At the design front alone, it's a masterpiece. Copies and replicas have been created with impunity but none could repeat the mind boggling success that V3i managed.

A 1.23 megapixel camera is integrated in the Motorola V3i that clicks reasonably good pictures and records good quality videos.

Its music player keeps you entertained all the time, whereas the expandable memory card stores approximately 150 tracks of your choice. Additionally, the phone features the iTunes software, but the lack of an equalizer is disappointing. Apart from that, the airplane mode lets you use the music player even on an aircraft.

The V3i by Motorola also supports full Bluetooth wireless connectivity, Java games, MP3 ringtones, quad-band capability for global roaming and an integrated speakerphone. The 262k colour TFT screen with a high resolution of 176 x 200 pixels is wide and impressive. Also, with the standby time of 200 - 310 hours, the battery life is very good.

The 12MB of built-in memory is insufficient but the microSD card slot ensures that it's expandable. The works with GSM frequencies throughout the world, which is the most useful feature for globe trotters. The handset is one of the slimmest but is packed with a glut of high-tech features, leaving the users and onlookers absolutely amazed and surprised.
