so thats the stupidest thing ive ever heard. a cell phone starting at $579.99?? yall are crazy.
on December 4th, 2005 at 1:45 am
I really love this phone, but peole that i know have the phone say that it is really expensive to replace because if you drop it, it is not fixable, you would have to get a new one. Cute but not worth for that price. The price should be lower.
on December 4th, 2005 at 12:29 pm
I already bought it yesterday it was kinda of worth it but i love it!!!!
on December 4th, 2005 at 12:38 pm
yahssssss got it fur crimbo hehe
chufted
on December 4th, 2005 at 4:17 pm
I bought this at T-moblie for much less, it was $249, and well worth it!
on December 6th, 2005 at 8:11 am
That is definatly something i wouldn’t waste my money on. It comes in three colours at the most, it has a cheap reception concidering it’s only how thick? yeah don’t even bother. I know a few people that HAD this cellphone returned it bought a nice little one decent size for less then half the price of this phone, and i bet it will last longer, better reception and take pictures too.
on December 7th, 2005 at 12:46 pm

I ABSOLUTELY fell in love with this phone when I saw it!!!! I wasnt going to pay that much for it though. I found the website giftronics.biz not .com it was 189.00. But I havent recieved it yet and havent gotten any response from them so I am hoping they are legit…. If anyone has also ordered from this site and recieved their phone or have gotten a response PLEASE post and let me know. Thank You….
on December 11th, 2005 at 6:46 pm
I also placed an order for this phone on Giftronics.biz and I got a confirmation and will hopefully get a tracking number tomorrow! I am soooo EXCITED! WOW! IF this turns out to be legit, what a bunch of fools buying on EBAY…LOL
on December 12th, 2005 at 2:46 pm
yeah I know what you mean I think we found the deal of a lifetime!!!
when giftronics contacts you do they actually write you or do they send some stupid automated email?
on December 13th, 2005 at 2:50 am
UMM..i AM THINKING ABOUT BUYING THE PHONE FROM THAT GIFTTRONICS PLACE…CAN SOMEONE LET ME KNOW IF THEY REALLY ARE LEGIT?..DID YOU GUYS EVER YOUR PHONES?
on December 13th, 2005 at 12:22 pm
Britt,
No. I have not recieved my phone yet, today will be the 7th day of delivery time. when I placed my order they said that it would take 3-7 days so I should get it today. I will let you know when I finally do recieve it. So you can also join in on the deal of the century:) We can all be fashionistas with our HOT pink razr phones! LOL
on December 13th, 2005 at 8:42 pm
Shanna,
Don’t know if you received this email but I just wanted to post for you if you didn’t…there was some kind of delay on the shipping so your phone probably won’t come until around 14th or something like that.

I heard that there is really good deals with this phone going on a Rogers. Of course, you have to sign up with a contract, but I would rather have the phone, and working too =)
on December 14th, 2005 at 3:36 pm
Thanks Britt!!! I dont understand what is going on with this company… I have contacted them over 10 times and I cannot for the life of me get a human being on the phone!!! But thank you for the posting that was really nice of you
on December 14th, 2005 at 10:24 pm
What is Rogers?
on December 15th, 2005 at 4:09 am
i just bought something on giftronics too and cant get a hold of them. I’m really scared that they aren’t legit. Will someone let me know if they get any of the items they purchased?
on December 15th, 2005 at 11:24 am
Ok I did a little research on this site kinda fishy ISP hosted out of Arizona giftronics was registered in Verginia wesite says it’s in California hmmm I would be interested to see if people get stuff

I bought a Razr phone from giftronics also, found them on froogle. First of all when I was checking out the price was like $189 then after submitting my credit card info the price suddenly jumped to 198 to include sales tax which should not be charged for out of state purchases in the first place. Anyways I ordered on Dec 1, they have not replied to any of my emails and do not answer their phone. I alreaady contacted my bank and back charged them! you guys should do the same!
on December 16th, 2005 at 9:43 pm
So did anyone ever receive anything from giftronics? just wondering if the “delayed shipping” was just an excuse. I’m in the same boat, deciding whether to cancel order or not.
on December 17th, 2005 at 5:05 pm
Oh oh
I ordered something else from gifttronics.
I can’t either get on hold of them, their phone sounds like disconnected and have had only one email answered, with “delayed” shipping shcedule.
I also found them using Google’s Frogle, and believed on them.
I received an email from them with a received message.
My card shows no charge..yet
Should I order my bank to don’t accept a charge from them?

