Motorola RAZR V3

Setting a new design trend, RAZR V3 was the original half an inch thin and great looking phone. It redefined the term ’superslim’ in the mobile phones world getting even thinner in the opened position and it was just the mass seller handset that Motorola needed to confirm itself as a major mobile phone manufacturer.

Still being one of the thinnest phone currently available and made of anodized aluminum, the Motorola cool flip phone looks and feels like a very high quality phone. The RAZR (pronounced “razor”) V3 was one of the most popular phones of 2004 and is still a real head turner. Based on its success Motorola launched generations of followers with guaranteed success, based on the RAZR V3.

Tech-talks

The perfect casing design reveals an unique and precision cut keypad that not only that looks good but its a revolutionary flat hi tech design. The whole keypad lights up with a blue glow giving a very cool effect especially in the dark. Designed primarily for its looks, the V3 was very expensive and exclusive. Now V3 is incredibly cheap if you decide for a basic , slim and good looking handset.

In terms of features, V3 was not the best equipped mobile even in 2004, but considering its size, weight, and price, the feature set is satisfactory. The main TFT display equals Samsung`s or Nokia`s displays however the 0.3 Megapixel VGA camera can not keep up with the competition. We also mention the Bluetooth connectivity, the Java platform, intuitive menus but the lack of a memory card.
