 Motorola V3 is announced in 2004
Design
Motorola's V3 has a standard design for this class handsets, measuring 53 x 98 x 13 mm and 95 grams. Despite the weight it has a good feel in the hand, and the good shaped plastic body and styled highlights give it an attractive and nice look.The black and white display is ideal for text, messages and simple pictures like logos and picture massages.The display resolution 176 x 220 pixel ideal for small and smart phone.
The left side of the unit holds a spacious volume rocker, while on the other side we find a dedicated camera button.There is nice LEDs which notify users of new messages, active network and missed calls. This is not common for all Motorola handsets and is not necessary to pick up and activate the device to see whether any alerts are waiting.
Ergonomics
The V3 is not comfortable for hold in ones hand because it is too wide.Sporting a simple and user friendly menu in style with other recent Motorola handsets.The plastic keypad has good placed keys, giving it a cheap feel while oddly designed buttons, with the comfortable center keys, make the phone easer to dial.
Features
In the WAN department, the V3 boasts healthy support for Quad-band 850/900/1800/1900 MHz, as well as GPRS, SMS, and a range of applications such as Java MIDP 2.0, 24-channels polyphony, all of which laptop and handheld users will be pleased to learn is a breeze to utilize either by means of bluetooth high speed small range wireless device.GPRS support is the fastest way to download files with your mobile, and spacious phone book.
As previously mentioned, the V3 is also equipped with a 0.3 megapixel camera support for picture-taking , as well as an integrated MP3 player.The latter of which is also the reason for why the 5 MB of internal memory, which initially appears spacious, is quickly stretched to its limits.
Unfortunately, neither Memory Stick Duo format or any other method of memory expansion is supported by the V3, meaning users find themselves drawn by the MP3 playback capabilities will also quickly - and repeatedly - drawn to their PC and USB cable for updating ones playlist.
Performance
Audio quality on the V3 was crystal clear, and signal quality was good. The removable 680 mAh Li-ion battery is rated for 7 hours talk time or 280 hours standby, which is very good for battery's theoretical capacity.Charge time is about 102 minutes.
Availability
The Motorola V3 is now available throughout Europe in some language version.
Conclusion
Motorola V3 is a beautiful phone to hold and use, and it's quickly won our hearts. The typical Motorola design flair is present in abundance, with all the requisite consumer features to back it up.But love doesn't notice such little flaws. |
