It would kick me off and send me back to the main menu. Then it would decide that it would not let me add anymore contacts.<br /><br />The ear piece speaker quit working altogether and the only way I could hear people, during my calls, was with the speaker phone.</p> <p><i>(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)</i></p> http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/p_forum.php?ff=247 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=247&r=37684#review37684 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=247&r=37684#review37684 Sat, 14 Aug 2010 13:12:36 GMT <p><i>clutchxp submitted this review of the Motorola V600:</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>3</b> (out of 5)</p><p>I had this phone with AT&amp;T and it worked okay for a while.

The only way I could hear people was through the speaker phone.<br /><br />- Trying to move contacts to the SIM card was a hassle. The phone would allow me to add a random amount of contacts (first it may be 10 and then 4 if I tried again) and then kick me off to the multimedia area of the phone.<br /><br />This phone gets three out of five stars because of the cons listed above.</p> <p><i>(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)</i></p> http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/p_forum.php?ff=247 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=247&r=33712#review33712 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=247&r=33712#review33712 Wed, 13 May 2009 01:54:54 GMT <p><i>crkclrdgrl submitted this review of the Motorola V600:</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>1</b> (out of 5)</p><p>I purchased this phone when I first signed up with AT&amp;T, before they were the AT&amp;T of today. The phone worked great and the bells and whistles on it were great but after a while, it started malfuncioning. One of the problems was the speaker in the earpiece stopped working altogether and the only way to be able to hear what the other person was saying was on speakerphone. That was just one issue of many I had with this device. I was thoroughly disappointed with this product and I do not recommend it to anyone.</p> <p><i>(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)</i></p> http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/p_forum.php?ff=247 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=247&r=24120#review24120 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=247&r=24120#review24120 Fri, 13 Jul 2007 19:24:09 GMT <p><i>Tauro72 submitted this review of the Motorola V600:</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>3</b> (out of 5)</p><p>Almost as soon as this phone became available I got for my self, the problem is that it cam under a GSM network that happened to be very bad at the time, if it had not been for that, this phone would had lasted longer in the shelves.<br /><br />Ever since this phone came out, it started changing the phone design/looks in the USA eventually getting to the RAZR and other models.</p> <p><i>(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)</i></p> http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/p_forum.php?ff=247 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=247&r=22638#review22638 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=247&r=22638#review22638 Tue, 24 Apr 2007 05:08:40 GMT <p><i>jesse_505 submitted this review of the Motorola V600:</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>3</b> (out of 5)</p><p>I have had three Nokia phones before this, and received this phone for free from a friend only a few months ago, so it was well used but still working well. It is a nice looking phone, but mine is very scratched and new covers are expensive. <br /><br />Pros: The bluetooth is good, the screen is pretty good, the camera is nice. It feels nice to hold and is attractive.<br /><br />Cons: The phone is really slow to react when typing SMS's etc, probably due to the fact that I type reasonably fast. All the buttons are opposite to Nokia, even the red/green. Memory isn't all that great, no expansion slot. I find that the flip bit registers as open too soon, sometimes it opens just a crack when I am pulling it out of my pocket and it hangs up on whoever is calling me. The stupid Motorola 'volume changing' noise drives me nuts, as it makes the noise in my pocket when the volume keys are bumped. Without locking the Ring Styles menu, the profile can be changed with the smart key, which is clever but happens accidentally all the time.<br /><br />Yes, I know I'm being a bit fussy but it's the little things that are annoying. Probably having the phone from new would have impressed me more.<br />Overall, it's not a bad phone, but personally I prefer Nokia's.</p> <p><i>(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)</i></p> http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/p_forum.php?ff=247 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=247&r=22173#review22173 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=247&r=22173#review22173 Wed, 21 Mar 2007 19:35:21 GMT <p><i>jdillingham submitted this review of the Motorola V600:</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>5</b> (out of 5)</p><p>I bought this phone the day it came out in 2004. It has been a damn good phone and lasted through many drops, kicks, spills, etc. As a matter of fact, I bought an HTC Wizard a few months ago and ended up going back to this phone (not because the wizard was a bad phone, but just because I never used it for what it was made for). I plan on ditching this phone though for a KRZR in a few days, but I will always hang on to it as a backup. Don't let anyone tell you the V600 sucks, because it was way ahead of it's time (in 04 it was one of maybe 5 phones that had bluetooth) not to mention it's extremely durable.</p> <p><i>(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)</i></p> http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/p_forum.php?ff=247 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=247&r=21792#review21792 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=247&r=21792#review21792 Sat, 24 Feb 2007 03:17:03 GMT <p><i>cac submitted this review of the Motorola V600:</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>4</b> (out of 5)</p><p>I got this phone in spring of '05.

