True Story: When I was a kid my dad heard on the radio something about a free Razr at the mall. He actually went just to discover that it wasn’t a shaving razor and just a stinkin cell phone! 😂
The Razr is real iffy with charging! It uses standard mini-USB, yes. But the charging lead has a resistor in the plug to tell the phone it's a charger. So without that you wont have much luck. You can find working knockoff chargers at the bay of E's.
@adambevillI believe it was a shift of reliability. Mini made the plug skookum but the port suffered, so micro reversed that because it's easier to replace the cable
this threw me for a loop when i tried fixing up my razr from way back when a few months ago. glad i found the original charger in my junk drawer after a while
My girlfriend in high school had one of these and she hated it with a passion and just wanted a "normal" phone. The only reason she had one was because her dad bought her the most expensive version he could find of anything she wanted/needed even if that wasn't the _kind_ she wanted in exchange for never leaving his office to be a parent. I bet you can guess how that relationship went; she taught me that beauty on the outside doesn't necessarily make its way inside.
Oh. My God. I remember this beautiful flipping basto. I remember recording out a car window going 80 down a open highway and it flying out of my hand and bouncing across the pavement. Snapping shut as it landed, we turned around and came back to grab it. Picked it up and it was not only STILL RECORDING. it only had 3 scuffs on it.
I had the V3 Razr in pink and I remember that it only had space for like 2 or 3 songs IF they didn't exceed 3MB. The fact that I could take photos with it closed was mind blowing to me. It had COLORS and 2 cameras? YES PLEASE. I loved this phone's design and to press random buttons on it because thery were SO sleek.
I think I had the OG, and I distinctly remember using up the majority of the storage space just to have the opening riff of slayer's raining blood as a ringtone
I love old tech and let me tell you, the Siemens looks GORGEOUS. I have a couple of old Sony Ericssons and they work fantastically well.. still to this day I sometimes play old mobile games on them just 'cause of nostalgia and such.
I agree on the Siemens! Back when those kinds of phones were popular, that would have been a sweet device to have. I can't remember if I've ever seen a color LCD like that before. It's really neat. It's also weird to me that Siemens made phones at all. I thought they just did automation and medical devices.
This was THE phone. This was the first cell phone I remember "everyone" wanted or had. People had phones before, of course. But the Razr was the first time that I remember people talking about a SPECIFIC phone. It was the first time I remember people pulling out their phone not just to brag about having a cell phone in school at all, but to show off WHICH cell phone they had. It was the evolution of phones being "wow, you have your own cell phone!" to "Wow, you have THAT cell phone!"
I've always loved this phone-to this day by FAR my favourite cell phone, if all you need it for is calling people. So satisfying to snap it shut. But I've always had a soft spot for mid-2000's phones and bits of electronic jank, the same way I love ancient power tools; while things are usually easier to use once things hit the "optimum design" (Ie; screen rectangle for phones), things are so much more interesting when everyone is trying to figure out how things worked. Like-now one friend has a google and one has an Iphone-big deal, they've got nearly identical features and work the same way. But back when this came out people could roll up with ANYTHING-slide out keyboard? Sure. Folding? Yes. Weird form factors? Absolutely.
Those Razr phones were absolute hotness in their day. When a phone was expected to... Make phone calls. Anything else was amazing. If I recall correctly, the camera was actually good for the time, n such a sleek bit of industrial design. The monolithic black slab we all carry around today, very lame. My mates were all nerds, we all had weird n wonderful telephony devices, definitely a competition as only teenage males can do. I never owned one myself, but mad respect at the Razr. Such a decent bit of kit.
I used to have this exact model (right down to the colour). Loved it still the best mobile I ever owned! Only thing the iTunes link up was kind of a gimmick, it had internal space for like 1 song, and no expandable storage (not even kidding)
I used to be able to power old phones by taking out the battery and plugging in the charger. Not sure if it works on all phones, but Nokia used to be able to do that.
These were the absolute coolest phone you could have back in 2005. I remember my mom got one of the pink ones and I'd always take it just to look at. Times change, but phones (and technology as a whole) feels a lot less exciting than it did in the early 2000s.
Thank God for these man. Been in a roughed spot after not getting a call for a wildland fire apprenticeship this year despite being told tons of spots were open. Would probably be back to the bottle if I didn’t have these distracting me right now. God bless you Wade, on ya
I believe in you stranger!! proud of you for staying strong even in the face of hardship too. you'll get that apprenticeship right when you're meant to, and this year it will happen!!
