What I don't like:

Review:

Hi, i am neither satisfied or dis-satisfied with ths mobile, i suppose the reason which makes this stand out from the rest of the v3 range is the fact that it has iTunes built in, however this is useless fo somebody who wants to put alot of music on it as it stores only 100 songs on iTunes where you then have to use the media player.

The media player whch is included on the phone is very basic and boring, for example t doesn't show song listed by artist, album etc. it jst shows them in one long list which is very annoying if you are trying to find a specific song. Also there is the problem that after one song has finished it doesnt move onto the next song, you then have to press the next button which means taking the phone out of your pocket to play the next song.

The keypad is very responsive and looks very nice in a dark room where it glows blue, however there is the problem that the navigation keys and the number 5 key are risen slightly for obvious reasons, when you close the phone these raised keys rest against the screen therefore leaving marks on the screen when you open it.

The speakerphone is very loud in quiet places however if you are walking down a noisy street it becomes almost impossible to hear which isn't helped by the face that it faces the back of the phone specificly in a place where your hand covers it.

The operating system is simple and easy to use but is very slow, i have often found the phone to have frozen so i then have to take that battery out and put it back in to restart the phone.

There are a number of themes already installed on the mobile but they are all very dull, te following are discriptions of the themes:
Moto, Blue and green wit white writing.
Indium, Grey and purple with black writing.
Scarlet, Silver and pink with white writing, very hard to read although that may just be me because i'm colour blind.
Silver, Grey and white with black writing.
Pink and dark pink with white writing.

I find the design of the phone very old as it dates back a couple of years to when it was very popular, in my opinion i think motorola have run out of sales for the V3 design. So they have brought out an new model, the RAZR2 V8. I have only read abot the RAZR2 and held a dud in store so i can tell you that it feature alot more but that it is very big compared to the V3im but a couple of mm slimmer.
