Update: Cingular pulled the phone shortly after this post. Look for it again on November 15th…

As expected, Cingular Wireless has launched the Motorola RAZR V3. The super-thin flip phone is now listed on online sales for most markets. Expect to pay $499 and sign a contract to get the RAZR.

Here are some specs:

• VGA resolution camera with 4x zoom, image quality options, and auto-timer
• Bluetooth
• Speakerphone
• Only one half inch thick while closed
• Quad-band GSM

Despite being a quad-band handset, Cingular has an exclusive with the Motorola RAZR V3 in the United States. We first reported Cingular would carry this handset back in early September, about a month after the phone was officially announced.
