This was really the last big, popular phone before the IPhone came out in 2007.

Blackberry?
Blackberry curve
This is the phone I wanted as a teen but never got. Until now! I just had to buy it on eBay! I carry it around as my work phone. I really miss flip phones.
Yeah, touch screens are too mainstream. Flip phones are classy.
+toinentyyppi I got one when it first came out for $300+ ..it was a lot of money back then :)
I'm doing same thing . Everyone I know is wondering what is wrong with me - hahaha
I know the Razr was the OG of all flip phones, but if you want to retain functionality, I hear Samsung's new smart flip phone is awesome.
I'm thinking about doing this to unplug for a bit to be honest.
I love smartphones but I miss the exciting feeling of new phones coming out that were so different from each other. And having features that feel manual, like flipping the phone. It was just a cool feeling. But I guess we just can't go back. Those phone designs aren't practical on smartphones. I guess that goes to show to live everyday to the fullest, because there will come a time when TODAY will be a day you'll look back on and would wanna go back. Save your old phones. They make a good time capsule. You see the operating system you used to look at all the time in a certain part of your life, see pictures you took, texts you got and sent, notes you wrote etc. it takes you back to a younger version of yourself in a different time. We look at our phones so often, it's crazy that they can do that. 💕✌🏼
Couldn't agree more! We think alike, I still have my razor from 2006, I got the iPhone in 07 but I destroyed it in 2010 cause I wanted to see what was inside it.. I know I know but I was 16 at the time and stupid lol, I regret destroying it especially realizing how the first iPhone is now a collectors item.
sahi kaha i miss you moto
Valentino Vuitton
You could still have the phone, it would just be in pieces lol
We CAN still have flip phones today With the smart phone technology its just the people that make these phones don't wana do it over here in the U.S
in China they have
Samsung flip phones with android technology
WHY CAN'T WE HAVE IT OVER HERE, SINCE IT IS POSSIBLE
WHY NOT
Kayla Morgado Well said
Gotta admit it, when you flip to pickup or close the phone you feel like a badass
My mom and I both had the Razr starting in 2006. I had a black one and my mom had the Dolce & Gabbana gold one (1:29) because of course my mom had to have the best of all the moms. I was the first in my social circle to get the Razr, my friends all got Razrs after I did. Then I got my first iPhone in 2008 (the 3G) and my mom upgraded to the iPhone in 2012 and while we both love the iPhone, I still miss my Razr days.
I remember the days when I didn't have to look at the phone when I type a message under the table in class :
Yeah we were pro at these things xD
the "snap" to hang up was absolute sass material! and so satisfying!!
This phone was basically the iPhone of it's time.
Lmao I had the pink one xD now I love black
Jack The Ripper No it wasn't the iphone of the time cause it worked well.
@@Stella-ke7xb 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 I completely agree
@@Stella-ke7xb so true
I agree! Mine was pink and I just bought another one just for old times sake
Brings tears to my eyes. Good old days
I'm still using this phone as my daily driver lol
EveryThingTech -Nick Ackerman
So was I until I received my NIB V3xx yesterday. Ordered a spare V3xx today. Now I hnave 2, V3 phones and 2 V3xx phones. I like the V3/V3xx more than the V9x. I broke 2 V9x phones and still have 2 working V3s from before the V9x.
Don't need or want a smart phone. I talk and occasionally text.
Call quality on the V/'V3xx is outstanding
EveryThingTech -Nick Ackerman I bought my V3 when the old TDMA system was disbanded. (I still have my Nokia 3520.) My V3 has worked flawlessly, although the SIM did expire, the battery died when I forgot my charger (standard USB cable would NOT charge it), and I can't get any Motorola software to connect to it in Windows 7. I do not have a data plan, so I have no real options for receiving/sending photos/videos. Bought it strictly for its bluetooth capability. I can't bring myself to replace it!
whos your carrier?
I want this in 2019,i dont understand why I love it
now you can have the new one
I used to have one of these I love it and I actually miss those days
I was the coolest kid in middle school with this phone.
My sister had a pink one. So stylish
BRING IT BACK MOTO !!!!
Please Motorola, make an updated Android version of the RAZR flip. I would def buy one
+TheWolfHowling your wish has been granted.. they will release a new flip razr in Spetember 2016
+ZenithZephyroth I saw that teaser video that Motorola released a few days ago that put the rumor mill into overdrive with a new RAZR clamshell. While I really what this rumor to be true, I'm trying to keep my excitement in check and not get to hopeful in case it doesn't
TheWolfHowling i know right!! i am so excited too but i hope it is true :) but i wont put my hope too high or i will be disappointed
@GTRicer not happening
me too, i cannot wait,
Never had it, but loved it.
me too
Still use my V3 as a backup to my iPhone X.
