That keyboard when lit up.. still looks dope today...
this phone is still beautiful today
TVCH LORD indeed
Agreed
Aged great
omg yesss i so agree
I want one but they're only 2G
I loved this phone, opening, closing, opening, closing, opening, closing, opening, closing, opening, closing etc, so satisfying!!
i look for someone like this, please can you give me a name of any phone.
@@mohamedfehmilajili4451 "I look for someone like this" LMFAO Your life must be fuckin amazing!!
The Original "Fidget Spinner" !!!
@@VanBalion he obviously meant he's "looking for *something* like this" it was a typo. English probably isn't his first language. Quit being a d-bag.
@@CataLyst7 Swapping someone with something makes even less sense
Back when Motorola was Motorola.
Moto razer still looks great...
It's design is still better than today's phones...
Tbh I think Motorola should bring back the original Razr. Just update the internals. Still my favorite phone of all time.
I agree. Modern specs and cameras but same design
yessss!!! lets make a campaign
They did :)
they did exactly that.
I miss this phone. One of my best phones I ever owned
Yasser Youssef agree 💯 I forgot what I did with the phone but I wish I saved it for memorabilia storage.. I probably did the trade in thing tho cuz I can’t find it anywhere :-/
Still looks really good today. It'd be cool if they re-released it with modern dumb phone specs, kinda like Nokia has done recently.
NeedyForMusic check out Binatone Blade phone 2017
they should for real. i'll be so happy
They did it
Phone that time travelled
If I could go back in time, this phone reminds me of my best days and simpler times.
I purchased one for my wife and I along with the customized back plates with our last names on them. Those were the times. I also had the all black model with the blue glowing M front logo. That was my absolute favorite.
Why is Motorola not bringing this back ?! Or least bring it back to the market like the Nokia 3310 or the banana phone recently with updated specs and touch screen capable...
AHHH good old times, my sister had the dolce gabanna V3 the gold one, i was so jealous hahaha
They could rerelease it with upgraded specs, LTE, USB-C and Kai OS.
I wish for that myself, but I highly doubt Lenovo is going to do that, as they are so heavily invested in pushing their Android phones with their E, and G lines selling so well right now.
Maranello Santiago or make an Android based dual screen flip phone like the Samsung W2018
Commodorefan64 I have an E4 myself, i had two of them.
Maranello Santiago I currently have a G3, G4(my elder mother's daily driver), my daily driver a G5 plus and my girlfriend has a Moto E5 cruise on cricket wireless, the others are unlocked phones on cricket wireless.
+Maranello Santiago, hey! They did. it's shipped with Android. :D
Legendary
Miss those small flip phones. I had the samsung m9 last flip phone. It's was even more narrow than the razor. 2006.
Checkout, Samsung w2018
Check out Samsung w2019
Funny to see a flip phone that runs snapdragon 845
If I had to rock a flip phone today, I'd want the RAZR!
Darrion S me too
What about the Pebble U6 or the Sony Ericsson W300?
I LOVED my Razr phone back when! I had it in college, and that thing was so durable, and looked amazing as well! I bet that I dropped it 1,000 times and it kept working. it was Probably my favorite phone "pre smart phones" Era of all time. If they released one of those again, i'd want one for old times sake : ) !! Good times! I think i still have mine in a drawer somewhere.
If I could still use that phone today I would it was and still is stunning in it's design..
Adjusted to inflation, Razr V3 was priced equal to $860 of todays money. Not exactly a cheap phone even nowadays.
Never was able to get a RAZR back in early 2ks..... Always coveted coworkers cool phones. Thanks for the call back!
I had this phone from 2005-2012.... most beautiful phone ever I have used ... Sometimes I used to forget it was even in my pocket .. I still have it but it doesn't work ...
02:15 even in 2018 this still looks like something out of a sci-fi movie. Coolest looking phone ever made!
This phone would be so dope in 2018 if only KaiOS could be somehow installed in it 🔥🔥🔥
Kai OS suck
I loved my razr, when you're 8 that phone was made of magic
Dega Jago you're off by about 49 years
I had this phone and i loved it. It was small, really thin, and amazing voice clarity. It also had a battery life that lasts for days...
