I've read all the comments about this phone and I think a lot of people do NOT know how to use it. It is a marvel of the modern world. It does everything that its supposed to and its small and looks good. Idont think adding an FM radio is of much use but is another step in multimedia. Definately the next one for me will be the V3i.

I have been told than you cannot store the postal address in the V635 phonebook. Is it true ?

Decent phone, really. I have had a few problems with the battery as I see a few others have, and it does tend to be a little temperamental and going off of it's own accord. Rather annoying. One question, I received a message today (from O2 I think)and accidentally pressed 'exit' instead of 'read'. I went into my inbox to retrieve the message....but it wasn't there. Now, I still have the unread message icon at the top of the screen.....but the message seems to have vanished. Does anyone have any idea where it might have got to and how I can retrieve it? Any responses much appreciated!!

I have had this phone for about 21 months. Here is some very helpfull info before you make your decision.
Battery - Lasts me about 3 days, talking about an hour each day. When I got the phone it was only lasting me about a day and a half, then it gradualy increased after a few charges.
All features work great. EDGE Is much faster than I expected, but useless since I have T-Zones. The reception is Ok but not the best.MP3 Is absolute crap, slow and has not sound shaping options!
It is a very sturdy feeling phone which is very nicely designed. I have personaly have never had any problems with this phone at all.
I am currently replacing this phone with a V3i. I will find out which is best overall, but I already know the v3i sure looks cooler.

Aman, to use the mp3 player you must have files in mp3 format stored either on the phone or in the audio folder of the transflash card. To store files on the transflash either uset the SD adaptor supplied and put the card into a memory card reader, or use the supplied usb cable to connect phone and pc (make sure transflash is in phone and phone is set not set to work as a modem but as a usb storage device- this is in settings, connection or something). Then copy mp3s into the audio folder of the transflash. Then use the mp3 application in the java section of the phone (its where the games are). It takes a while to load. Or you could go to the sounds in multimedia (make sure you have switched to the correct storage device- eg transflash).

When i bought the phone about a year ago i was told it supported up to 256mb transflash memory, which i think was probably the max you could buy then. I have tried a 512mb transflash card (which is the highest capacity transflash available now) and it works fine with that as well.

For anyone wondering how to set up internet services on your phones, all you need to do is contact your service provider and get the settings off them. Some phones will come pre-loaded with local networks but the majority will need you to call up the network to get the settings. Happy new year.

It was 12:30 almost, on christmas eve, and not even excited about christmas I rolled back and forth restless... I didn't even feel like christmas. Remembering my brother's joke about openng a present at one past midnight I got up, and decided to drain myself somehow, I hopped down the stairs that creeked and grabbed a present from under the tree - I knew what it was, I had peeped earlier lifting up the cellotape tab, it had been only the seond time I had done it in my life, I once slashed my GBA SP and then shoved it back under the tree :p. Sitting on my bed my bro came out of his bedroom next to me, he had been fiddling on his laptop late and had gone to brush his teeth and saw it and said, don't brake it (I WON'T!!). Apart from that the house was silent.
I unrapped it and spent half an hour getting it turned on, as I was careful to hide it under the pillow incase Mum or Dad get up to go to the toilet. My stocking had already been left, it was actually a bag, 'cus Mum had been lazy and I hadn't actually been asleep when she left it (I was going to comment on how womenly santa was). Putting in the batterry, sim card (which I did wrong the first time) and then the 32M transflash provided, I put back on the cover and removed some obscuring label and pressed ON.
There was a loud angelic jangle. The first thing I did was try put the phone on silent, which occurred with a loud bleep, then discovered the multimedia menu, turned on the camera, it had a flash, it was a good camera, even better once I changed the save folder to the transflash which enabled me to set it up to 1.23 Megapixels. It has upto 8x zoom and about a dozen colour effects, not to mension the exposure change! You can access it by the camera key on the phone or via the side which enables self portrait. There is far too many features to comment on this phone, so I'll get out what I can. You can personalise this phone, from changing the smart key or shortcut items on the desktop, and backgrounds and screensavers! It has motomixer which is okay, you basically get to mix a backing track and change the tempo, it's midis. This phone does not yet have a designated MP3 player, but you can play them through a unstable JAVA application, or even better, through the ringtone sampler, which is much better. It has a headphone scoket, and the headphoenes included are brilliant, and act as a headset! If you buy this phone new now, you'll get it with the new firmware, which isn't perfect but better than the last I heard, mines 24R or something, I had a few white screens but everything else is brilliant, and they were whilst using multimedia features and I did too much stuff at once, then the phone got grumpy :_). Yes, you are right, it CAN record videos, and transfer them too to play, though you'll need to encode them to MP4 or 3GP, I haven't tried any others. It can record sounds but you have to listen to them via the ear-speaker, the loudspeaker is great, it sound crystal clear, I could set it sooo loud, the volume controls can get a bit confusing as there's one for everything (and one quick access one on the side of the phone). In the way of tools, you got a handy calculator, Datebook, voice recorder, alarm clock, the phone even has chat facilities and DRM activation lists! The phone has messaging to the extreme, aswell as neat pictures for your phone book, the WAP is enhanced, on virgin it was 0.5p/KB which proved expensive for large JAVA games, seeing as motorola have temporarily disabled PC transfering of them for standard users, though if you know how, you can use motocoder's MIDway and transfer them, but it's not easy to use : (
On the techy side, the phone has dual GSM, and bluetooth, which can be confusing to use but you simply highlight a file and select COPY then "Bluetooth", from there scan for devices, unless you are already connected. The screen is crystal clear, the out ones good too, it changes the background according to your desktop background, and displays the time. Closing the flip-phone will exit any open menu's or items, unless specifically set up, IE. the MP3 player will still play with it closed. The buttons press nicely and the design is nice. You need to charge it everyday with heavy use or every few days if you leave it on standby. Believe me, this phone has got everything, multiple callers, several nifty JAVA games included, it's one heck of a phone. So don't wait. Though on the down side;
1.The PC software is terrible, it doesn't do much, not more than the phone can do except sync, backup and transfer CERTAIN things, stick with the windows browsing for memory card browsing and transfer stuff to phone memory from the memory card on the actual phone itself. The PC software stopped functioning full stop after a live-update and prooved buggy in the first place, did harm to my PC.
2.JAVA & skin uploading from PC has currently been disabled by motorola.
3.On top of that access to the actual phone memory is disabled except through a dumb manager (memory card is free to browse and change though).
4.The phone is slightly buggy even with the latest firmware, encountering some white screens or errors randomly when playing media, or just when it's having a mess around...
5.USB cable isn't included sadly, and it's not a usual cable so you have to buy their special one..
But still, it's amazing!
