oh by the way motorola is a crappy brand, i couldent get anything to transfer to the fone so i had to buy a mini memory card with a SD (San Disk) adaptor, (not including the 400/500 megs of software that had to be downloaded) from a european sever which takes about 20 hours to download from where I live >_<

im having a lot of trouble with this fone now, had it for about a year.. it was fine within the first 3 months, then the screen would somtimes turn off after i open it. now a days back when i would txt, every time i pushed a key the screen would rapidly turn of and back on.. and only a few days back the screen just dies everytime i turn it on (slowly fades away or doset turn on at all)

Hmmm...most Motorola`s phones have problems with soft (v3, e398), but i think thats Motorola have great phones...n cheap! on Polish auctions can buy for 50 to 70$(used or new).

And software or data cable can be buy also on auctions (ebay or others).

It`s a very bad phone.. i had it for a while, when it appeared... and i had the time to test it. The Soft is awfull... and when i tried to look to the pictures i have taken ... if i made them using the largest resolution for the camera, i had to wait a lottttttt so i can see them...and then the white screen appeared. It`s awfull.. and i had very much care with it.. so technical problemes excluded ( just bad software)

well it looks very sophisticated although one major drwback is it not having blue tooth!..and since the phone is not popular in countries such as srilanka its very hard to get the datacable and software required..but apart from thst its a durable and cool phone.

I got myself one of these about a week ago, and im pretty satisfied. I bought it new and unlocked, and I was wondering if i would want to make a video conference with my friend who has the same phone, do we get charged for that? or is it counted as a regular phone call. We both live in the US under a GSM network and have the same unlocked phones.

Nor really easy to put apps and games on your v1050 but if oyu know how it become easy. And why buy 1 games for 2- 3 $ when u can just download 1000 games for free !!! form torrent engines. My motto: "why pay when u can get it for free" :))
oh, how it's done:
1) u must connect your microSDcard to a Pc adapter/reader so u can vizualize it on your pc.
2) after u can see what's on your card ( not using the motorola application; but using windows EXPLORER ) u enter on your card ( my computer / G: or whatevers your drive) and enter in the "mobile" directory and enter in the hidden directory called KJAVA ( type G:/mobile/kjava/ in explorer bar )
3) after u'd entered in the kjava hidden directory, just copy the .jar files in there randomly.
4) insert the card in ure v1050 and enter in the game menu/ install new game
5) select the game u want to install and play it ! THAT'S IT
& Don't pay for stupid games!i just tried to buy some games by browser and i after i payed for it i got an error, not just one time! just download it via bitorrent or DC++ or whatever.. u will find 1000 game pack for motorola, works great!
If u really like the games buy them :p bleah...

Are you serious about the photos taken with the camera only taking up half the screen when set as the wallpaper?!

this is a very reliable phone when it comes to using it as a modem never have i experienced any problems with it only my laptop when it hade a virus, but i'm not happy with the fact that it does not have bluetooth and infrared. it should have it's own upgraded model v1050i

i like this phone because i can rely on it. battery lasts for 3 days, with a couple of video`calls per day, gprs works just fine, and as soon as i installed opera mini browser i could surf the net fast and stylish. lots of games that i installed were nice for a few days, then i got bored and installed lots of applications. has a great shock resistance, i dropped it already too many times and has no scratch. the low point is the camera quality, both for photo or video`clips. i also had a razr for a week and didn't like it so much due to the fact that is too wide, fits in a palm in a bad way.
