Motorola RAZR V3i iTunes phone: Features and images

The Motorola RAZR V3i with iTunes compatiblity is coming soon; bye-bye ROKR!

9 Nov, 2005: I have a Motorola RAZR V3. Or the Motorazr V3 has me. By the balls. I am sure the RAZR V3i will follow in the paths of its predecessor.

Let me explain. There is, still, no better looking phone than the Motorola RAZR. Admit it, ye Nokia lovers. I count myself among them anyway. I was in love with the phone for its looks and looks alone - my love definitely wasn't blind. But it sure was deaf and dumb. There is nothing to the phone other than its looks - buying it in 2005 was a mistake. Buying it in 2004, on the other hand, would have been a financial implosion, what with its price then.

This Motorola RAZR V3, dear, was a phone with skin deep beauty and a kludge in every other way.

Then came the much rumoured and much hyped Motorola iTunes ROKR. That wa a phone that could play songs and synchronise with iTunes on your Mac or PC. Brilliant, except for the fact that for whatever reasons, it would store only 100 songs (artificially restricted by Apple and Motorola) and it looked like a brick - definitely circa 1990.

And now we hear that the Motorola RAZR V3i is here. Or will be. Soon. What surprises are Motorola going to throw in our faces then? Let's see what news we have so far.

For one, the RAZR V3i looks almost exactly the same as the RAZR V3. That is a good thing. About the only thing right about the RAZR are its looks, and better keep that if you don't want the media and the market laughing at you. Good job, ZANDR!

Two, the RAZR V3i has iTunes. It's optional, though. We shal keep our discussion limited to the iTunes RAZR. That means that you can use your RAZR V3i the same way you use a normal iPod.

My Motorola RAZR has a pathetic .3 megapixels digital camera. The new RAZR V3i will have a less pathetic 1.3 megapixels camera. pathetic, because this is 2005-end, and one does not really want to see stuff which was available 2 years back in phones. Not when you have something as stylish as a RAZR.

There will be 12 MB memory for the Motorola iTunes RAZR V3i. Not goo either - last years Nokia 6600, which costs 60 % of the V3 costs, has 64 MB. So there. Expandable yes, but not good enough.

Will keep you guys updated on the price, features, memory and other specifications of the Motorola RZR V3i iTunes phone as soon as we get to know more.
