As mentioned earlier, Cingular rolled out the Motorola Razr V3 [Note: the Cingular site doesn't seem to be compatible with Firefox. Using IE got me further along but I still got page display errors. Perhaps this is why, when I typed in my ZIP code, the site said I was located on Kaua'i. Which is not a bad place to be, but I am actually on O'ahu.] yesterday. But not only is it being sold at the ridiculous price of $499, the price is actually discounted by $100 from the even more ridiculous list price of $599!
But wait. There's more. From what I understand, the price is only good until the end of December. If true, what the price will be in January is unclear.
But wait. There's even more. If pricing at Motorola wasn't a bad enough problem, this article from Engadget says there may be problems with quality control in four other Motorola models. With that kind of record, one has to wonder what problems may be lurking in the V3.
High prices and reported low quality. Is it any wonder that Motorola is sliding down towards third place?
