I finally decided to purchase the Razr based on the facts that my current service is not very good in my are, my GF has Cingular(free wireless to wireless), the Razr had tons of cool features, my old phone's battery is dead, and it's the only phone that came close to the thinness of my Sanyo SCP 6200.  Well, I have had this phone for  about 4 days, and I am planning on returning it as soon as the replacement battery for my scp 6200 arrives.  I expected a brand new phone to have better audio clarity than my 4 year old phone.  The sound is so weak, even with the vloume all the way up, that I can not hear anything if there is the slightest amount of background noise, like when driving.......Extremely disappointing.  I'm also concerned with durability, I have a tendency to drop my phones and the V3 does not seem very sturdy.  My Sanyo has survived dozens of drops on blacktop without ill effect.  Luckily, I found a place to buy a battery for it for only $10.00!  In short, unless you have superb hearing(suprman) I would avoid this phone.  All of the whiz-bang gadgets are useless if the item won't even preform it's main duty of being a phone.  I have also learned that my previous provider is expanding coverage in my are, so I'm glad I didn't cancel my service with them.
