For the vast majority of people who don't care about advanced features it's a great phone. (Wouldn't mind a snappier interface, but nothing's perfect.)]]>Mar 22nd 2008 10:21AMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/03/21/forget-the-a-motorolas-motorzr-v3s-is-aws-capable/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/03/21/forget-the-a-motorolas-motorzr-v3s-is-aws-capable/Mar 22nd 2008 10:30AMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/03/21/forget-the-a-motorolas-motorzr-v3s-is-aws-capable/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/03/21/forget-the-a-motorolas-motorzr-v3s-is-aws-capable/
We get it. You were good. Once.
Now make some damn progress.]]>Mar 22nd 2008 12:08PMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/03/21/forget-the-a-motorolas-motorzr-v3s-is-aws-capable/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/03/21/forget-the-a-motorolas-motorzr-v3s-is-aws-capable/Mar 22nd 2008 7:46PMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/03/21/forget-the-a-motorolas-motorzr-v3s-is-aws-capable/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/03/21/forget-the-a-motorolas-motorzr-v3s-is-aws-capable/Mar 23rd 2008 7:59PMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/03/21/forget-the-a-motorolas-motorzr-v3s-is-aws-capable/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/03/21/forget-the-a-motorolas-motorzr-v3s-is-aws-capable/
It's seriously crazy at this point. That fact that the company is still milking a product from 4 years ago is beyond me. I mean the SAME phone is being produced for AWS, now? C'mon, that's craziness. ]]>Mar 23rd 2008 8:07PMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/03/21/forget-the-a-motorolas-motorzr-v3s-is-aws-capable/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/03/21/forget-the-a-motorolas-motorzr-v3s-is-aws-capable/]]>Mar 22nd 2008 2:33PMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/03/21/forget-the-a-motorolas-motorzr-v3s-is-aws-capable/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/03/21/forget-the-a-motorolas-motorzr-v3s-is-aws-capable/
I'm using my two year old phone, with slow-ass interface and occasional 'boiling milk' noises over my calls because nothing else has caught my attention (I like flips - I think some sliders are intriguing but I don't like the way they sit in my hand).

But to address your point the fact that there aren't any 'better' flip phones is that apart from Motorola themselves, no-one makes them any more. It's all slides and candy-bars nowadays.
As for why none of the Motorola's flip phone are any better, well that's been answered already - they're all just shoddy re-hashes of the Razr itself.]]>Mar 24th 2008 12:27PMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/03/21/forget-the-a-motorolas-motorzr-v3s-is-aws-capable/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/03/21/forget-the-a-motorolas-motorzr-v3s-is-aws-capable/Mar 23rd 2008 12:01AMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/03/21/forget-the-a-motorolas-motorzr-v3s-is-aws-capable/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/03/21/forget-the-a-motorolas-motorzr-v3s-is-aws-capable/Mar 23rd 2008 10:21AMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/03/21/forget-the-a-motorolas-motorzr-v3s-is-aws-capable/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/03/21/forget-the-a-motorolas-motorzr-v3s-is-aws-capable/Mar 24th 2008 9:33AMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/03/21/forget-the-a-motorolas-motorzr-v3s-is-aws-capable/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/03/21/forget-the-a-motorolas-motorzr-v3s-is-aws-capable/Mar 25th 2008 4:32PMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/03/21/forget-the-a-motorolas-motorzr-v3s-is-aws-capable/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/03/21/forget-the-a-motorolas-motorzr-v3s-is-aws-capable/
I'm hoping that the V3s is at least a better product than the a. The v3a was the trashiest, most watered down piece of crap phone I had ever used. (No microSD? WTF?) It was plastic, and was dropped no more than three times before the screen had cracked.

The V3m was made of stronger material and survived being ran over, dropped, etc.

While I will agree that the RAZR design is played out by now, I do like the design, and I could really care less, but releasing abominations like the V3a is unacceptable when the product is 4 years old.]]>Mar 31st 2008 10:52PMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/03/21/forget-the-a-motorolas-motorzr-v3s-is-aws-capable/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/03/21/forget-the-a-motorolas-motorzr-v3s-is-aws-capable/
Nokia has used the itty bitty variations of the exact same hideously boring candybar design for the better part of a decade, and sold billions of them. Let's harp on them, too.
