What Cellular Telephone (Mobile) do you own?

I've got a Black V3 Razr. But it's going bye-bye next month for a Razr V3i or a ROKR E2.

I remember when the Razr was exclusive...but like the other posts put, everyone and their mother has one now.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Oh, and locke, you might want to look into motomodders... they are a bunch of V3 hackers. Lots of neat shit you can do with a V3.

Hehe. So you're a member of MoMo too CileGray? Besides MoMo check out www.motox.info and motorola.howardforums.com. Those are my favorite cell phone related haunts.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

I was basically the 10th person on the net to download the 42fr flash... I have a completely hacked OS, new icons, cl.gif, 96kbps mp3s, 9.5megs of hard drive, and unlocked my factory locked video camera. Oh and the tahoma font hack :P

Me too. I think that's one of the reasons I love Motorolas so much; you can hack and edit them to death.

I'm just looking at all the flips in this thread, and I see like no major style difference between them. I'm not the phone fashion police or anything, but don't you guys want something a little more unique? Or perhaps you don't care at all, which is fine too.

I wanted something unique (that no one in my area would have) and fit me (My favorite colors are Black and Red so much of my wardrobe are those colors) so I got the Black Razr last Summer. For about 3 months I was the only person in my area I ever saw with a Razr let alone a Black one. Then Cingular went all "Razr for 199 w/ contract!" and the rest is history.

God I hate trends...but c'est la vie.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Don't fear. As long as the phone was manufactured within a year of your buying it you have a warranty with Motorola. I killed my Razr in September 05 and they replaced it under warranty.

So mod away!

:biggrin:

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

Technically, yes. But Motorola is pretty lax about it. I killed my Razr trying to get a test reflash to work. I called Motorola, told them EXACTLY what happened, and they said, "Ok. Just send it to us and we'll fix it. You should have the phone back in two weeks."

What's better is that Motorola couldn't fix my phone and instead sent me a NEW Razr (not refurbished) that still carries a one-year warranty.

When you say v4 do you mean the "upgraded" V3 w/ iTunes, etc.?

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

Sounds a alot like the V3i. Which hasn't been released in the US but it available worldwide. From what I know the only other Razr-type phone in Motorola's queue is the HSDPA Razr (supposedly for Cingular) which is a revamped/upgraded version of the V3x.

But if there is a v4 I'd love to see pics/specs of it.

For text messages, or writing down anything which requires me to use the number-pad I prefer my old Nokia. This is because this Ericsson model of mine has its number-keypad so ingrained into the model that it's a chore for me to type anything out. (Especially because I've naturally large fingers.)

As cool/extensible (storage-wise) as the phone is it can store only 100 text messages. Pathetic. The only redeeming feature of the phone is the camera, which does its job well in most situations except in those places that lack sufficient lighting.

Yeah, my brother's girlfriend wanted the US version of the S700i, the S710a. I like the features on it but I HATE the shize of it combined with the swivel. I'm not a big fan of swivelers but I must admit that the S7x0 series is sexy.

FELIPE NO

@ LeHah: Yeah, I was reading up on the new LG PTT phone for Cingular. They're PTT selection (2 phones right now) is paltry at best. Hopefully Motorola will throw something into the mix soon as well.

@ Enceph: The w600i would be nice for me except that whole big-bofy thing that all Ericssons weem to have. And the ROKR is possibly the ugliest, most worthless phone in existance. The SLVR does music phone better and the ROKR E2 will do it even better than the SLVR.

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

That's because 3G networks are rare here in the United States Shin; only Verizon has a complete 3G network, Sprint has launched their's but it doesn't cover their entire coverage area, and Cingular just launched their 3G network in 10 cities with plans to have over 100 major cities covered by the end of 2006.

As such video calling isn't big in the United States; mostly American phone consumers just want something for text messaging, "cool" ringtones, and maybe a camera for those odd moments they want memories.

Maybe by 2007 we'll be into video calling and what not when 3G is pretty much everywhere but right now people just want cool.

Although Cingular plans to launch the US version of the 6280, the 6282, along with the N80 this year for their 3G UMTS Network. I know my brother is looking forward to the 6282 himself; he's a big Nokia fan.

When I finally indulged myself into the Motorola world of cell phones I started off with the Motorola V180, which has become my current back up phone. I've had it for over a year and it serves its purpose as a phone and nothing more.

The Motorola v80 was my chirstmas present to myself. I'm currently having problems with it freezing and not turning on but I'm going to be replacing the flex cable eventually to see if I can remedy it. This phone gets a ton of comment. It swivels which was unique until Sony's s710a came out. It's got cool ringlights that are a neat feature to have when your in a loud place such as a bowling alley during cosmic bowling and want to kill some battery life by having your lights move to the music.

I'm currently trial running my friends' Motorola v551 to see if I like it enough to buy it off of him. It's full packed and awesome. The only thing I'm missing is the swivel and ringlights of my old v80.

I think the feature you're talking about is called "funlights" and the v551 DOES have them. You just have to enable them just like the Razr. Check out motorola.howardforums.com for more information or get up with me on AIM: keirikaze.

Those lights are SEX. All other Motorola funlights fail.

I'm using the ROKR/E1 til the E2 comes out

LMAO. My fault for trying to be helpful.

Yeah, the E2 is looking really good right now. It was supposed to be out march 1st but still isn't here. Hopefully it'll be available before May.

I was speaking idiomatically.

The buttons are a little awkward to me and while the phone IS thin, it's just way too big. They made abig deal about it being really thin, but if it's really wide then what's the point?

Before "Everyone" had them it was a phone that was unique and very exclusive. Add to that it bucked the trend of thick, ugly clamshells. I don't mind the fact that it's wide; it fits in the "key" pocket of my skate jeans and that means the world to me - my v220 and every other phone fits but they bulge outward like a wierd bump. The Razr is damn near invisible in my pocket - and I like that too. Add the fact it's light and I barely know it's there unlike other cells.

Despite that I'll be the first to admit the feature set is a bit limited compared to ther phones. Then again most people seem to see the Razr today and consider it "not enough for the money" without realizing the phone is 2 yrs old and as such phones released recently (within the last 6~7 months +/-) should have better specs. The phone didn't really hit market mass in the US until Cingular's shock and awe marketing of the "Special Edition" Black Razr. But then again, I didn't get it because it was "the" phone - I got it because it fit me.

That's what got me. And that's why I still have it. If I wanted features at the cost of what I consider "portability" I'd get a PDA/smartphone.
