Motorola V220

...what drew me to the Motorola V220. This tidy little flip-phone certainly looks the part. In its closed state, it stands at only just over 3 inches in height, with attractive silver casing, an LCD screen with time display and neatly placed camera lens encircled by a little disc of chrome, making it a very stylish looking little chap indeed! Flip this phone open and there is a compact colour screen, generous sized keypad with illuminated symbols and ...
...come across since buying the Motorola V220, the picture quality simply doesn’t compare. However, in good light and with the subject close by, some of the photos I have taken are of acceptable quality. One feature I do like is that you can alter the colour of the photos by setting the camera to ‘black and white’, ‘antique’, ‘colour’ or add a ‘bluish’, ‘reddish’ or ‘greenish’ tint. The phone does come equipped with an auto-timer however, which is a ...

Review of Motorola V220

...good until I saw this Motorola V220 for £50. It comes in either silver or pink and may even get freebies with it. The phone is small, light and stylish with a couple of good ring tones and a few little features. It is a flip phone that has an lcd on the front and a colour screen on the inside. It has a digital camera built in which is ok and has a few games to play if your bored. It has all the usual settings that phones have and are easy enough ...
...my real review of my Motorola V220....... Over a year ago I was looking for a phone that was cheap, had good ringtones, a digital camera, small and preferable a flip phone. Not liking mentioning names or advertising I won't say where I got it from but it is a well known phone shop. It was advertised at £50 in silver or pink so I opted for silver. The last time I owned a Motorola it was large and cumbersome but was reliable and robust so that also ...

Review of Motorola V220

...kept clean, along with the Motorola logo(M). **Design** The design of this phone is relatively good in comparison to many other Moto phones that are available. Without opening the phone you can activate certain features. it's a very small phone, which fits in your pocket without any trouble. If I was to moan about anything on this phone with regards to the design I would have to complain about the ariel as I think it spoils the phones stylish look ...
...damaged it by dropping it, Motorola were really quick to get it fixed. I think it was only about 5days. All she done was phone Moto customer care and they sent a pre-paid envelope to her and she posted the phone to them. Last Note~ I live in Edinburgh and I always get a top signal I have not been many places since getting this phone so I am not sure what the quality would be like where you are. I know it comes down to your telecommunications provider ...

Review of Motorola V220

This was my first camera phone and I have to say that this was a top quality phone for its time. It was either this phone or the VK 530, but this one had some more functions on it for a better price. Contents of box: *Phone *Charger *Manual *Warranty The first thing I noticed about the phone was the design. I quite liked the design, the thing for the eleven year old me. It was pink, a flip phone (the craze) and it had a camera. The phone has ...
...(0.3 mp) and the only "music" and video you can play is the tones/videos already on the phone. You cannot transfer anything on to it. To remove images, you have to use a cable and you have to buy the software for it (there is a way to get past that if you are on Virgin). A bit irritating. The ringtones on the phone are quite good. Nothing extremely special, but you get a selection. There is a recording function, but you can't set the recordings ...

Review of Motorola V220

...lot of damage. The Motorola V220 is the first phone that I have had with a built in camera, It's a stylish phone silver in colour, its very light in weight and is overall a very small phone. Once you open the flip up you are greeted with what looks like a lot of buttons, but to be honest its just your standard buttons and of course a few extra. The main menu button (circle) is located just above the number 2 key. When you press the main menu you ...
...This is what I think Motorola lack. I feel that when you are on a call to someone the line can be very fuzzy and I often find myself saying "what" a lot whilst on the phone. The phone does have a built in speaker which I feel is a total waste of time as when you use it the other person on the phone cannot hear you that well Ring tones: There are a good variety of ring tones on this phone, from Hello Moto to jingle bells. You can have the volume ...

Review of Motorola V220

The motorola v220 is a reasoably priced phone, its not the top end of the market, but if you're after a simple phone its ideal. Physical Size The phone itself is small and lightweight. This is helped by being a clam shell design. When closed it will easily fit into your hand or a pocket. The aerial on it however can get in the way. I have had to have my aerial replaced twice due to snapping in my pocket. Features. The phone itself isn't full ...
...polyphonic ringtones - java games - WAP - alarm clock and usual office functions The phone came with two simple games on it, but more can be added. It also has a good selection of ringtones which as usual can be expanded. It has 1.8mb memory which can easily fit quite a few photos taken or extra ringtones or games. Using WAP I have found to be slow but not very expensive. I have downloaded a few ringtones via this method and have found it quite ...

