    Good Points: Looks to die for.


    Bad Points: Awful menu and text layout.


    General comments: The Motorola V60i is a fantastic looking phone although the technology is a bit out of date.

    The Motorola V60i is an excellent mobile phone.

    In my time, have owned Nokia phones (8210, 5110) and Motorola phones (V3688, V60i, E365). Other members of my immediate family have also owned phones from Ericsson, Seimens, Motorola, Samsung and Nokia. Out of all of these different phones I have used, I prefer the V60 over all of them (including the newer E365).

    Ill start from the beginning. I've owned this phone for more then 1 and a half years (my 2 year contract expires in 4 months). ...

    This Motorola V60i is a very average mobile phone. I have been using mine for three months having used my older Nokia 5210 before it. I've gone back to the Nokia today. Here's why:

    The Motorola's are a nighmare to use due to their inpenetrable menu system, which is not at all intuitive to use and is hugely over-complicated. Nokia's are bliss in comparison, and all functions can be quickly learned and 'short-cutted' to. I have had Motorola's before and have never got on with their hopeless int ...

    The Motorola V60i's text is great I have to rely on the text since my phone calls don't go threw. it's easy to read and Easy to respond. The only thing good about this phone.

    I bought my phone brand new when they first came out and paid $185 for it. And 2 months later, it broke! It started showing "No Service" and has not worked since. Because it was still under warranty, I was able to send it off for repairs at no cost-but I had to wait 1.5 months to get it back from the Motorola Repair Center. It worked the first day that I got it back but hasn't worked since. I take very good care of my phone and am very displeased with the way Motorola and my cellular service p ...

    Although I enjoyed using the Motorola V60i Mobile phone for the 7 months it lasted, the antenna broke off twice, the second time breaking the phone at the point of attachment, rendering it irrepairable. The signal dropped from poor to no signal at all, whereas my previous motorola phones never had a problem with reception. I would not reccomend buying this phone, as it will not hold up to normal use. Also, the screen and the casing were easily scratched.

    The Motorola V60i is small and the text is easy to read. It is not as simple to operate as my Nokia phones and requires you to read the manual a few times to learn some of the features. I missed quite a few call due to low ring level even though I set the phone to its highest level of 7. Setting it to vibrate/ring only makes it worst. It doesn't vibrate and ring at the same time, but vibrate weakly a few times before ringing. The protruding antennae can easily break off, it is held there with ...

    I have had this phone for roughly a year now and it has been good all around. Sometimes, it is difficult to determine whether it's reception is lousy or a lousy provider, so dropped calls are an anomoly. Battery life is very good and reception is clear. My biggest peeve is that it does NOT support distinctive ringing as every other mobile on the market does (???) It would be nice to program a phone to ring one way when the boss calls and another when its mum!

    This phone is all style and very little function. I was eagerly awaiting this phone and eventually when it arrived at my door step i was a little disapointed. I wanted a phone that could be used efficiently for business use and also be fun to use and cool to be seen using.
    Lets start with the cool factor, it does look the biz compared to some nokia models. It has a nice active flip which displays the callers name on the front.
    The fun aspect is a let down, the games are not great but the pho ...

    Having been an early adopter of wireless technology I have owned them all - from the early analog briefcase sized "cellular phones" to my current sleek and sophisticated Motorola V60i. I depend on this baby! I use my V60i extensively everyday, my monthly usage exceeds 4000 minutes, month in month out. With this as the background let me tell you - Motorola V60i is by far the best high performance wireless phone I have owned to date. Does it have shortcomings? Yes! However, it is still the best ...

    I'd first like to thank motorola for bringing this wonderful invention to the world. With that being said, i'd want to say that the v60i is a real good quality phone. I used to have the samsung T-100, but it is absolutly NOTHING compared to this "color phone beater". I say this because i've tried many phones such as 7210, 7250, 6100 ...all nokia color screens... and not to forget mentioning the T-100 color from samsung.

    Lets get straight to the point, although many ppl have said that this ph ...

    I just got mine 2 days ago, it is great. I have been traveling for over 250 miles through hills and in the Rural areas and this phone really keeps connected on the AT&T Network. I used to have the basic Nokia 5165i that came with my plan and this phone sounds much clearer!!! It fits the contuor of your face and is light. The speaker phone accessory works very well also, don't need to strain to talk and listen. I would recommend this phone to anyone needing a small reliable piece that fits great ...

    OK well, I got my V60i when they were first released here in the US, so, I was expecting a few minor bugs, and Verizon told me that they would gladly update the software in the phone when Motorola released the second phase (Supposedly with no bugs). About a month after I got my phone, it started shutting itself off randomly in the middle of my calls, even if it had full reception and battery. So, I took it in and the people at Verizon had told me that I was charging my battery too much...Mind ...

    The phone just wouldn't work inside. It would not recieve any signal what soever and therefore I missed many calls. When you want to change the setting to say silent, when it needs to be silent, it makes a very large beep and that defeats the purpose of being silent in a place where you need it quiet. I also found it annoying to hit the phone book button as opposed to pushing down on nokia phones and also it has low battery life. Over all I would say stay away from this phone.

    At first I was excited to get this phone. I had previously used an assortment of Nokia phones, but decided to try a Motorola. I had been told the Motorolas had better reception than the Nokias, but did not find that to be the case. My house is in the city of Chicago, but AT&T service sucks there so I was hoping that the Motorola would help since it has an external antenna. It may actually be worse indoors than the Nokia was. My fiance has the same Nokia I used to have, and it generally got bett ...

    The Motorola V60i is the newer verion of the V60. It's without a doubt, the best phone i have ever had. I have only couple of small complaints. Basically these are most towards the lack of accessories. I have some complaints about my reception at times but this is with my service provider (optus), not with my phone, and thus i will not put issues onto my phone which do not relate to it. Phone reception is as close to perfect as i can imagine, as is speaker quality. The phone is small and smooth ...
