A V1150 by any other name: Motorola's super-slim RAZR successor with 3G support previously only slated for European markets prepares for a US launch as the RAZR V3x.

Having unveiled the 3G version to its vastly popular RAZR handset at the 3GSM World Congress in Cannes in February, Motorola is now preparing to launch one of the world's smallest 3G handset in the US under the RAZR V3x moniker. Mirroring the specifications of the V1150 unveiled in February, the handset is due out in the fourth quarter and will support GSM networks in the US as provided by Cingular Wireless, T-Mobile and others.

With its trademark slim housing, the RAZR V3x shares most of the features of the RAZR V3 such as its clamshell form factor, visual styling, dual screens and more. What sets the handset apart from its predecessor is the inclusion of a front-mounted 0.3 Megapixel camera to allow for 3G video calls, whilst the back.mounted camera has been upgraded from 1.3 to 2 Megapixels.

The tri-band GSM 850/1800/1900 MHz handset also supports Bluetooth and offers memory expansion courtesy of its microSD expansion slot for which cards are available in sizes up to 512 MB. This might come in handy, as the RAZR V3X is capable of recording video and in addition to taking still shots and also plays music with support for a number of formats including AAC+, MPEG4, WMV, MP3 and Real Video/Audio.

Also equipped with what Motorola refers to as an 'enhanced graphics processor' for improved 3D performance with J2ME games, the handset boasts a WAP 2.0 microbrowser, support for over-the-air synchronization via SyncML and speaker-independent voice recognition. Additionally, Motorola has included its new SCREEN3 software which provides rapid access to news, sports, entertainment and other content directly from the home screen of the handset.

Due out in the fourth quarter of 2005, Motorola did not disclose information concerning the pricing of the the RAZR V3x or which carrier would carry the handset at launch.
