I have no idea what everyone's crying about. It sounds like most other users ran theirs through all the house appliances before reviewing it! The cam is low resolution, so what did you expect? 8 MP + low light and macro? I have great phone performance. No problems at all. Texting, phone, all just fine! The cam always works (never thought I'd use it but I have at least 50 pics in it) There is one loud ring, I just use that all the time. Battery is fantastic! Always get a good signal and it works out of the country! Super compact - never bothers me in my pocket!

It was my first Motorola phone and I was not as happy with it as I was with my previous Nokia phones. <br /><br />Pros: *note: it was hard to find this many pros*<br />-nice size<br />-full housings are available (some phones you can't change)<br />-loud ring tones if you set them to loud<br />-easy to navigate menus<br />-with cingular service it has good reception<br />-ringer id<br />-picture id (if you don't have your phone set to answer the phone when you flip it open.. if you have it set this way then this is pointless)<br />-the keypad ISN'T like the razr phones : )<br /><br />Cons:<br />-speaker phone is horrible<br />-doesn't handle falls well: gets scratched easy, and the screen goes blank and it takes a long time for it to turn off and restart again<br />-horrible camera: pictures aren't clear, camera breaks easy (I have had two v220s, I dropped my first one in a sink full of water, both phones I had the cameras died quickly..it just comes up a black screen then it goes back to the menu)<br />-not enough memory for pictures, games and ring tones<br />-if you use text messaging the battery dies quickly<br />-the ring tones that come with it aren't good<br />-shuts off for no reason at all and then either takes a long time to find service or read the sim card<br />-occasionally at random times it says it can't read the sim card<br />-although games are available, you have to pay for them.. there are non on the phone when you get it<br /><br />Overall it's an ok phone for free (if you sign up with Cingular) I usually get a new phone every two years when I sign a new contract but I can't wait to get rid of this phone, I actually just ordered a new Motorola Pebl U6 and can't wait till it arrives!</p> <p><i>(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)</i></p> https://www.phonescoop.com/phones/p_forum.php?ff=467 https://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=467&r=19842#review19842 https://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=467&r=19842#review19842 Sun, 12 Nov 2006 06:57:36 GMT <p><i>prettyprincesscorn submitted this review of the Motorola V220:</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>0</b> (out of 5)</p><p>I purchased this phone from ebay and had Cingular service, and this phone was horrible..<br /><br />All my calls had a lot of static and I had too many dropped calls to count..<br /><br />If you drop the phone, you might as well get a new one. After the first time I dropped this phone, the front LCD screen got all messed up and I couldn't read it. After I opened the phone the screen was black. I tried to restart the phone about 20 times and no luck.. After about an hour, it finally worked again..<br /><br />The camera is pointless, the pictures are not good at all, and sometimes, I just get a black screen..<br /><br />I was very disappointed with this phone and it made me hestitant to buying a Motorola phone again..<br /><br />Do not waste your money on this phone..</p> <p><i>(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)</i></p> https://www.phonescoop.com/phones/p_forum.php?ff=467 https://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=467&r=19481#review19481 https://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=467&r=19481#review19481 Tue, 24 Oct 2006 08:12:28 GMT <p><i>lotherius submitted this review of the Motorola V220:</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>2</b> (out of 5)</p><p>It worked.... for maybe 18 mos. at best. I used it with Cingular.<br /><br />When the phone was 10 mos. old my room-mate, who talked on it a lot more than me, told me that it would turn off on her randomly. That didn't happen to me until a few months later.<br /><br />Then, at 18 mos (6 mos. left on the 2 year contract!), the earpiece died. I could only use it on speakerphone.<br /><br />Did I mention nobody can understand you on speakerphone with this phone?<br /><br />The camera actually worked for me for the entire time I had this phone, though I never tried it after the earpiece went bad. Like others on this site, however, I was dismayed at how easily the phone scratched. I bought a case to cover the phone, that turned out to be useless since the case ITSELF scratched up the finish on the phone. By the time I quit using the phone, none of the reflective surface around the camera was left, and the paint was worn off all over the phone. It looked like trash.<br /><br />Reception was mediocre. I've seen worse, but not much. The old Nokia 5160 I had before this was MUCH better, too bad Cingular quit activating that one for me.<br /><br />PROS:<br />Shiny when new.<br />USB port, no need for a special cable! <br />MP3 Ringtones<br /><br />CONS:<br />Have to buy the software to use the USB.<br />Scratches very easily.<br />Camera quality sub-par.<br />Mediocre reception.</p> <p><i>(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)</i></p> https://www.phonescoop.com/phones/p_forum.php?ff=467 https://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=467&r=19215#review19215 https://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=467&r=19215#review19215 Sun, 08 Oct 2006 22:14:59 GMT <p><i>suewamp submitted this review of the Motorola V220:</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>1</b> (out of 5)</p><p>I have had the V220 for over a year now, WORST PHONE EVER!!

