randeye you can download ring tones, I have. But where are the games??

RDB the phone is ok i suppose but how do you assign ringtones to the names in the phonebook, i read the manual and still can't figure it out, can anyone help me thx

AndrewH I bought the net10 version of this phone for $80 and a year of service for $300. first thing i noticed, after the confusing online activation, the features were totally different from the motorola website info.they are 2 totally different phones on the inside, and net10 actually admitted that to me. No one will give out ringtones or wallpapers via sms, but the phone IS capable of media through txt msging.I guess if you can find someone else who had a similar phone with compatible ringtones and pay them to download ringtones, then send them to you via sms. As far that phone goes, its a nice budget phone for a non technical user.the net10 package has even more limited features, and some bugs always seem to show up.My phonwe number was displayed on my phone wrong for some reason, and could chage it! and other small stuff always comes up.heck, i disabled my service from my phone once by pushing the wrong codes in the prepaid code entry section.Net10 needs to find someone to host free ringtones and wallpapers for net10 users. I actually got cingular rintones sent to my phone, but they were incomplete, because they didnt list the v171 so i picked a different model.

Jake This phone is ugly as he**. It only has that ugly oval thing on the front. Who would buy it.Net 10 should get better phones, there rate plan is great but the phones suck.

Rich This phone is awesome!!!!! I pay 30 bucks every two months and it works great! The ringtones re awesome too! I would reccomend this phone to anyone!

Rosie I have this phone and i like it coz its so simple and easy to use. its just a bit slow when txting and the screens a bit small, but a great first phone!!

Jay This phone is a piece of crap. The darn ringtones are dumb as he**. The screen is tiny and the colors look very dull. I got the phone for my bday and i thought i could download ringtones.... NOT. All you people that say the phone is good are freakin liers. Just admit it is a piece of junk. You should at least be able to download the ringtones and games from your phone. The three games suck. You cant even see the damn tetris lookin game. People try to send me text messages and i wont get them for a freakin hour or two. The signal always goes out on the piece crap. Ill dial the number and push call and the darn thing will just end the call after it has already taken my 1.0 minute. That is all kinds of bull. I buy 300 minutes and only get to use about half of them because of failed text messaging and dropped calls. The ringtones you can get our are dumb keytones. I gave up on trying to download ringtones and tryed to find the dang keypress tones on the internet and coudnt find any. This phone is a motordont.

christine i have this phone obviously and i hate it yes it does eevrything a normal phone would do IT Rings but i am a teenager i want all the cool ringtones and downloads. i live in australia and i have changed my sim plan so many times from optus to virgin to telstra and guess what i cant use the gprs or get ringtones for it and it said on the box i could! this fone really does suck!
