i want to masturbate all over it. that is one sexy piece of hardware. who cares that it's just a cell phone...at least you look sweet making calls.

how much is it? if it's above 500 thats ridiculous ($800 on ebay... :eek: ).

WOW that thing is REALLY sexy. Makes anything Sony makes that resembles a cellphone look weak in comparison. Who knew Motorola could create such a beautiful piece of technological industry design! :cool:

it's actually out. I bought one in Las Vagas.
However, if you live in Canada, and use telus or bell..too bad...stuck with those ugly CDMA phones...hopefully motorola is coming out with a phone for people like us. Like fido and rogers ... :mad:

the reason i bought it was for my dad, he's on rogers. just so ur wondering why i would buy it and then say it's not for CDMA networks.

oh btw, the camera is good, but not good enough. its the same one as the V600, same OS system and look and the screen is very bad. i mean, the V600 screen showed a lot more colors in photos than the V3.

Its pretty nice, the keypad lights only come on in the dark..very cool i think!

I found it a bit clunky initially, but after a few days you get used to it and forget its minor problems. I think it's a little behind Sony Ericsson, but not by a vast amount.

In fact the thing that annoys me most about the phone is the keypad makes quite a loud bzzzzzz sound when the backlight is on!

I've attached some photos taken with the V3 so you can see what the camera is like.
