Motorola V505 Unlocked Cell Phone--U.S. Version with Warranty (Blue)

Motorola has done well with their triplets series phones and the v505 is no exception. Like the v600, v400 and v300 the v505 offers great features in its clamshell design. Exterior has a great look and feel to it with the rubber like feel on the outer rim and nice looking dimpled metal plate. Outer lcd shows time when not in use and caller ID when recieving a call. Ring styles can also be changed without having to open the phone. This feature can also be locked to prevent accidently changing ring styles. Inner screen has great color, something Motorola has always done well with. Its 176x220 size screen is great for displaying your favourite wallpaper or scrolling thru the various menu options. Menu options are typical Motorola layout that unless you are used to take a little bit of patience as Motorola manuals are never comprehensive or easy to follow. The camera is not bad for quick 'moment' pictures but do not rely on it for those family vacation pictures. Call quality and signal reception is great but will have a lot to do with where you are located. With the right software, pictures and MP3 songs can be downloaded into the phone and bluetooth makes this even easier. Used along with a bluetooth headset the phone is advanced as they come. The Speaker-phone is loud and clear and works well if you want to put the phone down while on a call. Battery life depends on how you use the phone but has been good for me.

Overall a great phone by Motorola. Glad Amazon finally released the unlocked/unbranded version to this phone originally only offered by AT&T. Just pop in your SIM card and the phone is ready to use.

This phone is nothing speical but as a phone it is perfect. Great battery life, reception, and easy to use. It much better than the v300 (clow interface) and v551 (short battery life, bad button placement) I had. I puchased the unlocked phone to use with Cingular and had no problems. The v505 is a great phone for people who want to make phone calls with a few nice features (like bluetooth).

The phone is very good. It feels comfortable, it has great reception, good signal. It's almost everything I was hoping for. But, it definitely has some issues for me. First, the battery. I can't get it to last what the phone promisses. Second, the side buttons when the phone is closed, are used to change the ringing or vibrating mode. They cannot be blocked by any means, and if you carry your phone in your pocket as I do, they keep pressing themselves and changing the mode. The third thing that annoys me is the address book. There's no way to search inside it, you can only scroll. When you have a lot of names, it becomes pretty annoying. But besides all this, the phone is excellent and I recommend it to anyone who wants a sturdy, easy to use, excellent clarity phone. Bluetooth is a breeze, surfing the web also, configuring all the services is very easy. Just buy it with the 3 little things in mind.

This phone worked great for first 8 months but now I am unable to charge the battery. I got a new charger also, but that did not help. I read similar problems with Motorola phones on internet.

Secondly, the voice reception is not so good. When I took to this to Cingular, they asked me to get a Nokia because that has a very good reception.

So in a nutshell, I was bowled over by its looks when I bought it but next phone will definitely be Nokia.
