RAZR V3 & SMS ???
Has anyone a RAZR V3 and tried it with SMS? I am moving back to the US soon (from Germany) and I need a new phone. I had an Siemens S55 (awesome phone), but can't find a new one anywhere (bought it two years ago).
Anywho, I have heard how great the RAZR V3 is, but I haven't heard anyone say anything about if it has worked with SMS?
Another question: Does it have internet connectivity (browsing) capability?
Thanks!!

I bought a Razr last June to replace a Samsung S105. It's the slimmest, lightest phone since my old Ericsson T28 (which had a 2-line screen and tiny keys).
The Razr has a relatively large screen, web browsing capability (with a data plan), bluetooth headset, luminescent keypad, and tri-band. I don't do text messaging on the phone and only receive short text messages (e.g. from United Airlines). I prefer doing web browsing/e-mails on my Treo 600.
The only thing I dislike is the screen that is washed out in direct sunlight. I have to block the sun to read the screen.

Yes, the RAZR has web browsing. Note that it uses GPRS data (relatively low-speed, like 19200 baud) and not the high-speed EDGE (which is only starting to be deployed in the US). I haven't had problems with Internet speed on mine.

Thanks!! | I think most of your questions have been answered by the individuals above me. I just wanted to point out that there is a Black version of the Razr V3 that was released exclusively for the Oscars guests to carry around, and apprently there is a limited supply of these black special edition V3 Rzr's. My friend has one and I will post pics soon on this tread whenever I get a chance in the next few days...but trust me the black version is so much more slick and cooler then the regular version of the V3 Rzr. If you are interested in the black version I might be able to get you one or for that matter anyother phone you are interested in...as I have a few contacts who are in the business.
I currently use the Nokia 7610 the silver/white edition which I have had for for more then a year.....I bought it and was the one of the very FIRST ones in Toronto to have acquired it so early in May of 2004. I love this phone and might be switching over to the Nokia 8800 w/chrome casing  very slick and sharp.
Again my friend bought that phone 2 months ago, one of the FIRST ones to have it.....when it comes to phone me and my friends are the FIRST ones to have it..... 
anyhow....so if you are interested let me know. . .

Thanks!! | Very cool phone. You can now get the Black Razr from a variety of places in the US. It is, IMO, a much nicer phone to the touch and eye than the all silver one. It is really an awesome phone with a gorgeous screen. And it is quad band - 850, 900, 1800 and 1900.
Both Cingular and T-Mobile are selling them with two year contracts. You can check out their websites for current offers as they change frequently. These phones are locked to the provider. If you are going to be using Cingular in the US you will want the Cingular software on the phone becaue it enables hand-offs between the Cingular and AT&T cell towers. The unbranded or T-Mobile phones do not have that capability without mods.
It works fine with SMS, though some of the SMS experience is controlled by the service provider. Having just migrated from the AT&T TDMA service to Cingular GSM, I notice some differences in how SMS works with email - no diff in phone-to-phone SMS.
Terry mentioned that the Razr uses GPRS (slower) internet connectivity rather than EDGE (faster). I compared the Razr and the Nokia 6230 (not the 6230i). The Nokia has EDGE and it was quite a bit faster in acccessing the internet and displaying resiults than the Razr. The Nokia has a 128x128 screen compared to 176x220 for the Razr - the bigger screen might account for some of the slower response.
I decided to go with the Nokia 6230 because I found I liked the Nokia menu better and the fact that BMW has come out with a Bluetooth cradle for the 6230i/6230.
They are also selling on eBay quite briskly. BTW I am selling my barely used black Razr V3 on eBay (PM me for a link if you are interested).

I mean seriously they are providing you with a near to free phone that seems more attractive then what you are getting yourself into....IMO always buy through respectable members @ HoFo, ebay or dealers, in essence private deals are the best way 2 go for cellphones...you get them fast no hassle no contract new phones and some are willing to negotiate!
