New Motorola Razr V3c Cellphone (Gray)
The Motorola RAZR, in its various incarnations, has been on the market for almost two years. The RAZR V3c is a newer version and the first to be offered on Verizon’s network. It keeps all the usual RAZR virtues intact, including its anodized aluminum housing, gorgeous looks and a beautifully thin design that you’ll barely notice in your pocket.

The flat keypad works better here than it does on T-Mobile’s PEBL, and poses no problem in normal use. Our phone exhibited a slight looseness in the hinge and the top of the keypad, but it had been tested before and had an unknown history. Other RAZRs we’ve tested all had tightly wound hinges with close tolerances.

Sound quality is clear and noise free, with slightly muffled treble. It’s not the clearest sounding phone we’ve heard, though it’s close. We were less enthused with the camera. It uses a new 1.3 megapixel sensor, which is normally superior to the VGA cameras on less expensive phones. But test photos were over-exposed, with blown out highlights.
