General Comments

The motorola V3688 is a very compact mobile phone, people are still amazed at the size of the phone compared with current models.
The menu system is easy to use, once you get used to it, and the ability to create shortcuts to the most frequently used items is a help.
The phone has an in-built clock with time and date, although there isn't a facility to set an alarm or time and date stamp incoming / outgoing calls.
The phone doesn't use iTap predictive text messaging which makes sending long text messages time consuming.
Early models suffered with a lack of volume from the earpiece. Even with the earpiece volume up full, it can be difficult to hear the caller in noisy places.
The phone has a limited number of standard ringtones and it doesn't allow additional ringtones to be added.
The vibrating call alert is one of the best I've felt! When worn on the belt it gives a real "kick" when a call or SMS is received.
All-in-all a good little phone, however it is now outclassed by the V50 WAP phone and the new V66.
