Motorola V2288 > Reviews

Advantages: They some good deals about because the phone is so crap.
Disadvantages: It looks disgusting!, Value, lack of features

The Motorola V2288 was one of the first mobile phones to have a built in Fm radio… Okay I admit it that’s the only reason I bought the phone. I bought mine from eBay an online auction site for very little, £44 to be exact. Value. Theses phones retail at very little. They started off at £79.99 and then went to £69.99 and the £59.99. I believe that they can be bought for less than that now but I wouldn’t recommend one. Value ... Read review

Advantages: WAP, rubber wraps, radio
Disadvantages: Big clunky design, no games, rubbish ringtones

Motorola really know how to make a good phone. It is incredibly feature-packed for a £40 (with a free Orange Out-Here pack) phone. This phone is on Orange and so will have slightly different features to the standard Motorola V.2288. I will list and comment on all the features of the phone. WAP Internet Access- The WAP part of the phone is great. It is simple to use and easy to configure. You can set one neat feature allowing the phone to auto-disconnect ... Read review

Advantages: Simple to use, no fuss
Disadvantages: the pink rubber wrap

...turned out I bought the Motorola V2288e which he recommended I get in the first place, but I didn’t know that at the time. Me and my wee phone are inseparable nowadays, and we’ve grown quite fond of each other. Although less hi-tech than say a Nokia, the V2288e carries out all my communication needs with ease. Weighing in at 140g, it’s a fairly small, sleek beauty with 3 hours talk time and 5 days standby. The Just Talk – ... Read review

Advantages: Very easy to use and reliable
Disadvantages: Some misleading buttons

Motorola V2288e I was devastated when I lost my Nokia 7110e provided exclusively for Orange customers, and as I had no insurance was looking for the cheapest option available to me. This is when this nifty little thing came to light. The V2288e again is specific to Orange customers although is available to other providers also, but the model number is just V2288. What the difference is I am not actually to sure? I think it is something to do ... Read review

Advantages: High durablitlity and very easy to navigate
Disadvantages: Rechargable batteries needed, common feautures found on other phones are not available

...myself to invest in the Motorola V2288. When I received the phone the following day, I instantly ripped open the box, to find my new phone beckoning before me, gleaming with all its beauty, along with 2 covers, that somewhat resembles scuba diving material, hands free kit, a clip, along with a user guide, and not to forget your vital sym card. As I held the phone for the first time, I felt a tingle run down my fingertips, as it was so comfortable!! ... Read review

Advantages: Cheap
Disadvantages: Lacks features

...and got this phone, the Motorola V2288e. Of course I probably would have been better off plumping for the Nokia 3310 or 3330 which everyone in the world seems to have, but I resent paying £100 for something which I'm only going to use to send messages. And of course mobile phone prices have rocketed since the whole 3G license fiasco, so I resent paying money for something I could've got cheaper last year. So anyway, this one only cost £50 (from ...

Advantages: Looks stylish, practical, games, useful, Radio, WAP, cheap, value-for-money
Disadvantages: It isn't a Nokia, no phone activation

...the very latest available from Motorola is very hip and trendy to be seen with. It is fairly light and small, and is just the right size for pockets. The phone covers and the phone itself are very durable, as they are made out of strong materials (except the glow-in-the-dark case which is still durable but made out of rubber). The reception quality is absolutely phenomenal. I haven't had a single difficulty picking up signals and it is always ... Read review

Advantages: fm radio, WAP access
Disadvantages: chunky

...But this is where the Motorola V2288 sets itself apart. It's games are fairly basic, but highly addictive. Bricks is a modified form of that crappy tennis game everyone used to have, where you can put spin on balls to try and knock out the bricks. Highly repetitive, highly addictive! Baccarat is a game where you bet on which hand will be largest in cards, whilst Towers of Hanoi involves moving bricks accross posts as quickly as possible. Ok, so all ... Read review

Advantages: Cheap, cool radio!
Disadvantages: Ugly!

Introduction ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The Motorola V2288, not the best looking of phones but still a damn good phone in my opinion.

Features ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The Motorola V2288 comes with FM radio which is a saviour on bus and train journeys until I have enough money for a mini-disc. The V2288 also has WAP which is nothing ...

Advantages: The radio, the games...
Disadvantages: It's a bit big

...phone for just £40- the Motorola V2288. Undoubtedly, this is quite a large selling point: in spite of the fact the phone is quite big, it is also very aestetically pleasing to the eye, with its curves something Motorola's advertising department were quick to pick up on. As for the phone itself- well, it's WAP enabled, and whilst only providing a limited number of pages, it is enoprmously valuable for finding out scores at the football on a Saturday ... Read review

Advantages: Light,strong,reliable,has a radio,easy access menu
Disadvantages: Internet access is a big disappointment

I have found this phone model to be both easy to use and very reliable. I have had no problems with the actual phone although I have had to replace the hands-free set(earphones and mic). Although you have to navigate in order to find some of the less popular options (eg details about the network you are on) there is a simple menu accessible by the touch of a special button on the phone. This menu has the following options : *Find name(ie people ... Read review

Advantages: Great covers, great design
Disadvantages: takes a bit of time to get used to

I got this phone about a year ago on my 14th birthday. I went into the BT Cellnet shop to look for a phone and all I saw was Nokia. Nokia, Nokia and oh yeah, Nokia. I wanted something different, something without snake on it and people asking you: can I have a go on snake, lets here the Trigger Happy TV mobile tune please!!! So I looked around a bit more and this came to my eye. It was stylish, cool, had internet access and had FM radio including ... Read review
