V65p and Verizon All Crap
I Never get service you cant get any cool ring tones and it's not a good phone for business or personal use. It Lacks any and everything you want in a phone. Verizon is the same i have 3 phones a sidekick 2 it always has service( t mobile is great) A nextel i850 ( I love this phone service is pretty good) and this v65p. So just so you know verizon is just like the commercial your just running around seeing if the person on the line can hear you now which they never can. VZW Biggest mistake i ever made. Get cingular. By the way I live in Chicago and Atlanta and have lived in L A Same everywhere. The Only Nice thing about this phone is it's small.
Excellent choice for Motorola users looking for an update!
Though I've only had my Motorola V65p two weeks, it's been long enough for an extensive phone user like me to know I'm well-pleased with my choice. I was previously the owner of a V60i, and though this model shares many external parts with that phone (I can use the same charger, belt clip, and battery), the similarity largely ends there.
This phone has new larger displays (which is the only reason V60 faceplates won't work without slight modification), the internal being color, an updated keypad, a speakerphone (which makes the body thicker than the V60âs), and a redesigned extendable antenna that can screw out (rather than break off).
Familiar to Motorola users is the menu setup and personalization options, along with tools common to most Motorola phones for a few years now: Datebook (now with monthly view), Voice Record, Calculator, Voice Dial, and many more. New is the color screen, which enhances the web browser and gaming experiences. This phone has the Get It Now feature which opens up a world of games and ringtones (at a price).
The color display, Get It Now, and speakerphone can be hard on a battery; fortunately, Verizon sells this model with an extra-capacity battery. Reception is better than on my V60i, but this may be due to Verizon's more extensive network. The only major flaw I find is that Verizon disables their phonesâ ability to transfer pictures and ringtones directly (and hence, freely) between the handset and a PC.
With the addition of a USB data cable, the V65p becomes a ready-to-use USB modem. This means that you can plug it into your laptop and dial into the Internet from wherever you are, even without subscribing to Verizon's Mobile Web service. The connection speed is only 14.4K, but it can be a lifesaver on the road when no WLAN hotspot is available.
The Motorola V65p has made an excellent replacement for my V60i, and I would recommend it to any other Motorola V60-series user looking for an update (and a little color in their world).
