I'm pretty sure that the inventor of mobile phones would never have imagined that one day his creation would actually become a fashion accessory. However, that is exactly what happened when Motorola launched the famous V3 flip phone, becoming the new “it” thing to have and selling millions in the process. I owned the older V3 and I must say, today I can finally admit that it was a horrible mobile phone, even for its days. The camera was underwhelming, the features were lacking and the software was slightly clunky, leaving a hollow feel to the phone. You were paying for the styling only, which is alright when it looks absolutely outstanding compared to other handsets, but nowadays, the competition has caught up and Motorola phones aren’t the only fashion accessories around (for example, LG Chocolate is the new “it” phone). So finally, Motorola decided to give some substance to the V3 and thus, the V3i was born, hoping to remedy all the problems of its older brother.
