WARNING to Existing Verizon Customers
I bought this phone with a one-year plan.I had an existing month-to-month plan with Verizon.Amazon assured me that although I would get a new phone number with the new phone, a simple call to Verizon would get my existing cell phone number switched to the new phone.
Verizin is Evil
I wanted one of these when they came out but opted to wait til they got the bugs out and wait for my new every 2.There is still room for improvement.
about as good as your gonna get with verizon..
ok...so many people have complained about the verizon ui..yes..it sucks..however its there and if this really bothers you that much to deal with it then go elsewhere..and for those who arent going to buy this phone because of it...then dont get this phone...i will agree that i hate the ui..however i can live with it...now for everyone else I shall list the pros and cons of this phone as ive seen it so far....

Best cell phone I've owned
I've had this phone for about 1 1/2 weeks and it's been great. I almost switched from Verizon because of dropped calls with my last two phones (most recently a Samsung SCH-A670), but so far I have had no problems at all with this one. I've really enjoyed playing around with the extra features (music, videos, wallpapers), especially with the help of Bitpim. The camera is excellent for a cellphone--much better than my old Samsung. My only complaints are that it's a little bigger than I would like (probably because of the built-in stereo speakers) and that there's no "vibrate and then ring" feature (but I was able to solve that by adding a few seconds of silence to my ringtone and then uploading it to the phone). Also, it took a little work to get the "Music Essentials Kit" to work, but thanks to some tips I found on the web it's fine now.

Love IT!
I just got this phone in the mail today. In less than 5 minutes from opening the box I had the phone activated and called a friend. If you know how to use and activate phones it's very easy to start using the phone. I Love the menus, options etc. Overall, I can see I'm going to love it way more than the phone I upgraded from, which was two years old, and I loved that phone too!

The manual stinks
I just got the phone today and it's taking me forever to set it up.The manual doesn't give the correct directions.It doesn't have a quick reference to use voice dialing. I had to look it up on-line.I put the cd in and it doesn't give me the option to ask me if I want to start, pause, or exit so I had to reboot my computer(at work).

Great Phone!
I recently replaced my RAZR with this phone and I couldn't be happier. I can hear the people I'm talking to so much better than I used to.Pre-loaded ringtones and graphics are kind of tacky, but I downloaded some from Cingular.But there is one thing you should be weary about. The buttons are very close together are might be a hassel to those with bigger hands than me.I have extrememly tiny hands and fingers, so this isn't a problem, but my boyfriend has a hard time using the buttons.
Awesome Phone
Ok, I am going to write a very short review and hopefully update it at a later point to give you more details.

Not good -- poor volume and reception
If you need to hear your calls or want decent reception (at least in Downtown NYC), I would pass on this phone.Sure it looks swell, but even at the highest volume position, callers are barely audible above common street noises.I can't fathom why Motorola hasn't fixed this serious design flaw.
Attracted to the phone because of it's size and slim-ness, but very dissapointed
I bought this phone from Cingular, and while I haven't had any major problems with the carrier, the phone is too fragile for everyday use. I've taken good care of this phone and keep it in a leather case, but it's already acting up. The phone randomly shuts off, especially during calls, even though the battery is charged. It seems as if the battery is secure in it's compartment, so I can't figure out what is wrong with it, beside the fact it's just a poorly designed phone. If size is what you're looking for in a phone, I'd look elsewhere.

Razr doesn't cut it
The slim and attractive appearance is undisputed but the ease of use (menus) and reliability needed more attention.They promptly replaced it, both times it didn't work, including a battery that wouldn't hold a charge after only 10 months of use however the replacement battery won't hold a charge near as long as the previous 6 to 8 phones I've had.I might have understood if it were a cheap phone, but with a hefty price tag (I'm embarrassed to say how much I paid for it), I expected the best and got much less. ...

Verizon (VERI Zucky versiON) black model purchased
The RAZR WAS a cool phone. Verizon's firmware really sucks. It is not user friendly at all. It takes additional keystrokes to simply get to your address book to scroll for a number or to send a text message. The phone and Verizon do have great reception but that's about all I can say good about this. The memory card slot is in the battery bay so it isn't readily accessible should you wish to remove/add a card. I am happy to be with Verizon but really regret not returning the phone and trying another one.

