Motorola V3
Quick ViewEvaluation in my collection: Great – 9.0/10
Life timer: N/A | Boxed: YES
Release Year: 2005 | Release Price: ~450 USD
About: The Motorola Razr (styled RAZR, pronounced /?re?z?/ like “razor”; codenamed Siliqua) was a series of mobile phones by Motorola, part of the 4LTR line. The V3 was the first phone released in the series and was introduced in July 2004 and released in the market in the third quarter of 2004.The V3 model was followed soon thereafter by the improved V3i, including a collaboration with Apple Inc. for iTunes to be built-in. It was launched in 2005.
Because of its unique appearance and thin profile, it was initially marketed as an exclusive fashion phone. However, within a year, its price was lowered and as a result, it sold over 50 million units by July 2006. Leading up to the release, Motorola’s cell phone division sales were stagnant and losing money. The success of the Razr made the division profitable again. Over the Razr’s four-year run, the V3 model sold more than 130 million units, becoming the best-selling clamshell phone in the world to date.
The Razr series was marketed until July 2007, when the succeeding Motorola Razr2 series was released. The succeeding models were the V8, the V9, and the V9m. However, Razr2 sales were not as good as the original V3 series, with consumers moving to competing products. Because Motorola relied so long upon the Razr and its derivatives and was slow to develop new products in the growing market for feature-rich touchscreen and 3G phones, the Razr appeal declined, leading Motorola to eventually drop behind Samsung and LG in market share for mobile phones. Motorola’s strategy of grabbing market share by selling tens of millions of low-cost Razrs cut into margins and resulted in heavy losses in the cellular division.
In October 2011, Motorola resurrected the Razr brand for a line of Android smartphones: the Droid Razr for Verizon Wireless (known simply as the “Motorola RAZR” on other networks) and an improved variant, the Droid Razr Maxx. The new “Razr” line shares the trademark thinness and stylized tapered corners with the original. The series was marketed until 2013.
On November 14, 2019, Motorola again revived the Razr brand, this time for an Android-based foldable smartphone styled after the original Razr, which carried the same name.

Nokia 3230
Quick ViewEvaluation in my collection: Great – 9.5/10
Life timer: N/A | Boxed: NO
Release Year: 2005 | Release Price: 350 EUR
About: The Nokia 3230[1] is a Symbian Series 60 smartphone announced on November 2, 2004. It was billed as the first Series 60 phone aimed at the mass-market rather than the higher-end Series 60 devices with a relatively low cost of 350 euros when released in Q1 2005.This phone was designed as a replacement for two previous youth-oriented Nokia phones – the Nokia 3660 Series 60 smartphone and the Nokia 3220 feature phone. No variant of this phone was released for the United States market.
It runs on Series 60 2nd Edition Feature Pack 1 (Version 2.1), based on Symbian OS 7.0s. It features several games (including multiplayer Bluetooth games), a 1.23-megapixel camera, Nokia Lifeblog, a 32 MB RS-MMC to store extra images and applications, Push to Talk, a 176?208 pixel 65,536-colour screen, multimedia messaging, and RealPlayer.
The Nokia 3230 is one of the first with Push to Talk over Cellular (PoC), a walkie-talkie style method of communicating, and also Visual Radio, which enhances a normal radio receiver with extra info about artists and songs delivered over GPRS.
For data transfer, the phone can use EDGE to upload up to 35.2 kbit/s and download up to 178.6 kbit/s, and is a GPRS multislot class 10, up to 80 kbit/s.
Known issues
It has been frequently reported that fine dust get into the space between the LCD screen and the transparent plastic cover. The dust can be manually removed by opening the plastic case.[4]In common with many phones of this type, the battery life is not as much as you would expect on older models of phones. Less than 2 days is typical whereas older ‘mono screen’ phones can often manage a week between recharging.
Users also reported that before the call ringtone sound, the 3230 would give a loud “beep” sound, with no way to turn it off or control its volume. The device would beep even on silent mode. This issue was most common in the early models of the phone.
Other users have reported slow response times for the camera, sudden screen blackouts and random reboots.
