The Italian carrier will be the first to show off the HSDPA RAZR.

It is more than obvious that in the last month, the Americans miss all the Motorola goodies wondering around the mobile market. The MAXX V6 has just been delivered to the people with the kangaroos and crocodiles, the KRZR will first be used by the people residing in Hong Kong and now, the last bad news for the US residents, the RAZR V3xx also misses the American shores and lands happily in the arms of TIM, the Telecom Italia mobile division. There is no case of heart attack for the last one because being an entry level handset in the Motorola 3G phone line-up, it shouldn't break many hearts by avoiding an US launch.

Anyhow, even if it isn't THE MAXX, this mobile phone also has lots of nice features to offer and will be able to fill the empty spot in the hearts of Italian people that miss a slim well balanced phone to carry them with ease in the 3G multimedia communication world.

The quad-band GSM/WCDMA V3xx that works on 900, 1800, 1900 and 2100 MHz networks is offering two-way video calling through a 1.3 megapixel camera with 8x zoom and video recording support, plus a VGA one, an integrated music player that comes with a Media Finder and plays MP3/AAC/AAC6/eAAC+ music files, J2ME capabilities, wireless A2DP/AVRCP Bluetooth technology and GPRS (class 10)/EDGE/HSPDA connectivity to get online wherever you might be. A pretty nice looking feature list, from my point of view, that will surely get some Italians craving for it.

The handset is available in the TIM stores all over Italy, it comes in Licorice Black and Burnt Orange colors, will cost you 299 Euros and will also get the happy future Motorola RAZR V3xx user a month of free Internet access and 300 minutes of free video calls.
