There has been a lot of talk and advertising for the Motorola V3X so once it came out it had to live up to some heavy expectations. Luckily for Motorola it did. The V3X is a great phone so and hopefully my review will help you to understand that.
Looks:
This phone definitely has looks; it is probably the most stylish phone on the market. It is super sleek and not very tall either. The whole thing adds up the little screen on the front and the camera above it, the whole thing is a masterpiece. One of the best things in my eye about the look is that unlike most flip-phones it does not have one of those short stubby aerials sticking out of the top.
Feel / Ease of Use
This phone feels great in the hand to. It just about fits into the palm of my hand (the phone is quite wide) and it is not very heavy. It also fits very nicely into my ...
Advantages: simple to use, 2mp camera, 64mb expandable memory Disadvantages: slightly thicker than the standard V3
DESCRIPTION OF PHONE AND MAIN FEATURES
----------------------------------------------------------------------
The V3x is of a flip or clamshell design. The phone looks smart and, although it is thicker than the standard V3x, it makes up for this in features and is still slimmer than most other flip phones. There is a small screen that is visable when the phone is closed which displays the date, time, caller id, and your choice of wallpaper.

There is also a cool additional key that you press, say a command, ie recent calls, and it ...
Advantages: Latest onto the market, Mp3 Ringtones 2mp camera Disadvantages: Chunky and large when flipped open.
Phones are readily becoming the new fashion item, having the latest phone for some people is a must and I have to admit it im one of those people. So when I heard the new Motorola V3x was being realeased I had to get it.
I has a masterplan to get my hands on this phone, I was to phone up Vodaphone my current contract provider and tell them I wished to cancel my contract to switch to Three where they were offering the phone on some pretty good deals. Low and behold my plan worked and Vodaphone offered me the phone for free with an amazing price plan which I just couldn't resist, 2 days later and i had my brand new phone. Now to the review.
Looks: The phone is pretty similar to the original V3 range, major difference is the thickness of the phone which has been increased to house the new 2MP camera. The phone is made out of a very ...
The CME Bitstream 3X is a high-quality USB MIDI controller equipped with sliders, knobs, buttons, joystick, ribbon controller, cross fader and much more. "3X" stands for "3 Axis" because the Bitstream 3X features full control over three different Axis- X, Y and Z. A joystick allows control over two (X and Y), while an ribbon controller is used for the Z axis. With 35 knobs, 8 Sliders and 16 buttons, the CME Bitstream 3X gives you total hands-on control of any DAW (Digital Audio Workstation) software and comes with an astounding 13,000 presets for Reason, Live, Reaktor, Traktor, Absynth, Cakewalk and of course Steinberg's Cubase. Digital DJ's will love the MIDI Cross-fader and the 8-track motion sampler which allows automated recording of the movements of the knobs, joystick, crossfader and ribbon controller. A dedicated transport section makes for easy hand-on control of any software or hardware sequencer and 100 scene memories allow the user to quickly call back any saved configuration in real-time. A 6.35mm jack input is provided on the rear panel to connect an external foot switch / pedal. With this, you could generate any on/off MIDI event as per the front panel buttons.
The Bitstream 3X's hands-on control facilities are very comprehensive, but what if you need more real-time control than your two hands can give you? The Bitstream 3X has the answer with it's automated controllers. These include an LFO (low frequency oscillator), an advanced arpeggiator (which can generate some amazing grooves!), and an 8 track motion sampler.
The CME Bitstream 3X features both conventional MIDI connections (MIDI In, MIDI Thru and two MIDI Outputs on 5-pin DIN sockets) and a built-in USB interface (which carries an additional MIDI Input and two additional MIDI Outputs). Each control of the Bitstream 3X can generate MIDI events that can be routed anywhere you like - to the conventional MIDI outputs or USB outputs.
