There are at least 4 curious Charlies who just can’t wait to find out what my new toy is. Well wait no longer – it’s a Motorola Razr!
Truth be told, I had no real desire to purchase a new mobile phone just yet; I was quite happy with my Nokia 6610. And given that our local contact list consists of about 6 people, and the 2 most frequently called of those people are going back to Sydney in December – well, the need for the latest, state-of-the-artiest phone isn’t really too pressing.
But sadly, my Nokia had started down the path to its death. Namely, it started turning itself off every few hours for no particular reason. Handy when you go to the flicks and forget to switch the phone off yourself, but otherwise rather annoying.
So given that electronics in the USA are so cheap, it turns out buying 2 Razr’s would still have been cheaper than buying 1 in Australia, so I lashed out. I’m most impressed, it’s an awesome little phone – lightweight, bluetooth, in built camera (photo and video), etc. The selling point for me was that not only does it sync to Outlook via an in-built USB port, but the phone actually charges over the USB link! Totally awesome.
Thanks to Brother J for the recommendation!

Looks great mate, there’s heaps of people getting that that phone over here. <br><br>I am actually looking at getting a NAVMAN for work.
I’m not sure if it’s the same over there, but here in London, The Carphone Warehouse is selling a limited edition Pink Razr (with pink accessories) that Kristy might have liked. I hope this link (<a href=’http://www.carphonewarehouse.com/commerce/servlet/gben-server-PageServer?ARTICLE=MAIN.UK.INTERNET.STATIC.WHATSEXCLUSIVE.MAY05EXCLUSIVES&NODE_ID=7883′ target="_blank">here</a>) works.
No worries. I think over the past few years Motorola has really invested a lot in the quality of their phones, as well as style, and as a result have overtaken Nokia.
Everyone that has that phone seems to love it!! Unfortunately I’ve got a <br>nokia car kit for work which just about rules me out for having any brand new, fancy phones for a while
<br><br>Only bad comment I have heard is that can be quite brittle if dropped, so hold on tight!
Pat – Yup, I saw that one when I bought mine! A limited market, me thinks…<br><br>Marc – Duely noted. Good tip!
Vaja has some very cool leather cases for the V3…I think the crystal baby blue would best suit…
$70?! Turn it up dude…
Just had a look-see at the pink version (yup, the link does work Pat!) and you know I’m not a pink person, but that’s pretty cool!
