He said..well I know what you mean, I said yes, I have dropped it, but not within a month or so, LOL Got a new one in the mail a few days later. Honestly don't think I would buy another razr if I were purchasing one...they are ok..but nuttin to write home about, LOL

I don't think the razr's are that great either, I've heard bad reviews on them. I just didn't want to burst anyones bubble because so many people think their the best. They don't even have MP3! MP3 was my major thing I wanted, so razr was out for me. I know when they first came out there was a lot of bugs, not sure if they got them all fixed or not though.

I have a SLVR and it sucks!!! The reception on it is worthless, and when someone calls, it rings but the screen will be black for 2 seconds before you can answer it. It's my second one (had to have the first replaced for dropping calls) and they've both done it. My boyfriend has the SLVR also and he has the same problems.

Rae Rae · 10-20-2006, 01:52 PM

is SLVR motorola also? I think it might just be motorola phones in general. I had their phones when I had nextel and I had to go to the repair shop more then I should have had to go. W/ nextel-motorola phones you definitly do not get what you pay for. They are so expensive, and my free phones I had with other companies didn't break as much!

I have a cingular RAZR i am willing to part with, as i switched to verizon, could not get coverage where i moved to

ladyt · 10-20-2006, 03:58 PM

I have a silver Razr and have not had any problems. My biggest problem is throwing it in my purse and having to dig for it.

Dragonfly · 10-20-2006, 04:20 PM

I'm with Verizon, I have LG and I wished I had got the razz but oh well my LG I had before this one is still working.

yorkieangel · 10-20-2006, 04:29 PM

I have a razor and love it for most things. i do agreee with Chachi in the fact they are harder to HEAR out of. LOL... I thought I was the only one who thought this but I guess now 2 of us are hard of hearing...HHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Saleswman · 10-20-2006, 04:40 PM

I have had Cingular for about 1 year. I am on my 4th phone, although the last 3 have been pink razors......apart from the fact that when you have a defective phone, you have to get a REFURBISHED phone. So, guess what.....you get phones that have/had something wrong......and they may not be fixed....as I have found out.....

I have three phones,me, hubby and son.... and have spent at least 2hrs a month trying to get MY service from dropping.....I use the phone a whole lot...this is since last November. The service people are clueless, make promises to fix things and don't then when they call you back, if they call you.....they cannot remember what the original issue was.....and then you have to spend more time in trying to explain it OVER AGAIN....

GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR.

I would not recommend them...other carriers offer the razr phone too.

xtine · 10-20-2006, 07:12 PM

my husband had cingular for like 2 years and hated it.. never wanted to use his phone.. always had dropped calles, never had any receptions.. always had to use my phone..

so he thought maybe it was the phone, he got the black razor.. and that was a piece of doo doo LOL.. the battery life on his was poop and the reception was still poop.. so he got the SLVR and it was nice and all, but the reception everywhere we went was awful!!

so we got a family plan together and he made the switch to Verizon and he said he's mad that he didn't switch sooner!

its pricey, but well worth it in my opinion.. all my friends and family have verizon, so its like i never use any minutes!

bren · 10-20-2006, 08:10 PM

I don't have cingular but RAZRs are crap. Mine wasn't even a year old and it had software issues and died on me. When I went to verizon to have it replaced, the woman in front of me was on her 3rd RAZR in 4 months--she had similar issues and battery issues. The customer service person at verizon said that her RAZR phone also died that same day. She said that there are alot of software issues with RAZR phones. She also said that the most recently made motorola phones are not made like they were in the past. They're expensive phones but the quality is just no longer there.

RAZR's came down in pricing. I don't remember what they were originally, I think 299, but I could be wrong. Now they're only like $50. I really think all motorola phones are coming crap.

LOL I too dropped my razor in the toilet, glad I'm not the only one, didn't work well after the little dip, got another one and it works fine.

StewiesMom · 10-21-2006, 09:32 AM

I hate my RAZR!!!!!!!! I have the pink one.

Grayson's mom · 10-21-2006, 10:00 AM

I have the LG1400i and I don't the fact that I think it doesn't ring loud enough I miss alot of calls due to that fact that on level 5 I can't hear it and my battery life should be longer other than that It's ok

My husband has the Razor phone and has no complaints

shecass · 10-21-2006, 11:32 AM

I have a Motorolla phone it's not a razor. Not had any problems with it. I do have Cingular and no major problems with them. Maybe it depends on where in the US you are as to the kind of cell service you get with it.

We are in the Atlanta metro area and very seldom get dropped calls. There are a couple of places it will drop but not many.

My husband has an LG flip phone which is my old one but is getting an upgrade soon. He is getting another LG phone.

A good friend of mine and her husband have the razors and don't like them at all. She said that they have a hard time hearing out of them.
