21. Great phone

8 Jun 2006 by eddsmetz

92%9.2out of 10

I purchased this phone two months ago and it is well worth it. The speaker is awesome, the battery life is pretty long, and the screen is amazing. The camera is adequate, and I like the video feature. I am bummed a bit by Verizon not letting you download mp3's directly to the phone...darn GET IT NOW.

I am looking into that one. Overall, I highly recommend this phone!!!

I was in love with this phone as soon as I bought it!
It has SO many features in which you can customize it [such as wallpaper, skin, everything!]

When I went to buy the E815, the seller there had one too! He also said almost everyone he knows at Verizon has an E815!

-Really good reception
-Big screen, easy to see pictures.
-volume is loud
-picture quality really nice!
-A LOTTTT to customize! [i love this the most]
-if you buy a little memory card, you can transfer files onto your phone
-up to 15 sec. of video recording

23. No Good...

I am usually a faithful Samsung phone user, but when I switched to Verizon I decided to step outside my comfort zone and purchase this Motorola E815. BIG MISTAKE! This phone freezes and deletes stores pictures just because it feels like it. I have ringtones set for different people on my contact list and the phone decided it would be to scramble those around too. SUCKS! The speaker quality is good and the MP3 player works fine. But overall a bad purchase decision.

24. The Motorola E815

10 Jan 2006 by Cingular RepTmobile customer

90%9out of 10

I am a Cing rep and have Tmobile service. I currecntly have the Sidekick2 and it is horrible. Cing has had a lot of issues w Mot. However, this model has not been recalled, or any known issues have not been placed into our systems. Verizon has the best Customer Serivce ratings, phone qualities, least recorded recalls and backorders, and is tied with Tmobile in plan ratings. I have done a lot of research on this phone that I have recently purchased. I have so far only found that 1 of 20 callers finds this model not good enough for their liking. Customers are always compairing phones to others they have had in the past. If this is the case, let me inform you of my past phones. I had the original candybar Cricket phone and several replacements to it... it would not hold a charge, powered off occassionally, display blanked out, and could not hear other party very well. Then the Kyocera slider was not much better the keypad was too small (and I have tiny slinder fingers and hands) the speaker went out often, did not receive most of my calls, and voicemail was hard to access. The Mot V220... blank display, not charging, cannot hear other party, camera was weak, too fragile, and charger was loose. The Mot v3 Razr (silver and black)always had display, battery, speaker, ringer, and camera issues. Sidekick 1 and 2. The first one was better, however, not receiving half my calls a day, limited in service, network unavailability and call failures and numerous dropped calls, speaker fading in and out, hearing static and running water and fizzling in all conversations, and keypad goes out too easily. I have had numerous replacements with all phones I have just discussed. However, I see it as if it's dependable then try it. Phones are going to have technical and electrical issues; they are mini computers. Look at how far cell phones have come and yet they are still not able to please the simple and ignorant minded. If you actually worked through Warranty Exchange and had to research phones on a reg basis, then maybe you would understand and respect what we have today instead of demanding more. I work in Customer Care and Warranty Exchange and I am only 18 years old. I am appreciative of what the previous generations has brought us to today. Why can't you ignorant complaining people get it through your minds that if you want ceratin features so bad for a specific price, then YOU go out and make your own phone and see exactly how difficult it is.

25. Can't say I'd recommend

6 Jan 2006 by Timmy

Can't say I'm pleased with the E815, had it for 2 months and it resorted to the same cr@pola I've had with all my past Motorola phones. Dropped calls, battery life non-existent, and ghetto recharger port failing. I'm looking at the LG 8100 right now, it seemed to have lots of problems out of the box, but the recent releases with updated firmware appear to have addressed them. I read on-line reviews and the E815 finally seemed to have shed Motorola's penchant for shoddy quality, guess not. My brother and cousing have never had any issues with their LG's, a 6000 & 6100 and I was always taking my Moto's in for something. The Moto did appear to have better RF service, but what does that matter when the phone falls apart, won't hold a change, and drops calls. I hope to have better luck with the LG I guess.

