V195 is T-Mobile specific, V191 is non-carrier specific, V197 from what I have seen is with Dobson. No real differences except the colors and design of the V197. The "M" light in the front is blue only. Hope this helps......

For drivers, go to howardforums or modmymoto and look for "P2K Drivers." That, a few free programs, and a USB-mini cable will let you mod the V195 pretty extensively.
The "live ticker" is a carrier-dependent thing. I have the T-Mobile V195 and it doesn't have that.
You can put MP3s and .jpg images on the phone either by Bluetooth (send from computer or PDA) or cable (with Motorola Phone Tools or the various P2K programs, like P2KCommander). Pictures to be used as wallpaper should be 128x160 pixels.
The only difference between the V195 and V197 is the color of the case and the software on the phone, and there is a V197 "monsterpack" available at modmymoto so you can "unbrand" your V195. I have done this myself. You can also flash different fonts and DRM icon sets (the little icons across the top of the screen) to this phone--it uses the same fonts and DRM sets as the L2/L6 phones.
By the way, the V195 is available as a prepaid phone from T-Mobile for $44.95.
After over a year, my "V197-ized" V195 still works perfectly.

Hi. Whats the difference between the motorola V197 and V195? I think both has the same features. Only the V197 is more better in design, more elegant.

Hi all. Been using this phone for a little while now and i have to say that is a GREAT phone. Good battery life and the call quality is excellent. I am not concerned with a camera and all that stuff. All around a great piece of work from Motorola. Two thumbs up.

I would have bought this almost-great phone because I need a phone that does not have built in camera.
But:
[1] Its that forced-sneaky-annoying "Live-ticker" feature. You need to release a version of this same phone that has Live-ticker ((OFF)) by deafult.
So that even when putting battery pack back in after taking it out a person would need to goto certain menu section to activate it only if they wanted too.
[2] There must be menu option to disable Java in phone, like anyone whos security minded also does with thier PC web browser{its just as dangerous as ActiveX}.
------
Maybe they could swiftly release a firmware update then I would buy it.
Id love to use it with Cingular prepaid service.

Anyone, I cant get my mp3s in the phone, where do I get the drivers for this phone? Do I really have to buy the "kit", if so that stinks. I already have the cable, I have many of them, because I also have a V3m, with a 1g micro, the v195 is my company phone. But I do know a little about hacking a phone because I have had verizon for 4 years. So there has to be a way, bitpim? Can I cut short mp3 samples and use less space for ring tones? Is it worth it if I do have to buy this driver disk??
Nevermind, most of you wouldn't know, thats why you want this phone. Which by the way is great for everything it is, too bad you can't, well I can't, use the same bluetooth ear piece for two separate phones at the same time, unless there is a way to trick the phones.... is there?

Hey just checking back. ^_^ this is my third post and I would like to thank the wonderful person that can very obviously use a calculator, my bad I said hours instead of minutes...wow I think someone woke up on the wrong side of life just a little bit. Ok to reiterate the fact that I am still in love with my phone and that I still a using it very heavily( although i have played the games to death and am to lazy to put new ones on the phone) and still talking away like crazy. the only thing I have new is I recently broke down and bought a motorola h700 blue tooth head set and I am really happy with that aquistion as well. The battery is still as good as ever and I have for some reason or another dropped the about 12 times in the last three weeks (mostly because it has become pretty cool I have stick the phone in my hoodie and then forgot about it and then it would fall out). Except for two or three scratches no damage has been done. the rubber coating actually can withstand a 2'drop without showing damage or jarring the phone to much. although that is not to say it will not scratch. hhmmm I just guess I will give motorola another BRAVO and come back and give another update in a few months. unlike a couple of other posters I have not had a single problem with phone. ^_^

I got this phone about a month ago and love it. The battery life is great and it's got bluetooth. I payed around $35 for with a plan. O and the speaker qaility is great, I always get compliments on when Im playing a song or ringtone, It's loud and clear. Im telling you this is the best basic phone out there for the money buy it.

7000+ hours a month... hmm... lets see... there are 24 hours a day... and on average 30 days a month... 24 x 30 = 720... that means... in a month, considering that you dont sleep and talk all night and day... you would only get 720-744 hrs a month... so.. to get 7000+ hrs... you would need at least... hmm.. almost 300 days of not sleeping and talking all day.. and probably 1 1/2 years if you consider sleeping a part of your daily routine which all of us do...
