No pesky rebates to deal with either. True, but in the UK, those two are both free on one year contracts (and with additional cashback in some cases).

I don't care about the bells and whistles at all. The reception is not where it should be. > news:jups81dtahd109r5rb3h90chphnlhp2q68@4ax.com... >> >> > On Fri, 20 May 2005 11:00:41 -0500, "talksense" [quoted text clipped - 16 lines] > where > it should be. Hang on a minute. In your last post you said "I've heard", and now you're stating that you find the reception to be not that good. Now either you have the phone or you don't. If you don't, then you're not really in a position to comment. As for me, I find the V3 no worse than any other phone, and better than most for reception.

I got one of these free from O2 two days after they were released. It has good and bad points. Best things are style and size worst is slow response to keypresses and glitchy firmware. Lack of decent memory space/card slot and no video taking capability are a pain so is no IRDA. It is more robust than it looks, mine having been used in a buiolding site environment for the last 5 months and still going strong. The software has crashed about a dozen times. > Lack of decent memory > space/card slot and no video taking capability are a pain so is no > IRDA. What are you using IRDA for? it's an antiquated format, barely does 56k, and is supplanted by bluetooth. SignatureE-mail fudged to thwart spammers.

The software has crashed about a dozen times. The video is actually there, it requires a hack to get it working though. I just did my first SEEM edit but I don't know if I want to get into the FLEX stuff. Definitely better than most for reception, I tried out a v400 that was useless. > news:jups81dtahd109r5rb3h90chphnlhp2q68@4ax.com... >> >> > On Fri, 20 May 2005 11:00:41 -0500, "talksense" [quoted text clipped - 16 lines] > where > it should be.

It's a good phone ya, but it is basically just a V600 in a more nice housing with a very high price tag, now if we were talking of the V635, then we are talking excellent phone! Mor than likely you heard from people who haven't used the phone. When it comes to working as a PHONE, very few phones can compare to Razr.

In the US the best deals you're still paying $50 up front.

Let's see, a few months ago fools were paying nearly $500 and now they are down to $49. What a deal! I tried two different ones, the reception was not nearly as good as my three year old Nokia. Hey maybe they were bad ones huh? On that note, why the hell is is cheaper to purchase gsm phones in europe? Is it simply that the coverage is more vast or another reason?

Maybe because some of us (not me)Americans are gullible dumb a.ses willing to spend a fortune to have the latest gadget phone at any price so they can be cool. A reasonable person would wait a few months and get it for next to nothing. >On that note, why the hell is is cheaper to purchase gsm phones in europe? >Is it simply that the coverage is more vast or another reason? They aren't! Without committing to a plan the Nokia 6230i is 390 Euros "zonder abonnement" (without contract) in the Netherlands. The Razr V3 is 460 Euros "zonder abonnement" in the Netherlands. Hardly cheap. The difference in Europe is that you'll get these premium phones free with a one or two year commitments. In the US you'll have to pay $50 or so for a V3. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - > Amazon is selling Razr for 49.99 after rebates for new contract only.

Basically Amazon is returning their kickback from Cingular. |
