Black Motorola V3 RAZR casing

Does anyone know if the Motorola V3 RAZR casing in BLACK
is made of the same material as the silver one? I know the
silver one is made of anodized aluminum, but the black
casing doesn't look as tough.

yes it's the same material, the finish is actually a nice mate black not glossy.

Does anyone know what happens if the black finish gets scratched? Does it break though the paint revealing silver, or is the metal anodized so when starched it does not show as bad?

I hope i never have to find that out, but since its anodized it should withstand scrathces a bit better.

I can answer that, I dropped it once and had a little chip (Barely noticeable unless you squint) The inside is black.

Ouch, how could you....lol
thanks for letting us know.....

Yeah, I was mad myself. I was about to buy a whole housing kit for it, but it seemed to be a waste of a 100 hundred bucks for something barely noticeable.

I myself think it is a bit metallic, either way, the finish is awesome.

Have you noticed that finger marks are more noticable on the black version? no biggie, i'm just a bit picky....

Yes, especially when your fingers are a bit sweaty, leaves a smudge. It takes a bit of elbow grease to clean it up!

do they make a black key insert for the black razr, you know like the keys on the slvr?

I believe the keys are both the same.

The balck Razrs that were given out at the academy awards had the black keypad, there are some floating around e-bay that are for sale, very trare though, and the extra cost for it it's not worth it in my opinion.
