Amazon.com Product Description
The ultimate cost- and space-saving entertainment system, Coby's TF-DVD1550 combines a flat-panel TFT LCD television and side-loading DVD player. Now you can enjoy your favorite movies, concert videos, and broadcast TVs shows from your office, kitchen, bedroom, or living room, in vivid, 15-inch-diameter images. The standard, 4:3 aspect-ratio set offers 1,024 x 768 native pixel resolution, high 350 cd/m2 brightness, a commendable 400:1 contrast ratio, wide viewing angles, and stereo 3-watt speakers. It'll spin your homemade MP3 CDs, too--load one in and sit back for hours of uninterrupted music.
An onscreen display simplifies setup and use, while its multiple video inputs and single stereo analog audio input let you hook up everything from a PC (VGA/D-Sub 15-pin) to a camcorder, VCR, and satellite receiver.
The set also includes a full-function remote control for hassle-free operation. Taking the set on business? No problem--it works in the U.S. and overseas with its AC 100 to 220V power supply and PAL-format TV display. (Be aware, however, that the DVD player is configured for Region 1 or All-Region discs, so region-encoded media you purchase abroad may not play in the set's DVD drive.)

Amazon.com Product Description
You've probably seen the wildly popular Motorola RAZR V3 in someone's hand before. Now Verizon has their own version of the RAZR, the RAZR V3c. The sexy design is here, as is the all-metal construction. This time, though, the phone is more powerful than ever, boasting support for Verizon's exclusive V Cast mobile content service, which is powered by EV-DO high-speed data technology. The V3c also features a 1.3 megapixel camera, upping the ante in the picture-taking department.

<small><b>Learn more about the RAZR V3c from Verizon Wireless.</b></small></td></tr> </table> <B>Design</B>
At .6 inches thick, the RAZR V3c is just slightly thicker than the original RAZR. The RAZR V3c's design takes the standard clamshell form factor to the next level with an impressive, fully-anodized aluminum construction. A large 176 x 220 color display with 65,000 colors dominates the inside of the top cover. The outside cover of the handset sports a supplementary 96 x 80 full-color display that can display caller ID pictures, time, call information, battery and signal strength, and more. The 1.3 megapixel camera lens is housed above this display. Up/down buttons are placed on the left side for volume control. Most of the phone's features and on-screen menus are controlled by a five-way center button on the handset's backlit control pad, which is precision cut from a single sheet of nickel-plated copper alloy. A charging port and USB data cable port is placed on the bottom of the phone. The RAZR V3c also features 30 MB of embedded memory for storing pictures, videos and downloaded V Cast content. Note that the phone does not have a 2.5mm headset jack.
<B>Calling Features</B>
The RAZR V3c's internal phone book can hold up to 1000 contacts while the phone's picture ID system allows you to assign pictures to your most common callers. It also supports polyphonic ringtones as well as MP3 ringers, allowing you to use portions of your favorite songs to alert you to incoming calls. A number of ringtones come preloaded on the phone and more ringtones can be downloaded from Verizon Wireless' Get It Now service. For times when you want to be discreet, there's a vibrating alert. A built-in speakerphone makes it easy to talk without having the phone to your ear while voice activated dialing makes calling your friends, family and associates as easy as saying their names. Speaker-independent technology allows any speaker to dial numbers with the voice dialing system. And because the RAZR V3c is Bluetooth enabled, wireless headsets can be configured with the phone for total handsfree operation.
<B>Messaging, Internet, and Tools</B>
The RAZR V3c is a messaging and wireless Internet powerhouse. Support is built in for sending and receiving pictures, text, graphics, sound and video via messages. When used in combination with the phone's built-in still and video camera, MMS opens up a whole new world of messaging fun. There's also a built-in web browser for Verizon Mobile Web downloads and mobile web browsing. Verizon's optional Mobile Web package allows you to read and send e-mails and view your favorite web content on your phone. You can trade stocks online, compare prices while shopping, access flight information, get movie listings and find directions to the theater. iTap text entry, which is a technology that makes it easier for people to enter words and text on handsets, is built into the unit-- a plus for mobile email and text messaging users.
With support for the EV-DO high-speed data standard, the RAZR V3c is fully compatible with Verizon's V Cast service. With V Cast, you can download and stream high-quality video. Need news and weather? Get the latest Accuweather forecast delivered right to your handset, or stream CNN news headlines. ESPN sports updates, entertainment news from E!, and even Sesame Street content for the kids, are all available. V Cast also serves as a portal for enhanced 3D games, allowing you to have more fun with a new breed of realistic titles.
A number of handy software tools are bundled with the RAZR V3c including a voice memo recorder, a calculator with currency converter, a calendar and an alarm clock. The phone supports the SyncML PC synchronization standard, which can be used with Motorola's Mobile Phone Tools PC application to manage and synchronize contacts, calendar and other data with your PC.
