Motorola V195 Mobile Phone Review

Motorola V195 Details

kurt What a funny post. If you want a gadgety phone then don't even consider this. Case closed. For me, if I want a camera, I'll buy a real camera that can take a picture of a useful resolution. At least some phone manufacturers recognize there is a crowd looking for a phone that does what a phone should do, get you in contact with other people from almost anywhere. I am eagerly awaiting it's release in the US. Has it been released anywhere yet? I understand it was supposed to be out by the second quarter of 2006. It seems that hasn't happened. Does anybody know anything anout the release?

Johnny Fortune Where is it I want one, and I want one now!
It's about time they made a no nonsense phone. I only want to make and recieve calls. Could someone let me know when it's here?

<unknown> What happened to the Cosmic Blue version??? T-mobile seems to only have the Grey v195.

Ncin Just recently got the v195....

I use my phone for work (to talk) and didn't need a camera. What I did need is tons and tons of talk time and standby time and something professional looking (understated stylish). I was previously using a v188 that I couldn't manage to kill the battery on if I -wanted- to. However, the v188 looked chintzy and cheap and I hated taking calls on it in front of clients.

Anyway, the v195 is everything I wanted and more. I've been trying to run the battery down now for days. No effect. I want to fully drain and recharge it a couple times to keep it up to snuff but this thing JUST WONT DIE. The look is professional and stylish, it's solidly built and the keypad is easy to use and not too crowded. Texting is a breeze. The reception is perfect (the v188 was ok, but I got crappy reception in my block walled house, this one is full bars). Clarity is great, sound is great, speakerphone sounds great. Bluetooth isn't really importaint to me but it's nice that this phone has it (I think people running around with bluetooth headsets on their ears look like idiots, but I digress).

Cant complain, this is probably the most practical phone on the market. It wont replace your ipod or your digital camera, but there isnt a single phone on the market that can :).

Although I'd be first in line to buy a phone with 60 gigabytes of storage, a stylish form factor, and an 8.2 megapixel camera.

Who wouldnt?

<unknown> why would anyone buy this phone with no camera? nokia makes phones with cameras for real cheap, not to mention the motorola problem with screens not working that you will inherit, i will never purchase another motorola phone after having the samsung t809(d900 i think)

<unknown> I really like this phone a lot. I would buy it if it was on the market. I wrote to Motorola today and they told me they don't know when it is going to be release as of yet. Everything says the second quarter which I think starts in May. Right!!!!!! I called my provider and they didn't know anything about it either.
Does anyone have any "inside" information as to when it will be out there ready to buy and how much it will cost on a T-Mobile plan.

Akbar Never go after the "long battery life". It is ONLY for standby mode. Once you start using it, the display, the sound, the speakers, everything starts taking its toll on the battery. I recently bought the small C139 lured by its long battery life, but this long life works best under the pillow only. However C139 is a very good stout little phone, I really like it, and this one may be good as well.

3 fff this phone is nice

<unknown> the phone is good for people who are looking for low-end solutions. this phone serves its purpose being a reilable phone with the basic functions for today's standards in cell phones.
namely the quadband support, RF won't be an issue, and the battery life is amazing.

Vannu It is tentative with T-Mobile USA. I cannot wait to see the price for this. It looks good