on December 18th, 2005 at 3:33 pm
Did anyone actually recieve anything from giftronics??????? i placed an order on december 13th and havent heard from them, does anyone know what the deal is??
on December 19th, 2005 at 1:52 am
plz tell me how put vidoes on my motorola razr v3???? plz help me until now i dont know how?
on December 19th, 2005 at 12:51 pm
I too purchased this phone from giftronics.biz . I have not been able to get a hold of anyone. I have become concerned. On their “about us page” it shows a picture of a woman. I can’t exactly remember the title they give her but I do remember her first name was Judith. This page has now disaappeared for me. However, before it did I looked at the properties of the image. It contained the name Pat Miller. I googled this name and found a Pat Miller, Secretary of Commerce for the State of Indiana. The same picture was used. I am begining to believe this is all a scam. Let’s keep the info coming.
on December 20th, 2005 at 2:49 pm
I feel sorry for all you people that bought from giftronics.biz. the website is a scam and you all have been scammed. i suggest you cancel your credit cards right and call your bank and inform them if nothing have yet been purchase on your credit card. the best place to get that razr phone is a website called…….
on December 20th, 2005 at 3:04 pm
I too placed an order from giftronics.com thinking it was a good deal. I also received the same everyone else did. I tried calling them but kept getting a busy signal. That’s when I started thinking this company could be a fake. Most companies have automated answering services that directs your call to customer service. Even if they don’t have something like that an answering machine is turned on after hours. They have nothing? What kind of business is that? I decided to look up the area code(866) they gave on the website. It does not exist. The area code for Los Angeles should be 213. Next I tried doing a reverse address look up on www.dexonline.com. They address given on the website exists, except there are many other companies in the same building. Their company was not found. I also found another website using froogle that is almost a copy: ppinc.easystorecreator.com/store.asp. They have the same address in Los Angeles, the same area code(866), and the same set up. I would suggest canceling your credit card. They have your credit card number now and can use it anywhere they want to.
on December 20th, 2005 at 3:51 pm
i have this phone as well i love it!!!!!
i got it on ebay real cheap
on December 21st, 2005 at 3:31 am
Hey everyone! I bought a phone from this so called giftronics.biz company (I also found the website off of froogle) on November 24th and I never received my phone. I thought I was getting a good deal getting the phone for only $189. They did charge me $198.45. I tried calling them many times and only got a busy signal. I live in a suburb of LA so I went to the supposed address and it doesn’t exist. I would suggest your report it to this website:
www.ifccfbi.gov/index.asp
I think if we all report our being taken advantage of we might actually get these people in trouble.
Also, I would cancel the credit card or have them change the number of the credit card you paid with. I did that tonight.
Do not buy from this company!!!
on December 21st, 2005 at 8:21 am
I’ve already given up hope of these people being legit and cancelled my card, but has anyone received other weird chrages on their accounts that these people might have made with our credit card numbers?????
on December 21st, 2005 at 3:02 pm
I ordered a nano ipod, on the 7th of dec. still have not got it, have do i contact this giftronics??????
on December 21st, 2005 at 4:00 pm
omfg dis phone is so effin hawt hoo wouldnt want it?
i mean cum on . . .and yea im gettin it 4 x-mas yay!
any1 dat c’s dis HAWT phone would die 4 it unless ur dumb-lol-
bubi
on December 21st, 2005 at 5:03 pm
The website www.giftronics.biz is no longer there. If you want a razor for cheap go to cingular.com
on December 22nd, 2005 at 5:01 am
I filed my complaint for the www.giftronics.biz website with www.ifccfbi.gov. I found a different website selling (not selling) the same merchandise and using the same physical street address, be aware, here it is……..http://ppinc.easystorecreator.com/store.asp
on December 22nd, 2005 at 10:11 am
I, too, filed a complaint, although I think the odds of anything being done are slim.
on December 23rd, 2005 at 3:55 am
I also tried to purchase a Razr from Giftronics, needless to say I’m not happy. Following up on michaels entry I found that the website: ppinc.easystorecreator.com/ store.asp, asks all who send money orders or checks to make them payable to “JPK”. An individual from craigslist (Racer X5/http://forums.craigslist.org/?act=Q&ID=36490027) complained that they never received two phones they had ordered from giftronics.biz, and stated that a credit card payment was made to: JKAUFMAN10018@YAHOO.CO - 646-2193454 NY. JKaufman/JPK–coincidence?
on December 23rd, 2005 at 11:48 am
Along with all you guys, I also ordered a phone from giftronics and never recieved it, but I haven’t tried to contact them. I tried to get to their website on the 23rd and I wasnt able to, so it seems like something has been done. If ppinc.easystorecreator.com/ store.asp is the same store we should report them too and get them kicked also.
on December 23rd, 2005 at 11:55 am
The site is a fraud!!! I was able to cancel my credit card before they charged it, do not use them!!!!
on December 23rd, 2005 at 1:54 pm
I fell for the great IPOD prices also. I canceled my credit card before any charges appeared. It has since been canceled. I hope who ever is behind this has a terrible holiday. What a rotten thing to do to Santa’s helpers.
on December 23rd, 2005 at 3:02 pm
I have also purchased something from that company, I have not cancelled my credit card, however I have looked into them, and I have noticed they change their name to keep from getting caught. I am going to call the website host, and tell them, and then report it to that local police station, and give them this forum to use to gather evidence. I am going to see if my credit card can track the account it was shipped to and see if I can do something from there. If anyone would like to help, then I guess the best thing we can do is pool our resources together. Post what new stuff you have dug up on the company, and if we all work together we can possibly beat them at their own game. Thanks Ross for all that key information above, and I think I might do the same with that new company. That number they gave me to call with my order confirmation number was tracked to their new website too, so if I can back track the number through yellow pages or a private investigator, and have the account names for the phone number shipped to me, then I can use that as proof too. Any suggestions about anything else to do? If you would like to contact me then leave a message on this forum, and we can try to get into more direct contact. Thank you, and I wish you all the happiest of holidays, and this grinch will soon get what he deserves.
on December 23rd, 2005 at 8:28 pm
Has anyone heard back from the IFCCFBI; what are they doing about this?
on December 27th, 2005 at 1:17 pm
I too purchased an ipod that never came from giftronics!!! I filed a complaint with the internet fraud department. Fortunately, they never charged me but now they have my credit card number.
on December 30th, 2005 at 4:04 pm
I have been shopping online for a long time and I feel stupid that I did not check out the company before I made the purchase. I bought a Pink RAZR for my mom for Christmas form the site PurposePromotions.com. I guess like another post said, they change their name to stay in business.
I’ve already called my bank to dispute the charge.
on January 1st, 2006 at 4:48 pm
Wow, I am so glad that I looked into this Purpose Promotions. I was just about to order the Ipod Video today. Something told me to look into it a little further. I must say I am disappointed that I will not be able to get the video since reg price is just more than I planned to spend, so I must settle on the nano. But on the other hand, I would have been so much more disappointed to have ordered it and never recieved it. I can’t believe they are getting away with this. I hope something is done to permanantly put these people out of their so called buisness. Happy new year to all.
on January 1st, 2006 at 8:58 pm
Dave, i wanna get into contact with you, i got scammed as well and i wanna take them down with the help of other people. I tried their number, of course busy. Emails were not received. I havent gotten the credit card statement yet but if there is a charge im hoping there elegible to be sued or something. How can i contact you more privately
on January 2nd, 2006 at 12:56 am
Has anyone been actually charged on their credit cards from these websites at all?
on January 3rd, 2006 at 5:15 am
hey pepz wen i saw da phone i knew i wanted it i am allowed it but i dont know were to find 1 for the cheapest price can any1 help if u can email me on emilyloveseminem@hotmail.co.uk
on January 5th, 2006 at 8:55 am
Hey rst, did the purpose promotion website work for the pink razr????????
on January 7th, 2006 at 7:08 pm
i’m sorry that u guys got scammed =( but does anybody kmow if the razr phone is light weight?
on January 7th, 2006 at 7:15 pm
hey u guys i went on the website and it said that they are closing the store temporary in late Dec. or early Jan. for maintenace. the site was purposepromotions.com
on January 9th, 2006 at 12:43 am
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
If you are DYING TO BUY THIS HOT PINK RAZR, NOW IS YOUR CHANCE TO GET IT SUPER CHEAP. NO OTHER MERCHANTS ON THIS PLANET BEAT THESE PRICES.
The page also has MUST READ info for anyone who plans to own the Pink Razr and want to have the phones Operate on their carrier network.
HOT PINK RAZR
www.camera-phones-spot.com/moto_razr_v3_pink/
As for the fradulent merchant, gifttroincs or whatever, call your credit card company and tell them to chargeback. Make sure you always buy from a trusted merchant next time; one way is to do some research on bizrate.
on January 11th, 2006 at 1:05 pm
I too ordered the Pink Razr from Purpose Promotions on 12/23/06. They have had coorespondence with me to let me know that they were backed updue to inventory. Last Wed 1/4/06, I received an email stating my order had shipped, but I still haven’t received it. Has anyone else heard anything? I went ahead and called my credit card company since I have already been charged. I am trying to dipute the charges.
on January 11th, 2006 at 8:16 pm
I sent them a check by FedEX overnight, and someone did sign for the FedEX envelope. Their name is “G.GIO”, and I have a copy of the signature. Let me know if anyone wants it for investigative purposes. Post here and we’ll make arrangements…