<B>Imaging and Entertainment</B>
The RAZR V3c's 1.3 megapixel camera bridges the gap between phones and quality digital cameras. The camera is also designed to capture video, and there are night and self-timer functions. Embedded animated screensavers and full screen wallpapers are built-in so you can set up the RAZR V3c to suit your tastes. The RAZR V3c supports V Cast 3D games, as well as other 2D-based games, which are available from Verizon's Get It Now service.
<b>EV-DO Wireless Broadband Coverage</b>

<B>Vital Statistics</B>
The Motorola RAZR V3c weighs 3.49 ounces and measures 3.90 x 2.10 x .60 inches. Its lithium-ion battery is rated at up to 3.33 hours of digital talk time, and up to 215 hours of digital standby time. It runs on the CDMA 850/CDMA 1900 frequencies. The phone comes with a one year limited warranty.
<small>Note: The RAZR V3c supports the wireless headset and handsfree Bluetooth profiles. It does not support Bluetooth object transfer (OBEX) profiles.</small>
Customer Reviews:
Fantastic Phone!.......2007-04-24
I love this phone. It's the best one I've ever had. So slim, it fits in my tight pockets, plus iv'e put it through so much and it still works. I've had it one year and I am harsh on it. I drop it all the time, It's been in the river with me, covered in mud. It's sat outside in the snow for an entire night, and it still works! I couldn't be happier with it's durability.
DO NOT buy this phone........2007-03-22
DO NOT buy this phone. Take my advice. I have had this phone for a near half year, and have had major problems with it. I have already replaced it, and it still has the same problems. I later learned that the entire v3c model was defective, and that is primarily why Motorola created the later RAZR models. By law, of course, a company MUST recall an item after recieving 100,000 complaints or more about the product. Chances are, Motorola HAS recieved well over 100,000 complaints, yet has refused to tell the truth.
Defects... Too many to name. I'll start you off with a few off the top of my head.
Recieving calls. Nearly 75% of the time (not exaggerating whatsoever) phone calls simply do not go through. Either that, or the phone will ring, but you will not get the screen that allows you to answer the call, resulting in you not being able to pick up the phone.
Freezing. Amazingly, the phone will freeze nearly 25% of the time. Sometimes, restarting the phone via taking the battery out isn't even enough. Sometimes it just freezes for hours on end.
The keys. They are very prone to not working, and will give you A LOT of trouble.
Battery life. Supposedly, the RAZR is supposed to get about a week of battery life on standy. This is obviously wrong, as your lucky if you get 20 hours on standby, and an hour on a phone call.
Applications, such as AIM. They freeze up, and you wind up getting charged for the airtime used during the freeze. Not the way you want to go.
Echoing. Half of the time, the RAZR V3c will echoe your voice, resulting in you hearing yourself on a delay while talking, which can get rather annoying... Really annoying. Especially when you are on an important phone call.
Accessories. Goodluck getting them. Really.
Support. Basically, you can't do anything once you get this phone, and trust me. ALL RAZR v3c's are defective. There isn't a single one out there that isn't. It's a pain in the neck, really. Verizon doesn't accept that the phone is defective, resulting in them running numerous scans on the phone, and trying to see what's wrong. It could take weeks to get your phone replaced, FOR THE SAME PHONE. Unless you have a warrenty on your V3c, your done for. Verizon will only give you the same exact V3c, as a replacement. My parents and I have gone through too much with these phones, and we are through with Verizon.
Please, take my advice. DO not buy any of the phones Verizon promotes in their comercials. They all are horrible, defective, and are simply to get new customers to join up, with cheap phones.
Bad Choice.......2007-03-15
I bought the razr in Oct '06, and liked the slim look of the phone. I wanted to be able to carry it in my jeans pocket without looking deformed. I do not like this phone......at all. It has a very poor battery life. The front display is so dark as to be useless. The inside display is poor also. There is no way to remove the top and bottom banner, the camera sucks. It is pricey. I wish I had really looked at the phone carefully. I was infatuated with the design, and chose form over function. I could go on and one, but the more I write about this phone, the more aggravated I get. I need to stop before I ruin my day. I would advice people not to waste their money.
Worst Mistake I Ever Made........2007-02-16
I want to start off by saying that buying this phone was the worst mistake I ever made. I do not intend on making it again as trying to get it exchanged has been the biggest hassle. Verizon Customer Service is the worst I have ever dealt with. I love their network, hate their employees.
First the phone. This is 2007 and making phone calls is not the only thing people do with their phones. They text message, they check e-mail, they download from the internet. The Razr even though marketed to be able to perform these tasks in at least some capacity, cannot do any. I have had the Razr for just under a year and have been trying to get the Mobile 2.0 internet activated either myself or over the phone and nothing.
