Motorola V600 User Reviews

I love my V600!
Nov 21, 2005 02:18 AM 1922 Views

I've had my V600 now since September '04. I purchased mine through T-Mobile's pay as you go. I love it! It's small enough to fit in my pocket. It may not be as light as some other phones, but at just over 4 ounces, it's not as heavy as some of my earlier phones. I've stayed with Motorola through the years as I've always loved the quality. But my first introduction to the phone was during the 2004 Oscars as it was the phone as part of the Oscar goodie basket given out. I said then that I had to have it and promptly went on line to Motorola to sign up for an email alert as to when it would be released. The chrome look of it is beautiful and expensive looking. I bought a case for it but haven't had to use it as the chrome has hardly any scratches after being thrown in my purses and bags! There are other options, such as an extended battery but I've not needed it as the battery life is awesome! I can keep my phone on for approximately 5 days without recharging. Sooner if I have used it often. I also love the fact that the front of the phone has a window so that you can see who's calling, when you receive a text or voicemail message without opening the phone. You can also select the type of ringtone you want from the side too; just whether you want it loud, silent, vibrate, vibrate then ring. To select a specific melody ringtone you have to go into the Settings function. The ringtones are wonderful and rich sounding. Now that T-Mobile offers actual voice clips and short mp3 ringtones of actual recorded songs, it makes my phone that much more entertaining! The cost is 1.99 per ringtone for mp3-style and voice, and 1.49 for polyphonic ringtones. The same for wallpapers. All are updated regularly. The inside screen is bright and vibrant and has a 7-line visual. You can modify what the screen shows by going into settings. Everything is modifiable on the main screen. You can show as little or as much as want! You can also modify the key functions too! I love the 1000-entry phonebook. A previous reviewer stated that you can only input one number per name, but that's not true. I have several entries under one name--main number (work), home, cell, email--and you don't have to exit the enter screen to input each one. You can stay in the entry and continue to input. When you are finished, you will see all the entries separately listed but with the same name. The camera takes decent photos too!

Great phone but sloowwwww
Sep 14, 2005 07:39 PM 1994 Views

So I bought this phone about a 1.5 years ago when it first came out.


A few things that are good:


1) great reception. picks up signals that other gsm phones next to mine don't.


2) quad band is great. I travel globally and having a phone that finds a signal in all the major countries is great.


3) bluetooth is amazing. I have the bluetooth headset which I used prior to having it permantently installed in my car. great feature.


4) the color rings are neat.


5) good battery life (about 1.5 days with above average talking).


6) good drop resistance. If I had a dollar every time I dropped this phone, I'd be able to retire. withstands quite a bit.


a few things bad:


1) Operating system is slow. going from one screen to another seems like a true task for the phone.


2) a little bulky. for phone out now, this one is a little on the bigger side.


recommended if your looking for a sturdy, world phone that's a bit bulky.


hope that helps

I got this phone because it has cute attractive looks, and ofcourse its motorola, with lot of uniqueness.


I have been using motorola V600 since 8 months , its a good phone no doubt , very good screen and camera with a real good sharpness, its Text Messaging system its very supportive.


But apart from all this good value for money there is some bad features in this phone , everyone keeps phone in pocket and this phone has buttong on side which helps you to increase and dicrease sound, but many a times I have noted that it changes the settings on phone ring style, it sets ring style on silent mode and you never know when it changed , just because of the side buttons , and due to flap phone its screens gets marks and looks shabby.


Battery charging points in phone also gets spoiled in few months , you will have to put lot of efforts to start your phone charging, and last but not least spare parts like data cable is very costly, which is hard to find.


Its Motorola ofcourse , gives you quality which no other brands can give.

V303 - V600's little brother
Oct 03, 2004 05:56 PM 2634 Views

Well this review is not really about V600, but a closely related phone on the same platform... the V303. This review is strictly for Indian customers.



It seems that the US and European version of this phone has been quite well received, but the Indian model falls far behind. The reason being that the Indian phone is being sold with older firmware verion.


