Motorola V710
The Motorola V710 appeared to be an excellent phone. It had everything the Razor had to offer and more. However there were several things I didn’t like about the phone also. Now I will admit most of the features had been disabled by my carrier.
One of the main features that have been disabled is the ability to place an mp3 file on the external transflash card, and use the file as a ring tone. This is obviously an attempt to encourage use of their data service to obtain ring tones. So just to make things worse the camera takes grainy photos and even worse video. The phone obviously has the capability of a 1995 webcam :) . After about 4 months of use my Motorola V710 just froze up and stopped functioning. So I purchased a Nokia 6255I and am actually impressed with Nokia’s new camera phone. This phone features to memory card expansion slots for storage of mp3’s, photos and any other data you can stuff on a MMC card. However once again I believe this feature has been disabled by my carrier. It also takes crystal clear photo and video that is actually worth shooting. The infared feature seems to work however transfer of photos from the phone to any other device via Bluetooth or infared has also been disabled. It seems to be an overall great phone. However the phone is rather blocky and I have never been a big fan of Nokia’s phone interface. This phone is a nice phone however with all these features being disabled it makes for a sour experience.
