Vodafone's Exclusive Motorola V1100

The handset will offer HSPDA 3G broadband for faster downlink data transfer speeds.

Meet the newest member of the Motorola RAZR-like mobile phone: the V1100, which has been launched exclusively for Vodafone's customers. But this one, as its other two siblings, the RAZR XX and the RAZR MAXX, comes with a twist: it delivers HSPDA (high-speed downlink packet access 3G broadband),
allowing data transfer speeds of 1.8 Mbit/s or 3.6 Mbit/s in downlink, depending on your carrier's offer.

Actually, the V1100 is very similar to its brother, the RAZR XX, and it keeps the same updated and streamlined V3i design, plus the 1.3 megapixel camera (a little old fashioned these days in my opinion, especially when used on a 3G enabled device).

The feature list provided by Motorola at its launch isn't that detailed, following their long-lasting release policy of not disclosing too much info about their new devices, therefore, here is what I got until now: the V1100 will support GSM and UMTS networks, data transfers through GPRS, UMTS and HSPDA, will be Bluetooth enabled, will have a 1.3 megapixel digital camera (as I have mentioned above), probably a 240x320 pixels resolution display, and some Vodafone type mobile services as MobileTV and the Vodafone Radio DJ.

I can't tell you yet how big will the handset be, how much it will weigh, or even how long you will be able to talk with it until the battery dies, but I can tell you two things for sure. The first is that the V1100 will be launched in mobile stores by Christmas, and the second is that there will be other, and better, 3G phones than this, even RAZR ones (to give you a "hint" the name is RAZR MAXX), and if Vodafone isn't planning to offer its customers some kind of kill deal, the V1100 will remain on the stores shelves watching MAXX going at his new home with its new friend(s).