Great Value!
I bought this from my service provider and have definitely enjoyed it.I do not take part in the extras that you can get like the Vcast (someone else would probably get more enjoyment out of it with the Vcast) but in spite of that have had no trouble with this phone.It is very compact and has a flat numeric pad; which I think is a great feature.I also like the way the phone book is set up and with the service provider I have and the bluetooth headset makes this phone a joy to have and use.
an alright phone, but lots of problems
Okay, well I just got my second razor yesterday and Ive only has this for 8 days. The last v3m razor that I had, froze constantly, the texting always lagged, and I wouldnt even get a texting menu anymore telling me I had a new text, the text would just pop up. So I really got mad and returned the phone yesterday, but since I got locked into taht 2 year contract thing, I had to just get a replacement. So I got a replacement, and the battery is amazing now(i only got 7 hours at the most out of my phone) and the texting is fine now, but now, it doesnt let me know when I get a new voicemail. I have to go and check my voicemail every 5 minutes to see if I have a new one. It is soo annyoing. I am never buying a razor ever again! It is the worst phone EVER! Don't even think about buying this thing! You'll just have problems after problems after problems. I can't wait to get rid of this thing. ... Read more

Bad choice
I bought the Razr thinking it was awesome! Oh how I wish i would have looked into more!
I hate this phone
I bought 2 Razr V3 pink phones for my family plan of 4.I was veryunhappy with the phone.The memory is too low, I don't even know why this phone has the video playback since it doesn't have enough memory to do so.No card slot to increase increase memory too.I regret buying this phone.Now I can't exchange these 2 phones for different ones.People, don't get this phone at all, only if you use for basic features.There are much better phones on Amazon to get.

I HAD to have this phone and now I hate it
When the pink razrs came out, I knew I had to have one.They looked really cool.So, I waited patiently til I was eligible for my upgrade (Cingular) and then ordered it immediately!

can use only one hand!
I had a stroke a little over one year. I have to have a phone thats easy to opperate with one hand. light.I have to have a phone all the time. safty issues!! I love this phone. some nice things like a camera to take pictures and a voice recorder.

This phone is awful
This is, by far, the WORST phone I have ever owned!I've only had it for 5 months and already the battery is worn out and it is starting to malfunction.VERY disappointed!I will NEVER buy a motorola again!Don't waste your money on this garbage!I will stick to the LG brand, as I am going to have to shell out major $ for a new phone.BUYERS BEWARE!

HELLO MOTO!!!!!
I purchased this phone from my local T-Mobile store along with an Unlimited Nights/Weekends/1000 Whenever Minutes plan and I must say, I am very impressed.The phone is beautiful and thin, and although this phone has been available for a long time now, I still can't get over how thin it is.Reception is great, and compared side by side to my old Samsung x475(T-Mobile, same network as the RAZR), the RAZR always wins on the reception.Where my Samsung gets 1 bar to no service in my room where I am typing this from, the RAZR gets a steady 3 bars, sometimes 2 but it never goes below that.On my old samsung, calls sounded weak and the audio would clip a lot, sometimes the call would even get dropped.I have yet to see my new RAZR drop calls.The screen on this phone is beautiful, or at least the main screen.The front screen on the outside of the phone is color but it seriously lacks contrast and color saturation.However, for an external screen, it does just fine.This phone also has bluetooth and has worked flawlessly with my bluetooth headset.I have also been able to send pictures taken with the RAZR's camera to my friend's camera-less phone via bluetooth.If you are looking for an affordable, stylish, bluetooth-rocking cell phone, this is the one. ...

Sexy Phone with Overall Good Build Quality
i have had this phone for over a week now, and i am very satisfied. let me tell you for the price you are getting is a steal. how can one make money by getting a new phone? i dont know but i dont really care either.
Poor design
I can hardly pick this phone up without accidentally hitting the volume or speakerphone button. The manual that comes with it uses little icons instead of written words. Besides being almost indistinguishable from one another, these icons make reading the instructions akin to reading a coded message. You really have to stop and study each icon to figure out what the hell they are talking about. From brand new, the battery needs recharging less than every 48 hours. Just doesn't seem to hold a charge worth a darn. Poor reception... really poor inside. The menu buttons seem to be strategically designed to get you to use the various V-cast and additional charges type functions. It makes it harder to use simple phone functions. I bought the case for it and it's a bust too. The way it's made, the phone won't close properly and the clear cover over the keys, makes pressing them individually almost impossible. I have nothing good to say about the design or function of this phone.

Why I like the Samsung a930...
I don't know why people rate this phone so bad, when it really isn't so bad.I'm writing this review for my mom since we both own the phone right now (My name is Keli speaking for mom - Deslina).We got it as a deal by just going to the Verizon store (2 phones with new contract for $100 with a $50 rebate = $50 spent for 2 of these phones).That was just the first positive option I found for this phone.

