Motorola MOTORAZR V8

Good old flip phone. Camera is good enough for the odd snap. Always has good reception and calls seem clean - but people often complain they can't hear me.

Biggest problem is totally useless firmware. Awful autotext: Makes stupid invalid suggestions e.g doesn't suggest "I'd" but suggests "I.d". Suggests "4real" even though I have never typed it). Badly designed menus are nearly useless (e.g. you have two options: ignore and dismiss. Aren't they the same?).

Anyhow, it's an old phone now.

Pros: I only like the design, nice and slim so you can fit it in pocket and purse.

Cons: IT has a short battery life, the buttons are hard to press and the surface scratches really easly.

Overall: This is not a good phone. Motorola are notorious for makeing bad, short lived batteries and they have not fixed it with this one. And really, in a mobile phone a major part is having it work all the time when your out and about. I also had trouble with texting because the buttons which are 'lasered' on, are really hard and stuborn to push. I like the slim design but wouldnt get another one, i feel the design is great but it could improved a great deal.

Had the original V3 and loved it, I expected this Motorola MOTORAZR V8 to be a more modern upgraded version of the original. Turns out that it is still pretty much the same as the original version that was out 5 years ago. A massive let down.

Flimsy. The hole bored out during manufacture for the built in speaker on the side of the flip has caused my phone to break due to wear and tear. Trying to convince Motorola this is proving difficult. Will never get this phone again.

I upgraded to the Motorola MOTORAZR V8 phone two months ago, loved it at first but after 3 days it started to turn itself off and then power up again when i was in the middle of sending a text or even on a call!!!

I am now currently on my THIRD handset after experiencing the exact problem with the replacement handset and surprise surprise the same problem has now occurred and I'm pulling my hair out!! All TMobile want to do is repair it yet again.

Motorola V8 is really a great phone!!! It is so beautiful and reliable and offers good options! I think that it's easy to use and offers a real comfort by calling and texting!

Thought I would love my Motorola MOTORAZR V8 as I did my last Motorola. What a mistake. I was in an emergency situation this weekend and needed to make a call and could not as the phone had jammed. That is what I thought mobile phones were for. Cannot wait to change it.

The Motorola MOTORAZR V8 seemed like a good phone with lots of features, but unless you have time to study the manual and learn them all, I don't think there are that many useful features anyway.
