Motorola will be releasing the new version of the RAZR on June 4th. Think of it as a V3i with a microSD slot (up to 1GB). The handset is already on its way to stores everywhere, courtesy of Verizon. Speaking of Verizon, they'll be offering a music download service, as well as the same onboard music player from the V3i. Pricing is steep - $329.99 for retail! Cheaper if you go through the carrier. If you haven't got that kind of money to toss around, I'm sure you'll be able to find an unlocked one on eBay very soon.

Hopefully this newest edition will address some of the chief concerns of RAZR users, such as dust sticking under the screen, weak hinges, shorting speakerphone, and various others. Motorola is a fine cellular company and I have no doubt it will be a great phone, but it seems a little too close to the V3i to warrant another $129.99. If anyone has managed to get one of the few that are out at Best Buy, let us know how they handle.