It is fairly easy to get this information, the software version is openly displayed in most Motorola phones (Settings ->Phone Status -> Other Information). The older software seems to have quite a few bugs, especially related to call dropping and general voice call problems (like the calling party can hear you, but you cant). This is apparently not there on the foreign phones (judging from the reviews). But the ones being sold in India till now (Sep'04) definitely are buggy.


I encountered these issuses on my phone


1) After a call the camera refuses to start ''Busy try again'' diaglogue comes up.


2) Phone does not ring sometimes when a MP3 ringtone is set (Why market this feature Moto??!!)


3) If you keep the phone in your jeans pocket, I can bet that you will never hear it ringing.


4) As I mentioned before, problems with voice calls...calling party can hear but I cant or vice versa.


I loved this flashy and colourful phone initially, but very soon I foud that these drawbacks nullify all the colourful features. This is why I felt I shoudl write this review...the Motorola V303 Indian version looks good at first sight, but is not worth the trouble. Sure you can send it to Motorola service center, leave it there for a day, and they would fix everything, but would it not be easier to walk into a Nokia or Samsung showroom instead?? Especially for the lay-man who does not want to be bothered by these problems and just use his phone.


BTW, in case anyone is interested, I found the games in this phone quite dull too...personally I think Nokia's snake can hold my attention for a longer time than all the 3 games on this phone! But that of course is a personal opinion.

Introduction to the Motorola V600



To start with, I`d like to say to all of you, that the Motorola V600 is the first 4-band phone from the company. It is equiped with an integrated digital camera, including Bluetooth Connectivity, what is a new breakthrough for a phone of this class. There is also a 65,000+ internal screen. There are other features which are similar to the phones of this generation. It supports MMS, polyphony, GPRS and Bluetooth.


The Motorola V600 is a fashionable phone. It`s rival models are assumably the Samsung SGH-V200, LG G8000. The Motorola V600 is a quadband phone (GSM 850/900/1800/1900 ), with internal screen (colour graphical TFT 65K display with the resolution of 176x220 pixels). The screen has up to 7 +line with icons and tips to the soft keys use. The external screen has a resolution of approx. 96x32 pixels. Battery type is Li-Ion 700 mAh. The phone`s weight is approx 94 g, with dimensions 87x47x23 mm It can store upto 1000 records in it`s memory phonebook. However, only one number can be added to one name. Email Address and photos can also be added to each entry.


The standby time of the phone is up to 210 hours and talktime is up to 530 minutes. The Motorola v600 is capable of MMS, SMS, EMS voice dialing, voice memo and has various programmed modes of vibrating alert and schemes. A good aspect of the phone is it`s interchangeable metal covers (two made of platinum). It has the possibility to play video clips with it`s 640x480 pixel Integrated digital VGA camera. It has 5 Mb of shared memory, which include different applications and data. It has 32 prinstalled ringing tones offers the possibility to compose up to 32 own melodies from .mp3-file and .wav which can be used as a ringing tone. That`s a great aspect of the Motorola v600. It also has 24 polyphonic tones.


The Motorola v600 also includes WAP 2.0 and other essential features like calendar,data, time, calculator and an organiser with an alarm-clock, up to 500 records or different types of reminders, games and email can be sent via POP3/IMAP. For data transfer the Motorala v600 has synchronization with PC via cable (RS232/USB) or Synchronization with PC (USB) So, as you can see, the phone is packed with many features which are stylish. (or fashionable).


My views with The Motorola V600


The looks are great. It`s sleek, well-built and very stylish. It looks even better with the platinum finish. It has a really great size, considering that it has so many features and it`s a flip-phone. The phone has a very good screen. Naturally, I have noticed the exterior screen a lower colour display than the interior screen. The screen has a nice size visually and shows a great deal of information too.


If the screen is normal, it shows the signal strength, time and battery (plus more), but if someone is calling, it displays and assigned picture (if any), the name and contact number of the person. This phone has the ability to phone internationally. I mean that I have tested it with my friend in the US from Mauritius, and it really works! No wonder it`s a Quadband phone.


As everyone knows, phones have been invented for communication of speech. -And for this, a good sound reception is extremely important, however hyper or pack-featured a mobile phone is. (atleast to ensure it`s survival in the market) When I tested the mobile, luckily the sound reception was clear in my handset and from the other too.


