General Comments
Motorola V500 - I've had this phone for around 6 months now, and have found it quite straightforward to use, has plenty of features, and seems reliable. Apart from the fact that you can't see the screen in sunlight, which appears to a common failing of many mobiles, and the picture quality isn't that great, the one thing which really drives me to distraction, and which dissuades me from ever wanting another Motorola, is the side-mounted buttons. These are such a ludicrous and unnecessary feature, you have to wonder whatever prompted anyone to include them on what is otherwise a reasonably well-designed phone. Put the mobile in your pocket, and as soon as it comes into contact with anything it starts making that annoying bleeping, which you know means that it's altering the ring status, usually ending up on 'Silent', which means that you miss any incoming calls. Why are these buttons there? I only ever need to alter my ring status occasionally, and, when I do, I'm quite happy to go through the menu, or have a shortcut button on the INSIDE of the clamshell. What's the point of having a clamshell design, and then mount buttons on the OUTSIDE of the clamshell which can fundamentally affect whether or not you can hear an incoming call? Barmy!!
