Ok, I'll be the first to review this product here. I got the Motorola Razr3 a few weeks ago when the battery on my smart phone gave up. I wasn't to happy with Verizon anyway so I changed my plan to Cingular and basically got the phone free. Everyone has been raving about how this phone is the greatest thing since sliced bread; I'm not a convert. While it's very stylish and has a very high "cool" factor, the reception is something that's less that perfect. I purchased the Bluetooth headset with it (also a Motorola product) that isn't bad at all. A bonus of the phone is that it comes with an IM function (AIM in this case). But typing with the keypad leave a lot to be desired and will lead to frustration on both your part as well as the recipient of your IM. Bottom Line- Save your cash
Overall Rating: 6
Value: 4 (Mine was free but price tag is pretty big if you buy)
Display: 6 (Very nice)
Sound: 6 (speaker phone is nice)
Reception: 5
Cool Factor: 9 (very cool phone)
I had the same issue with reception. The battery life is a good selling point though.

Nice blog and reviews, I couldn't go for the motorolla interface so I went Treo 650.
