[edit] Verizon

This handset is also available for Verizon in the United States. Anyone wan't to find out the specifics and add some info about it. I could be wrong but I beleive the Verizon version is the first BREW version of the razr available worldwide. Could someone please look into this and make the proper changes ? ***Nov 2006***

GrayMatter 19:07, 17 September 2007 (UTC)

Due to the extreme differences in the interface and the functionality of Verizon's V3c, V3m, and now RAZR2 9m, I recommend that these phones should be split into their own page. Any thoughts?

lacro15 I have a V3m from verizon and the newest version of it has OBEX and can upload songs from a computer using a usb port. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.10.17.166 (talk) 21:55, 23 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] More Colours?

I'd heard there was an exclusive 'designer' gold RAZR released only in Europe and East Asia, but not much more. Can anyone clarify this?

Do an image search on your favorite search engine for gold RAZR. Looks like there was one but its kind of ugly.

The Gold RAZR(V3i) is a special 1000 release edition from Dolce and Gabbana. It is a GSM phone and will work for Cingular, T-Mobile, and other GSM providers

There are two versions of this phone. One is a limited edition and engraved with a number (XXXX/1000), and comes in a black D&G Box. This was sold only in D&G outlets in Europe, in Dec 2005.

The second version is a gold V3 that comes in a gold-colored box. It is a second colloboration between Motorola and D&G but it is not a limited edition, and not numbered.

[edit] Thickness

I was just looking at this again, and was wondering why this is listed as one of the thinnest clamshell phones in the world? To the best of my knowledge it is still easily the thinnest out there. --Apyule 01:06, 24 August 2005 (UTC)

It very possibly may be, but there could still be some super-thin unknown phone that's thinner. And plus, this it's safer than saying "the thinnest" and then, when a thinner phone comes out, the 2nd thinnest, and so on. --daunrealist 02:44, 26 February 2006 (UTC)
While I agree it'd be silly to mark "the 2nd thinnest" etc., there's no harm in saying it's currently the thinnest and using an "As of ..." link so it can be corrected in the future. Pimlottc 10:10, 27 March 2006 (UTC)
But is it really the thinnest? I know Slashdot is no source, but see World's Slimmest Phone. --cesarb 18:42, 27 March 2006 (UTC)
No the razr is no longer the thinest commericaly available phone. Samsung and Sanyo both have phones released in America (and maybe other countries) that are thiner than the razr. There are at least 3 other commericaly available phones in america from the major carriers/manufactures that are thinner than the razr --Nov 9th 2006
Really! I didn't know that what are they called?
Samsung a-900 and the Sanyo Katana. Actually, I have the Sanyo Katana, and it's actually a little thicker then the RAZR. :)

[edit] Material

How much of the RAZR is really aluminium, and how much is plastic? I've seen discussion about this, and nobody really seems to know. There is a consensus, however, that most of it is plastic, with the top cover and battery cover made from either aluminium or plastic with a different finish. Anyhow, it's misleading to say that it's got an "aluminium case". -- mawa 23:24, 16 September 2005 (UTC)

The keypad, the outer front panel, and the outer rear panel (except the battery cover) are aluminium, I think. The only reason I say that it is because when I grab my RAZR out of a cold area (like my car in winter) I notice that those outer panels are exceptionally cold. -- Danner578 03:07, 10 March 2006 (UTC)

The top flip assembly and the battery door are made of aluminium. The insode flip housing and the ousing around the keyboard area is magnesium. The rear housing near the PCB and speaker alert is plastic, to allow for RF. The CLI lens is glass and the inside/main lens is plastic. I 'm sure that the keyboard is aluminium as well, but 100%.

I have checked that, at least for V3i, the keypad is made of 'nickel-plated copper'.Peterwhy 03:12, 24 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Razr family

The RAZR V3r should be added. It is a new phone similar to the V3i sold by Cingular. The difference between the V3r and V3i is that the V3r uses Motorola's Digital Audio Player for music playback and the V3i uses iTunes for music playback.

i think it should be renamed to razr series or v3 series. This article talks about all the razrs, the v3i, v3x, v3c, and the v3

