Typical price: £250
What is it: The V3i with iTunes software, a burgundy case and a new, dedicated iTunes button
What we think: The iconic Razr with a great MP3 player, this is only let down by the 100-song cap

We like:
Dedicated iTunes key; slim form factor; battery-saving aeroplane mode
We don't like:
The 100-song cap on iTunes; the lack of effort in converting the V3im into a more music-oriented phone
CNET UK judgement:
Distancing itself from the terrible Rokr E1, the V3i is a good-looking phone with very usable music software. Sadly, the 100-song cap has prevented it from being a great mobile phone/MP3 player solution. We're also disappointed that the only external changes from the V3i are the burgundy casing and dedicated iTunes key
Full review:
The Motorola Razr V3im is the Razr V3i with iTunes on it. So what does the m edition give you that the old Razr didn't? The most obvious differences are that the handset is the colour burgundy and there's a dedicated iTunes button in place of the messaging key. The iTunes key lets you access Apple's music application without having to go through the phone's menu, which is useful if you want to listen to your tunes without having to fiddle around too much.

12 May 2006 in Digital Living
Motorola returns once more to the iconic Razr, dresses it in metallic burgundy and adds a phone-sized edition of Apple's iTunes music software -- but is it still the sharpest phone on the street, or has familiarity dulled its appeal?
