Well by way of an update I've recently upgraded to a T630 and it works flawlessly with my PowerBook.

I wish - but I don't think it is ever going to happen... especially after recent announcements of Motorola and Apple.
Anyone using a Motorola v3 RAZR and care to share their experiences / thoughts / opinion?
I still think its a great looking phone and almost bought one today.

I think we can expect to see the equivalent of an iPod Shuffle memory size in a few of the new Moto phones but with a full size iPod Photo colour screen...maybe even all the features of the iPod Photo... Hey they might even put a 5 GB micro drive in their largest model and toss in a 2 megapixel camera...

With current technology, that would be a big phone
It's not like the iPod minis are hollow devices, they are pact. If you were to add a 2mp camera, and the needed parts to make it a decent cell phone with things like bluetooth, I think you'd be looking at something a bit larger than the current iPod, which is too big for a phone (imho).
Someday though

You think...well check these Motos out! Imagine what they have planned for later this year!

Lol, I just started a thread about this in the software forum as I was overjoyed by setting up my K700i with Bluetooth. It allows you to completely remote control your Mac from your phone.
Using that Salling Remote you can install plugins on the k700i which allow great navigation for iTunes and Keynote. I'll have to buy Airport Express with iTunes now, I always said it lacked a decent remote control solution.

Mmmm one is windows based... and the other just seemed ugly.
I did read rumours of different models similiar to the RAZR but can't find anything about them>?!?!?!
sigh
maybe I should just bite the bullet and buy a RAZR or stop looking for 6 months... but they do look cool!

Well with Palm dumping OSX, so its Pocket PC (phone) or Symbian.
Both synch well, although Pocket PC requires third party to really excel.
As for RAZR...ok...this is a great place to find out about phones http://cellphones.engadget.com/

LOL!
Well if I hadn't been stuffed around my our evil main Telco this week - I would have had a V3!
Three different Telstra shops - kept giving me wrong information - promised to ring me back - promised to source a Premium Kit (with the bluetooth headset) and alas... nada!
Confusion reigns! Don't they actually WANT to seel phones? Different shops telling me different information, other shops changing their minds about that I can and can't buy? or what I should or shouldn't buy??!?!?!
sigh
Love the idea of some of the new Moto / Apple ideas... so I'm now tempted to wait a bit to see what comes out in the next few months (hopefully).
Do like the idea of an improved RAZR V3 - with better UI - which I'm hoping Apple will help them with. Fingers crossed.
Their are a variety of new RAZR like designs coming out.
The black RAZR V3 which is a (flat) black RAZR V3. Nothing new and out any day now.
The PEBL V6 a rounded flip phone (out Q3, probably Q4 or Q1 next year).
The SLVR V8 a candybar version of the RAZR V3 (out Q3).
The RAZRberry a ultra thin smart phone based on the MPx (out probably Q1 next year).
An actual upgraded RAZR V3 is unlikely.
The actual iTunes phone (ROKR) will not be out for some time and is held under strict security.
I have a RAZR V3 and I like it, but all I need and use it for is as a phone. i.e. no bluetooth syncing via iSync (can use OnSync for contacts only, or USB iSync), no Sailing Clicker.
However pairing it as a bluetooth device works fine for pictures, audio, modem use.

I just switched from rogers, traded in my old samsung x426, and was able to get a motorola v710 from telus. It was only 149.99 if you sign up for a 3 year contract, and switch from rogers. You also get a year free. Not a bad deal.
i like the phone alot but havent tried out bluetooth yet.
