RAZR V3 plays MP3 audio files?

Bruce,

Thanks for the info. At this point I may be willing to spend
the extra $ for the v3x, but I'm a little hesitant to buy a grey
market phone that may not have USA warranty support. I
like the idea of being able to use a transflash device to add
memory capability though. Most of the other features (like
video editing) I would most likely never use.

Perry

Just to be clear, my comments were about the v3i which is different from
the v3x. The x is a bit bigger and the i is identical in size to the v3.

The answer is realistically no. It will play MP3 ringtones, although it
will sound like an AM radio, at best. Also, there are no controls for
playing MP3s other than cycling through them as ringtones, and you can't
play them through headphones, at least not stereo or hifi. It's a phone,
with a low-rez camera built in, plain and simple.

If you were looking for a decent mp3 capable phone, try the E815. It
has an expandable transflash slot, free stereo earbuds that double as a
handsfree kit, and even has playlist controls.

Just like the v3i.

I use the mobile phone tools software with a usb cable. You can get both on
eBay fairly cheap.
