    True Story: When I was a kid my dad heard on the radio something about a free Razr at the mall. He actually went just to discover that it wasn’t a shaving razor and just a stinkin cell phone! 😂

    The Razr is real iffy with charging! It uses standard mini-USB, yes. But the charging lead has a resistor in the plug to tell the phone it's a charger. So without that you wont have much luck. You can find working knockoff chargers at the bay of E's.

      ​@adambevillI believe it was a shift of reliability. Mini made the plug skookum but the port suffered, so micro reversed that because it's easier to replace the cable

    My girlfriend in high school had one of these and she hated it with a passion and just wanted a "normal" phone. The only reason she had one was because her dad bought her the most expensive version he could find of anything she wanted/needed even if that wasn't the _kind_ she wanted in exchange for never leaving his office to be a parent. I bet you can guess how that relationship went; she taught me that beauty on the outside doesn't necessarily make its way inside.

    I had the V3 Razr in pink and I remember that it only had space for like 2 or 3 songs IF they didn't exceed 3MB. The fact that I could take photos with it closed was mind blowing to me. It had COLORS and 2 cameras? YES PLEASE. I loved this phone's design and to press random buttons on it because thery were SO sleek.

    Those Razr phones were absolute hotness in their day. When a phone was expected to... Make phone calls. Anything else was amazing. If I recall correctly, the camera was actually good for the time, n such a sleek bit of industrial design. The monolithic black slab we all carry around today, very lame. My mates were all nerds, we all had weird n wonderful telephony devices, definitely a competition as only teenage males can do. I never owned one myself, but mad respect at the Razr. Such a decent bit of kit.

    Oh. My God. I remember this beautiful flipping basto. I remember recording out a car window going 80 down a open highway and it flying out of my hand and bouncing across the pavement. Snapping shut as it landed, we turned around and came back to grab it. Picked it up and it was not only STILL RECORDING. it only had 3 scuffs on it.

  • @mafiacat88
    @mafiacat88 Před 5 měsíci +7

    I've always loved this phone-to this day by FAR my favourite cell phone, if all you need it for is calling people.
    So satisfying to snap it shut.
    But I've always had a soft spot for mid-2000's phones and bits of electronic jank, the same way I love ancient power tools; while things are usually easier to use once things hit the "optimum design" (Ie; screen rectangle for phones), things are so much more interesting when everyone is trying to figure out how things worked.
    Like-now one friend has a google and one has an Iphone-big deal, they've got nearly identical features and work the same way.
    But back when this came out people could roll up with ANYTHING-slide out keyboard? Sure. Folding? Yes. Weird form factors? Absolutely.

    That colour phone's batter probably still worked because it was some sort of nickel battery. Ive got a nickel metal hydride 4 cell pack for an rc plane i have never charged since i got it out of a plane my dad found renovating a house. It still has enough of a charge to activate all of the servos and the receiver when I flip it on.

    This was THE phone. This was the first cell phone I remember "everyone" wanted or had. People had phones before, of course. But the Razr was the first time that I remember people talking about a SPECIFIC phone. It was the first time I remember people pulling out their phone not just to brag about having a cell phone in school at all, but to show off WHICH cell phone they had. It was the evolution of phones being "wow, you have your own cell phone!" to "Wow, you have THAT cell phone!"

    German technology 👌😂 I had a Siemens C45 as a teen (I didn't want a Nokia, because every bastard in school had one, even in Germany) and I loved it so much and had it for four years, before I bought a Sony Ericsson from my first proper salary. I gifted the Siemens to a neighbour of my grandparents and it worked another three (!) years with the same battery. This phone refused to die. 😊 My replacement phone is a Nokia 8210 from 1999, my mom had it in a cardboard box in the (fortunately dry as a bone) basement, forgot about it and found it in 2021 during moving and gifted it to me with the charger cable and it came to life after 20 minutes recharging. The battery lost a lot of it's capacity and I bought a new one, but the phone still works a charm. And a lot of smartphones don't survive three years nowadays.

Looks like you've plugged the european plug into the earth for UK/USA/AU plugs, and the other prong into maybe the center earth for Italian plugs? Might explain killing one of the lights. Could be wrong (and it would be amazing if that battery still had a charge) but I just can't figure out how one hole could be both earth and live.

    Want a good laugh? (or a sad cry, depending how you see it) Get a V3 razr and take a video. Take the video outdoors in bright sun amongst brightly lit surroundings like a white house or car etc. You might get about 10 seconds of recording time per video. Take the same phone indoors in very low light and take a video. You might get a full minute (or more!) of video. All in glorious 3GP quality. I had one back in their heyday. Loved the thing. It was the first phone I ever had that could take a video. Boy did I take videos with it! I would document my walks in the woods with that phone. On average, i would get 20 to 30 seconds a clip. Each time I would stop walking and restart the recording and try to make each little clip blend as seamlessly as possible with the next. I would take all the clips in Windows Movie Maker and put them all together into one long video with a terrible jump every 20 to 30 seconds or so. But that's just how it was. Also when recording video, I held the phone HORIZONTALLY (like everyone should do when making a video !! !!! !!!!!)
    The one thing I hated about the Razr was the fact that the keys rubbed the screen when closed. As evident by the perfectly engraved outline of every key in the screen. On my second Razr, I kept a piece of "bum-wipe" cleaning cloth between the keypad and screen. After the V3, I went to the LG EnV. Another amazing phone. The EnV opened up like a tiny laptop and had stereo speakers. I loved that damn thing too. I also had two of them. After that, I went back to Motorola and have had one since. Currently with the Moto-G 5G Stylus. I was thinking about getting the new Razr, but found out that there is NO HEADPHONE JACK! They can stuff that "no headphone jack" shit right back up their as I was saying... The Razr was a fun phone.
    edit for dumb speeling errors. (taht one was intentional) ((so was that)

    Speaking of weird battery problems I have a Game boy advance SP and the battery works perfectly fine but yet I had to buy a new battery for my New Nintendo 3DS XL.

    Yeah, the Razr is a very pretty phone.

    Silver one looks best. The battery is removable so it can be easily fixed.

    Oh dear Dank... You can just solder in ANY lithium ion cell in place of the rotten one and it will just work.
