Motorola V8: Everything it does, it does well!

5 Jan 2009 Christopher Smith

8.3 out of 10

I have owned the Motorola V8 for about four months now, and it is a great handset! Sure it may not have many features, but the features it has are good. The interface is a step up from the horrible Razr V3's, it is very responsive and doesn't lag. The design is beautiful, very shiny though (I have to clean mine every night!) and many people have complimented me on the phones great looks. The MP3 player is exquisite and sound quality is unmatched, the sound comes out loud, clear and crisp. The camera, although only a 2 mega pixel one, has surprised me with its superb image quality, I put a few of my pictures on my computer and every single detail is there, images are very sharp too, so the camera really is a winner. The keypad is well spaced and easy to text on, although the back lighting could be stronger. The two displays on the V8 are stunning, Motorola obviously took their time with the displays because colours are vivid and sharp, you can also adjust the brightness level of the screens (this helps when working with the phone in the dark) and both displays are very legible in bright light. The three touch sensitive keys on the front work when the flip is closed and you are playing music, they are extremely responsive even with a brush of my finger. The touch sensitive keys also have hap tic feedback, this is a small vibration when the keys are pushed, this is excellent because it confirms that I have pressed the key, I just wish the keys had more functionality instead of just being music keys. The web browser is a dream to use with Opera mini pre installed and download speed is quite fast for an EDGE connection. Overall, the Motorola V8 does everything i need it to, and it does it well.





Slim, shiny attractive design
Superb 2 mega pixel camera
Sharp, vivid display
MP3 player interface and excellent sound quality
Touch sensitive music keys with hap tic feedback
Evenly spaced keypad, large letters
Web browser is a dream to work with
Back lighting of the keypad could have been a little stronger
Touch sensitive key's functionality are limited to the music player
Phone is a finger print magnet and will need to be cleaned regularly
Phone is rather large when opened

Other than those, the V8 is PERFECT!!!!

Constant Problems

THe RAZR2 V8 is a nice phone - but that's where it ends. I paid $399 for it to replace the crappy samsung I had - For the first 2-3 months it was great then it started acting weird. Battery wouldn't keep a full charge, it would lockup, it would go nutz when trying to txt message. It was just a slew of issues. I had to keep "rebooting" it 2x a day to get it to work.
Replaced it with another one and same thing. I have to reboot it at least twice a day and it still sometimes locks up. Txt messaging is a bear when it goes crazy and adds characters in the message or just sends the mesage before you finished typing!!! Arrgh!! It really wasn't worth the money at all. T-Mobile says it's normal to have to reset a phone daily and more than once is "good" to keep "fresh" on the network! HUH!??? First I ever heard that one...

All in all - I wish I would have gotten a V3 - had one before without any problems....I think it's this Linux-Java OS they have it running on. A friend has the same phone and he has all the same problems.
Really sucks......sigh :( But I'm stuck with it now.....
