Motorola RAZR-V3i

User rating 3.4   Read reviews - Add review
The RAZR v3i is Motorola's update to the popular RAZR ultra-thin flip phone.   The new version comes equipped with updated styling and adds 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.  Other features include quad-band roaming, dual color displays, Bluetooth, and speakerphone.
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.
