Hi folks. In reviewing this phone I've tried my best to explain the technical ins and outs of the handset, but if there are any queries about it then feel free to ask me.
The V1050 is one of Motorola's recent offerings and it's immediately obvious that this is an upgrade to their V975/V980 pair that were released at an earlier time.
It's a clamshell phone, meaning that it opens and shuts with a center hinge similar to other models like the V550 and the famous Sharp GX10.
The features and benefits of this model are described below...

We surely all know what this is by now, but for the benefit of those who don't - it's an application that allows you to listen to near cd quality tunes and songs via the headphones provided with the handset.

Advantages: Great Sound, Great Looks, Great Price Disadvantages: Remotes a bit cheap, no USB port,
Having been in the market to downsize my old hi fi for something more compact, I've settled on the Teac reference 300 mkIII with DAB tuner. Its a 3 box system as opposed to the other smaller one box systems manufactured by Teac and others such as Denon, Arcam and Onkyo. As such, although being larger, it is more user friendly to use and has more power at 45 wpc RMS. At around £500 rrp it stands up favourably in price to the Arcam Solo Mini and comes in silver or black finish with machined aluminium fronts and a classy blue display on each unit. It actually appears slightly retro in appearance although the remotes are a bit cheap looking. The silver units can be found for as little as £349 without speakers so its quite a bargain.
Sound quality for such a small unit is really clear and well defined with a warm bass typical of Teac ...
After re-aranging our lounge a decision was made that the black clunky stacking hi-fi had to go, so a search on the internet and a visit to the Richer Sounds website led me initially to the Denon DM31.
I visited my local Richer sounds shop in Norwich the following day with the intention of purchasing a Denon, but a very helpful assistant informed me if I was to run powerful speakers such as mine (Bose Acoustimass 5) I would be better off with the Teac CRL600 with a higher wattage.
I hesitated as I had no info on this model, but decided to go with it when he assured me if I wasnt happy I could return it within 14days.
I plugged it all in at home and WOW I was very impressed. Far superior than my stacking ugly system. This unit sits beneath my tv ontop of the DVD player and looks well at home.
The audio quality from the CD and radio is ...