It’s great to sometimes just roll with the V3 “dumb phone” rather than the smartphone. Battery lasts 2+ days with very little use, I use a Giff Gaff sim at £5 a month.
back then I've always wanted one but never had one
This is TRULY, a masterpiece of a phone..simple flip design why can't a manufacturer of a 800$ freaking phone can't think 'bot tat in 2016 ??
Because it isn't convenient.... Who would want a chunky flip phone when you can have a slim phone with a beautiful display?
+Matthewliu1 me, i want a flip phone... :D
I had one early on and it was the IT phone to have, especially as a 21 year old at the time. Its hard to tell you what it felt like to have one but its very similar to the feeling of having an iphone for the first time(2009). You felt like you had the absolute top tier of technology in your pocket and not many others had it(at one time). As opposed to now where everyone has an iphone and its not special to see one anymore. Mine had a hard royal blue case on it. I still miss how basic it was, but it turned heads. Miss my Razr
The Razr has made it back and ready to take back its title.
It’s 2019 and I want it
I want this phone. I'm in love with this phone
Same here! ♥
Liberty Martin you can still get it on eBay for great condition
me too,
Lol 😂
This phone brings back memories! Motorola do make the best budget android phones though so I'm glad they are still around.
I can't wait for the 2018 razr to come out! I'm wicked excited!
I remember when my dad first got one. I would laugh at the hello moto ringtone and gosh good memories. I miss those days without smartphones when I was little we would always play outside seems like now in days kids are inside with their smartphones or tablet :'(.
x.cele 😢
Totaly agree
That's very true. They are talking about in the news that there is a growing trend of people going back to these kind of phones.
omg i have the same feeling! life was better before
I still have and USE mi V3 as an backup phone. And im looking to buy a V9. Great, great phone. The biggest since StarTac.
I actually have a couple of variants of this phone.
Razr, I will salute you. Forever.
miss these days, this phone was so much cooler than an iphone
Well it came back....
Still have mine.. and love it! talk n text is all I need :)
For realz
@@tintinzaeem what carrier do you have if I may ask? I wanna activate one when I purchase :)
I owned one of this back in the days. Actually I still hv it with me :) One of the best phone I owned :)
This was my first cellphone back when I was a junior back in high schoo. I miss those days!!
anybody here after they released new smartphone razr?
This phone was the shit when I was in middle school lmao
Loved that phone and even the smaller ones before that model ;-)
The RAZR V3c was my first phone, now I'm using a RAZR 5G... always enjoyed Motorola phones
I still Have mine in the box. I just cant trash it
Still one of the prettiest pieces of tech ever made. Sad the Razr 2 didn't live up to the original. I'd go back if I could.
The phone had a very funny bug: Normally if you closed your phone you ended up the call. But if you turned the loud speakers on while having the phone call and then closing the phone, the call didn’t stop.
I remember listening to my Dad and my brother who were starting to make fun about me, not knowing I was still listening :D At the end I was to person who hang up ^^
My grandpa still uses his, he's upgrading to a iPhone 5 next year though.
It was one of the best looking flip phone ever made....I always like it...so the come is a well done.
I loved this phone. I was so excited when the Razr2 was released and was so incredibly disappointed.
Best looking phone I've ever owned and I have an LG G3 now.
bring the razer back plz ! improved hardware but with same design
loved this phone so awesome.
I had this before and love it ...new version please...
I was in grade 9 when I had my first phone in 2004 and it was Moto Razr V3... I was the coolest dude in class for having this metallic style Keypad phone.. being interested in software designs since grade 9 I was tweaking Motorolla software on the phone and added myself video capabilities on the phone !!! I became cooler in the class for doing that lol.. then, of course, Motorolla announced the V3i model that has video taking capabilities and I bought that as well in grades 10 and 11.. ahh those were sweet memories of the past.
This was my high school phone!!
Bro, everyone and their mother had that phone lol
Marsh C yeah, but I was the coolest one with it lol
Raul Polanco lmfao yea bro you definitely were. I had the RIZR at the time with my little 256 mb micro sd card haha
Raul Polanco It was my middle school and high school freshman year phone. Since sophomore year, I've had my iPhone.
Marsh C True that, I had a black one and my mom had the gold Dolce & Gabbana one at 1:29 because my mom needed to have only the best. She now has the gold iPhone 6.
Was A great device. I remember it fondly.
ahhh the memories
I'll buy the silver one tomorrow, just for flip off end conversation features xD
My first-ever cell phone about 10 years ago. Wow.
Still got this. And the smaller blue one
You were the MVP, if you had this back in the days lol.
Sometimes I miss my old D&G razr.
Totally wasn't worth the money but it sure was unique
I miss this phone :(
This was my second phone. Of all the qualities listed, I won't miss texting with it - even if by the end up its update cycle I was getting fairly quick at it.
Thanks for this walk down memory lane of this iconic masterpiece.
The Razr reminds me of my high school years.
I still use this phone.