Came back...still had 2 out of 3 left)<br /><br />And then...it died. I don't know if it's because I dropped it a few times...but I'm really clumsy and my old phones survived quite well.<br /><br />So, after around 15 months, the cons showed up:<br />*earpiece died. (this seems like a common problem)<br /><br />...taking all calls on speakerphone wouldn't have been that bad...except:<br />*you can only access the speakerphone around 3-5 seconds into the call. Which really sucks.<br /><br />I absolutely loved this phone, but I had to get a new one (I would've gladly gotten another v600, but I can't find one anywhere!).</p> <p><i>(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)</i></p> http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/p_forum.php?ff=247 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=247&r=18985#review18985 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=247&r=18985#review18985 Wed, 27 Sep 2006 18:31:06 GMT <p><i>alex_velociti submitted this review of the Motorola V600:</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>4</b> (out of 5)</p><p>I'm gonna say that this phone has treated me the best.<br /><br />I've had:<br />motorola t710?<br />motorola v600<br />sony z500<br />sony t637<br /><br />and i just ordered a v620 earlier....<br /><br />Out of all of the phones ( although not that many), the v600 has treated me the best.

It was amazing! I loved the polyphonic and mp3 ringtones that it had, the event lights, the big screen, the fact that it was a quad band phone, the video playback, etc. I loved everything about this phone! However, I did hear from other people (not on here, but elsewhere) about the V600 having issues and that it was recalled due to those issues, but I had no problems with my V600. I highly recommend it for people who love to have all of the latest features on it and who don't care about not having the video record feature (which the V620, the upgrade of the V600 has). It's a great phone all in all. I found nothing wrong with it.</p> <p><i>(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)</i></p> http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/p_forum.php?ff=247 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=247&r=17035#review17035 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=247&r=17035#review17035 Sat, 10 Jun 2006 16:43:49 GMT <p><i>nachtmuzic submitted this review of the Motorola V600:</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>2.5</b> (out of 5)</p><p>This was my first motorola phone. I was having a great time with it for the first few weeks, especially the glowing lights on the front, when it started ti shut down on its own. TMobile said there were known problems with the software and they offered to take it back and exchange it for the v330. So even though i only had the v600 for a few weeks, i really did like it, except when it started to power itself off and freeze up at random times.

