I have a question that perhaps Jake can help out with. The last selection on the phones site is listed as [b15b19e997c]RAZR V3i - Cingular Silver[/b15b19e997c]. As of this posting Cingular has not yet released the [b15b19e997c]V3i[/b15b19e997c], which has iTunes integrated. Also, the picture listed with that selection is that of the [b15b19e997c]V3[/b15b19e997c]. Jake, can you please confirm which model is being offered, and if it is unlocked? Thanks!

If xbox360s.freepay is any guide, I'm sure the Cingular V3i will be out in nine months time.

The reason I asked is because there is no Cingular V3i at the moment.

I'm still waiting to see if this question has been answered. My account has been approved and I am ready to place my order. I do not however want to get the original V3.

Here is a response I received from customer service back in April.

Thanks for contacting FreePay Customer Service. The Cingular Razr V3i is indeed enabled with iTunes and MP3 ringtones. It also comes available with a 1.3 megapixel digital camera, video capabilities, AOL instant messaging, speakerphone, internet and Bluetooth technology. Please feel free to contact us if you have any additional questions or concerns. Sincerely, The FreePay Customer Service Team[/i565500e1f6]

I don't understand how they can say they have the Cingular V3i when it has yet to be released. Is this perhaps just a pre-order? Any input would be appreciated.

Well ive been waiting for a sony vaio for over 2 months now. So sure once the phone is released freepay will backorder ti and let you stew for a couple months till they ship you one.

I sent a support ticket in asking this same exact question.

And Freepay can have the phones before they're carried by US service providers because the phones' release occurs before, and independently of, a service provider's decision to support it.

I understand that the V3i has been out for quite some time, but it is labeled as "Cingular V3i" on the freepay site. I went ahead and placed the order today, so I will let everyone know when it arrives )

I have also opened another support ticket to see if I get a better response.
