Moto debuts new music-centric V3m alongside colorful V3i RAZRs

We can hardly blame Motorola for milking their incredibly successful RAZR line for all it's worth, and that sure seems to be their plan at CTIA. Today Moto is busting out a brand new musicphone RAZR titled the V3m, which sounds to be merely a V3i plus stereo Bluetooth, with a microSD slot for up to 1GB of storage, and a 1.3 megapixel camera. We're not sure if the phone features iTunes playback or not, but we can't say we'd miss it anyways. The CDMA phone is accompanied by another in the W315, which sounds to be a no-frills clamshell, though we're low on deets and without a pic. Motorola is also bringing out some new spring colors for the RAZR V3i (pictured), including dark blue, maroon and violet. We'll have hands-on shots of these before long, so just sit tight.

Am I the only one that was over this phone before it was even released? It may be thin but it's butt ugly, has no real resounding features, clumsy UI and a whole lot of hype. I just don't get it, and i'm so sick of hearing about this phones various reincarntions. "Wow! It's another color! I'd better by 7!" responds the general public.

Can someone fill me in? I'm stumped.

Dunno about everyone else, but those are three beautiful colors.

I don't know if it was their intention to put them on shelves before today, but I have already seen the Dark Blue Model at a Cingular booth at my local mall.

Maybe they accidentally shipped some early...oops!

Silver, Black, Pewter, Magenta, Pink, Light Blue, Dark Blue, Maroon, Violet...am I missing any?

I know it's not cool to not bitch about something thats popular but I love my Razr...

man that sucks...just got my razr last month and they already roll out a way better version, does the M thing actually glow and the dark blue one looks sexy as hell!!!

From Moto's Website:

� iTunes� music software or Motorola�s Digital Audio Music Player with mini-USB stereo headset

CDMA ? So Verizon? No?

Stereo Bluetooth! GREAT!

That's really a great improvement.

I WANT ONE!

I currently own a ROKR and I really like the iTunes interface... would be nice to have iTunes on this RAZR as well.

I wonder what will happen... will the Mac iPhone / Motorola iTunes phone win? Or will SonyEricsson win with their gorgeous Walkman phones? (equiped with those horrible memorysticks)

I need to know, if the sets are available in bangladesh? I need the blue one. Anyone please reply.

#1 I couldnt agree more (apart from the ugly part). just like to highlight once again just hoe much the UI sucks and the lack of features.

I do however understand why it is a popular phone; people who care less about features, and more about fashion. As a fashion phone its great, but apart from that, it sucks.

just let me get the one maria chooses...grrr!

[big daddy kane @ Apr 12th 2006 4:57PM]

does any body know how much were talking about on these buggers?

[Jeremy @ Apr 29th 2006 7:33PM]

hey all, it will be in contract for about the same as when the RAZR V3 came out. plus theres one color out right now (if you buy it unlocked).....and yes that means there out but not out here. i have a Silver Quartz Motorola Razr V3i WITH iTunes and it works great. find them on ebay, where i got mine....only for SIM people though.

anyone have preview pics of the gps navigation system like it says here http://www.cellphonestalk.com/cellphonereviews/motorola/v3m/intro.html

GPS (Global Positioning Systems) and location based services built in. With these services, the V3M will inform you of any nearby gas stations, restaurants, tourist spots, etc in proportion to your current location.
