Motorola unveils new handsets at CTIA

Reuben Lee | Apr 04, 2006

The world's second-largest mobile maker has announced new additions to its RAZR handset family at this week’s CTIA (Cellular Telecommunications & Internet Association) trade show in Las Vegas. Among them are three new color offerings (dark blue, maroon and violet) for the V3i and a CDMA version of the V3i called V3m. The company also showcased a new entry-level phone known as the W315.

Motorola also announced a collaboration with Skype for its Talk & Tunes Wireless Internet Calling Kit. This new kit makes use of Bluetooth to allow Skype users to wirelessly listen to music and manage calls over the Internet from a PC. The V3i color handsets are expected in the second quarter of 2006, while the V3m and W315 will start shipping in Q3, according to a Motorola press release.

Well, after using the V3x, the range for the bluetooth does not go very far. At most 4 - 5 meters. Also the transmission rate is less than desired about 16-17 kbytes per sec. SE K700i can transmit up to 55 kbytes per sec. So, how far can a user be away from his PC? Upcoming Nokia is allowing user to use the wireless broadband to make a telephone call. Why does motorola want to use bluetooth whereby the distance is so much shorter than the wireless G?
