Motorola RAZR V3i Calls on iTunes
October 30th, 2006 - Posted in Motorola
Motorola’s latest RAZR offering will have handset owners hearing the sweet sounds of music over the iTunes service. Cingular has signed on as the exclusive provider of the RAZR v3i in the United States.
The RAZR V3i isn’t the first Motorola phone to support iTunes–both the Slvr and the Rokr did so previously, with varying degrees of success. Though the version of iTunes offered on the V3i is far from perfect, this phone does better than either the Slvr or the Rokr.
The dark gray clamshell-style V3i retains the sleek look and feel of earlier Razrs. Measuring 2.1 inches by 3.9 inches by 0.5 inch, and weighing 3.5 ounces, the phone is very thin and light, yet wide enough to grasp comfortably.
The V3i includes a 1.23-megapixel camera, which works about as well as you’d expect. It captures serviceable snapshots and video, but prints are unlikely to be suitable for framing. You can frame shots and view them on the clear, colorful 2.25-inch display.
Motorola’s latest Razr delivers improved battery life and a built-in version of iTunes, but it won’t replace your iPod.
Cingular is offering the new RAZR for $249.99, after a $50 mail-in rebate and a signed two-year service agreement.