on January 23rd, 2006 at 11:54 am
hi
i feel so stupid now that i fell for this deal
i bought palm tx (pda) form ppic.easystorecreator.com
i sent them a check through my bank ($239.00), i may be out of luck
i sent the check to los angeles, CA
i don’t have my pda
but i did recieve a correspondence from them asking me to send them an email writing “i confirm” in the email, which i did but no pda
correspondence came from
jpk mail order
244 5th avenue
New York, NY 10001
probably fake
i don’t know what to do but i guess i will file complaint
on January 26th, 2006 at 2:34 pm
I’m a Purpose Promotions “customer”. My check was signed on the back by “Jason Kaufman/JPK” and cashed at a Keybank in Albany NY on Jan 10th. I still don’t have my gear.
How can we get this guy?
on January 29th, 2006 at 9:57 am
I also got taken by this creep. I found a site [site removed by admin] on searching for Jason Kaufman. He works at RadioShack in the Crossgates Mall, Albany I believe and is a student in Binghamton U, NY. His picture is at this site also. Google Jason S. will also get you similar info including his picture. I have the police trying to nail him, via his signature on my check.
Admin note: Jason S. is not in any way affiliated with the scam of giftronics.
on January 30th, 2006 at 2:00 am
I love the new pink razor phone its so CUTE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
on January 30th, 2006 at 4:05 pm
How did you connect J. Kaufman to J. S.?
on January 31st, 2006 at 10:08 pm
Barbara, I also do not see the connection between the two. However, if the police want additional victims, please post which police dept. is investigating it, and how to contact them. ppinc.easystorecreator.com has already been shut down, and I complained to Lycos (aka Tripod) about the PurposePromotions.com site. I also filed with www.ifccfbi.gov and with labbb.org (Los Angeles Better Business Bureau). But I am much more interested in filing directly with the police. If all of us that were taken in by this guy swallow our pride and file, then he is much more likely to get caught.
AND more importantly, the higher the money amount involved (i.e., the more of us that file), the less likely he’ll be able to plea down to a misdemeanor when he does get caught.
on February 2nd, 2006 at 11:44 am
Guys. I’m another victim of this fraud. Don’t wait. File a police report. There are hundreds of victims. Please publish police department contact info that runs evestigation. Below is some other info that I found in other forums:

