Today, Motorola has quietly announced on its site the RAZR V3i, a new iTunes enabled mobile phone in the very popular RAZR line that was started about a year ago.

The iTunes feature is however an option as states the product details page:

Music capabilities dependent on operator and regional availability and support. iTunes is not available on all models in all regions. Verify whether or not the model will have iTunes or Motorola’s Digital Audio Music player with your operator at time of purchase.

Operators probably prefered adding their own online music store instead of Apple's and required Motorola to include iTunes as an option.

Mobile Gazette had predicted the release of this new phone late last week.