26. An EXCELLENT choice!

I have been with Verizon Wireless since 2001 and I have seen that plethora aof nasty phones that they go through. They have had hell with Kyocera and Audiovox. Nokia is OK but they don't offer ANY features. Samsung lacks design and LGs fall apart quickly. This leaves Motorola who recently has had a re-birth with Verizon and now together they are releasing excellent phones and expanding the 3G network. This phone is superior to its CDMA and GSM copmetition. Its brothers and sister are catching a lot of good attention, too (ie RAZR V3c, V710). Right now, I you want a great Verizon phone that works superior as a phone, get this or the RAZR. If you want the stronger battery and the famous Motorola features, then get the E815. Also, Verizon did not get the cahnce to destroy the phone with their red UI and V-Cast logos. I love my E815, and I am pretty sure that almost everybody else does too.

27. THE HATERS

I dont have a problem with you dogging the e815 but to compare it to the sanyo 8100 is terrible. I am in the industry and I guaranty ive seen a lot more 8100s in for repair then the e815 will ever see. And considering the people at sanyo know nothing about there product or support it.You should bow to the e815 and motorolas customer service not the best in the industry but much better then sanyos or lg!

28. maximum memory

Hello,
I have an MOTO E815 with 512MB transflash. I have loaded over 100 MP3 songs with over 400MB used. It works fine. The trick is the song file names must be less than 32 characters to be visible in the phone.

30. Not the best but works...

15 Nov 2005 by Unknown

The Motorola E815 is not the greatest phone out there but is decent. The phone's design is clean and the color coordination gives it a nice touch.
The camera quality on this phone is horrible. If your looking to take A grade pictures then better keep looking. The video is decent during the day but most of the time choppy. The flash on the camera is completely useless. Only thing the flash is good for is if your stuck out in the woods and is butt dark with no flashlight. A decent feature of the camera I would say is the ability to turn on your camera and take a picture without even opening your phone. Cool trick when you don't have anyone to take a picture for you.
The MP3 playback is a plus and the sound quality is pretty good. The only thing I still haven't figured out for this phone yet is to convert the mp3's in your memory card to be used as a ringtone for incoming calls.
Storage and space in the phone is high. So if your a picture whore then snap away at your semi-decent picture quality because you can store pictures all day long. With the memory space in the phone they should allow longer video capture time. 15 seconds is not much of a clip nor a video at all.
The E815 is not user friendly. It has a lot of bullcrap that you really don't seem to need or in fact never even know you had. I've had a motorola phone before this one a while back and user interface is still the same. LG's are very user friendly but I can't say the same for the style of the phones. It's pretty damn ugly.
Some of the features on the phone should be edited as well. You can't change the background to a certain color when entering your own background. When you set a picture as a background, which ever skin you may have on at the time, there will be a border of that color over and below the picture. Unless you stretch the picture to cover it and destroy what little picture quality you have left, you stuck with 3 background colors. Or you can tile it to keep the quality but have repeating images.
The nifty front lcd that shows which ever background you have on your main lcd was a cool trick the v710 doesn't. I had the V710 for 4 months and compared to the E815 its a piece of crap. But besides the point the tool features and shortcuts are a plus on this phone. It's BT compatible and also has Vcast one of the two phone's in verizon currently which has this ability.
Another default that Motoronla still hasn't changed is the charger for their phones. It's a piece of crap and flimsy. It doesn't even feel like its charging. Over a period of time charging this phone is a problem. The bottem piece on your phone which connects to the outlet charger gets loose or moved into the phone, making it harder to charge or not even be able to charge at all.
This phone is typically a short term use phone. Don't expect to keep this for a long period of time. But for the short run its a really cool phone to use and at the same time you learn how most motorola user interface is like. If your looking for a long term phone I would go with Samsung or LG.