Blue Razor
I got a wonderful deal through Amazon and Cingular.Getting a Razor for one cent was terrific and I love my new phone!

Reception problems
I ordered a black and blue razr phone thinking there was absolutely no difference between the two except for color.My wife's phone, the black razr, has excellent reception.In contrast, the blue razr, has little to no reception.I exchanged it for another blue razr and discovered the same problem.Irritated and frustrated I decided to switch to the black razr thinking there might have been a manufacturing defect on the blue razr's.I received my black razr yesterday and voila the reception is far superior than the blue (which is supposedly the exact same phone).Of course my wife's phone still has better and consistent reception for some reason;Maybe because it is considered the primary phone it has better reception.My thinking is that if you wish to purchase a blue razr, you should wait a month or so before purchasing.Wait for those "defective" batches of blue razr's to be out of the system.Or, I just may have been an unlucky person to have gotten two defective blue phones in a row. ...

Love it - but wish it was better....
I have had a Razr phone for three years.During that time I confess I have gently dropped it at least three times and the phone always reboots and gets itself working again.However,yesterday, weeks after the last "drop", it seemed to be losing its durability.Out of the blue, the camera turned on and randomly started to take photos.When I turned it out of camera mode, it switched into the voice record memo menu and would not exit until I hit the end button.From there the keypad would not work.I went to a friend's house to call Cingular and they said they would send new "software" to the phone.It worked for the day, but last night, it started working in the same erratic fashion.I rebooted it and charged the battery and hope it works today.I am going to see if it acts up again, but pulled out my old samsung freebie which I saved in case I need to use a reliable phone.
IT BREAKS ALL THE TIME!!!
Ok, so I bought into the hype about the Razr when it first came out.Now, however, I HATE THIS PHONE.IT HAS CAUSED ME NOTHING BUT PROBLEMS.Due to the fact that it is so slim, the wires are super thin as well and constantly break.It costs a lot to fix, including a day off of work to travel the extensive distance to someone who knows how to fix it.Then I finally got fed up with the phone breaking and decided to buy a new one, a completely different brand, but Cingular said I wasn't ready for an "upgrade" so I had to pay full price!I got screwed... beware the Razr (and any Motorola products for that matter--their Blue Tooth headsets are no better!!!Even my boyfriend who works for Moto won't buy their products!)

Don't buy it
Although this phone is thin and looks nice. I'm disappointed I bought it. It just doesn't work well. I agree with many of the negative reviews of this phone. I had my old cell phone (Nokia) for years and it worked great. I've had this one less than six months and have had nothing but problems. ... Read more

My first "cool" phone
I have never purchased a phone, just picked whichever flip phone was free. This was the first time i paid ($100) for a phone because i am a fan of the razr and when i found out about the itunes version I jumped on it. Im only going to get into the itunes portion since you can read better reviews about the razr on other pages.

Different pinks with different carriers
I recently got this phone and love it.T-mobile's service may not be the best, but I have had no problems with the phone itself.For all the people saying that it isn't really magenta-It is.The pink razr offered by Cingular is a pale pink, the t-mobile phone is the hot pink magenta shown.I looked at them at bestbuy before buying and saw that the different carriers have different shades.

Love the phone, hate the battery life!
Having had every new gadget imaginable I must report that I LOVE this phone because I can take pictures and make videos! I LOATHE having to charge the battery everyday! Perhaps I just got a bad battery but I've NEVER had to charge any phone daily. Keep in mind that I leave my phone on 24/7. Maybe I should turn it off. Does anyone else have this same syndrome?
HATED IT
I actually went through three of these phones.Each one that I had would just turn off in the middle of a call...not just drop the call I mean the phone shuts off! Then I would try and start it again, no go! So I had to take the battery out of the phone put it all back together and then restart it. Half of the time it would start and say invalid battery and I would start the entire process over again. I complained so much to Tmobile that they exchanged it for a Motorola V360 which has all the same features, except BETTER reception and an MP3 player.I wouldnt reccommend this phone to anyone....p.s. My husband has the silver one and the same thing happend to his! ... Read more

KEEP looking....

