General Comments

From first impressions the little Motorola is definately a stylish phone. The V3688 is very small (but thick when closed) and light enough to lose without noticing. As soon as you flip the phone, it goes downhill from there.

The quality of the plastics seemed to be of poor quality and the decals come off easily. The flip action also felt a tad flimsy. The screen itself isn't too bad in size and has just enough brightness at night.

The main problem of this phone is definitely the menu design. It is an absolute pain to use as you have to go through twice as many commands as a Nokia phone. The menu keys are placed on the top and bottom of the phone and are not clustered together therefore wasting even more time.

Features on this phone are lacking in some areas compared to cheaper phones out there e.g. Nokia 3310. Main features include vibrating alert, voice dialling (which works resonably well), multi-language support and customisable menus (also a pain to setup).

There are a lot of comments about the poor battery performance but I found it reasonable but not good. What was good is the reception, strong and clearc ompared to the others.

Overall this phone is really targeted for the semi-professional person. If you're a teenager looking for style stay away. It's got the looks for a great phone but it is a really disappointing effort.