That colour phone's batter probably still worked because it was some sort of nickel battery. Ive got a nickel metal hydride 4 cell pack for an rc plane i have never charged since i got it out of a plane my dad found renovating a house. It still has enough of a charge to activate all of the servos and the receiver when I flip it on.
I've had so many Razrs throughout history, from when I was in high school in the 00s all the way up through 2017 when my poor v9x handed it in. And the networks that supported them are offline in America, so I can't do anything with any of my old ones or anything.
my mom and sister had one of these model Motorola Razor phones in 2000’s my mom still has hers found if you don’t have the OEM charger or a generic replacement copy of the original charger or it will not charge and the only way we can get it to charge on the third-party cable is if you use a PC and charge it from the USB port off a computer
This is by far one of my two favorite phones of all time (Other being the Blackberry Curve) and it is in a museum now. I'm not kidding . I would love to have one even though they won;t work anymore in the US. Just to have it!
My first phone was one of these. Now that I think of it, I remember it always complaining "invalid battery" for the little time I had it. It lasted like a week or so, then it broke down and never turned on again. After all it was used for 2 or 3 years before I got it.
True story: I nicked one of the fake display models of these from a really old phone shop and walked around for about a good month pretending it worked. I was like 7, give me a break.
German technology 👌😂 I had a Siemens C45 as a teen (I didn't want a Nokia, because every bastard in school had one, even in Germany) and I loved it so much and had it for four years, before I bought a Sony Ericsson from my first proper salary. I gifted the Siemens to a neighbour of my grandparents and it worked another three (!) years with the same battery. This phone refused to die. 😊 My replacement phone is a Nokia 8210 from 1999, my mom had it in a cardboard box in the (fortunately dry as a bone) basement, forgot about it and found it in 2021 during moving and gifted it to me with the charger cable and it came to life after 20 minutes recharging. The battery lost a lot of it's capacity and I bought a new one, but the phone still works a charm. And a lot of smartphones don't survive three years nowadays.
Dead ass, I had one of these as a kid and it was unbreakable. Over time both the back and front screens had not only broken, but were gone completely. I could stick my finger through the phone. IT STILL WORKED. Obviously I couldn't see what I was doing but it still sent and received calls and (I imagine) texts. After that my grandpa had got me a blackberry and that thing was.. interesting lol. I'm not even sure what happened to that thing, it's like this weird little blip in my life lol
someone in my family had one of these just laying around. i used to pretend it was a phone from the future due to how cool it looked. it was long dead and was eventually either lost or thrown out.
@dankpods, on the off chance you see this, take out the battery from the back. Most phones back then work on just the wall cord plugged into the phone and no battery. My project red razr still works this way. Good luck!!
First it was the sprint flip phone that made that satisfying click when you opened and closed it then it was this one. Those were the two gotta have it flip phones when I was a kid before touch screen was ever a thing.
My mom was late to cell phone adoption, and within 2 years she had one of these given to her by a coworker even though to her it was just a phone the same as any other. Was always so jealous.
This was I think the second phone I owned? Don't recall the mini USB being used for the head phones. Now I've come full circle and I'm watching this on the new Razr and this does NOT have a audio jack at all!
Oh man, I remember when my dad owned one of these (he bought the green one) around like back in mid 2000s (i forgot which year basicaly before Blackberry is a thing). If this phone still exist by now, i maybe will used it as Music player only.
Speaking of weird battery problems I have a Game boy advance SP and the battery works perfectly fine but yet I had to buy a new battery for my New Nintendo 3DS XL.
Funny thing is I actually took mine to a grinding disc, and filed the top of the phone to a razor edge. So you can technically shave with it. This was after I use the phone and moved on from it.
So, I went to the phone display case in my workshop, grabbed my ancient black Razer and a USB shite-cable, plugged it in, and.... she's charging. :) To this day, I think it's my favourite phone of all time. I started with the Moto Briefcase, then a Brick, and then ALL the flip phones, finishing with the Razer. Edit: It started up after a few minutes of charging!
Man I remember having this one for the longest. Loved it. That 1.5 camera was actually decent. Furthermore the thing was indestructible, I dropped it on wet snow, the squishy dirty black snow that gathers outside of an apartment building at pick hour... ALL NIGHT! I realize I dropped it in the morning and went for it looking... Started calling it and bam... There it is not giving a single fuck... And not a single text or call lol