Only barely. Not really enough to warrant a renaming, just enough to provide some scope on the V3. - Kuzain 19:44, 12 April 2006 (UTC)
What about the other (non v3) razrs? Chrisny2 01:54, 14 June 2006 (UTC)
Indeed. IMO, as per HP Pavilion (computer) (the article title encompases the entire model line), this article should still be named Motorola RAZR. I'll change unless someone has a compelling argument against. --Mike Tigas 04:40, 4 July 2006 (UTC)
On second thought, there is also the Motorola ROKR E1 page to consider. Still, I think popular culture would probably just say "Motorola RAZR" or "Motorola ROKR". *shrug* --Mike Tigas 04:44, 4 July 2006 (UTC)


The V3X although somewhat similar in appearance, the PCB archetechure is too completely different to say they are from the same family. FOr instance, the V300, V500, V600 are from the Triplets family, and the V535, V550 and V620 (V600i) are from Triplets Refresh.

[edit] Bluetooth Class 1

I think it's worth mentioning that this phone uses Bluetooth class 1 instead of class 2, unlike many other phones.

[edit] Cultural impact?

I would like to point out that this phone wasn't much of a cultural phenomenon in the UK and I assume that same about Europe. Perhaps this should be retitled Cultual Impact in North America, as I doubt the phone would have been popular in Asia or Australia either. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 85.211.65.232 (talk) 18:31, 7 September 2007 (UTC)


It seems to me this phone is everywhere these days. Is it possible it has become something of a cultural phenomenon? Perhaps something should be added to this effect.

I agree. This is one of the things that distinguishes this article from other phone articles. The phone seems to be popular with celebrities, and the phone is featured in the game show Cash Cab.

Not to mention, it's also featured in various tv shows, such as 24 (TV series) and even on Spanish novellas. 66.176.10.224 21:34, 26 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] GSM-Java spam

GSM-Java: I reverted your first link because, although it was described as "Motorola RAZR V3 Specifications", it pointed to [1] - the front page of a web site that contains approximately no information about the phone in question. I have two points:

  • Personally I don't think that WP should contain a list of review links - people know how to use Google. On that basis, personally I would remove all of the commercial review links on the page, not just yours: I removed yours because it was irrelevant.
  • I suggest that you read the Wikipedia Introduction - we do not have the concept of "moderators".

StephenHildrey 18:09, 18 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] US-centric network information

IMHO the article would be better without highly-changeable, US-centric network availability information (for example "Motorola released a CDMA version of the RAZR with Verizon Wireless and ALLTEL on December 7 2005" - though admittedly it's not all US-centric). The article is about the V3 and I don't think it benefits by going into detail of network-specific availability issues, whether in the US or otherwise. Opinions? StephenHildrey 08:48, 5 January 2006 (UTC)

Mentioning Verizon could show where the demand for a CDMA version came from. Also, I think that Cingular is the first and only carrier offering the black version so far, so the mention of the carrier is arguably relevant there. Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong though.

[edit] "upper end-budget phone"

I have to admit, the phrase "upper end-budget phone" sounds like it came straight out of the Simpsons. Though it did put a huge smile on my face, I think it might be a bit of a self-contradiction. I'm not so sure there are different tiers of within the term "budget". Or am I the only one that thinks this sounds a bit funny? [pd]

i wouldn't say it sounds funny, but it does sound innapropriate. if i could afford it, how is it upper :end-budget? it cost me 100$ after rebate, an appropriate price for a well-designed phone —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 66.97.208.139 (talk) 16:24, 6 December 2006 (UTC).

[edit] Price off by factor of 10?

"...in Mexico for $2999 from Telcel, in Canada..."

Is the price off, or is this a Mexican currency? Sorry if this is an ignorant question.

Yeah that's what I was gonna ask. If it's Pesos, shouldn't it have something other than a "$"?

The official symbol for the Mexican Peso is "$".

it is approximately 11.78 Mexican pesos per US dollar, in Mexican shops this is rounded to 10.

