Good news, music fans: the Motorola Razr V3i has arrived at Cingular Wireless at long last. We had a few false starts over the last month with the phone's debut being postponed just days before its official launch, but now it's on sale for $299 or $249 with service. As promised, support for Apple iTunes is onboard along with a 1.3-megapixel camera, a speakerphone, a TransFlash card slot, voice recording and dialing, multiple messaging and e-mail options, and quadband world phone support. And of course, it's encased in the slim Razr form factor. Silver seems to be the only color available now, but more options may follow.

Cingular also introduced the Samsung SGH-C417. Behind an unassuming design is a VGA camera, Bluetooth, a speakerphone, and quadband world phone support. The C417 is $79 or $49 with service.