Try this for old nuggets with invalid battery issue or a battery with a cross, pull the battery out, take a toothbrush and wet it with water and apply a little soap to the toothbrush, then brush the golden contact terminals of the battery and wipe with a towel. use alcohol or perfume on a towel to clean the pins of the device. works like a charm everytime. the nugget will take a charge and the battery starts to work.
Are you sure that travel adapter is supposed to be used like that? Looks like you've plugged the european plug into the earth for UK/USA/AU plugs, and the other prong into maybe the center earth for Italian plugs? Might explain killing one of the lights. Could be wrong (and it would be amazing if that battery still had a charge) but I just can't figure out how one hole could be both earth and live.
Old Motorolas used a proprietary usb charger. You can’t charge them with a normal usb. That probably the reason why it’s not working (also the battery is probably cooked)
The Siemens S 10 was something like a Mercedes S Class among cell phones back in the 90s. Even with an overpriced cell phone contract, it was still unaffordable. For the average user, there was the C series. In Austria, it was standard to get either a Nokia or a Siemens phone with your cell phone contract. The cheapest contracts did not allow you to make a single minute of calls and cost 200 ATS upwards. 1996 16 US Dolla today approx. 30 Euro A minute of calling costs 10 ATS 0,80Euro
My dad used to have a Siemens (pronounced as zee-mens or can by misheard it as some sticky gooey thing) C65. The OS is kinda sluggish but it's kinda sturdy, like some sort of German engineering thing.
One of my favorite mobile games was in this Moto Razr. It's named Crazy, and it is like subterranean warfare. You blast the ground and try to hit each other. Think of it like the Worms game.
This was my first one without the iTunes unfortunately. I still have mine, not sure it turns on but it still looks beautiful. I remember the headphones 😂
bro, I'd buy a razr this very second, whatever the price (as long as its around $2k ) if they kept the externals the same and updated the innards. swapped the main screen with a touch screen. ive had a smartphone since the iphone 2 and i used to use a smartphone for everything but now ive realized specialized devices are way better than using a smartphone for everything. so now i use a tablet for entertainment, a laptop for serious business and email, and now i just use a smartphone the same as the old razr phones; taking pics on the go, listening to music, texts, and phone calls. if the batteries werent an issue and RAZRs took modern sim cards i would just buy an old RAZR right now.
I used mine 15 years and yeah the batteries are their weakness, both mine got unusable thanks to their batteries and even replacement batteries didn't helped, though it lasted 15 years
I have a STACK of old Motorola phones that don't work anymore. This reminded me of how much I should never get Motorola, especially their lower end phones--
Want a good laugh? (or a sad cry, depending how you see it) Get a V3 razr and take a video. Take the video outdoors in bright sun amongst brightly lit surroundings like a white house or car etc. You might get about 10 seconds of recording time per video. Take the same phone indoors in very low light and take a video. You might get a full minute (or more!) of video. All in glorious 3GP quality. I had one back in their heyday. Loved the thing. It was the first phone I ever had that could take a video. Boy did I take videos with it! I would document my walks in the woods with that phone. On average, i would get 20 to 30 seconds a clip. Each time I would stop walking and restart the recording and try to make each little clip blend as seamlessly as possible with the next. I would take all the clips in Windows Movie Maker and put them all together into one long video with a terrible jump every 20 to 30 seconds or so. But that's just how it was. Also when recording video, I held the phone HORIZONTALLY (like everyone should do when making a video !! !!! !!!!!) The one thing I hated about the Razr was the fact that the keys rubbed the screen when closed. As evident by the perfectly engraved outline of every key in the screen. On my second Razr, I kept a piece of "bum-wipe" cleaning cloth between the keypad and screen. After the V3, I went to the LG EnV. Another amazing phone. The EnV opened up like a tiny laptop and had stereo speakers. I loved that damn thing too. I also had two of them. After that, I went back to Motorola and have had one since. Currently with the Moto-G 5G Stylus. I was thinking about getting the new Razr, but found out that there is NO HEADPHONE JACK! They can stuff that "no headphone jack" shit right back up their as I was saying... The Razr was a fun phone. edit for dumb speeling errors. (taht one was intentional) ((so was that)
True Story: When I was a kid my dad heard on the radio something about a free Razr at the mall. He actually went just to discover that it wasn’t a shaving razor and just a stinkin cell phone! 😂
Did he give it to you?
😂😂😂 that is so funny
@@cam-f8k he never got it because of course “free” didn’t truly mean free.
@@ColtonKiefer ahh I see what your saying. They meant free like you could buy one like they had them in stock.
@@cam-f8k naw it was something like the phone itself is free, but you had to lock into a contract for a certain amount of time.
Never seen so many dankpods uploads in one day… ever