Review of Motorola V220

...a new one! The Motorola V220 is a tiny flip phone measuring 9cm X 4cm when closed - although when open it displays a set of keys large enough to depress without catching your finger on the next key,a screen with easy tab menu icons and two 'soft' keys which can be adapted to the function of your choice.One of the icons gives direct access to your calendar, calculator and alarm clock. It has a camera with a mirror on the lens side for taking photos ...
...the like - but fortunately Motorola phones have a 'radio thing' (technical term) inside, which means my V220 works all over the house - very impressive! It can be switched to loudspeaker too and the reception is really clear. The battery lasts for 4 days without charging it but I do not play the games that are installed - just mainly answer it when it rings and send the occasional text. Well, it is a phone! I bought this pay as you go phone for ...

Review of Motorola V220

...wanted a "flip phone" the Motorola V220 was my only option. At first when I was looking it up on the internet I was not overly taken by the looks of the handset, in fact, I hated the large mirror-like thing around the camera but the looks grew on me and £130 later I was making my first call. I do have to say however that I still do not like the look of the mirror and I have never found the need to use it when taking photos, so Motorola could easily ...
...but that's neither here nor there. Generally, the looks of the phone are outstanding and curvaceously attractive. The antenna is short and unobtrusive and the front screen is extremely useful for timekeeping (if you are like me and don't carry a watch). A useful hint for those who buy this phone - to change the ring style (vibrate, silent etc.) without scrolling through the menus, without even opening up the phone, press either of the up or down ...

Review of Motorola V220

Specification ========== Size: 86 x 44 x 24 mm Weight: 100g Internal Memory: 1.8 Mbytes Tri-band V220 includes: ============ Integrated VGA digital camera with digital zoom - not one of the best camera's I have ever seen but the pictures are clear and I am comparing it to the Panasonic gd87 i used to have.

...the rason for this. Colour screen - Basic feature of nearly every phone now - excellent colour photos and menus. Polyphonic ringtones / MP3 ringtones - Brilliant quality polyphonics and mp3's can be played as message tones or call tones. There are around 30 ringtones on this phone - around 3 are mp3's but others can be downloaded via WAP or through a data cable. I bought a cable and a CD of pics and ringtones off ebay for £2.50, which includes the ...

Review of Motorola V220

...COLOUR & DESIGN ---------------------------- The Motorola V220 comes in black, silver and pink. I have a black phone which is the best colour. The design of the phone is pretty cool. If you are accustomed to flip phones then this is the phone for you. It is pretty light weighing in at only 3.7 ounces. It is the 2nd lightest phone from Motorola. In my opinion the colour and design can be modified to suit the customer. The unfortunate thing about ...
...most Nokia's. The colours could be expanded to include colours like Red, Blue and Green. Overall i am happy with the colour and design but vast improvements could be made. EASE OF USE -------------------- It has big buttons so its pretty easy not to miss a key. The only thing is the navigation, It has a little joypad that this close to the screen. As it being a flip phone it doesnt tilt enough so it has been known to damage the screen. Navigating ...

Review of Motorola V220

...I have previously had three Motorola phones, one Seimens and a Nokia. Motorola is by far my phone manufacturer of choice. The Seimens was faffy and the Nokia felt heavy and complicated. The Clam shell design is my favourite and this phone stood out in terms of price and design. The phone is small and lightweight. It is mainly silver and has a black display surround on the outer shell. The display panel shows who is calling when the phone is closed ...
...small mirror surrounding the camera lens. (I would really like to have done away with the camera, that's how prehistoric i am, but it couldn't be done) There are three buttons on the left side of the phone for ontolling volume and any other function you assign. There is a hot key on the RHS to control the camera when the lid is closed. You can take self portraits. Hmmm, shan't bother. Upon opening the camera you are greeted by an electric blue backlit ...

Review of Motorola V220

I have used and tried lots of mobile phones, and to be honest I must say that this phone is a little dynamo. It looks really nice, especially in this Limited Edition Baby Pink colour; It is really smooth to the touch and can be carried with ease. It feels really nice in the hand, and everything on it is easily accessable. The display is large and easy to see, which is good for texting and viewing photos. The texting on this phone is easy to do, and ...
...phones that leave you in a muddle, maybe wondering whether or not is would have been easy just to speak to the recipetent in person, rather than go through the hassle of trying to use the text messaging facility. The keyboard layout is perfect, and as all the keys are either directly next to or underneath each other it makes texting and dialling a breeze. Some phones have weird keyboard layouts, that may look nice, but take a while to get the hang ...

Review of Motorola V220

...Santa theory. The Motorola V220 is a classy little silver number that flips open and it also has a built in camera. One of the reasons I wanted this phone was actually for the fact that it has a built in camera but to be honest I have only used the camera about 5 times. The camera itself is situated at the back of the top side when you flip the phone open and when you open the phone it does say camera to the right of the screen so you just click ...
...darken before you take a photo with it. Unlike some earlier camera phnoes this one does take quality pics and you can store loads on the memory. If you wish you can email the photos to a friend or you can use the photo as the wallpaper for your phone. The phone has a small screen that displays the time on it and its in bold writing so that to is handy. It has all the usual features like an alarm clock which is a good one but not at 630 am in the ...
