I have the opportunity to buy a razr v3 for $520 Canadian. This cell costs $639.99 + 14% tax in store with no contract. The seller who is selling 5 units states it is brand new and comes with box and all accessories. I asked the seller a couple of questions. It is compatible on my network and the seller responded it would cost an additional $75 to have the phone unlocked. So in total it would cost $595. Could this unit be refurbished? The price seems to be attractive however, I'm hesitant to buy because the phone is locked and I'm thinking it is used, or something could go wrong a couple of months later. Is this a good deal?

WHOA, the price is too high, check ebay for an idea of realistic pricing. There are some good dealers who guarantee the phone to be NEW & UNLOCKED. ALWAYS pay by credit card so you can dispute the charges if there's a problem. Anyone charging to unlock the phone is a thief...Stay away from them.
Go to a dealer and check out the Razor, I find it's too wide. It wasn't comfortable when holding, this was the opinion of several people.

Agreed, use a credit, one problem though is that some if not most E-Bay sellers only take Pay-Pal.

I love the way the Razr feels when i hold it, it feels solid and at the same time very lite, some say it's too wide, if you have small hands i could see how that could be a problem.

I chose not to buy one because of the cost.

PayPal is not a problem, you give PP your credit card # and they pay the seller. If there is a problem you dispute the charges with your credit card company and they dispute it with PP. It's the same thing except it goes through another credit card company and the seller pays PP any charges.

...erm yea. lol my brother forced me into getting one (verizon texting bill is WAAAY high, and my dad had lunch with one of the head guys who said 'thats how we make all our money...and the competitors are getting really creative with making fun of us for it!' )

It's actually pretty okay...turns off randomly once and awhile but that may be the result of dropping it one too many times =p ...
AND with t-mobile, you can get unlimited text messaging