It has a great desing and the circular multicolored LED in the front makes it look really attractive. I'm using it with Orange, a carrier in Dominican Republic. (I think it is a branch of an European carrier, not so sure about that). I use my cellphone a lot sometimes, so it gets hard job everyday. <br /><br />It is a great cellphone to have. If you look for something simple and functional. Maybe it is not as good as its brother, the V635, but it sure works fine.<br /><br /><br />PRO's:<br /><br />-Quad-band: makes it recieve signal almost everywhere and anytime. I've been in far away places and even with one bar of signal it has worked perfectly.<br /><br />-Easy to use menus: every option is easy to access through the menus.<br /><br />-Personalized LED light: you can select a multicolored LED display for an specific contact or category.<br /><br />-Frontal LED display: Shows time, streng of signal, battery life, bluetooth, type of network, calls, messages, SMS's, datebook appointments, photos taken (with closed flip), and almost every option of the phone.<br /><br />-Speaker: excellent sound, and it goes really loud. You can also hear you MP3's with it.<br /><br />-External Voice dialing button: makes it easier to use voice dialing. Push the button, speak the namen and it dials it automatically or manually.<br /><br />-Style Rings: very simple, Loud, Soft, Vibrate, Vibrate and Ring, and my favorite, Silent.<br /><br />-Bluetooth: works excellent, really fast, and detects almost all devices (there's a CON about this option).<br /><br />-Battery life: I left the phone on for 5 1/2 days and it displayed low batter at night of the fifth day, (Standby usage). Daily usage showed that it can handle up to 4 days without charging.<br /><br />-Multimedia: MP3 support, MotoMixer allows you to create a sound. Themes looks great on it, video playback, camera, background picture and screen saver option, supports JPG and GIF. <br /><br />-Continues-</p> <p><i>(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)</i></p> http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/p_forum.php?ff=247 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=247&r=13407#review13407 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=247&r=13407#review13407 Tue, 29 Nov 2005 08:16:29 GMT <p><i>USA1600 submitted this review of the Motorola V600:</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>4</b> (out of 5)</p><p>I must say I'm not sure what all the fuss is about the V600. I've read all these reviews saying how terrible it is. I used an unlocked V600 from Motorola purchased on ebay for almost a year before getting the RAZR and never experienced any of the problems that I've seen others mention so much. My battery life was always excellent. The sound quality was great on both the internal and external speaker. It marked a much needed return to a basic ring tone for those who don't need the entire Billboard Hot 100 on their phone. I dropped it a few times and noticed no reduction in quality. I even dropped it in a shallow puddle of water and noticed no change. I will admit the charge mechanism did not need to be so cumbersome. The charger doesn't lock in securely enough. The Bluetooth could use work. It disconnects from the device way to easily. You can imagine the irritation of the phone ringing and you press your earpiece only to realize it's no longer connected. <br />It is overall a fine phone that still beats many newer models in terms of looks. It's structurally sound because of the metal housing.<br />I've heard that people paid like $400.00 for the V600 when it debuted. Trust me, even the best phone is not worth that much. Patience will save you a lot of money. And it's often the first units that are plagued with bugs.</p> <p><i>(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)</i></p> http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/p_forum.php?ff=247 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=247&r=13315#review13315 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=247&r=13315#review13315 Thu, 24 Nov 2005 23:41:42 GMT <p><i>merwede submitted this review of the Motorola V600:</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>1</b> (out of 5)</p><p>I am the troubled owner of the old "flagship" Motorola V600!

Started out OK with the phone save the bad camera quality (awful looking pictures regardless of lighting and zoom settings) and sporadic reception when indoors. But after a few months of use I was unable to get any reception indoors and very little outside as well. It started to drop calls constantly and I hadn't dropped it or exposed it to water or anything like that. <br /><br />I sent it in for repair to Motorola and the first time they took 2 weeks to get it back to me. Unfortunately, they didn't fix a thing on the phone as they had claimed. I sent it back to them again, they agreed to put a rush on the repair and this time it took me almost 2 weeks again to get it back from them. Like before they claimed it was fixed and that they had replaced some of the components in the phone. When I tried to use it - same problem. Needless to say I got a supervisor involved (which was a chore in itself) and sent it back to them for the 3rd time. Yet another 2 weeks and they finally had to just replace the phone because they couldn't figure out what was wrong with the it. <br /><br /> Pretty incompetent techs who after 6 weeks in their possession still didn't have a clue. Unfortunately they sent me the same model as a replacement and now a month later it is starting to show signs of doing the same thing.<br /><br />Pros - I can't think of one at all. <br /><br />Cons - I bought it because of all the features that it had - international calling (tried to use it once for a business trip to Mexico, activated the feature and nobody could reach me at all), camera (awful quality), mobile Internet (very slow loading - ends up costing you a fortune to use), and it was supposed to be quite advanced as far as connectivity is concerned and that didn't pan out too well either.<br /> <br /><br />I will never waste my time with Motorola or any of their products again!</p> <p><i>(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)</i></p> http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/p_forum.php?ff=247 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=247&r=12942#review12942 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=247&r=12942#review12942 Mon, 07 Nov 2005 12:36:37 GMT <p><i>Cappy submitted this review of the Motorola V600:</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>5</b> (out of 5)</p><p>Overall it's a very nice phone. I've heard some bad reviews about bugs but so far I've seen none. No dropped calls on the Cingular network. Was originally a T-Mobile phone and I flash/flexed it to Cingular and everything has worked fine since. Nice camera, takes decent pics and seem to be better than my LG1400 pics. Reception is great on the Cingular network here in Minneapolis and greater Minnesota. Only cons I can think of are I wish speakerphone could be activated without having to connect first, the addressbook is a little awkward but you get used to it, and I like the voice activation feature. It's a very nice looking phone and it gives good value. Might have been overpriced when it came out but since I picked mine up cheaply as it was used I can't complain there either.</p> <p><i>(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)</i></p> http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/p_forum.php?ff=247
