    • Compact design; integrated camera; speakerphone; USB port.

    I know, it is a very old phone, you cann't buy it now, but I believe there are some fans of it yet! Well, I've been a fan of Motorola for a long time. Actually, this one is my third Motorola. When it comes to the point of getting a new phone, there were no other options for me. Simplicity, light-weigth, compactness and reliability - everything I ever loved in Motorolas. Read more

    I have owned a V220 for several years, but fried the charger when I took a chance in a European outlet. I wasn't sure whether it was only the charger or if I also fried the charging circuit in the phone. The phone worked, but I could not charge the battery. Because I enjoyed using my V220 as a primary phone and later as a secondary phone, I was pleased to find that I could order a new one through Amazon. Read more

    I can honestly say this is the worst phone i have ever bought. I bought it on Ebay and it was relatively new when i bought it, i read a review on it prior to buying in which a person called the phoen the devil, i thought that they were just exaggerating.. but now i wish i had listened. This phone really is, it has one of the worst chargers i have ever seen, and i went to a cingular store and bought a brand new charger- the charger doesnt click into your phone, it merely...

  3. In praise of my old phone!

    I should start by saying that a lot of my opinion is based on a comparison with a newer, similarly basic, Samsung mobile phone that I have recently bought to communicate with my eldest daughter on a different network. My old phone is really still my current one. I bought it in May 2006, and the Orange shop salesman saw us coming - I think it was already old stock even then. Read more

    • Great basic phone, has lasted ages
    • Little other than basic functions
