Ok, so I've started looking for a new cell phone. Top priority is price... I want cheap. I found out that if I renew my contract I can get a few phones for free, and now its down to figuring out which one I want.
The Motorola Razr V3 is one of my options, and it seems like I always hear lots of buzz about this phone. The only thing that concerns me is that its thin... and I like to hold my phone with my shoulder. And it seems fragile... I'm notorious for dropping my phone ALL the time. Any Razr users out there that can give me the low down on this phone? (and, what color is "me"... pink, blue, black or silver)
One of my other options is this Nokia phone... Its pretty similar to the phone I have now (as far as size/build) and I like that. It has this neat little button on the side that pops the phone open too (although you can open it normally also). Anyone have any input on this phone?
So, what do you think? For a girl who "doesn't care" what phone she has, this is getting a pretty serious HAHA! I want to just PICK ONE and buy it... and first I'm drawn to the Razr b/c it seems neat, but I'm afraid it'll be too thin to hold or too fragile for my regular beatings.
Definitely go to a store and hold the razr phone before you buy. It felt really "plasticy" to me, cheaply made and over priced.
I personally bought a Treo 650 -- which is probably overkill for your needs -- but I bought it on ebay new for about $400 less than what the Sprint store was charging.

The RAZR is fragile and hard to hold with the shoulder! I am glad I do not have mine anymore!

I ought the black Razr two years ago when they first came out and I have hated it from the beginning. You cannot hold it with your shoulder and it is not comfortable at ALL. But I am too cheap at the moment to buy a new phone...I am waiting for the Iphone to come down a little and then i am goingf to get that!

the RAZR is a great phone but it is VERY fagile. If you are a dropper steer clear of it.

If you drop your phone a lot like I do, I wouldn't get the Razr. I have it and don't particularly love it.

Just went and looked at the Nokia - that's the one Brad has and he loves it!

I have it (in pink of course LOL) and honestly, I'm not a huge fan. I don't really know what bugs me about it but I wouldn't get it again - I was lured in by the pink!

My sister had a RAZR and after it's button's failing to work (on 3 seperate phones) they finally replaced it with a different model. I would go with the Nokia over the RAZR anyday.
But if you want more choices of free phones go to www.wirefly.com. That is where I got my SLVR for free by just renewing my contract with AT&T.

A friend of mine has that Nokia, and she loves it. She drops it ALL OF THE TIME, and she says it takes the repeated beatings and just won't die. (don't know anything about the razr other than all of those features seem pretty cool...lol!)

I have a RAZR and to be honest, it's a great phone for the graphics & style but it feels a little flimsy to me. It's thin & sleek, but I like to hold my phone on my shoulder too and it's hard to do with the RAZR unless you want to give yourself a kink in the neck! And you should see mine - there are scratches, dents and loose parts everywhere. LOL. And I've only had it for a few months!
The Nokia looks like a good phone to me :) And as far as I know, Nokias last forever.