OK, Doing my own research about giftronics.biz, this is what I have found. He uses four company names under ppinc.easystorecreator.com/store.asp www.giftronics.biz purposepromotions.com All run under a division of JPK Inc. Two names that are used: Craig Chernoff J Kaufman I have these email addresses: cancellation@purposepromotions.com info@purposepromotions.com ppinc@usa.com JKAUFMAN10018@YAHOO.COM giftronics_mail@yahoo.com shop@giftronics.biz SHIPPING@GIFTRONICS.BIZ cchernoff89125@aol.com orders@purposepromotions.com I have these phone numbers: 1-866-307-6351 1-866-950-5252 1-646-219-3454 I have the following mailing addresses that go to a mail collecting center in California: www.mailservicecenter.com/contactus.htm 8721 Santa Monica Boulevard, # 1053, Los Angeles, CA 90069-4507 9609 Aubs Lane, Glen Allen, VA UNITED STATES, 23060 I have personally filed a complaint against all the companies that he has with the Internet Fraud Complaint Center www.ifccfbi.gov/index.asp and the Better Business Bureau in Virginia complaint.bbb.org/ and California www.labbb.org/BBBWeb/Forms/Complaint/ComplaintInformationPage.aspx?sm=. I placed an online order through www.giftronics.biz back on November 25 and never received anything. Looks like they are using different names to cash checks. Now www.giftronics.biz is dead.

