Comment: Brilliant phone overall

Good: Style and features
Bad: Technical difficulties. Dropped calls, unable to receive incoming calls and the fact that they don't ship the Motorola Phone tools software with it
Comment: Motorola missed the mark with this phone. Great style, but lacking in technical reliability. They need to ship the USB cable and Motorola Phone Tools software with a high-end phone such as the Razor V3. Without the cable AND software this phone does not let you access some of its features via a PC. I think that T-Mobile has lost some credability with all of the problems. I am on my second phone since mid-April (it's 6 June) and I just got off the phone with T-Mobile technical support.

Good: The thin and attractive design
Bad: The buzzing of the keypad and grease stains on the screens
Comment: I had expected to receive a phone with no flaws whatsoever for the price paid. When I bought the phone, I was completely in awe of the attractive design, camera's quality and playful ringtones, skins and backgrounds, although after a day or two, I realized that the keypad made an incredibly loud buzzing sound. I returned back to the store to change it although only gave me another back in return with the exact same problem. Now I've asked them to order a new one for me in hope that it will not suffer from this problem but in the meantime, I've been waiting for over two weeks now without a phone. Other cons of this phone are that it is quite wide and to use it I usually have to use both of my hands or keep placing my hand in a different position on the phone. I do really enjoy the large screen though although wish that Motorola fixed the problem of the buzzing keypad.
P.S. I live in Italy and bought it in Italy, so I do not know if the phone suffers from the same buzzing sound in the US, UK, etc.

Good: Great looks, clear displays and keyboard, looks like a serious phone. Good sound quality.
Bad: The charging and data input/outpoint connection seems to be unique - I can't get it to integrate with my hands-free car equipment (yet?).
Comment: An excellent mobile phone, not a toy or fashion accessory like so many others. Classic sharp design backed up by solid functionality. Good battery life and relatively easy to use. Enough features for a grown up and it feels great in operation. Speaker phone facility is very useful and the camera is perfectly adequate for informal shots. I don't need or require video capability. Useful email and fax facilities and mine came with bluetooth headset and PC connections as well as USB.

Good: The Look.
Bad: The Address Book / The Menu Navigation / Basic requirement as an add on / Slow
Comment: Stylish phone but address book is a big hassle. This is mainly due to the single character search in the addressbook which makes it a pain to get to the contact you need from the address book especially when you have more than 30 contacts starting with a particular alphabet.
Another problem is the confusing menu structure. Try setting up GPRS manually and you will know what i mean.
Lastly, let me mention that I had to pay seperately for mobile tools deluxe so that I could sync my phone with outlook (free where other phones are concerned). May not matter to some but it does to me.
The phone operation on the whole is slow.

Good: First and foremast the excellent audio both at ear and handsfree. Quad Band. The slim design, and metal casing (plastic is for Nokia and SE)
Bad: Not 3G, Orange's dreadful OS changes, MPT a little quirky
Comment: First and Foremost an excellent phone. The only phone I have ever bought that I have not tired of after 6 months. Great speakerphone which is loud and undistorted and worldwide quad band use, which is especially appreciated in the US.
Also eagerly awaiting the V1150 - the 3G follow up with a 2 Megapixel cam. Just in time for my upgrade cyle...

Good: bluetooth syncs with outlook, camera, mp3 player
Bad: design could have included a mini sd card to listen to more mp3's
Comment: i used to have the sanyo scp-4900 brick phone and i have been waiting for several years for something like this to come out and replace it. i wanted it last year but it was $800. This year when the price dropped I had to bite on it...
