WOW!

Are yall aware of the new Motorola V710? It is a groovy little phone. Some of the features include video capture, 1.2 M Pixel Screen AND a mp3 player ALL IN ONE! The phone is H O T! Finally a camera phone that I can actually SEE the pics I take O and did I mention its Bluetooth enabled? This phone ROCKS!

Anyone else gotta phone with a mini camcorder?? How do you like it?

It still don't beat the P900.

Except for a megapixel camera and flash, the P900 does all of the above and more

[The Dude]

Have a look at the Sendo X...

If they ever get it released, it's gonna blow the others away..
They've just delayed it's release again as they're implementing full voice activation... now that's gonna be seriously cool.

Whatever next! You mean your actually gonna have to talk into a phone. Next thing you know somebody will start talking back at you through it.

[The Dude]

voice activated menus and talk-type text messages...

no more repeatedly pressing increasingly small and fiddly buttons...


can't wait personally...


All we need next is 'beam me to the pub' function and life is sorted.

Have you tried texting on the move! It cant do that.

[woody67]

I have no problem texting with the flip closed - the T9 works well and the scroll wheel helps speed input.

The larger keys help too

Motorola has included a large 262K color TFT screen capable of displaying 176x220 resolution

Doesn't sound that great. More and more phones are coming with Megapixel+ cameras now. In fact I had a Sharp GX30 up until recently and that had a great (1Mp) camera and screen (240x320) but was so bad in other ways I got rid of it.

[Gliese 581c]

nokia 7610 is the ultimate at the moment.

[Spacecat]

What other camera apart from the P900/800 can you watch a full length feature film on , whilst on a train etc or watch a tv recording on on the way to work etc!! as well
as being a camera , mp3 player, full pda function, internet, edit word and excel documents , grps, and tonnes more beside??

[youngteam]

Nokia 6600, Treo 600, SPV E200?

[Spacecat]

And has a touch screen with stylus!!

[youngteam]

Treo 600, XDA, XDA2....umm trying to think of more :-)

edit: Motorola A925, Nokia 7700, Nokia 6108 (well it's got a stylus not sure about the other features) :-)

[Spacecat]

they are PDA's arent they im talking about smartphones (the XDA2 is a PDA with phone innit!)

ok what ones have all of the above and are called SE P900s

stumped you now havent I!

[SILVERBACK]

motorola`s are a disgrace,all looks no functionality.i have owned 2 and my mates still have theres and the menu systems and just plain awkwardness of menu browsing are shocking.to much money on adverts and not enough in the design and research department if you ask me.

P910?

[gringottsdirect]

I'm used to Motorola s even with their limitations, anybody know when V710 will be available with 02 or T-Mobile in UK ?

[dealmaker]

I've got a Nokia 6230 which I think is a cracking business phone.....however I was tempted by the new Sony Ericsson K700 and upgrade my wifes phone so I could have a try.

Anyway to cut a long story short I ended up sending it back - it had some great features and gizmos but the basic phone functions (i.e 90% of what you actually use) were crap.

It kept dropping calls, the bluetooth was poor and the voice dialling was a complete joke.

It was an absoloute pleasure to go back to the NOKIA.

So I'm afraid after a couple of daliances with both Motorola (V600) and Sony (K700) recently, I am still of the somewhat boring view that Nokia still lead the way in terms of ease of use (intuitiveness) and phone performance.

[Rad]

I've had my fair share of cutting edge cool phones but just can't be bothered anymore so I went for the LG8110 from 3.
Half price line rental for 12months and 500 mins cross network for £12.50 a month, ok the half price is only at source for the first 3 months (ie they only charge me £12.50 for the first 3 months and then £25 a month from then on)then you have to send them a voucher every 3 months and they send you a cheque for £39.50.

It's a camera phone, and I can ring people with it, then there's the 3G stuff.

A bit of a no brainer really for that price.

Rich

have to agree on the sendo x, though why its been released in europe and not here yet when its a british company is beyond me, its a little like when they release bond films first in america. bunch of b*stards

V710 is CDMA so won't work in Europe. Only just about to be released on Verizon Wireless in the States. It is nice though

[Loafer316]

I'm waiting for the Motorola Mpx220...currently have the mpx200 and it's the best phone i've had! my one doesn't have camera or bluetooth but he new one will.

Thanks for replying.

[alextgreen]

Motorolas, proportionaly make up the majority of phones we get back under warranty at work. They just cannot get a handle on quality control.

P900 is a **** hot little phone, shame it's an ugly so and so. Reliability is alright now they've sorted the firmware, even battery life is as good as most 'normal' phones.

[SeaneyC]

Just waiting on delivery of my SPV C500, should be a sweet little smartphone that *gasp* you can actually fit in your pocket!

Yes they are PDA's, they are also Phones.

so u just got owned sir

[SeaneyC]

Doesn't matter what you call them, you still look like a real berk talking into them. SPV M1000, XDA, P900 etc etc... all HUUUUUUGE!

And how the hell are you supposed to use the keyboard on the P910?!

[woody67]

I felt that my Nokia 8210, and then Ericsson T68 were too small - alright for the pocket, but it seemed a bit silly holding this small phone next to my ear in out-streched fingers. Plus the keypad buttons were too small to use properly

I agree that the XDA is too wide for a phone, but the P900 and SPV are about the right size for holding.

The P910's keypad is just a gimmick - why design an excellent phone based on touch screen input and then added a keypad?

[philst68i]

SE k700i......gonna bin my P900.......well maybe not.

But the k700i is one hell of a phone,video, 1 mp camera,radio, mp3 player, as long as you stay away from the Vodafone Live one's.

[SeaneyC]

Except that the K700i only has 40mb of memory that isn't expandable, and although the camera is stated to be 1mp, it isn't really 1mp, it's 640x480 sensor with some gubbins to take it up to 1mp output. Not to mention the battery life is pretty bad, with less than moderate use requiring a daily charge. Not to mention the million and one things your P900 can do that the K700i couldn't dream of (checking those excel spreadsheets etc..)

Not that i'm trying to put you off the K700i, but i just don't think it's so great. If you're binning your P900 i'll have it!
