The successor to the handset that started the slim clamshell craze goes on sale; the RAZR V3x boasts a 2 Megapixel camera, 3G and an audio player complete with microSD expansion.

Announced last year in October alongside the E1070 and E770v, sales of the Motorola RAZR V3x clamshell have now begun. Counterpart to the CDMA-based RAZR V3c and the iTunes-equipped RAZR V3i, the handset is arguably the most advanced RAZR edition of all, sporting 3G, video calling and a range of multimedia functions in a package no larger than its predecessor.

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 900/1800/1900 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', 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.

Now shipping from mobile network operator Vodafone in Europe, the RAZR V3x sells in the €450 EUR range.