If you think that phone had a long battery life, then you should have seen the Motorola C139 that came before the Razar series, I had one as my first phone, and that little puck could go for almost a week on no charge with minimal usage.
I had this phone in middle school. Nice to know I was cool.
I still have two (2) of these and they work very very very well.... Gold and Black versions ohhhhhh is still turns heads
Can i get one
V3 looks awesome.
Still have this phone
I had a couple of these back in the day. Loved them! 100% would buy one now if they redid it looking exactly the same with modern bits inside and a high res screen.
Do the Moto Rokr next
The Razer was a must have phone when I was a kid. unfortunately I never had it.
almost my whole family had this phone! I had this in dark blue. It was really a nice one
you spent the entire video talking about the design. How bout elaborating more on the specs of the phone??
Coolest phone ever.period.
Candybar, flip, slider and qwerty. I'd go with a slider qwerty but they don't make those anymore. BB Priv was the last slider qwerty. And it asked way more money than it was worth.
I still want this phone
I always wanted this phone as a child. I want it still now.
Always look new 😙
Always love same😙
If you buy one of these off eBay can you put a modern Verizon SIM card in it and get it to work..?
I had this phone many years ago
That was a good phone
That keypad was a treat to look at.
Motorola RARZ2 V9 was the most beautiful and best :)
I think :)
Urgh you could have cleaned it before the video.
Pretty nasty
I miss this phone.
This was the first cell that I was proud to own, I thought it was beautiful in every way. I owned two and the only issue I had was their durability. My first one was ruined when I got caught in the rain. Besides that I loved it and it's the only retro cell I would carry.
Remember Nokia 7200 which was also exclusive flip phone although not as successful
Good video J.V. Can u revisit the Motorola StarTac from late '90's early 2000's? That was another flip phone in addition to the Razr that everyone carried. And what were the total sales of these 2 models throughout the years. Nokia, I remember had the market cornered then but the Razor and the StarTac were giving Nokia a run for it's money.
i can still use that phone. i cryed when i broke it
I love Motorola v3 flip mobile phones🤙🤩🤩
I wish Samsung would bring them new flip smartphones over here. I would definitely get one.
This phone gave me so much memories during the mid 2000s.
I used to luv that phone and ending up buying it twice 😄
I miss my V3 one of the best phones I ever had
Really good phone! I had one myself and sometimes I wish I still had one.
I love my smartphone but I miss my razr. Owning a razr back then was like owning a iPhone today.
kirbyswarp I guess if you look at it like that I meant it in terms of how everyone wanted one and it was popular. But ok
@@slimpikin82 yes. Popular usually mean that it appeals to the lowest common denominator.
I had one of these when it just come out and paid the full outright price with the special leather case and BT headset to go with it. Except for the interface lag it was brilliant and a huge step up from the Nokia 8110 I had before it ( matrix phone for those who dont know). I paid somwhere in the AU$800 mark (cant remember exactly) and was really bummed when they were closing out at AU$129.
Motorola should reboot the V3 with KaiOS and a Snapdragon 2xx CPU. If Nokia is killing it with their rebooted 3310s and 8110 banana phones, Motorola could come in and start the feature phone wars of 2019.
I loved flip phones so much!!!!!
I Loved my V3's!
10 years later, same video about oppo find x
One of the nicest phone... but I had problems with this fone... speakers burred... flip display has gone even though I handled the fone very gently... later I shifted to Sony Ericcson W810i, which was a mind blogger... W810i lasted for 7 years without any issues.
I used that same motorolal flip phone! I had it back in school in early 2000s. Still have it in my old phone collection lol.
Yes, I had one good price good quality, Until the hinge broke. But one of the reason I can skiped first and second generation of smartphone.
Imagine Motorola making an android version of this ph9ne with all the new tech stuff just like samsung does with their flip phones. I would use the hell out of that.
With Lenovo owning Moto I doubt that's going to happen with their E, G, and C(in the few markets it's in) series Moto phones selling so well. If they did bring it back though I'd honestly rather see Kai OS on it instead of Android as something different.
a flip phone is the best way to hang up on someone lol
$600. It was mostly a luxury item then. It looked good, but it was mainly used for calling and maybe some texting and gaming.
I'll gladly pay $800-$1,000 now for a phone but that's because we use our smartphones for EVERYTHING these days.