[edit] RAZR V3 and RAZR V3x / Merge with V3x

I think Motorola RAZR V3x should be merged into this. The Motorola V1150 monkier is more of a sidenote/footnote and doesn't warrant the model having a new page, as it's still in the RAZR V3 family of phones. --Mike Tigas 04:48, 4 July 2006 (UTC)

Agreed. Motorola is marketing the V3x as another installment in the RAZR line, and the article should reflect that. Additionally, the V3x article is quite brief, no larger than the section in the V3 main article that is dedicted to the RAZR V3i. --Anonymous 12:15, 5 July 2006 (AEST)

The V3x is a completely different phone. It is the same concept as the original V3, but built for 3G networks. Software and hardware is completely different. It should have it's own article. 129.94.6.29 07:34, 17 July 2006 (UTC)

I think that the RAZR V3 & RAZR V3x should be merged. They are obviously very closely related. --swat671 03:22, 6 July 2006 (UTC)

I don't believe that V3X should be merged into this article. I develop software for mobile phones and they are not remotely similar. The V3X is considerably thicker. (it does not follow exactly the same aesthetics as the V3 line). It has 3G. All the others on the RAZR V3 page are just small variations of the design, while the V3X is a totally different phone. Richardwooding

They should probably not be merged, since as noted above, they share little in common in terms of actual hardware internals (even though they are superficially similar). The "RAZR" name is now well established, so Motorola will continue to use it, even for products that have nothing in common. For example, the new Motorola RAZR K1 or Motorola K1 RAZR does bear the "RAZR" moniker, and is relatively thin, but is not the same design. --Slordak 14:34, 20 July 2006 (UTC)

And now we the Motorola RAZR V3xx, which is yet another phone which has absolutely nothing in common with the original Motorola RAZR V3 other than the name and the general "thin factor". The software is different, the hardware is different, and the features are different. -- Slordak 19:16, 1 August 2006 (UTC)

The topics could be merged and the hard/software differences noted

I agree with merging them together, but you should also put all the other models too. --Jmclark911 01:14, 31 July 2006 (UTC)

Don't merge. V3 and V3x are totally different phones. The software and hardware are very different. The motorola 3G platform is considerably more advanced than the old 2/2.5G platform in terms of what kind of software (Java ME) that you can install and run on it. The only relationship they have is an artificial marketing one. A note would suffice to alert people that the V3x is in a different article Sbwoodside 05:04, 2 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] No more Razr v3I ( Am i right? )

I never touched it. I wanted to try it. But no more v3i.

--Poinana9284728 15:22, 3 August 2006 (UTC)Poinana9284728

I agree. Fucking MTVers. I don't need that shit. I hate it when people SMS when they CAN DO IT OVER THE GODDAMN INTERNET!! --84.249.253.201 08:24, 26 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Appropriateness of tag

In my opinion this article should not be tagged as needing cleaning up to meet Wikipedia quality standards. There is nothing wrong with the article itself. This is not the appropritate place to discuss problems with the phone itself. Remember: that's opinion, not fact

[edit] Moving V3c/V3m

I'm going to move the V3c and V3m part of the Wiki to the "3G Models of the RAZR", as they are in fact 3G phones (both support EV-DO, which is Verizon's 3G network). The V3i and V3im are, as far as I know, still only 2G phones so they will stay where they are.

[edit] v3m

I have a v3m with Sprint service. It does not have a problem turning the startup sound completely off. I disable the startup sound in the settings and it works fine.

Also, I don't have a problem with contacts... no glitch causing multiple entries from adding additional information for each contact....

Unless there's a citation, that information should probably be removed--70.182.191.138 18:33, 1 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] V3t

I see no mention of the v3t in the article. From what I understand the v3t is basically the v3i just branded for tmobile [2] I was confused momentarily when reading this and didn't see it mentioned, anybody want to mention it in the article? Anyway I've uploaded more a photo of the phone itself and the keypad Image:Razrv3t.jpg and Image:Razrv3tkeypad.jpg if needed. I'm not sure if anybody wants to use them on here or a dif. language wiki so it's uploaded to commons and under GFDL licensing. --ImmortalGoddezz 07:18, 1 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] v3i (red)

Although I can't find anything on the internet about the existance of this model of the phone, I assure you it does exist as i have one here in front of me. If anyone can find a link to it, perhaps with an image it would be great. Pedgeth 00:06, 7 November 2006 (UTC)

actually,ive just scanned the box art. should i upload it to replace the (in my opinion redundant) image of the v3i keypad? Pedgeth 18:10, 7 November 2006 (UTC)

Tesco sells the V3i (red): http://direct.tesco.com/q/R.200-7358.aspx --Dave 21:25, 5 April 2007 (UTC)

More information is available at http://www.joinred.com/and http://direct.motorola.com/hellomoto/red/--Dave 21:47, 9 April 2007 (UTC)

The above link to the Tesco site no longer works. --Dave (talk) 20:16, 19 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Now For SPRINT!

