The updated version of the RAZR is going to come to us in the form of the V3i.  Remaining ultra-thin but improving on some styling issues, the V3i added a microSD memory card slot, iTunes music player, and speaker-independent voice control. The camera has also been upgraded to megapixel resolution and supports video capture.  Popular features that stayed are Bluetooth technology, voice recorder, and speaker phone.  The Dolce & Gabbana model in classic gold is sure to be the talk of the party! 

In-Depth Review

The Motorola V3i has all the necessary features that were not included in the original V3 RAZR and is evidently a major upgrade. Although it is somewhat similar in appearance, it shows exceptional improvements demanded by the contemporary wireless world, an overall better camera, potential for expandable memory, and support for iTunes, just to name a few.

The faceplate also communicates improvement, as it is aluminum finished to give the phone a sleek design and new colors such as gold and purple are also introduced through this handset. Details of specific new features and design follow in assisting you as to the need for these extra features and if the transition from v3 to v3i would be beneficial for you and your wireless networks.

When talking about design in reference to looks, the V3i has a more metallic look than the original V3.  Physical characteristics changed in the design of the new V3i as well.  The support of the Trans flash (Micro SD) card is not like some other phones where you insert it from the outside. The V3i memory is placed under the back cover which is both good and bad depending on the user. If you remove your memory card a lot to place it in a card reader or for other reasons, it is a hassle removing the back plate every time. 

Even though it can be a pain for some, at least you can remove the memory card without taking out the battery.  With color choices becoming a major factor in new design, the V3i can be found in silver, maroon, deep violet, and designers Dolce & Gabbana gold.

Unique Phone

Overall Rating:
4.6 out of 5
By: Michael Rivera on Saturday, September 22, 2007
From: Bronx, NY (United States)
Experience: 14 Months
Pros: Battery life on this phone is very efficient
Bluetooth compatibility is great as well.
Camera/videos are extremely clear
Big screen makes taking videos/pics very easy
64 MB microsd card is included with this phone (LOTS OF PICTURES/VIDEOS) (Adapter Included!!)
Cool Games (consume battery life after about 30 minutes with the games)
Digital Audio Player
Excellent Dolce & Gabbana Ringtones/Wallpapers
Came with a USB cable for data transfers.

Cons: May get scratched easily, I've had the phone for a little more than a year now and haven't dropped it yet so I wouldn't know.

May get stolen because this phone can catch anyone's eye

Voice Records can't be stored on the phone, only sent via message.

Camera still has the motorola setback (you click the wonderful picture and hit store, then you need to go four buttons down to actually store it)

Way too expensive: 350 dollars (but worth it)

Summary: On the whole, this is a very unique phone. The features may be similar to the regular RAZR, however the style/ringtones/clarity of use make this hot on the market. I would definitely recommend this phone

Its more comfortable to hold than normal RAZRs as well :-)

RAZR's EDGE

Overall Rating:
4.7 out of 5
By: Joseph Demastrie on Tuesday, October 10, 2006
From: West Springfield, MA (United States)
Experience: 30 Days
Pros: Great Look
Solid Design
Excellent Reception
Easy to Use

Cons: Trendy
Not a ton of Multimedia uses

Summary: My wife recently got the RAZR phone and I couldn't help, but compare it to my A900M. I find the two phones very comparable since they both fit the trendy super thin design fad.

The RAZR has a great design and is fun to use, great sound quality and signal. Unfortunately for a phone which is echoing the previous RAZR phone, there isn't much improvement. There is more multimedia capabilities, but they don't seem to go as fast as my A900, but that could be because Sprint is faster.