Back in the day I had one of these I've gotten used as a gift from my parents. It was a neat phone, but the features didn't justify its cost. Of course, it had all that you expect from your average phone at the time, quite mediocre camera, not that much storage and the battery was very average if I remember well. Plus, they were apparently known for breaking easily, mine eventually stopped turning on for what I think it was the battery, I searched that online a couple of years later and that sort of problems weren't unusual. Overall it was very overpriced for what it actually offered and we may as well take the pink nostalgia glasses off and have a second, deeper look at it to notice that.
I loved the Razr V3 back in the day, I had it as an AT&T Go Phone, and at the time the most I had ever payed for a phone at $130 USD with $100 worth of service for the entire year, I was very very sad a year, and 1/2 later when in a boating accident it got lost to depths of the Savanna River :-(
I like how this video keeps talking "putting utility over desgin" as bad and "putting thinness over utilit" as good.
How much did Apple sponsor you to peddle that garbage? They must have paid extra to get you to spew that "today, phones are bulky and need to be thinner like the Razr did". Like seriously???
Good old memories, I remember back in 2005 I went to buy a phone taking in mind of Moto RAZR, but bought instead a Samsung sgh-x700 but I regretted a lot after many times..
Watching this on my Razr 5G. I still have an original Razr that I fidget with on my desk.
I'm wanting the Moto g100 !!!!! Best mid range phone in my opinion show me a better one please!!! The only thing that's not good about the phone is it does not have dual speakers but I can do without with the newest chipset and all kinds of RAM all's I play is League of Legends and call of duty
I still keep my v3 coz it is my first phone that i bought with my own money
Ironically I'm watching this video on the same phone (kinda, I'm on an S9) shown in the intro and have a RAZR V3. Oh, the simpler days...
I remember begging my dad to get me one of these when I was like six or seven years old and it had just come out.
My buddy had this phone while I had the Nokia N95. He thought his phone was all that until I showed him what mine could do. He was quiet and didn't know phones could do such things. Lol.. Ah. Memories.
I didn't have the Razr, I had the moto Rizr, which was a close sibling of the Razr. Instead of flipping open, it slid open and had all of the same style and design of the Razr. My favorite non-smartphone I ever had
Im only 11 but i loved that phone... it's actully what got me started in technology in 2016 sadly in 2018 I stepped on it and broke it
Back when Motorola's design was something original, nowadays they just copy the IPhone and call it a day, and yes, it's about the P30
Moto razr is still the best looking phone on earth
Motorola should remake this with KaiOS. With the same ringtones, and flash.
How was it ahead of it's time?
It was just like every other flip phone but it had a cooler design, like what the hell are you going on about m8.
I wish there was a phone like this combined with the beauty of this phone, maybe make it flip too 😂
My Galaxy Note 4's battery has failed after 3 years. The Moto Razor is still working until that very day.
I remember when my teacher had one back then. Me and the other kids would flock all over him after class just to see his phone. Sometimes he would lend this phone to us for a few minutes so we could game lol
was a good phone back in the day but alot of them didnt take memory cards and you were lucky to get 1 song to fit on the tiny internal memory lol..sony erricson walkman phones were the number 1 for music at that time
To all the people asking Motorola to bring this phone back with Android. Guess what it's here!!! 😝
i missed mine....❤️❤️❤️
Why you don't have a playlist with all the videos from this category ?! WTF Phone Arena.
The Smartphones can have what you want, but the newer ones, from 2016 to today, sucks so badly
ahead of it's time my hairy ass. used this phone back then and safe to say the very bulky 6600 will wipe this phone on the floor easy
I loved this phone very much...... But I don't have money to buy it during those days..... But today I have lot of money......but the phone is no anymore.....
I have this badass baby during my late elementary at early high school years. Ahhhhh
Just yesterday I had found this historical phone in an old drawer. It was a very magical experience
That flip phone is a true witness of 00' kids drama back then when they're hung up their phone.
I know so many people who had that phone...almost all of them had cracks.
Oh my god, i want to cry. I was in 5th grade when i wanted one of those phones and I still do. Look at it. It looks so nice.
I used to have a RAZR v3m. It was a good phone for its time.
