has anyone used this for internet access? i have the ability to use mine for that but i wanna know if someone has used it before. it hooks up with USB. i seriously doubt OSX will work with it. has anyone used the bluetooth with this phone over the computer? i wanna know if i can make ring tones for it.

why the heck would you doubt that? It works PERFECTLY with OSX, and allows things that you just cant do using this phone with a PC. and yes, you can make ring tones for it. just make a midi file, or an MP3 of the section of the song you want, and using bluetooth file exchange put them in the "audio" folder of your phone.
again, tha RAZR (from Motorola) works GREAT with OSX, even allows address book synching.

The Motorola RAZR works beautifully with Mac OS X and bluetooth. Go to http://www.taniwha.org.uk/ to get the Motorola gprs scripts. The 3g CID2 and 3g CID2 scripts work great with the RAZR. I have mine through Cingular, and have the unlimited media net plan - $20 a month. The speed is in the ballpark of dial up, but all in all is good with connecting. If you have it through Verizon, well, I'm sorry, you're stuck with the USB cable, as Verizon cripples the bluetooth capabilites of the phone to only being capable of working with a bt headset. On the upside, the mini usb cable is a nice way to charge the phone in a pinch.
Fortunately, bluetooth tethering for the RAZR is the same as it is on the V551/V557/V600 phones. If you need any help, feel free to contact me.
basically i dont have a blue tooth computer yet, but all the new macs have it right? and what about software for the PC to get ringtones to it? i tried plugging it in and nothing happens.
ahhh... the software for doing ringtones and such from your pC is from motorola, and is QUITE expensive... and difficult to come by. a less scrupulous person may be able to find a torrent of this program somewhere. When i am at home i will tell you the name of the software. It also requires jumping through hoops with a driver that is not bundled with that program. i CAN help you if your using a PC to work on your cingular/t-mobile/rogers RAZR, but not in a forum... maybe in PM... not sure if that would violate forum rules. or, you could just by a new mac, which does all of this right out of the box without buying anything else.... "Mac OSX, it just works..."

im also running panther with usb but nothing shows up on the desktop, not sure if it should but i dont know what to look for either. T-mobile is my choice of service and will stay that way till someone else proves me wrong
that should work as well, although you may have to upgrade to tiger... not sure. im on the road now, but ill give it a shot when i get home and let you know.
Bill
hey thanks!
alright, for ease of operation, and to avoid buying a new computer... without bluetooth youre just going to be able to use iSync, with USB to do adress book type stuff.
i recomennd upgrading to tiger and going to best buy and getting a 25-30 dollar USB bluetooth 2.0 dongle, then you can use bluetooth file exchange to do ringers, picture transfer (both onto and off of your phone) etc.
it would be a much smaller investment than a new computer (depending upon how honest you are, just the cost of the dongle even) and would let you use your phone in a way you want.

Just do a google for an mp3 editing app. I can't think of the name of one, but they are easily found. Cut your desired track to a small file, and it'll work nicely.
Audacity.

Easy. Powerful. Free. 'Nuff said.
where do i find file exchange? if its in tiger then ill have to get it, but if i can use USB to transfer files ill be happy. as far as getting a blue tooth dongle im still only able to run usb 1.1 ..... at this current time a mac mini sounds like somthing i need for other things besides just my cell phone.
so... how could i, using USB, move data (ringtones, pics, etc...) between my motorola razr (verizon serviuce plan, so, BT is crippled) and mmy mac (running 10.3.9)?
I have not been able to figure out how to do this.
Tried iSynch? Im pretty sure thats what you use, I've only ever used it with my palms, and it worked fine.

It didnt show up. tried to add it and could not.
Maybe you need some kind of "driver" software or something so the mac can see it?
John
iSync won't work for the Verizon RAZR because Verizon decided that its customers don't need to use Bluetooth to actually transfer files or use their phone as a modem. Your only hope is to find a way to seem edit the system files to enable full bluetooth functionality, I think, but I don't know how to do that.
Yes, i knbow that, i am trying to transfer stuff via USB
i went out and bought software from bestbuy that works with my razr via USB. its called "Pix n' tunes" works great, but its for pc only.... no more paying for dumb ringtones from websites that dont even sound good....
What I do for ringtones on my T-Mobile Motorola V300 is to upload the ringtones I want to add (that I had already edited in SoundForge) to some Web space...anything that will let you download the file directly from an http address. Then I just point the Web browser on the phone to that address, and the phone automatically downloads the mp3 and asks if I want to save it. T-Mobile customers need to have a data plan (the $5/month T-Zones plan is fine), but it's definitely cheaper that way than paying $2/ringtone or whatever.
For Verizon RAZRs, IIRC there's a hack out there where you can reenable the BT. Try Googling for it.
OK well, you can pretty much do anything, even reclaim your crippled Verizon phones. but, you need confidence, the ability to not be too upset if you brick your phone, and a PC (windows) to do the modding. after you mod it, then you can play with your mac. No love for modifying the phone form a Mac though.
Pretty much any question you have can be (or has already been) answered here:

AMAZING forums, with a ton of knowledgeable people. It has allowed me to have so much fun with my cingular RAZR (V3)

oh, and on your mac, Tiger needs to come to the party if you want to play with the RAZR. I know on my old G3 iMac, after i got tiger on it, i plugged a USB cable into my Cingular branded V3 RAZR (COMPLETLEY different phone than the Verizon RAZR) and then plugged it into a USB port on the iMac and it recognized it instantly.
