Hello Moto

6 Feb 2005

I recently changed my
Sony Ericsson Z600 for a
Motorola Razr V3. The new
phone is amazingly thin and fantastic to look at, but there are a few features
that I really miss:

  1. Synchronization: The Z600 supports the

    Bluetooth Synchronization
    profile making it trivial to get all my
    contacts phone numbers from Outlook onto the phone. Unfortunately the V3
    doesn’t. The only way to get phone numbers from your PC to the phone seems
    to be with the accompanying software, and that just doesn’t work. The
    problem seems to be that the V3 has a clever system of each contact having a
    list of a variable number of phone numbers and email addresses, and I think
    the software doesn’t support this properly (though it probably works fine
    for older phones). If the protocol were available then I might consider
    writing a simple application to send contacts from Outlook to the phone, but
    for now I think I’m going to have to bite the bullet and type them all in by
    hand :(
  2. Sending text messages: If the Z600 fails to send a message it
    tells you. You then have to navigate through the menus to the Unsent Items
    to try to send it again, but at least you know. The V3, however, gives no
    feedback at all as to whether or not the message was sent. You have to
    navigate through the menus to the Sent Items folder to see if the message
    has a little cross or tick next to it. If it has a cross then it didn’t get
    sent.
  3. Software: I want my floAt’s Mobile Agent
    back!

The V3 certainly makes me appreciate that the Z600 has an excellent set of
Bluetooth profiles. It’s a shame Motorola haven’t put the effort into supporting
some more (especially synchronisation) in the V3. Very disappointing. It’s a big
step forward in looks but a step back in other respects.
