Can anyone help with a query re. RAZR V3?

Bunnyhopper

I wonder if someone with a RAZR V3 might be able to help me. I'm thinking of getting one but I need a phone that has a one-touch call-recording function.

The RAZR V3 has a "Voice Button" on the side of the handset that activates a voice recorder. What I want to know is this: if I press that button during a phone call, will it record both sides of the call?

Also, if you happen to know, will that function still work if I'm using a bluetooth headset?

I'm a professional driver and often get directions over the phone so I like to be able to record them easily. Many phones ask you to go through several button-pushes and menus to get the voice recorder working.

Thanks.

Avoid the V3 like the plague. The reliability on those is...... shocking. Sent enough of them off for repair in my time!

seconding neilled. Its a travesty of a handset.

To answer your question and not attack the phone, yes, holding the button during a call will record it.

no it won't because the phone will break before you get a chance to do that

Yes, it works, but honestly, I wouldn't rely on the phone. You could get a good one but it's more unlikely than likely, I'm afraid. It's really just software issues with it, which is a shame.

Yes it does work and is a great feature on the V3 but i am the "proud" owner of one and honestly i cant wait to get rid of the fecking thing. I was going to throw it into the river and claim from my insurance but i figure they will just send me another one.
Im due an upgrade in Jan 07 and the second jan comes i off to the shop for a new phone - not before i throw this in the river, get a new one and sell it on to make up for everything the V3 has put me through.

Stick to good old reliable nokia or something like that.

Anyone recommend a good phone to pick up on an upgrade with meteor or o2 that has sound software.

Anyway long story short - Motorola V3 - BIG NO NO


BLACKDRAGONS V3 RATING - 1/10 (One coz you can make calls and send txt)

I agree with BlackDragon.....I hate Motorolas. Working in a phone shop, I have had many people complain to me about the V3. There's always a problem. Turning themselves off etc....

BlackDragon, have you thought about Sony Ericsson for your upgrade. They are bringing some nice ones out this side of Xmas. They are up there with Nokia as the most reliable I think! Good luck

Lots of people seem to have problems but I had a V3 for 1.5 yrs and have never had a problem with it. texting takes a bit of getting used to and the GUI is slow. Other then that I like it. I love the size of the unit. Ironically I just switched to a K750i (wanted a better camera) and have to return it!
