Dan Wu of Engadget is one of the early adopters who have already purchased a Motorola RAZR V3 for use on Cingular Wireless. He thinks the RAZR V3 is as cool as it appears in the Cingular ads featuring it, although he didn't realize that it was wider than his Nokia 8290 until he bought it.

Here are the features of the RAZR V3, from the Dan's perspective:

• Solid feel and light weight (magnesium and aluminum case, 3.3 ounces),
• "Gorgeous" 176 x 220 TFT LCD screen with a 256k color range,
• "Okay quality" VGA digital camera,
• "Superb, very clear" call quality,
• "Passable" WAP and Internet usage, no report on using the phone as a Bluetooth modem with another device, and
• Good Bluetooth functionality, although the documentation is lacking and the phone may only be able to pair with one other device at a time.

Weaknesses of the phone were reported to be:

• Oddly placed mini-USB port on rear of handset,
• "No wow factor at all" from the Cingular-branded RAZR V3 packaging,
• "Obnoxious" Cingular branding on phone, with a bright orange Cingular logo displayed on top cover LCD during calls, and
• "Pathetic" 6-Megabytes of built-in memory with no expansion slot.

Read the review on Engadget for more details on his findings. I love his use of adjectives-- that makes him quotable like a Broadway reviewer or a sportscaster like Warner Wolf.
