Lack of storage options is no longer an issue because right underneath the battery cover of the new V3i is a Transflash memory expansion slot, which together with a piece of bundled Transflash memory card of 256MB (maximum of up to 512MB) capacity means instant storage of more than 60 MP3 files. The addition of Transflash for more storage is also useful considering that resolution of the onboard camera has been bumped up from VGA (640 x 480 pixels) to 1.23 megapixels (1280 x 960 pixels), which means you can now capture more detailed candid shots than the older RAZR V3. Between the two transfer modes of either USB or direct reading off the Transflash memory card, the latter was preferred because of its speedier data transfer speed. USB transfer was simply too slow for copying pictures and songs in and out of the V3i.

Note: A spokesperson for Cingular has confirmed that the carrier has received a limited shipment of RAZRs to replace the potentially defective stock pulled last week. The company has not received enough handsets to restock every store, however it has been confirmed that stores in New York City and other major metro areas are receiving very limited shipments of replacements. Motorola has kept its word and started replacing the RAZRs within days, as promised, but many analysts feel the shortage resulting from last week's issues could leave stores in short supply until April.
