Motorola Purple MOTORAZR V3i

Looks like purple is the new black, or is it the new pink? Whichever way, Motorola has put out a MOTORAZR V3i in striking mauve livery just in time Mother’s Day in the US (May 13 in case you were wondering). And what mother doesn’t want a bright purple phone?

The handset will be available exclusively through Motorola’s online store without contract for a tidy $239.99 – although bag two at the same time (one phone is never enough) and you’ll get a 20 percent discount. There’s no word on UK availability just yet.

The MOTORAZR V3i is quad band with Bluetooth for wireless transfers. It has a large internal colour display and integrated 1.23 megapixel camera. More from Motorola’s store.
