The Bottom Line:
SonyEricsson s710a beats MotorollaRazrV3. It has 240x320pix, 64MB memory, 1.5Megapixel, records video, flashlight, includes headset, card reader, and pc software. However its only triband while Razr is quadband.
My Cingular plan was due for a phone upgrade which I did this week. I had to choose between two offers they had:

After a lot of reading and research I picked the Sony Ericsson S710a which I think beats the Motorolla Razr v3 with all hands and legs down !
This is why I chose the SE-S710a:
-- SE-S710a screen size is 240x320 (Razr is 176x220)
-- SE-S710a memory is 32MB on phone 32MB MemoryStick Duo (Razr is just 5MB total).
-- SE-S710a has a 1.5 Megapixel camera (Razr is only 0.5 Megapixel)
-- SE-S710a records video (Razr only plays back video)
-- SE-S710a camera has 8x Zoom (Razr is only 4x zoom)
-- SE-S710a has a builtin flash light (Razr got none)
-- SE-S710a comes with a head set for no extra charge
-- SE-S710a comes with a very nice memory-stick/compact-flash USB reader device.
-- All the PC Connectivity Software for the SE-S710a is free and downloadable from:

while you have to pay $29.99 for the Razr PC software called "mobile PhoneTools"
The only advantages of the Razr over SE s710a are:
-- The Razr is quad-band and hence supports the 900MHz band (while s710 is tri-band and does not support 900MHz)
-- The Razr is a little bit lighter and thinner (though its wider)
Other than the features listed above both devices were a tie.
So in summary, if you absolutely need a quad-band phone (i.e. supports the 900MHz frequency) then get the Razr, otherwise you should definitely get the SE s710a.
