The very latest version of Motorola Phone Tools 4.0 has support for the
RAZR V3m.
I'm not clear on your post. What may be stolen?

| Razr or Sanyo 8400? Which in "your opinion" is the better phone? Given the
choice between these two phones, which one would you get?

there is always a debate on whether mp3s are stolen or legal, that is what
I was referring too.

I doubt that's a determination the RAZR is capable of making.

The RAZR. I used to be an avid Sanyo loyalist back in the day, but that
ended around 2004. Nowadays, you couldn't get me to recommend ANYTHING
Sanyo makes.
The only thing the 8400 has over the RAZR is ReadyLink, and frankly,
that's just laughable. Readylink is an utter joke, and I really wish
Sprint and Sanyo would let it die a quiet death. There is no use in
continuing to push handsets that use this sub-par and totally
incompatible PTT system.
No, the RAZR is better. It's made with more durable materials, the RF
performance is solid, and the overall design of the phone is simply more
refined.

| Isaiah,
Thanks for your assessment of the two phones. What about battery life?
Sprint does not sell an extended battery for the Razr. Also, it is possible
to force the Razr to digital roaming mode and have it stay there? In other
words, after making a call it will stay in digital roaming mode and not
revert back Sprint if there is a Sprint signal available? The 8400 provides
this feature.
Also, what about the speaker phone on the Razr? Is the speaker loud and
undistorted? I use Telenav on a daily basis and need to be able to hear the
audible directions.
Thanks,
-mij

I don't know about the 8400, but My experience has been that nearly all
EVDO phones have a lesser battery life than older-generation models.
The RAZR's battery life isn't great, but it will get you through the
day. I tend to be able to stretch battery life at times to two days
before I need a recharge, if I turn Bluetooth off.
> Sprint does not sell an extended battery for the Razr.
Sprint doesn't sell ANY compatible accessories for ANY of it's CDMA
Motorola handsets, with the exception of Bluetooth (but they can't help
that).
Fortunately, an extended battery DOES exist, but Sprint doesn't sell it.
Do a google search for Motorola part number SNN5788 (just entering the
part number into Google should give you results). You will also need to
buy a battery door to accommodate the bigger battery. That is part
number SHN9444. Both items will set you back about $45-$50 in total.
Sprint, sadly, couldn't market a phone any worse than they have the
Motorolas. I don't know what chip on their shoulder the CDMA side of
Sprint has with Motorola, but even now it seems they are trying hard to
make Motorola handset sales as unsuccessful as possible.
On top of this, lots of Sprint fanboys seem content to parrot what they
hear from Sprint reps about how bad the Motos are without ever having
actually tried one themselves, and can't even explain WHY they think the
phones are supposedly bad. Thankfully, Moto handsets are simply too
popular at present to allow that, and their build quality has improved
significantly, starting with the RAZR introduction on GSM networks.
> Also, it is possible

Yes it is. Under the Settings menu, in a section called "Roaming."
It's the same options nearly all phones have: Sprint-Only, Automatic,
Roam-Only.

I thought virtually all Sprint phones had this capability.

The speakerphone on mine has been great so far.

Just to add to this, I discovered another little accessory last night:
http://www.mobilewhack.com/reviews/...>
le_power.html
Basically, a portable battery charger. When you have access to a wall
or car charger, you can charge both this unit and your phone at the same
time. Then carry/store the portable charger, and you can use it as
needed to charge a RAZR or other handset that has uses Mini-USB for
charging. The P790 is also supposed to work with current-model
Blackberries as well.
A nice alternative for those who don't want to ruin the sleek lines of
the RAZR with an extended battery and appropriately-bulging battery door
to accommodate it. And this IS a Motorola OEM product, so you will not
get the "cannot charge" error from this.
