I've had a Razr V3M with Verizon for like 6 months now. I like the phone but hate the OS that Verizon loaded on it. First of all, it's just ugly and slow and eats battery life more than other OS's from what I've read. You can't transfer pics or videos from or to the phone via your computer. You can only transfer music to the phone. I use Windows Media Player for this. I added the maximum 1GB of memory and use it as an MP3 player. It's pretty cool. In general, I like the phone. The headphones that came with the USB cabel are absolute crap though. They don't stay in my ears even when I'm not moving.

I don't like that Verizon upped my text message fee from 10 cents to 15 cents right after I signed up. I sent them an angry email but they told me that the agreement allows them to do that. I also don't find their website (specifically the bill-pay section) very user friendly at all.

As for coverage, it's not as good as Cingular was but it's not bad. I do find their customer service better than Cingular though...

At the end of my contract, I'll be looking at possibly going back to Cingular or trying somebody else but I won't be in a big hurry.

I've been meaing to look at hacking my phone to make it function more the way I like it and maybe remove all the Verizon imagry.