The RAZR is now for Sprint! Now there is gonna be some tough competetion between the Katana (mobile phone) and the RAZR V3 (now in Red!)

[edit] Modding section

Anyone else think the descriptions of the external links in this section sound a little too enthusiastic? --WikiSlasher 11:55, 10 November 2006 (UTC)

Yes, I'm not sure that any of those should even be there. I'm removing a couple of recent additions, but unless someone can show that there is some reference value to any of those, that entire list should probably be removed. ScottW 12:33, 10 November 2006 (UTC)

Do you two even know anything about modding? Your posts suggests you don't. Leave the modding links in then until someone more qualified than you can make that determination. If you don't like the text descriptions fine (have you ever listened to the radio or whatched TV? now there's some enthusiastic advertising), change them to your liking but I'll keep putting those links back until you find something else to do. As for you ScottW you should perform your own due diligence don't force us to SHOW YOU if they are valuable or not, go find out yourself and stop being lazy.

If you want to talk about useless sections on this page eliminate the appearance of the phone in TV shows and movies. Who really gives a damn about this section? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 67.126.206.13 (talk • contribs) .

I've continued to remove the modding links that somebody keeps adding. There's been recent spamming of this page since the list of external modding links was removed. Just a reminder Wikipedia is NOT a vehicle for advertising, it is not a repository of links, it is not a directory, and it is not an indiscriminate collection of information. Please do not reinsert the external links for modding webpages. Thanks. --ImmortalGoddezz 21:44, 28 November 2006 (UTC)

Hi, how about more information?

Well Immortal, how about actually LOOKING at those links? They aren't spam and they aren't selling anything. These links are just as valid as the links appearing later on in the page from Motorola. The links you keep removing are about the modding community. Maybe you aren't into modding phones, but millions of other people are. Why is it so threatening to you that modding links appear?

I wish someone who actually knew about phones was in charge of this page and not someone who knows little about them. I will keep adding these links. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Pacificamark (talk • contribs)

I have looked at those sites. But as previously stated wikipedia is not a repository of links, it's NOT A DIRECTORY, it's not the white pages or yellow pages, etc. (please read over WP:NOT). If people want to mod their phones they can google for modding sites like the rest of us. This page is about the phone, not the modding community therefore it is NOT appropriate on this site. Though I might reiterate the question why is it so threatening to you that these links be taken out? Do you have a personal stake in one of them? If so that is still spam. Given WP:NOT those links are spam regardless. If you continue to insert these links I think this situation should be brought up Wikipedia:Resolving disputes through either informal mediation or formal. --ImmortalGoddezz 00:54, 30 November 2006 (UTC)


If it is NOT a directory then what in the heck are all those links at the bottom of the page doing there directing us to the Motorola site? See the "External Links" section. Hello?

I will continue to enter these links. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Pacificamark (talk • contribs)

Taken directly from WP:SPAM Adding external links to an article for the purpose of promoting a website or a product is not allowed, and is considered to be spam. Although the specific links may be allowed under some circumstances, repeatedly adding links will in most cases result in all of them being removed. Since the external links that you continue to add, add nothing to the article besides 'here's a list of helpful modding links' and is not used directly in the article to verify something and people repeatedly keep adding them it's considered spam.
If you examine the external links currently in the list 9 of them are official websites that are allowed by wikipedia policy. One is the Harvard Working Knowledge that can be integrated into the article as a reference but since it passes WP:V and WP:RS there's no reason why it should be taken out of the external links section for now. The last two seem more like unofficial sites and can be removed since they're not articles. --ImmortalGoddezz 19:18, 30 November 2006 (UTC)


You stated: "What should be linked to "Articles about any organization, person, web site, or other entity should link to the official site if any."

