Verizon Wireless has quietly introduced the Motorola RAZR V3m, a minor update to the popular RAZR V3c. The RAZR V3m adds two features to the V3c, a memory card slot and music player (m = music).
Features of the handset include:
Verizon Wireless is charging $149.99 for the Motorola RAZR V3m. The V3c is currently still carried, selling for $99.99.
They include software that converts MP3s to WMA files, so if you have a Windows computer you can get your music onto the phone. I still think it's lame and they should support multiple formats.
mp3s must first be converted to wma format in order to upload songs to your razr. one of the major drawbacks is that you cant make your own wma's into ringtones...only VCast tunes can be used for ring tones.
heres a link to a tutorial that i successfully used to upload my own mp3s to my V3m.

do you have to buy any additional equipment to upload songs from the computer to the razr v3m?
(usb cord or something?) if so, how much do they cost?
just a tip: without a memory card, your razr doesn't have much space to store a significant amount of music anyway (probably less than one CD's worth). with a media card (and a card reader) it's simple to transfer data (including songs) to your phone from your computer. that's what I did, and it worked fine.
I put the wma's in the music directory on the card. worked no problem.
Don't put the files in sub directories off of the music directory, it doesn't recognize them there.
Is there any software that enables my MP3s to be converted to WMAs and then used as ringtones on my RAZR V3m, without buying through V Cast?
Called verizon and found out that the v3m will not play mp3s. Only the music through their Vcast are allowed.