It hasn't even been a year so I'm hoping my warranty will still do something for me. Okay why am I complaining:for starters that camera doesn't work. I get a blank screen which is black and then the thing just goes out and this isn't the first time I've heard about the phone doing this, my friend had the same problem. At times my phone can't send or receive text messages, so I have to take the sim card out and blow the phone and put it back in. But how do I know that it isn't working. I don't, after about a day or two you start to wonder why people haven't been texting you. And thats the problem. And then the raggedy thing is always freezing up. It scratches like no other phone in the world. Oh and for those who want to know. They don't even sell the phone anymore. They took it off the shelves, you can't even find a charger from your service provider. I TOOK IT TO THE REPAIR SHOP SHE TOLD ME NOT TO WASTE MY TIME FIXING IT BECAUSE ITS DEFECTIVE AND MOTOROLA KNOWS IT AND THEY DON'T CARE!!!!!!!!!!!</p> <p><i>(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)</i></p> https://www.phonescoop.com/phones/p_forum.php?ff=467 https://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=467&r=17985#review17985 https://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=467&r=17985#review17985 Sat, 29 Jul 2006 18:21:00 GMT <p><i>tischmic submitted this review of the Motorola V220:</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>0</b> (out of 5)</p><p>This phone sucks it has no features and breaks easily, the screen is small and the picture quality sucks!</p> <p><i>(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)</i></p> https://www.phonescoop.com/phones/p_forum.php?ff=467 https://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=467&r=17863#review17863 https://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=467&r=17863#review17863 Sun, 23 Jul 2006 03:38:49 GMT <p><i>Cingularmami submitted this review of the Motorola V220:</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>5</b> (out of 5)</p><p>This was my first flip phone and it was love at first sight, I loved everything about it, it was a nice phone, it was good to me took me through alot of times i broke it, &amp; cried until my daddy got me another one i named this phone babymomma. <br /><br />so here are some good things... .. ..<br /><br />small<br />good camera (i loveeeeeeed this camera)<br />easy to navigate<br />good volume<br /><br />the only bad thing i can name is that spooky ringtone. why motorola? why did you out that spooky tone on the phone? i feel like yall knew better than to do that.<br /><br />i think that if youre looking for a nice camera phone for cheap this is the one you should get.</p> <p><i>(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)</i></p> https://www.phonescoop.com/phones/p_forum.php?ff=467 https://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=467&r=17777#review17777 https://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=467&r=17777#review17777 Tue, 18 Jul 2006 16:04:58 GMT <p><i>jkieffer submitted this review of the Motorola V220:</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>1</b> (out of 5)</p><p>Pros:<br />Small.<br />Customizable controls.<br />Better reception than my v60.<br />Super Collapse (not included) is a great way to pass time while in the can.<br />Alarm could wake the dead.<br /><br />Cons:<br />Likes to restart every now and then, usually while I'm composing a text message.<br />Stopped sending pictures.<br />Earphone quit working, first I could get it to work by half opening it, now I'm on speaker-phone only.<br />Back cover falls off with the slightest nudge.<br />Volume could be better.<br />Not enough memory.<br />Battery is junk.<br /><br />Overall I would only recommend this to someone I really didn't like, I'd be worse punishment than buying each of their children a drum.<br /><br />I hope my Nokia 6102 that I just ordered is better, it should be judging by the reviews (should have found this site before getting this Motorola piece of *insert explicative here*).</p> <p><i>(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)</i></p> https://www.phonescoop.com/phones/p_forum.php?ff=467 https://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=467&r=17525#review17525 https://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=467&r=17525#review17525 Fri, 07 Jul 2006 10:26:13 GMT <p><i>heyy. im chelseyyyy submitted this review of the Motorola V220:</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>4</b> (out of 5)</p><p>okayyy...well you mightt kno me as chelsiscellphonecrzy (corny i kno)well i forgot my password for that name sooo i startedd a new nameee<br />okayy..sooo i've had this phone for about 8 months noww and it's been pretty good,you kno, for how cheap it was i say it was worthhh ittt<br /><br /><br />PROS=]<br />*nicee colorr displayyy<br />*aim instant messengerrr ( a deff. must haveee forr a teenaged gurl like meeee =])<br />*camera has zoomm.<br />*mp3 ringtoness=]<br />*usually has a good signal(cingularrr)<br /><br /><br />CONS=[<br />*no flashh on cameraa<br />*scratches pretty easilyy( ohh boyy, you shouldd see minee!)<br />*it can be sloww,like when i got to the main menu, it can take a while sometimess..<br />*Blahhh,speakerphone suckks!<br />*ummm...thats all i can think of for mee</p> <p><i>(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)</i></p> https://www.phonescoop.com/phones/p_forum.php?ff=467