Just right
I have resisted cell phones for years and years.In fact, I hated them.I finally gave in, and I got this Samsung b/c it was cheap without being suspiciously cheap (i.e. "free") and received a good review at CNet.I have to say, I have been very impressed.Yeah, I'm a rookie when it comes to these things, but I've been using telephones for a good long time.What I know is that between the Verizon reception in my area and the phone itself, I have call quality that is far superior to the setup I had for the last year and half on VOiP.Granted, VOiP perhaps just sucks, but I didn't think that in going cellular I would actually have better call quality.My brother used to hate talking to me for more than 20 minutes.With the samsung and verizon, we have far more enjoyable conversations.

Good phone with a couple drawbacks
First off, this phone is very thin and light. It is hardly noticeable in my pocket and has a cool design. I have tried the 1.3 megapixel camera and am pleased with how it functions in comparrison to my previous phone the Motorola V360. The calls seem clear, the signal is strong and it has been pretty reliable.
Thin and Lightweight
I upgraded from my Motorola V180 to this camera phone because I upgraded my plan to have the myfaves feature. My review is a little comparison to my old phone considering this is my first Samsung phone.
A sleek improvement on the T609, but... where's microSD?
I held back from buying a Samsung T609, knowing that this phone would soon be released.The functions are almost identical, and the new form doesn't disappoint - sleek, thin, yet feels sturdy and works great.However, they took out the microSD memory expansion slot!Why the tradeoff, Samsung?Beware if you're looking to use its MP3 functionality or to make good use of its 1.3MP camera: with only its 21MB of internal memory at your disposal, it won't hold much. ...

This is by far the worst phone i have ever owned
Where to begin...
Great Phone
Does everything it is supposed to.I had no problem transferring two accounts from Verizon to the T-Mobile PEBLs I purchased from Amazon.Bluetooth works great with a bluetooth hands free wired-in car kit I had installed.

Had to return this phone
I made the mistake of accepting the Motorola PEBL when my mobile phone contract was renewed a few months ago and I was up for a new phone. The sales person assured me this was the best phone, latest model, etc etc.Two weeks later I had to go back to the telephone company and return the phone: the bluetooth feature wasn't working, I could not pick my voice mail, it would ring sometimes and sometimes not, and when they transferred the contacts from the old phone to this one, they lost half of my numbers. It is the worst phone I have ever owned. After that, I found out other people I knew had had the same problems with the PEBL and had to return it also. The phone company traded the PEBL for a Nokia, which is a far better phone. ... Read more

The Good the Bad and the Ugly
I got this phone with Verizon service. If you look at the features, it seems like a pretty impressive piece, but if you want to use it for other than just a phone, you have to deal with many shortcomings.

The I-870 from Nextel can be a tricky phone to get working. With that said once you get it working, it does a very good job of being a Phone, Camera, Video and MP3 player, all in one. As a phone it works great, compared to other cellular phones, it's a bit heavy but if your a nextel user your already use to that. As a camera, it is up to par with any other camera phone on the market, better than most models I tried. As a video player, again it's up to par with any other video/phone on the market. As far as the MP3 player goes, the sound is good for a phone/MP3 player but this is not an IPOD. Most reviews I read, users stated they had difficulty getting songs onto the phone. The micro SD card included with the unit can only hold 5 or 6 songs. You will probably want to get a bigger micro card, otherwise why even use the MP3 player. I would suggest a 512mb card that will hold 100 songs or more. Here is how I got my MP3's onto the phone. I tried the included software but got no where when I tried to load more than 10 songs onto my 512MB card and get them to play on the I-870. I did find some easy software that works, "DB Power AMP converter". First you must format the card inside your phone it will be an option in the menu on your phone under the media tab. Once you have downloaded the DB software to your computer, it will ask you to select the songs on disc or on your computer that you want converted. You then select all the songs you want to put onto your phone. Now that you have selected all your songs, you must make sure the file name (Artist and Song name) are no longer than 19 characters total(you will have to rename the tracks or artist titles to make them fit, otherwise they will not show up, or play on your I 870). Now convert them, with the following settings: MP3 Lame -> Bit rate 40KBps -> Frequency 16000 HZ -> output to your micro sd card -> convert. Once this process is complete, then take the micro SD card and put it in your phone, turn on your audio player and let the songs load. At this point your songs will all be on your phone and you will be able to play them. There is one problem here the songs were converted at very low speeds, so the quality sucks. To fix this go back and reformat the card inside your phone, it will erase all your files, which is needed. Now take the card out and put it back into your card reader, open up "DB Power Amp Converter" Take all the songs you previously converted and convert them again, this time use the following settings:MP3 Lame -> Bit rate 96KBps -> Frequency48000HZ -> output to your micro sd card -> convert. Take the card out and put it into your phone, select audio player, and all your songs will load and play with near CD quality. Don't ask me why you have to rename the files to make them 19 characters or less, and don't ask me why you have to convert all the files at a low quality/frequency load them to your phone, then re convert them at high quality/frequency, because I don't know, but it works. This process was a bit of a hassle for me, especially since I had to try a bunch of things to get this working, you just have to follow these instructions and you'll be up and running. Once I got the songs loaded, I play the audio player all the time, take alot of photos, use the video player, and talk on the phone daily with 0 problems.