My razrs USB port wore out.
The bay of E's what a nice name. Better than ebay
@adambevillI believe it was a shift of reliability. Mini made the plug skookum but the port suffered, so micro reversed that because it's easier to replace the cable

let me guess: the relationship lasted about at most a month after this event
@Eeeeeeeee75282 the phone's battery life was probably longer than that relationship.
dang, I am glad my dad was around for my childhood then. My dad got me a motorola Razr phone because I wanted one, he also got me an N-Gage phone too.

Razr: “I was only doing what you asked of me!”
I love old tech and let me tell you, the Siemens looks GORGEOUS.
I have a couple of old Sony Ericssons and they work fantastically well.. still to this day I sometimes play old mobile games on them just 'cause of nostalgia and such.
Ah yes, the golf game you had to hold sideways was actually pretty addicting.

As a kid I always wanted to have one of these Razer Phones. They had been like WHOA! IT'S FOLDING! IT HAS TWO SCREENS! - I never got one
The chaos of the ending might be some of my favorite Dankpods content 😂
I had the Razr when it came out and to this day it’s still my favorite phone ever. If it worked on modern bands I would probably still use it
Those Razr phones were absolute hotness in their day. When a phone was expected to... Make phone calls. Anything else was amazing. If I recall correctly, the camera was actually good for the time, n such a sleek bit of industrial design. The monolithic black slab we all carry around today, very lame. My mates were all nerds, we all had weird n wonderful telephony devices, definitely a competition as only teenage males can do. I never owned one myself, but mad respect at the Razr. Such a decent bit of kit.
I used to have this exact model (right down to the colour). Loved it still the best mobile I ever owned!
Only thing the iTunes link up was kind of a gimmick, it had internal space for like 1 song, and no expandable storage (not even kidding)
I used to be able to power old phones by taking out the battery and plugging in the charger. Not sure if it works on all phones, but Nokia used to be able to do that.

Maybe they're waiting until you seek treatment for your delusions and irrational adult belief in fairy tales.
I believe in you stranger!! proud of you for staying strong even in the face of hardship too. you'll get that apprenticeship right when you're meant to, and this year it will happen!!
My old Razr is one of the very few bits of old gear I truly miss.
I had a pink Razr that an aunt gave me as a gift and I loved it so much!
I miss this phone tbh.
That colour phone's batter probably still worked because it was some sort of nickel battery. Ive got a nickel metal hydride 4 cell pack for an rc plane i have never charged since i got it out of a plane my dad found renovating a house. It still has enough of a charge to activate all of the servos and the receiver when I flip it on.
Oh my god you just unlocked a memory that my mom had this phone when it first came out 😂
I have used a Sony Ericsson 750 or something for a week last year and it still worked flawlessly. Amazing.
My grandma had one of those that still worked up until 3 years ago when it was lost in a house fire. It was pretty great
I've had so many Razrs throughout history, from when I was in high school in the 00s all the way up through 2017 when my poor v9x handed it in. And the networks that supported them are offline in America, so I can't do anything with any of my old ones or anything.

I really said "How do you pronounce that? SEE-MENS?" Wholeheartedly said that out loud.
i remember being a kid when this came out and let me tell ya i was dreaming of having one more than anything else!
Man, when anti consumer practiced just were made even more the norm by adding DRM to a non smart phone.
This is by far one of my two favorite phones of all time (Other being the Blackberry Curve) and it is in a museum now. I'm not kidding . I would love to have one even though they won;t work anymore in the US. Just to have it!
Now this one brings back memories of being at my sisters pageant and playing snake on my moms purple razr lol
2:18 🎵 hello boyyyyyy 🎶
"For maximum sparky electric business" is the best way to say "charge"
I didn't own one but I knew a few people that did and it felt really well made. I can't even remember what I had when the Razor came out.

Wait you gave money to a kid just for having an expensive phone?
@@lasarousi the currency “paid out” was insults.
I had my Razr phone that i bought from a pawn shop in 2012 for 5yrs. I replaced the Batt. 3 times before the screen went out
Wow this is unlocking memories.

