MOTOROLA Razor feedback!

[Andrew]

Does anyone here use a MOTOROLA razor phone with verizon? My phone has went downhill and my plans not up for 6 months so i thought about just ordering a $135 motorola razor on e-bay to use for now as I'm having many problems with my phone. Any feedback on them?

They look cool.

Sorry I'm not more help.

My wife and I have them and they are ok. After a while the ribbon cable that feeds the screen on flip side (speaker) will come loose and you will have a blank or dim screen. I just replaced my phone due to physical abuse, but my wife has ongoing issues with blank, dim and upside down screens. The good thing is they lasted over a year with many-many hours of talk time on them.

Hope that helps

My husband has the V3 and my daughter and I have the Krazr through AT&T. No problems so far. Way better than the crummy Nokias that we had before.

I went through two of them, from way back when they were first available. They're an OK phone, but you give something up to get the sleek form factor and cool looks. Personally, I was addicted to the thin-ness. You could drop it in your pocket and it would disappear, instead of making it look like you had a tumor in your thigh like thicker flip phones do.

As far as the phone itself, it's OK. In all honesty, I don't think I could ever go to a "plain" cell like the RAZR ever again in my life, but if all you want to use it for is calling people and occasional media or txt stuff then you're probably OK with it.

i had one and my wife has one. Mine lasted the 2 year plan (even a trip through the washing machine, new battery later it was fine). hers has lasted almost as long with no problems. the biggest i had was with verizon itself using firmware that made the phone, just a phone....

Mines about a year and half old, been dropped on concrete and splashed with sea water. Other than a few scuff marks from hitting the concrete, it is no worse for the wear. Works fine as a phone, which is all I really want. Photo's are alright, but if I really want to take pictures I'll use a real camera

FYI, when you change your phone, you add time to your Verizon account. My husband and I have a family plan. He got a new phone about six months after the contract started. Well, when it came time for the contract to be up, and to get the phone upgrade, he still had six months to go.
I was told that even though we didn't change our plan, changing phones extended his contract. So, my new phone was free, and his was $150. We both got the EnV and love it. Don't know about the Razr though.

I had mine for about a year and a half. Never really liked it.

it may have been thin compared to other phones when it first came out. My crackberry pearl is the same thickness as a razor.

I love my RAZOR. It's been through a lot. It's been drooped a dozen times, stepped on, bashed around, fallen in a bucket full of water...

I haven't had to replace anything on my phone, it still works like a charm and it's over two years old.

Sounds like they've improved them.. The first one I got for the MRS was killed almost immediately. Seems they didn't have internal seals back then, so when it started raining unexpectedly it got killed.

It's way to flimsy for me, I have to get the military grade ones or I wind up replacing them monthly.. .LOL

I checked out reviews and researched them a bunch before getting a couple KRZRs for my boys with our new ATT plan.

According to the research, the first RAZRs had some problems with dependability and so so reception. But the newer version, the V3s and the V2s are supposed to be great.

I picked the KRZRs because all else was equal in the reviews and the battery life on the KRZRs is supposed to be longer. I don't know if Verizon has a KRZR version or not. I think the blue is ATT and the black is T-Mobile ... not sure.
