. Razr V3x is the best equipped non-OS Motorola Phone ever. Certain internet retailers already added Razr V3x to their online offers several weeks ago.

In this review we provide you with a detailed review, which is supposed to help you decide, whether sparing money for V3x is worth the effort. You may also want to consider a purchase of the successor of the original Razr model, Motorola V3i, instead.

The best of it is hardly visible at first sight

When first images of the new Motorola V3x came out discussions on whether it would really be much thicker than the Razr V3 model never ended. A few months later the size difference was already a fact. Those of you, who do not admit the gracious design of the original fashion piece of art, raise your hand!

When closed, the phone is 19.6 mm thick, which is half a cm more in comparison with Razr V3. The other two dimensions have not been modified - 10 cm of height and 53 mm of width. What has really increased is the weight of the device, which is 30 grams heavier than the forerunner. It is no medium-heavy phone anymore, but a true heavy-weight.

In any case, Motorola V3x is not meant to end up in the hands of those who like to pose with their phone. This phone is rather made to be used by people in need of a clamshell phone with rich equipment, who are not willing to pay extra money for design.

Motorola Razr V3x is a multimedia phone with 3G networks support. Unlike slim units, this device may easily remain unnoticed by common users. It will definitely catch the eye of experienced customers though. But, please, do not get me wrong. New Motorola Razr is a pretty attractive phone. Besides, have a look at the surrounding pictures.

Heavy but elegant

Holding the phone in your hand is when you will notice its weight the most. As to your fingerprints, they will be remaining all over its surface. That’s not only on the glass of the external display, but also on the rest of the phone’s body. On the other hand, its plumy blue (or violet when lighted differently) plastic covers are pleasant to touch and look as if they were made of hard rubber.
