It was a really nice sleek little phone love the look so much that I blow $800 of my saving when I was in high school to get it. My first phone ever. Stupidly left it behind in a disco toilet. Still kicking myself after 12 years booohoooo. Oh it dint even have times tamp for missed calls then but I still loved the phone regardless.

I loved this phone! Was gifted the phone on my birthday! Loved every minute of it until I dropped it by mistake and broke it! Uncomplicated! Does any one know where I can find a new one?

I first had seen this phone first time about 9 years ago (my boss's phone).At that time,it was probably rated as "LUXURY PHONE" - hoping that someday I would own it.


9 yrs later,I just happened to saw this phone on yard sales,still functioning&dirt cheap.So why wait?I bought it for only less than 2 BUCKS.Althought I had to look for spare batteries,manuals,etc.That's a good bargain anyway.

Lately just last weekend,I had bought BRAND NEW replacement body - comes complete with NEW UPPER FLIP ASS'Y&DISPLAY for only 0.5 bucks - almost a "too good to be true" deal.It now looks like a BRAND NEW PHONE to me.


Now I had this phone for a few months.It served as a spare phone that would be occasionally used (a few days a week).Its functions was so primitve by today's standard.But for the look&feel of this little cute - that's more than enought.

Whey I was younger and getting my first phone, I really wanted this one but I didn't get it, can somebody who has/had it please write what it is/was like?

I had this for a very long time too but still searching for the battery. I tried most of the handphone shops in Toa Payoh. They told me they don't carry this kind of phone nor battery anymore.
There is only 1 shop the uncle was nice he managed to get the car charger & now he is trying to get the battery. I find it very cute & easy to slot in esp pockets.

Had a V3688 for 5 years in high school. It stood up to all sorts of abuse. The only reason I stopped using it was because (after breaking in half 6 times) the cable snapped when the dog knocked it off of the table.

Still the cutest phone ever!

I have had a Motorola V3688X for 2 years. It still worked reliability. I also used Sharp GX10. So I prefer my v3688X. I brought second hand with good conditions. I like the way it designed. Hope that Motorola can make once limited V3688 gold editions as some were done. Great V3688X!

No, this is only dual band, it won't work in the US.
But I agree, this is the most reliable clamshell ever made!

This is the best mobile I have ever owned. I had A V3 Razor that lastd for less then 8 months. This is faster and more relible then its successors. It lacks features but it does what a mobile phone is designed to do - that is make and receive phone calls.

I got a motorola V 3688 accidently. I meant for V 50 but an Indian store man in Chicago cheated my brother by giving a used 3688 in a V 50's shell with V 50's package and user manuel.

As for v3688 I used it for 3 years it was delevering me a very good service. Though I bought another phone, I still use my v 3688.