on February 2nd, 2006 at 1:00 pm
I believe these 2 sites are both scamming to get checks sent to them. I ordered 2 Ipod’s from them in Nov. via a CC. They charged the CC and never shipped a thing. My CC Co. reversed the charges while I was on the phone to them with my 1st complaint. I feel bad for anyone who sent a check or MO to them. If it’s too good to be true…..

Guys, sign me up. I’m pretty angry with this stuff. If anyone is doing something about and needs help - let me know.

For anyone who may find that useful: he cashed my check as Jefry Kaufman / JPK at KeyBank, Albany NY on 1/13/2006. I have a copy of the check and a signature. If you need more info please let me know. Let’s track the bastard.

To everyone taken in by Giftronics/Purpose Promotions/etc:
Again, the more people that file complaints with www.ifccfbi.gov/index.asp the more likely they will actually make a serious attempt to find this guy.
Even if your credit card company stopped the charges, that won’t stop the guy from either (a) using the info later, or (b) selling the info.
FILE A COMPLAINT (the following web site is partnered with the fbi).
www.ifccfbi.gov/index.asp
Note yet another similar thread at:
forum.pcvsconsole.com/viewthread.php?tid=17748&page=4
Note that Lycos still hasn’t closed the Tripod site (I filed a complaint with them last week): purposepromotions.com aka purposepromotions.tripod.com (there is a link at the very top of the page to report “abuse”. But don’t substitute this route for reporting it to the fbi (www.ifccfbi.gov/index.asp).

I have read everybody’s mail and got that sick feeling all over again.
Like a dummy, I forwarded a check to JPK and got burned too!!!!
I should have known better to send a check instead of using a credit
card but the price was lower. There’s no fool like an old fool!!!!!
Concluding, I have filed a complaint with the L.A. BBB & The Internet
Fraud Complaint Center & strongly feel we have to stop Jason Kaufman
& his cohorts from doing these criminal actions. I am welcome to
any further ideas anyone has. Thank You!

