Motorola V80

The Motorola V80 mobile phone is very good and lightweight, and if you look after it it works fine, but I noticed that my phone kept on crashing every time I opened my phone, so I took the bluetooth off and changed the spin picture, and my phone now works brilliantly.

I had the Motorola V80 mobile phone for 2 months. It was great at the time. The flashing lights are good, so is the way it opens, and the camera is also good, but that's about it.

I have had my v80 for about a year and a half now. Just under a year after I got it, the central green key broke off. Luckily, my phone had a 1 year warranty so I was able to have it fixed by the Carphone Warehouse in 20 minutes while I waited - very good service. That key has only broken off once but I am careful with the phone and don't often carry it around in my pocket, etc. One of my main problems with the phone, however, is the software. Ever since I bought this phone, it has been crashing frequently: if I try to carry out too many functions at once, the screen simply goes white and it takes about 30 seconds to reload to the main screen, however, I have then lost what I was doing, e.g. writing an SMS. Also, the phone's software has been known to crash in the middle of phone calls, cutting off the connection. Nowadays, my phone is crashing almost constantly if it is rotated from the open to shut position or vice-a-versa. Unfortunately, I now feel that I'm going to have to replace the phone, as it has become almost unusable. This is sad, as it has been a good phone otherwise. It has a good quality camera with a digital zoom, which, if in the right light, can take good quality photos. It also has many useful features in terms of automatic SMS clean-up, so that one's inbox never becomes full. This phone is also very eye-catching and eyes always turn when it is rotated. Interestingly, unlike many of the other motorola models, it has not flooded the market and so has not aged as quickly as other models such as the Motorola RZR. Overall, a stylish phone, but the Motorola software is awful and I think I will be returning to Nokia to buy my next phone.

No review as it broke straight away

The Motorola V80 mobile phone is a no-go. I have been through three phones, all of which have had exactly the same problems, and give a potentially stylish phone a very bad reputation because it cannot withstand normal wear and tear.

I've had my Motorola V80 mobile phone for about a year, and apart from it freezing three times I have had no problems. I love it. I'm not a fan of a lot of the handsets around at the moment, and have only just found a handset I like as much. The technology isn't great anymore, but still a respectable handset that I have no problems with at all. It looks cool, and people always admire it. It definitely has the WOW factor. It is a decent size, easy to use, and I personally have never had problems navigating the menus on this phone.

DO NOT BUY MOTOROLA I bought one a v80 last January for £200 it's got to be one of the worst phones I've owned due to all of the bad points above, the first 6 months were ok, but then it started to just play up all the time it would say insert sim or check it when I didn't need to. It's very slow, and was/is falling to pieces. After being very annoyed I sent it back and the network I am with said it would be two weeks I wasn't happy then they sent me a new one the same phone but new, ok for a few weeks but now it's doing the same and what's new is the camera is not working.

I have asked other people with Motorolas and they say the same things, basically there absloute rubbish. DO NOT BUY ONE.

When I first got my Motorola V80 mobile phone it was great, but it's been back to the shop twice now. First the sound went on it and just buzzed, then when you went to swivel it, it closed it and froze, and I had to take the battery out to unfreeze it!! I've given up on it now.

The Motorola V80 mobile phone is really good! I've had it for about 3 months, and it's worked out great. You just have to be really careful with the joystick because it's not very strong, so try not to be too strong with it. The phone does get slow at times, but it rarely happens. Since the screen is on the outside of the phone you have to get a leather case for it as soon as possible, because the screen can easily scratch. I haven't had any real problem with it! The speakers sound great, and everything works well. If you have just got your phone, or if you think your camera is very blurry, just open up your phone and see if your camera has a little plastic cover on it, and then it should look good.

I would recommend this phone, because for the 3 months I've had it, I have never had to get it repaired.

So far I've been luckier than my boyfriend, who also has this phone, even though I have still had some strange things happen. Sometimes the vibrate function won't vibrate. It often makes a loud dial tone type sound for no reason. The screen goes blank when trying to charge it. My boyfriend has had 5 replacements of this phone and can't wait for his contract to end, so he can get a different model. The whole thing has way too many bugs and should not have been released onto the market like this.
