The next version of Motorola’s stylish RAZR phone, the RAZR V3i, will come equipped with Apple’s iTunes software.
The V3i is the second Moto phone to carry iTunes. Like its predecessor, the ROKR (dubbed the CROCKR because of its limitations), it will likely be limited to 100 songs maximum.
The RAZR is “the first choice for a select group of fashion elite and Hollywood ‘it’ girls,” according to the Moto press release. That may be, but the Register isn’t impressed:
If Apple and Motorola are serious about phones as a digital music player, they need to shape up fast. Thanks to a single-chip design, Nokia is able to push today’s high-end Symbian smartphones down into the midrange next year, and features like WiFi are standard across next year’s N series and E series models. More importantly, Nokia is determined to allow users to share their songs and playlists over a personal area network connection using WiFi or Bluetooth – something that Apple is extremely reluctant to do. As the cheeky graphic nicely illustrates.
PS: Be sure to check the Register’s graphic.

“Yes the phone, wi-fi and bluetooth are still fucking missing”
Only a geek would write that. Most people don’t use bluetooth etc and don’t care about it.
I use bluetooth. I care about it.
[sarcasm]I wonder why a website about technology would make such a statement as that?[/sarcasm]
I use it, salling clicker is great, but you go into any phone shop in the UK and it’s pretty doubtful most of the customers are going ‘oh oh wifi bluetooth’ It’s more I being the geek try to explain it and get nods and smiles and ‘so you can send text messages then?’
hello, i have a site about music, can i place a link to your wesite from mine?
