As forkee said, it's only for the gsm Razr's AND only if it was made after January 30th. So if it's before then, it's fine..

i had the same problems with my v300 . it would just drop the call even if the signal was good. so it seems to be a common motorolla issue. i ended up getting a samsung and havent had any problems with it at all.

I have the v557 now, and the other day it freaked out and started doing a strobe effect. A few days before, the clock was upside down on the face.
Everyonce in a while it freaks out with calls. Yesterday I tried calling my friend, and it didn't ring, but went straight to a recording of some lady speaking SPanish.... That, and I had to get it replaced once already for the speaker breaking when you closed it, b/c they didn't put enough padding between the face and the other part to keep it from breaking the plastic around the speaker. I love the phone's design and features, but hate the problems... -------------------- "Somebody give me a fire...so I can burn this city down." - Widespread Panic

In general Motorola is crap. I'm not necessarily trying to be biased but this opinion is based on customer returns and many years in the wireless business. They do however come up with so very innovative designs like the RAZOR, PEBL, and SILVR. However, the menu system and functions is basically the same $hit that was in the previous model. For instance, a $100 Motorola has basically the same functionality as a $200 plus Motorola. Oh and Sony Ericsson is really starting to make great phones!! Nokia and Samsung rulz in quality and functionality.

Well , RAZR V3 handsets were experiencing a drop call/display issue because of a defective part, so Cingular and T-Mobile issued a recall. I work for T-Mobile and if you purchased a RAZOR before the 1st of March you are okay. True YOU may not have had problems with Motorola but I made my previous statement based off of my experinces with motorola products, from customers returns, which hurts my pockets as my job is commissioned based, and others within the industry. However I do like the Motorola V360 and in my opinion it is ALOT better option as opposed to the RAZOR. It is like $50 dollars cheaper and has more figures. The Pebl is okay as well but the real point I wanted to make was that Motorola doesn't offer that much of a leap in terms of features from subsequent models. |

Before you guys get all worked up its not all Razors, just GSM V3i Razor. It was just released with Itunes. It has been recalled but it was recalled by Motorola so unless u got your Razor like this month most likely u don't got the kind thats effected.
I just got my self a 8125 aka HTC Wizard i must say its one of the best phones on the market. --------------------  All I have in this world is my Balls and my Word and I'm not breaking em for no one,- Tony Montana Team 6gc 2005 |
