Motorola RAZR V3 facts for kids

The Motorola RAZR V3 was a very popular and stylish mobile phone that could fold in half, like a clamshell. It was designed and made by Motorola. When it first came out, it was seen as a "fashion phone" because of its cool, thin design.

In 2005, the RAZR V3 became available to everyone at a medium price, and it quickly became one of the best-selling phones ever. It was so famous that in 2005, PC World magazine even called it one of the "50 Greatest Gadgets of the Past 50 Years."

A newer version, the RAZR 2, was shown in 2007. It had a bigger screen and was easier to use.

The pink RAZR V3 first came out in October 2005. By June 2006, it was a very popular choice. In the United States, T-Mobile sold a version called "RAZR V3 Magenta" because magenta is T-Mobile's special color.

After the original RAZR V3, Motorola released the RAZR V3i. This newer phone had some improvements. It came with a better camera (1.23 megapixels) that could zoom in 8 times. It also had better screens and allowed people to add memory cards to store more photos and music. The V3i also included the iTunes music player, which could hold 50 or 100 songs, depending on where the phone was made.

The Motorola RAZR V3i was available on most phone networks around the world between 2005 and 2006.

Dolce & Gabbana Gold V3i

On December 8, 2005, Motorola teamed up with the famous Italian fashion company Dolce & Gabbana to create a special gold version of the RAZR V3i. Only 1,000 of these very limited edition phones were made at first.

Later, on June 1, 2006, Motorola and Dolce & Gabbana sold this special phone again. This time, it came with extra accessories like a D&G leather holder and Bluetooth headphones. It was sold in big Motorola stores and some D&G shops.

(PRODUCT)RED Red V3i

A special red version of the RAZR V3i was sold to support the (PRODUCT)RED charity. A part of the money from each phone sold went to this charity to help fight AIDS in Africa.

RAZR V3r & V3t

The RAZR V3r and RAZR V3t were slightly different versions of the RAZR V3i. Instead of having the iTunes music player, they used Motorola's own Digital Audio Player (DAP). This player had no song limit, but it took longer to load songs and used more battery power.
