| Conclusion: |
|
| The Motorola RAZR V3xx is the pinnacle of RAZR phones -- as well it should be, given that Moto has had nearly four years to perfect this aging model. Its only competitor among the other RAZRs is the V3i, but only because we're fans of that phone's iTunes music app. We liked the V3xx's crisp and bright high-resolution screen, along with its clear-sounded calls, robust calling options, and solid video (although it's hard to recommend a phone for streaming video clips with true mobile TV around the corner). Otherwise, the V3xx features all our favorite options, like stereo Bluetooth support and compatibility with our downloaded Napster tunes. There is room for improvement, of course, especially with the phone's still-bland interface and music player. That said, if you're dying to jump onto the RAZR bandwagon at this late date, the V3xx is the one to get. |
