The good: The Motorola Razr V3i Dolce & Gabbana is an eye-catching slim cell phone with Bluetooth, a speakerphone, a memory card slot, and world-phone support.
The bad: The Motorola Razr V3i Dolce & Gabbana lacks iTunes support, and call quality and music player performance could be improved. Also, we were hoping for EDGE compatibility.
The bottom line: With mixed performance and a standard feature set, the Motorola Razr V3i Dolce & Gabbana ultimately is a design-first phone.
If you think the trendy Motorola Razr doesn't try hard enough to be stylish, Motorola is on a serious quest to prove you're wrong. The company that started the thin phone revolution and gave the world the first gadget in bright pink has partnered with Dolce & Gabbana to produce a special blinged-out version of the Motorola Razr V3i for T-Mobile.

The company that started the thin phone revolution and gave the world the first gadget in bright pink has partnered with Dolce & Gabbana to produce a special blinged-out version of the Motorola Razr V3i for T-Mobile.
A perfect cell phone for anyone with the Midas touch, the Razr V3i D&G is clad in a bright gold skin and features D&G-themed wallpapers and ring tones. The feature set and basic form factor unchanged form the original gray V3i; this is a phone for fashionistas rather than gadget-fiends. As with the all D&G couture, you'll pay a lot for the privilege--$400 to be exact--but T-Mobile offers it for $299 with service.The V3i D&G strikes a pose from the moment you get out the box. The shiny gold skin is truly unique and is sure to catch glances on the street. The color scheme extends to the inside of the phone as the navigation array, the keypad buttons and the border surrounding the internal display are covered in the same bright hue. You also get a gold D&G dangle that attaches to your handset, and the box is covered in gold as well. It may be a bit much for those with a more understated style, but slaves to fashion should be impressed.

Cons: READ SUMMARY
Summary: Loved features, and easy use, but the battery went bad, and then the screen had issues where outside would work and inside wouldn't and it displayed blank black screen and keys lit up. Methinks that a cable to the screen went bad. But it was good for ... Expand full review
"Best Razr I've had yet~~!!!" By mstipps
Pros: Unlike some Razr's...I have never had ANY problems out of this phone. I have had it for 2-3 yrs now....(Bought new..yes $400.00) and it still works every time...all of the time, and looks brand new~! I receive LOTS of comments on this phone~!
Cons: The Original PRICE~!
Summary: Every feature has worked perfectly, every time.....Camera is wonderful (although I don't think much of Motorola's Phone Tools) with great pics....bluetooth connection has always been exceptional....Crystal Sound quality...Never any glitches or problems.
