Had a V3 original, loved it. Bought v3xx as upgrade. Didn't work out for me. I live in the country, put a 'signal repeater' in my home. Old RazR v3 worked well in most areas. The new v3xx was so sensative to having or not having a specified signal it was constantly flipping [and it can make a noise for this] to 'no signal' 'emergency 911 use only' all the time. In short, it wouldn't work for me, it never functioned as a 'phone'.
However, when I drove on the 'corridor' I'd pass about 3 bars. When I reached Fort Worth it was all over the place with bars. So, it appears this particular phone from China will work well in a city full of bars but doesn't do so well further away. The old RazR v3 works just fine, sober in the sticks. I don't have a clue why this is and have given the phone away. Best of luck.
