Performance of Motorola Razr V3 (Cingular)
We tested the quad-band (GSM 850/900/1800/1900; GPRS) Motorola Razr V3 world phone in San Francisco using Cingular Wireless service. Call quality generally was admirable. Though we enjoyed the excellent clarity, the volume level was somewhat low, so anyone with a hearing impairment should test the phone first. Speakerphone quality was mostly good, though it sounded a bit tinny at times and also suffered volume-wise. We made calls using the Logitech Mobile Bluetooth headset. The reception came through with a bit at of static, but we had no problem pairing the two devices. Ring-tone volume also was somewhat low, and because the phone is so small, it's difficult to feel the vibrating ring when it's in your pocket. Finally, Motorola's menus can be a bit buggy.
Battery life was commendable. We fell short of the rated talk time of 7 hours by 30 minutes but were still pleased. Likewise, though we managed 10 days of standby time, compared with the promised 12 days, that's still a good time. According to the FCC, the Razr V3 has a digital SAR rating of 0.89 watts per kilogram.
