ok. I have had this phone since dec of 08. I first and i got the us. cellular rumor and that phone was the worst phone i have ever had. My mom got the Vegas so I decided to get it too. I love to take pictures. and this phone takes AWESOME pictures. But i soon found out that i should really start to put them on my memory card. So i wanted to transfer the pictures  over to my memory card and the phone froze up then it shut off. I was mad. So i decided to delete the pictures. It did the same thing. My phone battery is crap. I always text my friends. I would charge my phone but a couple hours later i have to charge it again. My mom took me into the us cellular store to do the battery swap thing now my battery lasts a couple hours longer. I dont like the boring look of the music player. I dont like the keyboard that much because it is harder it clean. My inside screen is really scratched up. My phone likes to sqeek when i open it. tho my mom never has any problems with her vegas.

Pros

-Easy to text
-Easy to use.
-Good pictures
-Great sound

Cons

-Software problems
-Keyboard.
-Freezes up.

5. Warning

26 May 2009 by random

46.7%4.7out of 10

Just a warning on this phone, when using music player with low battery, phone pauses music to give low battery beep. Also pauses music when bluetooth comes in range. Phone has also started freezing. Touch buttons on face can be tricky to touch just right. Also poor keyboard design for texting. Lastly phone must be shut off and battery removed to take memory card out.

9. I have never disliked a phone this much

25 Mar 2009 by Thomas Neubauer

All of the things that made the Motorola V3M a good buy for me 2 years ago make the VE 20 an utter failure. Normally the replacement product is supposed to be better than the previous product which is why you even bother to purchase it. Here you will see Motorola missed the boat miserably and fell in the water.

Motorola cheapened the phone by ditching the metal screen hinge that has served me well in the V3M. If you are a "texter" the VE 20 will prove to be so aggravating you may flush it or smash it on a YouTube video out of frustration.

The text entry works so poorly and so slowly that it is hard to enter even basic address book information. The buttons are textured haphazardly and feel nothing like the successful predecessors, aggravating and confusing. Use this phone with a Body Glove case as I have and you have a useless phone.

On basic texting this phone gets 1/2 star, and the engineer who dreamed up the keyboard design should be flat fired with no severance pay. In the back country we would describe the keyboard on this phone as "useful as a hind tit on a boar hog".

The phone is also slimmer physically side to side than previous designs of the V3 series. The V3M was a wider phone that was easier to use. If you are like me you have large hands and tiny thin phones are aggravating to use and condemned to being a line insurance claim or a phone that you never bother to answer because of the physical aggravation it causes.

Motorola also moved the option buttons which used to be in the upper screen section to the lower body section of the phone which makes it easy to activate functions you do not want or need without warning. If I said this phone was clumsy it would be an extreme understatement. This is definitely not a phone I would answer on the road.

The screen features have also changed from the predecessors. Now it has a more Windows Vista feel to it and apparently for no good reason aside from robbing the phone of battery life. The image quality on the display screen is fuzzy. Also the font size in the address book is less than 1/2 of the predecessors size.

Menu options have also changed for the worse. With the V3 series one would only have to open it and hit one button and close the phone to silence it when a missed call alarm was chiming. Now one must navigate a clumsy menu to silence the phone.

Among the other seemingly worthless additions to this phone is the new larger outer screen which is almost double the original outer screen. Which the VE 20 Us Cellular version has no other function other than to be big for no reason at all. If you are a person who likes to take lots of pictures of themselves there are better ways than using the poor quality camera on this camera and the front screen. No touch screen function, nothing but a battery eating display that shows date and time. I guess it is nice to know what time it was before your battery went dead.

This phone is also a power hog. Its battery life is less than 1/2 of the previous V3 series phones.

It also appears that Motorola has cheated on the quality of internal components as signal is not what it used to be. On the local cell tower with my damaged V3 the signal is strong clean and crisp. With the VE 20 on the same tower there is constant hissing, popping, volume change, and degradation of signal quality. This phone drops calls faster than you can change your mind.

For more entertainment the VE 20 crashes and freezes faster than Vista when the battery power is low, which is always. The battery would not last longer than 24hrs idling no matter how I charged it.

The Motorola VE 20 is a waste of your time and your money. This is what happens when they listen to unreasonable haphazard demands and opinions of an unstable consumer public.

Sad that this is the best non smart phone Us Cellular has to offer as it is a pathetic shadow of its predecessors. I am considering moving to a different provider as they can not provide a phone that is rugged enough for people who actually work for a living and it appears like sheep in a flock the rest of the phone providers are following the same stupid mistakes and design flaws.

Great phone for someone who does not know what a good phone is. For those who have had truly great Motorola's in the past this product is sure to have many jumping ship finally and abandoning the idea that Motorola can truly compete in the cellphone market any longer.

In short - Do not buy this phone under any circumstances.

If your provider is pushing you into this phone, find a new provider. If this is the best your provider can offer, find a new provider.

Pros

Shiny surfaces to see the reflection of your face of disgust in.

Cons

Too many to list - Please read the review. I am glad to be free of this phone and I had it less that 48 hours. I actually downgraded back to my BROKEN V3M to get away from this phone.
