I'll start by saying that I love this phone, I've had it for nearly a year and I still get people saying "wow cool phone, can I have a look at it". Ok so its for those of us who are trying to boost our image in others eyes, but so what isn't that life these days! I must admit that the look is probably the best thing about the phone, my friends have nokias which all seem to me to be so much more advanced with features, but I didn't want to be like the rest of them. I searched the internet for deals and picked it up for £20 with a £25/month contract(Orange 200 free minutes and wap time), abbsolute bargain seeing that it was over £400 in the shops to buy, and £200 with a contract in certain high street outlets! Signal is generally good, wap use is easy and excellent, voice dial average, never very good when you try and put too many voices in, phone is small and light so fits in your pocket no problem. Only drawbacks are the games, if that really interests you and the vibration is a bit pathetic, also you can't get polyphonic ringtones. But hey, in todays society its all about being noticed and with this phone you do just that.

Advantages: cool small design makes it easy to fit in pockets or small bags for girls! the cover spins to cover keys making it easy to open and helps when phone is your pocket or bag as it is virtually impossible to press the buttons whilst the cover is down Disadvantages: small buttons can be hard to see what your pressing in the dark, and it is easy to press the wrong buttons as they are so small

Review of Motorola V70
Advantages: A small, nice looking phone with a good range of features - and how many mobile phones have chains of ducks walking across the screen? Disadvantages: sometimes slightly slow and, for Nokia familiars, a bit dificult to use.
