Changed from a Nokia N91 because it was a big handset. The Nokia menu, phonebook, diary & organizer are all so much better than the Motorola offering.
If you want a sexy sleak phone and only want to make calls, well this is fine, but if you want more, such as functions to organise your life, or a good camera, or a video camera that records more than 55 seconds, don't get this. It looks fantastic, but its really a very average phone.

The Motorola V3i is funky, looks nice and I love the flip action in a mobile phone, however the bluetooth is painfully slow to transfer files and the camera is like a basic £10 VGA digital camera, not worth having.
A great phone when I first had it and I still like it, but the spread of the V3 means that now everyone has one.

I was initially interested in the Motorola V3i as I haven't previously had a flip phone, and I decided to voyage into the unknown. I wish I hadn't bothered! If I'd know that a flip phone would double the size of the phone making it feel like the mobile phone 'bricks' of yesteryear, then I wouldn@t have bothered.

Being used to the Nokia's easy navigation, this was very difficult to use, with confusing messages popping up on screen about how much memory has been used when I didn't know I'd even done anything to use any?! Bizarre! I couldn't get on with the texting methods in predictive text either.

On the plus side, the camera picture quality was good. However, that's not really the main feature I need from a phone. I have a camera that does that job perfectly!

If you're used to Nokia's then steer clear. If you want to keep more than 20 messages in the memory, then also steer clear.
The V3i has since gone back...!