These are all official modding sites. These are beneficial to anyone who owns a V3 and wants to do more with it.—Preceding unsigned comment added by Pacificamark (talk • contribs)

The article is about the Motorola RAZR V 3. This article is NOT about modding. There is a modding section, that's it. NONE of those links that you keep inserting are official Motorola modding pages, as in published by motorola. They are not associated in any way with the company besides using their product. --ImmortalGoddezz 20:13, 30 November 2006 (UTC)


I will continue to add until unable to do so. I will then get others to help since you don't understand.—Preceding unsigned comment added by Pacificamark (talk • contribs)

They are NOT spam they are VALID INFORMATION just like everything else on this page. This whole page is an advertisement to buy the V3. If anythying I'm helping wikipedia in its quest to not only spread accurate knowledge freely but to provide links (like your entire page is lousy with links) to this knowledge. You are in need of supervision. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Pacificamark (talk • contribs)

He couldn't be reported to admins until he'd been warned with a final warning which took a while since he wasn't warned every time. Anyway thank you for helping out with the page and for reverting when he'd spammed it was appreciated! --ImmortalGoddezz 04:07, 1 December 2006 (UTC)
This is ridiculous. The article mentions "modding" the phone numerous times to achieve useful and/or functional features, but somehow that's off limits in the external links section. Make up your minds as to whether or not "modding" is an acceptible topic in articles and either bring the links back or remove mention of it from the article. Other technology-related articles feature much similar content; have a look around. 209.129.117.2 10:26, 3 December 2006 (UTC)
Just a comment to say that the link 'Motorola unlock code requests in this forum' seems to be a redundant service now, so should probably be removed (though the page is still there).--Ndaisley 12:27, 28 August 2007 (UTC)

i'm not trying to pick fights with anyone, but the arguments against including a mention of modding seem really confused to me. you need to do more than call it irrelevent; why IS it irrelevent? it's a capability of the phone which many people have taken advantage of, and which there is an online community in support of it. also it seems like some people are arguing for/against having a modding section, and some for/against having modding links. i'd say having either on their own is kinda dumb, but what's wrong with a small section in the article discussing the issue, with references and a couple external links to good representative sites? to have no mention of it at all is absurd (or even worse, to have a mention of it 'as seen below' when the below has been removed, which is what it is now)

Taken directly from WP:EL

as a sidenote: if one person keeps removing a link and another keeps adding, that doesn't make the link spam, but it does make BOTH of them in violation of wiki policy. don't just revert back and forth.

here is the modding section from march:

[edit] Modding

As a result of the overwhelming popularity of the RAZR, the modding community has been phenomenally successful in cracking the phones' underlying structures and developing "mods" that users can implement on their own handsets.

By modding the V3 RAZR it is possible to unlock special features not available on the stock phone. The most common mods include adding video recording support, uploading Java games from a PC, changing the image on the outer LCD screen (the "cl.gif", which normally displays the carrier's logo), getting rid of the service provider lock, getting rid of the date and time display on the main menu screen, adding new "skins", altering the text and menu items, and much more.

The V3c, on the Verizon Wireless network, has a unique Verizon-designed GUI, which is the case with nearly all Verizon Wireless phones, which is more cumbersome than the standard Motorola GUI. Many of the phone's features are also crippled. Wired News suggested this was done intentionally so that users of the phone would have to pay data rate charges to send images and other files over the network instead of just using a USB cable connected to their computer.[1] Through modding, the Verizon interface can be replaced by ALLTEL's, giving it the original Motorola user interface, a faster button response time, and a few additional features. Another mod for the Verizon RAZR's is called tethering, in which the phone acts like a modem for a computer, letting the computer go online through Verizon's broadband network and it only costs minutes, not cell phone internet fees.

On later October 2006, Sprint released their carrier branded version of the RAZR V3m. The Sprint version has all functions enabled that were crippled in the release by Verizon, and it uses a Sprint designed GUI that is regarded as a more efficient implementation than that of Verizon.[2]

since there hasn't been any discussion of this in most of a year, i'll leave this up to debate for whoever is here now. if there's no response i'll put it back up (edited to suit the current article). --dan 01:06, 4 December 2007 (UTC)

