Motorola V710
Average Ratings
over hyped
If you are getting this phone because of the camera you have been misled. The camera needs to be shot in bright light..the flash is a joke. The mp3 player is decent but definetly could use some button functionality once the phone is closed.
Pros: Pretty durable phone..its no sanyo but its durable..I once got out of my phone at wally world and my phone clipped my door and was send skidding across the parking lot 20 or so feet..I picked it up to only find a barely noticeable scratch.
It does have an mp3 player...
the external display is actually very sharp and you can change it a wapping four ways(this used to be cool)
Cons:Starts sucking battery life just after a few months
it often hits either a memory leak or just decides to crap out and it restarts.
If you have qwest you can't use any of its media or web functions.
If you have a bluetooth headset a glitch becomes apparently called eats your battery within the hour.
get a pda..not this phone

by far the worst ever
i have never owned a phone that i wanted to literally smash to pieces more than this junk. i was very disappointed with the phone in many aspect. it was my first flip-style phone.
pros:
-----------
+volume sufficient
+voice recognition excellent
+display good
cons:
------------
-horrible reception
-awful battery life
-blue-tooth kills the battery
-internal mechanisms (microchips) failed with US Cellular and phone replaced 3 times.
-voice dial sometimes restarted (annoying!)
-camera is trash
i didn't know a phone could be so bad. i was very disappointed in this phone and wouldn't even sell it for parts. In fact, when I replace it, i am going to hit it many times with a hammer (i will wear safety goggles)

don't trust motorola!
well i had 2 LG phones that i loved but then i got this motorola v10...worst decision ever made! it's a cute phone and everything, but poor quality, just like all motorola phones. this is the second one ive had in the past 2 months, so i'm going back to my last LG phone
pros:
-cute phone
-video(15 secs only)
-big screens
cons:
-picture and video quality is bad
-it doesn't always ring and when it does it isn't always the right ringer
-only holds 5 downloaded ringers(2 come on the phone, so really only 3)
-you can't set voice records as ringtones
-hard to type texts
-cuts off for no reason
-battery life is sooo bad, charges all night yet goes dead in 5 hrs
-oh and it very often quits anything i'm doing and says "no signal" when i have full signal, then a few seconds later it returns to full signal
-doesn't let me send texts alot
-doesn't let me call out alot
-light on phone for camera is completely useless
-can't use the light for videos
-the antenna doesn't stay down,the headphone and memory card covers don't stay down
-battery cover is a PAIN to take off
-gets scratches from opening it
so as you can see, this is not a good phone at all, and i wouldn't recommend anything from motorola, if your service has the option, definately check out LG, they are the best.

GOOD PHONE/BAD VERIZON!!
I liked this phone when I bought it, back in May of 2005 ,Liked the Speakerphone,Camera, MP3Player, TRANS-FLASH memory. but now the phone is Crashing,Freezing,says the memory card is full when it isn't, I'm using the FIRST version, there is a new version that disables custom MP3 ring-tones longer that -30sec and bigger that 300k. I'm upgrading my phones software tomorrow, hope fully that will fix it all.
PROS:
Camera Phone W/Removable Memory
Basic MP3 Player
(for now) SHORT custom MP3 Ring-tones
GREAT signal quality
Speaker Phone
CONS:
CLITCHES (with first version software)
Keypad in center row too small
Won't VIB&RING at same time
(this may seem stupid to some)but,
COLOR screen, would rather have B&W screen so I wouldn't have to press button to see time.
NEW software disables Custom MP3 ring-tones longer that 30-40sec and file size no bigger than 300k.
But I guess in the long run it's better than nothing. just ,make a new version like the Motorola V360 just for CDMA instead.

Brought back this phone after a day
This phone is horrible. Brought this back after a day's use and got the 8000. Bluetooth is not fully supported and I did not want to go through all the aggrivation like everyone. Now, I am happy.
