Sorry, don't mean to be rude.
How many people bother to read posts on this forum?
Buggered if I know. 0-((
Most of the questions have been answered if you care to look at other posts. ;-))
For manuals, go to your country's Moto site. You may also find ringtones for sale there too.;-)
Don't rely on any 'phone to download anything via GPRS, go to the maker's website if in doubt and do it by SMS, et al.
Seems a safe bet.
Take it easy, ;-)

Boring? Simplistic? Small screen?
Well frankly, yes.
Small in size? Effective and useable as a mobile 'phone? Hell, yes!
I ran this simple communication device on one charge for over 7 days without a recharge. (It still had a third of the battery meter showing).
If you want a fancy 'phone, pay the price for it and forget it.
If you need a simple, mobile telephone that works well for a long time on one battery charge.............
Buy a V171;-)
I also have a StarTAC 70,85 and 130, good 'phones in thier day and very stylish. Retro cool, so I'm told. ;-) Big wink!
The V171 continues that tradition and then some.
I don't need ring tones (though, they can be downloaded from :-
http://direct.motorola.com/eng/Web_Download_templateA.asp?Country=GBR&language=ENG&productid=29294&strPrimaryOption=Down&lSecondaryOption=Ringtones
if you want them.
Moto say this 'phone will run for 12 days on standby, I don't know if it's tue but it does do a good job on that score compared with other small 'phones.
It's cheap too, I got mine on Tesco mobile with three favourite numbers that cost ten pence per minute for voice and five pence per text.
Go figure. ;-)
Cheers,
Stan.

Ya know, I've read a lot of comments about this phone, here's my opinion. I puchased this phone to be just that, a mobile phone that's realiable and basic. When I talk on the phone, I can't see the screen, so who cares? I can see what I have to to program it and see who's calling. And as long as it makes noise to let me know someone's calling, who cares what noise it makes? As far as games, I have gameboys; for music, I have stereos and an iPod, for video, I have computers, vhs and dvd players, cameras digital, film and vhs and yes....television!THIS IS A GREAT, LOW COST UNIT and it does WHAT A PHONE IS SUPPOSED TO DO and it DOES IT WELL. As far as Net10 goes, hey spend yourself silly and get all the bangs and whistles, it's a free country. Net10 does exactly for me what I need it to do.

This phone is amazing! I have had and tested many phones but this phones battery keeps going mine lasts for a week. The rigntones are clear and the wap works well. The design is classic and complements any outsfit you wear.

I like this fone. It is stylish, practical and value for money. I can't understand why no one can download tones. The first thing I did was down load one for the ringtone and one for the messages, as I didn't like the built in ones. They were ninety cents each.
