After much hemming and hawing the past few months -- including a couple of false starts -- you might like to know Cingular's finally freaking released the RAZR V3i. Yeah, seriously, it's on their site now, we're not even joking around. It'll cost you $250 after 2 year agreement and $50 mail-in rebate, but if for whatever reason you're still super into this phone and don't feel like waiting around for Moto's new lineup (or the iPhone, har har), then by all means, get your iTunes on, pallies.[Thanks to everyone who sent this in]
I'd be quite interested in this, but that's too expensive for me (and I'm a Treo owner and used to smartphone prices). Not enough functionality to justify that price tag.
Waste-O-Money! Get urself a Sony Ericsson w810i and live a longer, happier life.
In Mexico it came out about a two months ago. I got one. iTunes kinda sucks. The volume is way to low, and to up-load the songs from iTunes it takes around 20 min. for 100 songs
wah???? you can buy this phone cheaper on myworldphone.com???? what a rip... then again i bought mine for 500 the day it came out...
The Ericsson w810i is cool and all, but no flip :| any suggestions for a good camera/mp3 player that flips?
Why buy this one when you can get an unlocked one with iTunes for the same price, and not be locked into a two year contract agreement. They waited to long on this one the boat for this phone sailed long ago everyother country seemed to be on it but the US.
You can get this phone from Europe for about $350 without signing any contract. Just pop in you SIM and off you go.
Don't waste your $250.
try the v3x, if you get 1900 in your area its a great phone for mp3 and camera uses
Why would anyone buy this? why not wait for the uglier KRZR?
Yayyy!!! I had this phone roughly 18 months ago .....
whoever buys it from cingular is a fool. the unlocked version costs
Iv had it foe 6 monts now. Its a good phone but the song limit stinks.
Mine has a dedicated iTunes butotn. Alot better then the useless mail button this one has.
...yeah, unlocked, it's $200.
or pay cingular $300 and get a free 2-year contract! what a deal!
I got a Sony Ericsson w810i and a 2gb memory card, the Sandisk Pro Duo cards are now $56.99
This gives you no limit on your capacity unlike iTunes. Load it up with mp3's, video's, pic's and all the pRon that makes you happy.
Flip phones are lame, the candy-bar design of the W810i with a good screen protector and skin will save you in the long run.
So what you get are on the Sony Ericsson:
a really cool cell-phone
2 mega pixel digital camera
mp3 player with external speaker(take notice Apple iPod)
video-movie recorder & player
What you get on the Motorola:
a really crappy cell phone
a really crappy camera 1.3 mp
100 song limit iTunes
I've got a v3i, unlocked. Good phone; if itunes bothers you so much, install motorola's DAP and run that instead.
Where are people buying the phone unlocked for $200? Are they importing them from Israel via eBay?
"So what you get are on the Sony Ericsson..."
Is an ugly ass brick. You won't get no pussy whipping that thing out. Meanwhile the RAZR V3i is a pussy magnet. Go ahead and try to break down all those cool features like a nerd while the broad is walking away.
Also, there are 2 alternatives to iTunes for this phone: Sounds, which is already on the phone, and DAP, which is easily downloadable. Both have only the size of the memory card as a song limit.
great phone
I got one off eBay, unlocked, with iTunes, for $200.
And no, no scam, it's in my hands.
