What is the Difference?

I am looking to buy a phone upgrade from Cingular. I have a question
about the Motorola Motorazr V3xx models they offer.

I see a model for $49.99 - looks grayish in color.
A gold colored model for $79.99
And a Platinum colored model for $99.99.
All are 3G

Aside from color and price, are there any differences in these three?

Not as far as I can see. It's kind of like apple. They charge 100.00 for a
black laptop over white. Total
rip-off. So many complained that apple put a few extra things in the black
one's so they could charge a few $100 more.

Speaking of apple. Read a tech review that the guy said until they let the
user swap battery's your crazy to buy one.
From a dead charge, It took almost 3 hours to fully recharge.

Not really. The Platinum one has a different hinge which may make it
sturdier down the road. Might just be cosmetic though.

My 10yo daughter has the 'grayish' one and loves it. It's a cool phone,
seems sturdy and definitely an upgrade over the older blah RAZRs. The
screen is great, 3G rocks and the included Opera browser is nice.
Battery life and reception are top notch as well.

If you're within the first 30 days, you might want to try a different
phone -- my own V3xx has significantly better reception than any of
several V551's I've compared it to, both on voice and on data.

Possible, but more likely that you have more power consuming features
turned on.

I personally use the H700 headset, which is simply superb.

Thanks Cingular for all that, not Motorola. Fortunately, much of it can
be fixed -- see the Motorola wiki below.

What "features" would those be?

The Nokia 6126 doesn't seem to suffer the same fate at the hands of
Cingular.