I brought it to tech support and they look at me like they have never even seen a mobile phone before in their lives. Still, nothing. So I suck it up for 10 months, I sit on this phone gritting my teeth every single day I am forced to clip it to my belt and say "soon it will be over." Is this how a customer should feel? I pay 77 dollars a month for a phone that I barely make calls from and can text message... yet barely because the keypad is so jumbled together that I end up clearing most of the characters because they come on the screen wrong.
Then to top it off, I can't personalize the phone. Excuse me? I bought and paid for the phone yet I can't put my own wallpaper on it? I call Verizon and they tell me and I quote "We're sorry, we understand your frustration but the phone just doesn't support it." Granted, this does not hinder the function of the phone but it is annoying because it is MY PHONE!!!! it's not rented, it will not be returned, I OWN IT!!!!
Now customer service, I call, I write letters trying to plead my case asking begging even pleading for some relief and all I get are doors slammed in my face. One call center supervisor actually said to me "if you don't like it, you can take your business elsewhere." That is all I will say on that because my response would take up about 2000 characters.
Finally after 18 phone calls and 4 letters, one manager actually was nice enough to notice that I barely use the phone and still pay my bill every month. She made an exception on my account that will allow me to upgrade to the Q. Of course they will not give me the 100 dollar credit but will allow me two year pricing which brings the Q down to 299 with a 50 dollars mail in rebate. $249 dollars is worth getting rid of this piece of ****. I just hope the Q performs as expected. 249 dollars for the device and 79 dollar plan with unlimited data access.
Summary: This phone sucks, Verizon Customer "Service" sucks and the only thing keeping me here is the fact that early term fees are 175 and it would cost me roughly 200 for a BB or Treo at another company.
I don't know about the KRazr but heard it was a little better. Just do not get this phone because it is a cheaper version. Spend the money for the K if you MUST have a RAZR.
Overrated. Verizon crippled a perfectly good phone.......2006-12-08
Verizon took a perfectly good phone (the RAZR v3) and disabled certain features, bringing us the neutered "RAZR V3c".
This phone is "All beauty, no brains". It is appropriate for people who want to look like they need a cool phone, but who don't actually need to USE the phone's advanced features.
We use this phone at work for our "24-hour On-Call Work Phone". I share this phone with 6 other people. I will summarize our disappointment with this phone below.
Pros:
- Slim phone, although you may need to purchase the larger battery due to poor battery life.
- Uses CDMA instead of GSM network. But do you care?
- Good voice recognition-- doesn't need training
- Uses a normal USB cord. No need to buy a $30 proprietary cord! I assembled a USB charger for less then $5, and can "Trickle Charge" the phone by plugging it into any USB port.
Cons:
- Advanced features over bluetooth (OBEX) are disabled:
* You cannot upload/download data to the phone without $40 software package. Even with the software, you still can't upload ringtones, wallpaper, etc. without cracking the phone.
- Advanced features over USB are disabled:
* Charging over USB is crippled. The phone allows a "Trickle Charge" at 100mA, you cannot normally charge (at 500mA) the phone, even with the $software package. However, you *can* use any AC-to-USB power converter to charge the phone.
* Occasionally, the phone will print an error about "Unauthorized charger", but I can usually get it to work after unplugging and replugging the USB cord a couple of times. "Unauthorized Charger" means that I didn't use Motorola's special $30 USB charger-- it is a completely artificial barrier, because any USB charger should work with any USB powered device-- Power over USB is a defined in the USB specifications.
- The phone can be set to ring mode or vibtate mode, not both. Every other phone on the market can do ring + vibrate.
- Slow user interface. For example, it takes 2-3 seconds for the "Contracts" screen to display after I hit the "Contacts" button. There are only 20 contacts in my Contacts list. On my other phone, it takes half-a-second.
- There are three functional buttons on the side of the phone which are too easy to accidentally activate. When holding the phone to your ear, the buttons are directly under your index and middle fingers. It is too easy to hit these buttons while you are on call.
- If the phone is sitting in your pocket, the "Silent Mode" button can easily get activated in two steps when you shift around. I have misseed several important calls because of this. As I said above, I share this phone with 6 other people as our on-call pager. We have *all* accidently activated the Silent Mode.
- The little color screen on the outside often remains on for hours due to a bug, which quickly drains the battery. This can be cleared with a hard reboot.
- The battery life indicator is inaccurate. It may show "100% capacity" one moment, and 30 minutes shows that the battery only has 25% power left.
- The UI is pretty bad. To delete a text message from my inbox requires 5 steps and 4 different buttons. On my other phone, it takes 3 steps and 2 buttons.
