 scubra's recommendation | |
Outstanding looks.
Bright, crisp 262k colour screen.
MP3 Ringtones.
Good bluetooth implementation.
Quadband.
Texting is not as responsive as a Nokia.
A little thick.
The monopoly game from the V600 has been replaced.
I've had the Motorola V620 for a few weeks and I am very impressed overall. I'm now used to the Motorola interface which is quite different to Nokia or Siemens (the other brands I've owned) but it's highly customisable. The iTap text messaging system is very quick at learning new words, but it is a pain when you're first starting out with the phone. Reception has been good too.
The camera is of decent quality (although not on par with the VGA cameras of Nokia mobiles) - at least good enough for quick snaps and picture messaging.
The other big problem is that I have to press the keys quite hard to register the letters on the screen. Apart from this, the features and smart all-black look definitely wins points for style especially compared to the LG and Samsung silver look.
It's something different from the V600 and V3 users out there and definitely stands out (although the software and features of the V620 and V3 are virtually identical). My only major disappointment was that the Monopoly game has been removed and they've put a Golf game and Top Gun (still good) as replacements.
My handset came with the settings of all UK operators preloaded (a big help) but I think the hellomoto.com website has a configurator for MMS/WAP.