Easy to understand but I had a problem
I got this phone and it was easy for me to figure it out even though I've never had a flip phone. I went through the book and got everything set up.This said, my phone would only light up when someone called. I went in and reset all my tones. Finally I called Cingular and they had me call Nokia. Nokia said that there was something wrong with the Normal setting, it's where you can set it for normal, outdoors, meetings etc. I could either set it to outdoors and have the ringer turned down or return it or call Cingular and tell them what Nokia told me. I called Cingular and they had me ship it back and sent me a replacement. I liked everything about this phone except that it didn't ring or vibrate unless it was set to outdoors.

A good phone...nothing less, nothing more.
This new phone which I bought through Cingular at a discount is good, but not great.The ONE thing I really don't like about this phone is the volume.I can barely hear someone on the other end.Even after turning the volume all the way up and turning the noise detection program on and off...still nothing.My Nokia 6010 was much better.The camera is okay, nothing great.Turning this thing on and off takes forever....much slower than my other Nokia, which was 3 years old.Yes, it has a radio, BUT you have to BUY a headset to be able to listen....rip off!
Good service, bad phone

If you're looking for the ultimate in features and high-speed wireless broadband content, look no further than the feature-packed LG VX9800m, also known as The V. Packed to the gills with a hidden QWERTY keypad, Bluetooth, a 1.3 megapixel camera, a miniSD memory card slot, stereo speakers, an MP3 player, and much more, the VX9800m is a mobile powerhouse. And if that's not enough, the phone also supports Verizon's exciting V Cast service, which allows you to download or stream full motion video and 3D games, all on your handset. The other big news is that the VX9800m supports Verizon Wireless' music service, which lets you discover and jam out to tunes wherever you roam.Read more

Needs Improvement
I would like to consider this phone a work in progress and hope that they make improvements. Everyone that I know that has this phone has had their share of issues with the phone and I have had mine as well. Not as bad as everyone elses, but increasingly worse. Before I go into details about the issues I first want to say that I really love this phone, I just wish it was more reliable. It IS a little bulkier than a lot of other phones out there, but it's not TOO bad. It's no RAZR, however I find that to be a good thing because the RAZR feels like it's going to break if I open it too fast (my mom and sister recently got RAZRs). Anyway back to The V. I like the QWERTY keyboard but I rarely use it. It was cool at first but most heavy texters are familiar with T9 (the one that automatically figures out what you're saying as you type it). I've found that to be much faster than using the little keyboard and much more safer to use while driving.
More like 4.5 stars
I got this phone because I used to have a Nokia 6810 that folded out a complete QWERTY keyboard.I grew attached to it, and it was really hard to find another phone with qwerty keyboard that wasn't a whole blackberry device.Also, this phone is comparable in size to the 6810.I had feared it would be huge, but it packs a lot in a little space.It's no razr, and it isn't something you'd wear around your neck or anything -- but it isn't like hauling a PDA around, either.
withstands the worst and keeps on ticking
The reason I write this review is not for all the great features this phone has (and it has alot) but for its amazing durability.I have done everything to this phone besides run it over with a car and it still works as well as the first day I got it.Being the clumsy person I am, I have dropped this phone on numerous occasions and like most phones nothing happens.On two occasions though, I have been walking up the second flight of stairs to my third floor apartment and dropped my phone.After falling, hitting the 1st set of stairs, bouncing through and hitting the 2nd set of stairs, bouncing again and finally hitting the pavement below, the only sign that this occured were a few scratches on the sides - all functions still worked perfectly.Also, just recently I dropped my phone in water.It was completely submerged for 5-10 seconds before I could get to it.Something similar happened to my husband's last phone and it never worked the same again.After I dried the phone, took apart what I could (such as removing the battery, chip etc) and left it to dry for 3-4 hours, it had only a minor glitch with recharging the battery but even this spontaneously fixed itself within 24 hours.
