umeki probably i will buy this phone on the next saturday, what do u think about, it's a good phone?? the camera definition is good??

<unknown> I just posted my opinion on this v690 and then read more of the comments here. I find it funny in a way that some of you were wondering how this or that work. Please, read the features that this v690 offers carefully. If you're talking about "more advance" feautures, PAY MORE and get something else. WHAT YOU PAY IS WHAT YOU WILL GET. You can't expect to pay the price of a Hyundai and get a Mercedes Benz. Cherrish what you have, and pay more to get a phone with more feautres if you have to.

YANG I've been using this phone for about 5mths, and so far i'm satisfied with its performance.

When i bought the phone, it take me lots of time to really get it perfect on general functions such as caller id photo display and caller id grouping. As the manual does not provide sufficient information on how to get these done in short time.
Just like any other MOTOROLA phones, it takes users lots of days to explore completely by playing around with the features. And to add, just like any other MOTOROLA phones, ringtones are always too low even if you set it to the max(However,you can get this corrected when you send your phone to MOTO sevice to get firmware upgrade or other tuning).

However, few weeks later, problem comes...the external display goes off very quickly everytime i close the phone. Doesn't know that the external display is faulty,until the display goes distorted.

I've just sent this phone for service recently, and all the problems are corrected.

Snap shot quality is good but not too impressive,focus to blame. Brightness compensation works well if taking close objects in slightly darker area.

Transferring of datas(pics) is ok with the supported software cd supplied. The only bad thing about the program is that it takes way too long to startup.

In General, i'll hold on to this phone till the contract of my current subscrption ends. General usage of this phone is alright if you are not too picky.
Comparing to other makers such as SIEMENS or SAMSUNG, whom may offer additional features such as voice memo(dictaphone), larger memory(5mb shared memory is not enough...) as well as built in FM radio(commonly available in NOKIA sets of the same price range)...MOTOROLA needs to really buckup before releasing any phones to get positive response.

steve-O I just got the V690 and my internet, Picture and video messaging does not work. i think its the settings but i dont know what they are. if anyone can help please email me.

Sharo Got this ph. about 2 days ago. 1st of all, I too can't change the hours from 24 to 12. 2nd, the battery is not very good since it takes about 2 days for it to be recharged again. Reception is sketchy and some calls are just missed all together. The manual is the worst I have seen. The vib activation is retarded since there is no known short key to activate the vibarator. The ph looks good and is a bit larger than I would like it. I'm shopping around to see if I can find a better ph. I don't think I like this ph at all for reasons mentioned above.

melissa Thanks Kenny, I appreciate it, and I agree with you! Im sad cuz I

Angie I have had this phone(red) for about 2 months now and it working great except the clock is in the 24hr mode. Have no clue on how to change it. The phone has no problem and unlike other people who have said that it has bad service, that is not true at all the phone is not the problem, it's your provider.

Andriuzz Yes it's really nice phone. I like it . I got it 2 month ago. But it have the same problem as all said. doesn't work external display light. As one write, it's just settings . But its not settings. On my phone back light is on for 20s, but it still not working.
If I turned off, then internal light doesn't work. So I really don't know what to do.

Tam I'm having the same problem with the 24hr time format, if someone can help I really appreciated. Thank you
