Replacement parts
Either call Motorola at 1-866-BUY-MOTO or go to the
Cellular Nationwide Network.
Headset adapter
To put it bluntly, the headphones that come with the V3i are junk. If
you truly want to enjoy listening to music on your phone then you owe it to
yourself to buy the Mini-USB (EMU) to 3.5mm adapter. This cable can be
purchased directly from Cingular at
this link.
Scroll down the page a way and you will see it. It sells for
$19.99. This cable makes all the difference in the world. I have
a set of Bose Quiet Comfort 2 headphones and it makes my V3i sound as good as
my iPod.
Cases for the V3i
You might want to be careful ordering a case online to make sure it really is
made for the V3i and not just a generic V3 case. There is a difference.
Some places to do searches at are Amazon.com,
Bargain Cells.com and Shopping.com.
Here's a couple I found. I have a couple of the cases below and they
work just fine. Just click the image of the one you like and you'll be
taken to the product page for it at the store.
Dual phone/battery charger
Since I like having spare batteries, I found this little gadget that will charge
both the V3/V3c/V3i and a second battery at the same time. I like that
it also has an LCD that tells you the charging status of both batteries at the
same time.
Tiger Direct has it.
Screen protectors
Yes a few people do. The ones I hear the most raves about are by a
company called Martin Fields.
You can get them here. Clear Touch also
sells a similar product here. Clarivue
makes yet another type here.
Use the V3i as a Bluetooth remote control for your Mac
How would you like to use your V3i (or many other phones) to control the Front
Row program on your Mac? The Salling Clicker controls iTunes, Keynote,
PowerPoint, EyeTV, DVD Player, VLC, and more. It is ultra-extensible via
AppleScript. It also supports wi-fi connectivity and works with PCs as
well. The manufacturer offers a free 30 click trial version of the
program and it costs $23.95 for the full version. You can get the
program here.