My check to JPK was cashed in Albany, NY, traced to a Jason S., student at State U. of NY, Binghamton. Still no retribution
on February 13th, 2006 at 8:15 pm
My check to JPK was cashed in Albany, NY, at a Keybank on 1/10/06. The name on the back was Jason Kaufman.
My bank has refused to reimburse me for the charge because I “willingly” entered into business with someone and provided them with my check/account #. The fact that I never received anything and was defrauded by California penal code 532 PC doesn’t mean anything to the bank, apparently. So, now it’s up to me to get retribution from this S.O.B. who I have no idea who he is.
I did file a police report with my local agency and had them forward the report to Albany Police Dept. for them to do follow-up investigation and hopefully track him down. FYI, though, property crimes divisions in any police department are swamped with these kinds of schemes, so the more information you provide them with (i.e. which bank # they cashed the check at on what date, etc.) they might be able to get the teller video from that date and find him.
on February 14th, 2006 at 10:23 pm
i was also scammed by sending purpose promotions a check and it was also cashed by jason in albany
i did a search for jason kaufman in the area of albany where the bank is located
and i got these three names
www.whitepages.com/10001/log_feature/search_suggestion/search/Find_Person?firstname=j&firstname_begins_with=1&name=kaufman&city=albany&state_id=NY&metro_area=1&search_suggestion=1&query_type=364
since he was using jpk i would assume its the third which is jason p kaufman
i can also assume he had a real bank account to his name
i filled a report with the feds and the la bbb dept.
never got a answer from the feds and the bbb said they are closing the report because there was no reply
if anyone has any info please let me know
i wonder if someone would call him (assuming he is one of these 3) and tell him the police are on him and scare the hell out of him maybe he would refund the money.
he is prob a student having a blast
on February 14th, 2006 at 10:24 pm
for any info please e mail me at zmm12345@hotmail.com
i really want to nail him
on February 16th, 2006 at 3:09 am
Barb: You only came up with Jason S.’s myspace because he lists “Ronen Kauffman” under his interests section. Looks like a bad lead.

www.giftronics.biz is now
big-e.easystorecreator.com/
Also working under
big-eshop.com/
I found a website under froogle that just looked too good to be true, They were smart enough to charge almost what the items cost, but knowing that they were things on there site that they couldn’t be selling at that price unless it came from an illegal source I did some research.
What I found was that is just a reincarnation of
ppinc.easystorecreator.com/
www.giftronics.biz
purposepromotions.com
All run under a division of JPK Inc.
This “Company” asks people to send checks or money orders, and after they receive payment they never contact people back, after a couple of weeks the site disappears and a new one appears.
They have used the names
Craig Chernoff
J Kaufman
And this is the information used now (They asked me to send the payment to):
1673 East 16th. Street # 57
Brooklyn, NY 11229

Such a cute phone, I am getting one soon. Only, I’m getting the pink one, not the magenta one. For a limited time only you can get the pink razr for $150 at Cingular, I know crazy right? so everyone run along and get one… tell all your friends!
good luck.

At least we got their new website closed on them, I contacted froogle which is how I found them and reported them as fraud.
big-e.easystorecreator.com/
Check it out.
on March 8th, 2006 at 2:56 pm
I too sent my money to them for a christmas present and I am pissed that they stole my money. I was just reading through all the posts and decided to see if a new site was opened stealing money from other people. I found this site…. elsider.com/index.php. A lot of the prices are exactly the same, but their technique is different. What do you guys think… same people?
on March 12th, 2006 at 1:31 pm
Are feds doing anything about it at all? With all their resources and leads on this site this case could be closed in one week. They have so much info by now - banking account numbers in Albany, and possibly camera shots from the bank, plus all this billing info for domain and store registration. It is not like we are looking for a UFO or ghosts. What’s the point of just closing the website when you find the same one opened under the same name at the same merchant provider? Jason K is probably laughing his butt off by now.
on March 13th, 2006 at 11:01 am
To the person who was thinking about ordering at Elsider.com…DONT! They took $900 of my money and did not send any product. They will not answer my e-mails for a refund either. They are a scam!. They are NOT members of yahoo buyer protection program as they state. AVOID THEM AT ALL COSTS! People are being ripped off by them all over the place!
on March 13th, 2006 at 11:07 am
oh and I forgot to say that Elsider.com is another company whose domain registration is registered in Brooklyn NY. I think the name they are using as an admin contact is false though.
on March 14th, 2006 at 5:35 pm
I feel absolutely foolish but I fell for it and sent these guys a personal check. Now they have my bank name and account number. Should I close my account and open an new one?
They haven’t tried to cash the check and I now have a stop payment on it. It was less than $100 - think they will leave me alone and go after a bigger fish?
My first thought is to close the account but then I thought that I write checks and hand them over all the time. I normally don’t hand them over to known scam artits though.
I’m upset about this, what do you guys think?
on March 17th, 2006 at 2:23 pm
Everyone should send as many e-mails as possible to news agencies about Jason Kaufman/JPK, Inc. Getting it out in the open is the best way to get people to listen and look into this guy. My girlfriend got taken too and it sickens me that someone would do this.
on March 21st, 2006 at 1:53 am
I strongly suggest that anyone that was scammed by elsider.com file a complaint with the FBI at www.ic3.gov/ ASAP (it’s actually seems very simple), I am also 100% sure these are the same people as jump-electronics.com and bew-electronics.com so spread the word!! We have to take these bastards down! Repost this wherever you can. jump-electronics.com is whois protected by whoisprotector.com so we cannot see who registered it, but their operations are a violation of whoisprotector.com’s service agreement so please write to:
WhoisProtector, Inc.
1 North State Street
Suite 1250
Chicago, IL 60602
Phone: 312-994-7654
Email: info@whoisprotector.com
to notify them of this activity to see if they will take action also, to my understanding they will have to contact authorities such as the FBI in order to avoid them from being taken down in the wrath that is to hit the criminals that are behind this.