However, I`ve noticed that the best results with the Motorola V600 is when you tip it sideways and then you speak. The sound seems clearer and it`s just the handling of the phone which remains more of an important issue, as maybe some people will find it pretty uncomfortable to handle whilst speaking.


The Motorola V600 has a powerful and advanced predictive-text engine, by iTap which works well. The buttons are well-shaped and I have already got used to manipulating the buttons. The word completion seems the best innovative feature from iTap. You type only three or four letters of a word and it is simply guessed and dispayed automatically on the v600! WOW! That`s really cool! It speeds up typing by 3 times compared to my other Nokia 3410 phone.


The buttons on the flip phone are in a somewhat standard design format. They are large and if you refer to the liks below, you`ll notice that it covers the whole surface area of the lower face. The 4-way keypad is nice and upto the mark!


The games are really great, but the only problem is that they are demo and have to be registered for 5 US dollars. But I`ve had much fun playing them. The integrated camera of 640x480 pixels cannot capture videos with the camera. It includes a 4x digital zoom and can take very good pictures. A lot of pictures can be stored on a phone which has a total internal memory of about 5MB.


BLuetooth connectivity is great and really easy. With a few clicks, ringtones, images, videos, applications can be transferred from PC to handset. MP3 can be trimmed and transferred as ringtones for the Motorola V600. Nothing could get easier than this!


There are several applications which are included with the Motorola V600 and here`s a brief look at some of the major ones;


The calculator is near perfect apart from a feature which I would`ve appreciated very much. Apart from it`s four basic functions, the currency converter (the exhchange rates have to be inserted by user), percentages and simple memory functions.


 


However, the draw-back of this application is that if the application had been programmed to go online for exchange rates, then it would have left a better impression to me, but having said that I think that it would have cost quite a lot to go online again and again! The datebook is a standard calendar and quite handy for non-PDA owners. Alerts can be set up, future and past months can be viewed or reviewed, and so on....The Alarm clock can be modified with multiple alarms, different tones and volumes.


The Motorola V600 is a really great phone and I would recommend it to people who want a fashionable flip-phone and yet, need a fully-packed featured mobile. At Nokia, I haven`t come across any information about whether a phone as sophisticated and yet in a clam-shell-like phone exists like the Motorola V600. Maybe there is the 7200 from NOKIA, but I LOVE MY MOTOROLA v600!


(Try rating this review, I really need this!!!)

Moto V600

I got the Motorola V600 as an offer from AT&T Wireless with 40% discount. I got this beauty of a piece , after trying out NEC 525. This MOTO V600 is really amazing.


The first thing I noticed was that, the reception quality increased dramatically( Even with AT&T Wireless). It has an external antenna which could be helping this. The phone has a impressive cram shell design. The phone is quite sleek and not too bulky. It can easliy fit in your pocket.


The camera is very good, captures good images and has 4x digital zoom which I found is a good feature. There are 3 controls on the outer side of the body to quickly access most used functionalities like changing the phone status mode from loud to soft, vibrate, vibrate & ring and silent. A speaker phone is provided at the back of the phone and the clarity is excellent when hearing but the person on the other side might not always hear us clearly.


Navigation is made with 5-way cursor. You can setup shortcuts for most used functionalities.We can store upto 1000 names in the phone book with email address, home num, work num, fax and pager for each customer. Battery life seems to be good though I haven't had a chance to bring it to it's full potential. ( What I mean is that any new battery requires atleast 3 full discharge/recharge to work on it's full potential, and I have tried only two times yet, since I got this phone). I manage to get 3.5 hours of talk time and a stand by time of nearly four days.


There are two games Stuntman and Bejeweled ( is a trial game). I love the Stuntman( it's a car race simulation game). Options are available to download JAVA applications/ games. We can store upto 40 Polyphonic tunes. I found the built-in tunes are very simple ones though they are good to hear.


Overall a very good piece and is all the money's worth you pay. It's priced around $300 with the plan, though you can a unlocked one for the same price if you look out for the deals.