The debate was not over the modding section but the linkspam in the modding section. The link spam that was continually added back into the article by a (now blocked) user and a few IPs. I haven't been keeping a close eye on the article so I'm not sure when the modding section itself was removed however it wasn't removed when the link spam was. Feel free to add it back in. --ImmortalGoddezz 01:34, 4 December 2007 (UTC)
there is definitely no reason for that many links, and the descriptions are rather glowing. i'd like to have a couple of links though, for people who are interested. maybe one guide and one forum? i'm also not sure why you're calling it spam, if you wouldn't mind explaining. it seems like someone just overeager to share an idea. --dan (talk) 23:49, 11 December 2007 (UTC)
The user/IP who was adding that stuff wasn't overeager to share an idea so much as overeager to put his own websites on the list, though that wasn't realized until later (google the users name and they'll show up). When the user/ip kept adding links as well as his own they were all removed citing WP:NOT a directory. After a while the list gradually kept getting bigger and bigger and I believe, if I remember right, the argument took a turn and went down the 'why should so and so links deserve to be on there but not these links' at which point all the links that weren't motorola were removed, though the modding section and references for that were left in. The modding links really didn't add anything to the article besides a 'here look at this particular modding site/board". Personally I don't think there needs to be some 'go here to learn how to mod your motorola phone' because that can be easily accomplished using Google or any other search engine. However if it's a reliable source and gives more info and can be added into the article as a reference.. but that's just me, and if you feel that the article needs them then go ahead.--ImmortalGoddezz 00:40, 12 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] House

On the Fox TV show House, Dr. House's medical staff also uses RAZRs, I think that should be included with the House fact as well. And while I am on the subject of TV Shows... on Bones the character Booth uses a RAZR as well.

I think the prison break fact should be moved up, you see Alex using one in just about every episode

[edit] Title

Because the article describes more types of RAZRs than the V3, I think the title should be changed to just Motorola RAZR. The truth from texas 23:53, 22 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] V3i/t

I think that there should be a seperate article about the V3i and V3t, since those phones are essentially different than the others. Any feedback is appreciated.Chamillitaryboi94 19:51, 3 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Prison Break

Both Kellerman and Mahone use RAZR cellphones, it can cleary be seen in the episode Rendezvous. Someone has been messing up with that info, so I`m reverting it and waiting for comments about it in case i´m wrong (but i doubt it, since is my cellphone nd recognized almost instantly.--ometzit<col> 23:59, 18 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Supposedly GPS enabled?

According to "Wireless Run Tracker", the Motorola RAZR is among those phones that are GPS enabled. It says to "Carry your GPS-enabled cell phone while you run and get real-time feedback on pace and distance". On the list of supported phones, various versions of the RAZR are present, and there is no mention of pairing with another GPS device. What do you think, Sirs? --Eptin 18:28, 12 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Deleted list of cultural references

The list of cultural references had gotten insanely long, with people reporting every appearance of the phone in every TV show and movie. I took the risk of deleting the whole list and replacing it with a short paragraph that highlights a few examples. This phone is so widely used that it's meaningless to report every one we see. I thought about shortening the list to 5-10 examples, but I have no idea how to choose the "best" examples. I propose that we don't add any references unless the RAZR was actually the topic of the show or episode, such as Oprah and Bono introducing the Product Red edition. The Cultural Impact section could use some further editing. Oanjao 16:26, 20 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Date of introduction

OMG, this article doesn't even say on what date or month was this phone introduced in 2004? --ChoChoPK (球球PK) (talk | contrib) 02:03, 22 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Productred.gif

Image:Productred.gif is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

[edit] Motorola RAZR V3a (CDMA Phone)

I've noticed a lack of a section for the Motorola V3a.

I'd be willing to throw up an article about them (having first hand experience with them as a Cellular Phone Salesman and Technician Apprentice), but I was wondering what the community in general thought about it. Would it be worth throwing up an article about? I'll have to do a bit of research (See what other carriers other then MetroPCS, where I work, carry it), but it'd be my first contribution to Wikipedia - and I'm looking kinda forward to it. Consensus?

[edit] 1.3 MEGAPIXEL. U GOTA BE KIDING

WHY WOULD ANYONE PAY $800 FOR A PHONE WITH 1.3 MEGAPIXEL WHEN U CAN GET A PHONE WITH 5 MEGAPIXEL FOR $500 —Preceding unsigned comment added by 78.105.134.113 (talk) 19:15, 1 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Memory -- How much is there?

Throughout the article, it suggests theres 30 MB, 10 MB, and 13.4 MB on the Razr...Which one is it? Is it for different models? I'd log in to post this, but really...I've never seen this before. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.194.106.186 (talk) 18:43, 31 May 2008 (UTC)
