Hi all,

Literally signed up for this one question! Since it came out, I always wanted one of the RAZR flip-phones, V3 was the one from back then I think. The coolest phone in existence! But now I need something that can handle at least Whatsapp, since that is the one day-to-day 24/7 means of communication I need, and I don't wanna be carrying around 2 phones!

So is there any hope for me? Is Whatsapp compatible with these old school cool-looking flip-phones? I'm a bit of a novice with the technology so apologies if this is something that can be figured out straight forwardly!

many thanks!

Hey - no worries, we all started somewhere.

Currently there is two main types of phones on the market: Smart phones and feature phones. 

Smartphones have third-party software development and app stores - Googles Play Store, Apples App Store, Amazons App store. They get updates, too.

Featurephones are no longer just phones that make calls and send texts and have a game or two to keep you occupied. They can have social apps and other smartphone - like capabilities, too. However, it still stands: no third-party software development, no app stores and no updates.

The V3 is a featurephone and whatsapp is a third party spftware, so unfortunately there is no chance that you can do that.

Hope that helps!

Cheers,

Nicole
