Motorola V3x 3G mobile phone

If you want the RAZR but with more features, Motorola is hoping you'll opt for its 3G variant, but should you?

Review: I bought this phone second hand off ebay, primarily for it's Bluetooth 2.0 capability. It works fantasticly with my compatible stereo headset and it is the first bluetooth combination that I have owned where I can understand everything really clearly. When listening to music and a call comes in the phone suspends the music flawlessly and automatically answers the call. This feature can be adjusted or overidden. The specs state that a maximum of 512 mb cards can be used, but I have 1Gb & 2Gb cards functioning also. The phone has an easy to use gui, the music player works well, provided you break the music into playlists, otherwise you have to wait a while before starting to play whilst the software structures the song list. I can't comment on the camera, as I never use phone cameras. A user group report complained of poor battery life, but I only have to charge mine every 3 days or so, unless I use the music player. The software with the phone works well, but it is quicker to transfer data to the card direct, with a card reader.
Pros: Nice large screen, big buttons on easy to use keypad.
Cons: Can't transfer games from disk
Score: 8/10
