Motorola RAZR-V3i Review - Entertainment, Internet, Storage, & Connectivity
 The Motorola V3i has built in Mp3/ MPEG4 player. Unlike the V3 RAZR which only supported .3gp, the V3i also supports MPEG4 videos. Also the built in iTunes is excellent for entertainment. The iTunes support is like having an Ipod built in your phone!! The iTunes support is excellent when syncing because it makes it a lot easier to transfer songs as opposed to using Motorola phone tools. Also the V3i has built in Java, so you can play all the java mobile games and use small Java apps too.
The V3i’s internet is the same as the V3. It supports WAP 2.0 and Xhtml. The V3i does not have built in WIFI or EDGE. In my opinion, if Motorola was making all these upgrades, they should have added faster internet capabilities. If internet connection plays a large part in your decision making process, this over sight my Motorola could end up being a major turnoff.
The V3i has built in 10 Mb of shared memory. It would not be ideal for this phone to have support for iTunes and have only 10mb of memory, so Motorola added a Micro SD (AKA Trans-flash) card slot to it as well. Although you get a Micro SD card included with this phone, the size of the card varies depending on where you buy it from. The version I have reviewed only comes with a 64mb card, but the V3i can support up to 512 Mb of external memory.
The Motorola V3i does have built in Bluetooth version 1.2 which like most Motorola phones is excellent for syncing, doing file transfers, and connecting to Bluetooth headsets or other phones. Although the V3i has Bluetooth it still does not have infrared, which would be a great upgrade to add to the V3i.
