Got it 3 weeks ago. Great phone. Pictures are real nice, as good as a phone camera could be (a bit saturated and not good in low light). I have 3 digital cameras but I like to have one just in case I need to capture something and I don't have a "real" one with me.
WAP might be a bit tricky to program without carrier assistance.

You can get all kind of faceplates now (even cromed ones)
MP3 quality is really good but wont play variable bitrate mp3. You can use mp3 ringtones as long as they are less than 20 secs.
SMS is simple, easy to use.
Battery lasts 1-2 days with low phone/cam use.
You can get memory cards cheap in case you need more space. But even without cards the phone has enough for some pics.
I dont like the fact that one can't customize the outside buttons and outside screen is low quality.

But overall don't regret it.

I bought this phone and sold it back after only 3 days of using it. It had many good features but here's a list of what made me sell it:

1) The phone would lag because the processor is a little slow. It got annoying.

2) For those who are fast at sending sms this phone will only make u angry. In every msg that I wrote I would be finished but I had to wait for the letters to show on the screen. This was a very strong reason for me to sell it back.

3) I tried as much as I can but I couldn't find a way to send photos via Bluetooth.

4) The phone froze a couple of times. I had to remove the battery and put it back so I can turn the phone on again.

5) Ringing volume at its maximum was not as loud as I would've liked it to be

6) Can't save messages in a "Drafts" or "Archives" folder. Had to go through the steps of sending the msg before you can cancel and save


I wanted to keep the phone as it had many great features. People out there might like it but processor speed was very important to me.

so far, this phone has caused nothing but problems. It keeps turning off, changing ring tones and the MP3 player is impossible to work

i don't recommend this phone

Did you know that the antenna unscrews. It came off in my pocket the other day and luckly I didn't loose it. If it gets in the way of your flash try unscrewing it. If you lost your mp3 player you should be able to get a software update from motorola's website.

I liked my old startac. This V635 has a mind of it's own. It changes ring tones on it's own and the most anoying thing is when it shuts off the ringer. You don't know when your getting calls. I also put a 256mb transflash in for added memory and now have to buy a card reader to format the transflash card before it can be used. The bluetooth headset was junk so I sent it back. I expected to get better coverage with this phone because it was GSM, but it's no different than before, but that has a lot to do with the provider. The camera is very poor quality but it does work. I think they have a long way to go to improve this phone. If it wasn't for my battery life of about 3 to 4 days and the alarm clock, I'd go back to my startac.

I like the phone, except that it reboots every time I try to get my voice mail. That is sorta annoying. Any tips? Software updates? Since my carrier doesn't sell it, they feel they don't have to give me any kind of service or help. Motorola is attempting to answer my question. Any you guys have any feedback or solutions? Thanks
