Motorola V180 Phone - Next Generation (AT&T)

Rating:
Summary: This is a great compact basic phone.
Review: I got two V505 and one V180 from AT&T corporate store for free with family calling plan. So far, I am impressed with this little phone.

Pro:
-Good Battery life. It has lasted over 1 week under modest use.
-Speaker phone. It's pretty clear and loud.
-Size. It's compact, easy to hold and nice keypad.
-Quad band.
-Reception is pretty strong and clear.
-Mini USB port. I can use my Canon camara's cable to connect to PC using Motorola software.
-Price(Free or make money depends on contract)

Con:
-Screen could be better or bigger. But it's not too bad for a basic phone.
-No blue tooth
-Address book could be better.

Overall, this is a great phone if you are just looking for a good no frill phone.

Summary: Battery life claims are no where near true
Review: I have 2 of these (and got one replaced). All 3 have HORRIBLE battery life. I have to recharge every day and a half, after only 20 mins of talk time in that day and a half, and the rest stand by. 7 hours talk and 14 days standby is a huge lie. I could see recharging every 3 days with modest use, but this is pathetic.

If my batteries are bad and others are fine, it is weird since all 3 of mine are like that.

Be aware.

Summary: I'm happy
Review: This is my third cell phone and 3 weeks into using it I'd say it's the best one I've had. My main complaint about phones this size is that the number keys are too small, but I've not had a problem with this one.

The only thing that I would change is the manual (some of the instructions are a little on the brief side) and the address book (seems to sort by first name, and not last name).

Overall, a decent phone.