Most stylish phone ever 👍Moto Razr V 3
The best memory abt v3 was its ability to use camera on the front screen. Of course selfies were not a thing back then.
Real OG of phones.
This phone got me girls in primary school
the only phone i ever brought twice!! and if they ever make a good smartphone version i would take a very good long look!!
wish they re-release motorola razr.
I think this was the zenith of mobile phone ergonomics before we all started carrying around computers.
Still have my phone used it in New Zealand 3 years ago lasted the whole week without charging
I wish that they could bring back a retro vesion of this phone. Flip phones are making a comeback, albeit a small share of the market in camparison with their smartphone counterparts, and I would love to have one of these again.
I had the RAZR VE20... I have fond memories of that phone. Plus, unlike most RAZR’s it was not all that common.
Best flip phone ever.
i still have a working one
Remeber when dropping this phone but nothing really happend to it and it just flipped open like, 'he buddy, I'm just fine'? good old times when phones didnt crack from 1 meter drops.
That's true I had this phone before....
There was a droid RAZR, they need to bring it back out with an updated design and great specs, the moto x line is good and all but its nothing like having a RAZR
I had this phone for years! Then I bought my first iPhone
Pascal Significa Me too. But I still have my Black RAZR for emergency use (like when I go overseas and I have to use a SIM card instead of Verizon's CDMA).
Pascal Significa Still have mine.
Kevin Burgess Me too, mainly for nostalgia purposes but also for when I go overseas and I need to switch SIM cards (which I can't do on my Verizon iPhone).
***** I can use mine now, but I keep it in reserve. The newer smartphones are wonderfully smart, powerful computing devices with hundreds of applications available. However, while travelling they do not have the power to reach further like these old devices. For simple communications no other cell phone was made as well as the Razr V3.
Kevin Burgess I hear ya! I do use my RAZR for emergency use like if my iPhone's battery dies, I have no Verizon reception (both of which are rare) or if I just wanna make a quick call and don't feel like texting anyone. I still love that phone.
I went through so many razors. I texted a lot back in 2007-2009.
I remember having one in middle school ha the memory's
At the time, Motorola was doing what Nintendo did during the late 80s to late 2000s. Beating the competition by proving style and simplicity was better than jamming "ahead of it's time" and expensive stuff down people's throats.
This was my first phone! I had a blue one.
I had one and really loved it! It was slim, sleek and looked high tech. Then the screen died.....and that was the end of my Razor. I often wonder if they could make a new Razor with the flip style, but with current tech features and function....That would be my perfect phone! I'm getting tired of the candy bar style iphones.
i too got one back then the advanced one v3i black nd still think that was the sexiest fon I ever used. I still have it but in non working condition.
I got one too, phone calls are way better than in an iPhone. Never get dropped calls etc
Wow good times
I remember I had this exact phone. My mom bought it for herself but then her work have her a blackberry and she gave me the razor. I was like the coolest 13 year old in middle school until somebody bought the first iPhone haha!
I still want one😩
My first expensive phone was this bad boy, i had a bulkier one before this one (nokia black and green screen flip phone ) '02 -'03 but in '04 this was it. It was awesome, screen was "huge" and with color, it had a camera and yes video recording up to 30 seconds!! LoL, but it had very i mean very low memory so i couldn't put music in it. Ring tones were $1.99. It supported up to 3 custom ring tones. I upgraded to the LG Shine in '06 which had expandable memory for music and flash photography on 2 megapixles. Sidekick in '09, my first Android phone (moto cliq) in '11, then the Galaxy S3, S4, and now in '15 the beautiful Galaxy S6.
I had a black one in 2006, the best phone back then
My phone (motorola rokr e1,motorola l7,motorla v3 pink) now iphone 8+. I miss you motorola :(
this was my first mobile phone.
Now I miss it.....
I loved this and the Ericsson t28
Why not mobile phone companies make smartphones that can flip. Thus, we don't have to worry about phone screens getting cracked anymore.
aizat27 Just get a case with magnetic flap, problem solved. Flip phones are not optimal for touch controls. I guess they can make 'em dual screen, but no one is going to build a custom OS nowadays, so they'll probably go with an Android, and end up with a lot of compatibility and usability issues, in both dual-touch-screen and keyboard-input-only versions. So unless there will be strong following behind it, only stock and a handful of 3rd party apps will be useful and usable on that phone. Google: _Sony Tablet P_, watch reviews, you'll see what's wrong with that concept (btw, I like it, but it's just not marketable).
Samsung still makes flip phones. Visit South Korea.
I still have mine
I still miss the Flip open phones. It looks Fancy.
I can tell my grandma to give you hers.
Welcome back little razr
Era sencillamente hermoso, como olvidarlo si marco mi vida
It's BACK!!
The V3c is better than most phones of these days.
my first phone and it was the limited edition itunes one.
I loved flipping it open lol. I had a pink one.
I still use mine.