3:14 one of the best feelings in the world🥲
I had the Razr for a few days, but function wise and battery life, I swapped to a Nokia 6230 even though the Nokia screen was awful by compassion.
Hey I wanna see the bluetooth keyboard thing! That sounds wild for the time.
Old Motorolas used a proprietary usb charger. You can’t charge them with a normal usb. That probably the reason why it’s not working (also the battery is probably cooked)

My dad used to have a Siemens (pronounced as zee-mens or can by misheard it as some sticky gooey thing) C65. The OS is kinda sluggish but it's kinda sturdy, like some sort of German engineering thing.
One of my favorite mobile games was in this Moto Razr. It's named Crazy, and it is like subterranean warfare. You blast the ground and try to hit each other. Think of it like the Worms game.
I had the slvr. Kinda always wished I had gotten the razr after though
This was my first one without the iTunes unfortunately. I still have mine, not sure it turns on but it still looks beautiful. I remember the headphones 😂
I miss my Motorola Razer. I had a Nokia phone like that Siemens phone with a similar design case. lol
Bruh I remember my first phone was the Redish-orange razr, makes me miss it
These days I find myself saying or thinking "MY PKCELL!!!" when I bump or knock something over, even if it's not a battery.
I got tickets for a special event in a box that did the same thing as the old razr
bro, I'd buy a razr this very second, whatever the price (as long as its around $2k ) if they kept the externals the same and updated the innards. swapped the main screen with a touch screen. ive had a smartphone since the iphone 2 and i used to use a smartphone for everything but now ive realized specialized devices are way better than using a smartphone for everything. so now i use a tablet for entertainment, a laptop for serious business and email, and now i just use a smartphone the same as the old razr phones; taking pics on the go, listening to music, texts, and phone calls.
if the batteries werent an issue and RAZRs took modern sim cards i would just buy an old RAZR right now.
Oh dear Dank... You can just solder in ANY lithium ion cell in place of the rotten one and it will just work.
Homeboy had a whole calendar of videos scheduled
I used mine 15 years and yeah the batteries are their weakness, both mine got unusable thanks to their batteries and even replacement batteries didn't helped, though it lasted 15 years
Just based off the thumbnail I would like to say there is a phone you can shave with look it up.
Happy new year bois!
I have a STACK of old Motorola phones that don't work anymore. This reminded me of how much I should never get Motorola, especially their lower end phones--
I thought that Siemens was called "SOD Active" for a second.
dude, you can still knock-off batts for the razr,
i expect to see a dank follow-up!
I use Siemens CT/PET and MRI scanners in a research lab, wasn’t expecting to see their brand slapped on the first color screen mobile phone 😂
I work with their PLC's on industrial machines. I also wasn't expecting the phone lol
They made mobile phones since the 80s I think
Silver one looks best. The battery is removable so it can be easily fixed.
what id do for a slightly larger modern flip phone with a touchscreen on the inside and out.. basically a galaxy flip without the soft screen
Want a good laugh? (or a sad cry, depending how you see it) Get a V3 razr and take a video. Take the video outdoors in bright sun amongst brightly lit surroundings like a white house or car etc. You might get about 10 seconds of recording time per video. Take the same phone indoors in very low light and take a video. You might get a full minute (or more!) of video. All in glorious 3GP quality. I had one back in their heyday. Loved the thing. It was the first phone I ever had that could take a video. Boy did I take videos with it! I would document my walks in the woods with that phone. On average, i would get 20 to 30 seconds a clip. Each time I would stop walking and restart the recording and try to make each little clip blend as seamlessly as possible with the next. I would take all the clips in Windows Movie Maker and put them all together into one long video with a terrible jump every 20 to 30 seconds or so. But that's just how it was. Also when recording video, I held the phone HORIZONTALLY (like everyone should do when making a video !! !!! !!!!!)
The one thing I hated about the Razr was the fact that the keys rubbed the screen when closed. As evident by the perfectly engraved outline of every key in the screen. On my second Razr, I kept a piece of "bum-wipe" cleaning cloth between the keypad and screen. After the V3, I went to the LG EnV. Another amazing phone. The EnV opened up like a tiny laptop and had stereo speakers. I loved that damn thing too. I also had two of them. After that, I went back to Motorola and have had one since. Currently with the Moto-G 5G Stylus. I was thinking about getting the new Razr, but found out that there is NO HEADPHONE JACK! They can stuff that "no headphone jack" shit right back up their as I was saying... The Razr was a fun phone.
edit for dumb speeling errors. (taht one was intentional) ((so was that)
I loved the razer even if I didn't have one lol
5:43 too many emotions in too little time. reminded me of my friend who had bipolar
5:06 is the best song i’ve ever heard
my dad had one of these for about a week before he jumped into a lake with it in his pocket. tragic at the time