T-mobile has the best deal right now with a razor. Buy it for 100 dollars and get a 50 dollar mail in rebate Im getting my razor on friday but im not sure if i want it , because i hear bad things about it and i will flip sh*t on tmboile if he breaks quick with the buttons
on May 11th, 2006 at 11:43 am
Hello friends, and fans of the coolest man alive (me that is). Well I bought this phone, yes that’s right, a man with the new hot pink razor! And let me tell you that it is the most wonderful phone ever! I also got my phone for the 100$ followed by the 50$ rebate. Now, I know some people think these phones are crappy. But I honestly find that the razor is a wonderful, innovate new phone, adding style and functionality to the everyday task of calling, text messaging, and taking delightful photographs! I use my phone constantly! I just love texting and talking, knowing that not only do I stand out, but people can see how much good taste and style I have every time I pick up the phone! GO RAZOR, it’s the best phone ever and I hope new equally cool phones come out soon, all the other phones look SO old school compared to the razor!
on May 30th, 2006 at 6:01 pm
i think the razor is hard to use and hate it, but the fact that it take pictures and video it boosts up its status and also that its pink! I luv PINK…Though the pink one is better than the silver and the vcast version, but the black one is right up there with it. For example if the pink razr was a 10 the black razr would recieve a 9.5…. Seeya next time!!!!!
on June 1st, 2006 at 8:51 pm
i love this phone and i had it for like 2 months now and dropped thousands of times and it still works. and when i say drop i mean on tile and i think one time onthe side walk and it didn’t get scratched or dented. cool huh. the only thing is that you need to setup the email thousands of times before u can send an email or else it will say setup not complete. and the flip is still stiff after my dumb friend kept grabbing it from me and dropping it on perpose and trying to scratch it on the fence. she’s not my friend anymore don’t worry bye yall
on June 3rd, 2006 at 2:16 pm
I seriously think that you need to lower the price so that normal people and not just rich ass people can buy this phone or even one like it. I don’t get how you people can sell it for so much. And just in the US. Come on give other people a chance too. I mean I live in the US and am a US citizen born and raised but come on that don’t really seem fair. Lower the price and you might sell more. Hmmm that’s a thought.

[…] Motorola RAZR V3c in Pink Posted in Phones by Danielle on January 29th, 2006. [Del.icio.us] We’ve already seen the Magenta RAZR, but here’s Verizon offering a Light Pink Version of the classic RAZR. The phone retails online at Verizon’s site for $249.99 with a two year contract. And while the pink phone doesn’t quite fit Verizon’s somber buisnessmen-like phone lineup, we’re all happy for the change this phone brings, as well as the appeal to the female market. […]
