OK folks, I'm getting ready to dump cingular and go back to Verizon. I'm looking at the Razr V3C as my next phones. Anyone have one and have comments? If you are with Verizon as well that would help me eve more...

Thanks!

I was thinking of doing the same thing (switching from cingular to verizon). I've had my phone for a while now, Motorola V220.

I've heard some pretty good things about those phones but don't have anymore specifics.

Verizon is the best hands down. I hardly EVER get dropped and static vertually non exsistant. Consumer Reports says tops in all markets tested also. I get cells in my basement, Vegas hotels rooms, out in the AZ desert, anywhere in Florida and California when I travel. Go for it. I use one of there basic phones by Samsungs.

The samsungs have always been good. Although my last two motorolas have been great.

go to ebay and buy an unl,ocked phone. I say this, because they have the NEW Motorola SLVR.

I'm a geek who always wants the latest greatest phone though.

JW, my two sons both have the Razr and love them! I must say that it's the best sounding cell phone I've heard when talking to them. You have a lot of cool features too with the USB computer hook-up. You've got a killer combo with the Razr and Verizon. Go for it!!!

I do not have a razr, but I do use verizon, and I haven't had any problems with the reception down in our area, but I have had a couple issues with their billing department.

I like the razr. fragile but i like it, I am on my second one in 8 months, which really is not that bad i guess... It is so light that you can forget where you put it which can lead to damage

I have the RazrV3c with Cingular and it sucks. I love Motorola's but I would get get the e815 instead.

The talk time on the V3c is rated at 180 min but it's more like 120min, at least that's all I ever could get out of my new V3c. And then their stinking apps drain the battery power evenmore whcih means your charging your battery practically every night. The screen when lit/activated makes this weird humming noise in the earpiece. Luckily it goes away when the screen goes dark. You pay a price for the slimness I guess.

The last annoying thing that Verizon did was move to a standard user interface on all their phones which did away with some of the neater Motorola features. Check out the e815, you may very well like it.

Not a fan of the SLVR, gotta be a flip for me. Plus, I'm just not that big of a gadget geek. :thumbsup:

I have verizon but some samsung phone.
Verizon has the best network, but I have been kinda dissapointed with their phone selection. Since they don't use SIM cards like everyone else you can't just buy any unlocked phone and slip your card in. You have to find a Verizon network capable phone and have Verizon activate it (which if its not a standard phone they are quite often clueless about)
