Another OK phone

I used this phone from Verizon while i was in Mexico , it worked good while i got my V3 repaired. 

the charger port is indeed very delicate.  However, the big screen and the keypad was alright. I would have liked a better bluetooth compatibility.

 

Pros

Design
Big bright screen
Handy, despite its size

Cons

Battery life and power cord.
An internal antenna would have been better.

Motorola in a bubble

It is now 2008 and I had been using a Motorola V710 up until recently. This phone is definitely a loser in any humid environment.
I have had 5 of these phones because I wouldn't let them screw me on the humidity issue. My last phone suffered the same demise in
Florida humidity. The charging issues are also well documented with a flimsy poor connector on the charging port that will not withstand the slightest abuse. My first phone used to die to a multicolor pixel wash on the screen. This did not inspire confidence. The keyboard did not light evenly when texting in the dark. It was often problematic if you did not have the earpiece directly on your ear it was difficult to hear anything.This is not a phone for the road and I'd have to say that my experience with the Motorola V710 product has left me looking elsewhere for mobile hardware.

Not the greatest phone I've ever had

I've had the v710 since August of '05, and i suppose you could say that the performance of strictly the phone features are acceptable enough. It works most everywhere I've needed to use it with decent sound quality and good reception. While some have said the phone was too big, I found it to be easier to handle and use than some of the other phones available at the time. The screen is huge, especially when compared to what was out there when it arrived. That is where the praise ends, however. Where to begin with the bad... The charging port is cheaply done, with the cord unable to make a decent connection unless the stars are in proper alignment and nobody dares touch it while charging. The plastic cover over the screen allowse for dirt and debris to settle behind it far too easily, not much reason for that kind of shoddy quality from a company making phones as long as motorola. The camera I've found to be practically unusable unless you are outside on a sunny day, and even then the images are grainy, and when tried to be used as a wallpaper can ony cover the middle third of the screen. Overall, I guess I just expected better quality from Motorola, and I don't think I will be giving them another chance on my next upgrade. Hopefully the LG VX8600 will ease my phone woes this time.
