Cingular Wireless today began to exclusively offer the Motorola RAZR V3 mobile phone, the hype for the V3 started several months ago when Motorola first unveiled it (more pics here). The V3 will play MPEG 4 video; connect to Bluetooth devices; capture digital images and video, all while connected to any GSM network in the world.

The best part about it is all these features are packed into an ultra-slim 13.9mm clamshell design. The V3 is available right now from Cingular and Amazon.

The Wait is Over: New Motorola RAZR V3 Now Available Exclusively at Cingular Wireless

Ultra-thin mobile phone delivers technological excellence with awe-inspiring style

Today Motorola, Inc. and Cingular Wireless announce the exclusive availability of the Motorola RAZR V3. Delivering cutting-edge design and advanced technology, the Motorola RAZR V3 brings an elegant new twist on the classic flip phone to Cingular Wireless customers nationwide.

Created with aluminum, magnesium nickel-plated copper alloy and chemically-hardened glass, the durable Motorola RAZR V3 captures attention for its beautiful form. Space-saving engineering is leveraged to deliver the latest in mobile technology, including MPEG 4 video playback, Bluetooth® wireless technology, digital camera with zoom and an internal quad-band antenna for global communications.

Ryan Seacrest, the popular host of “American Idol,” helped unveil the Cingular-exclusive Motorola RAZR V3 at a Cingular store in Los Angeles.

The Motorola RAZR V3 launch coincides with the availability of the “Cingular Experience” in all Cingular stores. Just three weeks after joining forces to become the biggest wireless carrier in the U.S., Cingular Wireless and AT&T Wireless have — overnight — truly become one company by converting more than 1,000 AT&T Wireless company-owned stores into Cingular Wireless stores. Another approximately 10,500 agent locations will be converted in the coming months.

Pricing and Availability

The Motorola RAZR V3 is available now for $499.99 with a two-year contract at all Cingular retail and online locations.
