Storage
 The
Ve comes packed with a generous 60 MB of internal memory plus the option
of 2 GB removable microSD memory. However, access to the microSD card requires
removing the back cover.
Connectivity
Offering a wireless range of approximately 30 feet (10 meters), the Ve
supports multiple Bluetooth profiles including A2DP (Advanced Audio Distribution
Profile), Headset (HSP), Handsfree (HFP), Dial-Up Networking (DUN), Serial
Port (SPP), and Object Push (OPP) profiles.
Headset and Handsfree profiles allow users to wirelessly connect a headset
or handsfree car kit to the Ve, while the Dial-Up Networking profile (DUN)
lets consumers obtain a dial-up connection for a connected laptop via the
mobile phone. The Object Push (OPP) profile provides wireless transfer of
simple objects, such as images or virtual business cards. And lastly, and
probably the most interesting, A2DP (Advanced Audio Distribution Profile)
streams stereo music to A2DP-compatible headphones; so music listeners can
walk around and listen to music without wires.
Conclusion
The Motorola RAZR MAXX Ve combines sleek style with 3G connectivity to
deliver Verizon's VCAST music, videos and applications as well as Mobile
Web 2.0 for emailing. Adding convenience through design, touch-sensitive
music control buttons on the outside of the clamshell transform the Ve into
an MP3 player when it's closed.
As loaded as the Ve comes with tools for consuming multimedia, its 2.0-megapixel
still and video camera (with flash) will make multimedia wizards out of
Ve owners interested in creating video emails and narrated photos.
Good transmission and reception make the Ve both funcional as well as
fashionable, while its crisp screens brighten the entire room.
However, in comparison to the LG VX8700, Verizon's less expensive phone
with many of the same features, the Ve doesn't offer much more for the extra
cost. In a side-by-side comparison, what the Ve provides is RAZR design
and cachet, which to some is worth the extra cost.
And while the Ve offers an improved keyboard over earlier models of the
RAZR, knowing that the RAZR2 will hit stores soon makes the phone less appealing.
