My V8 luxury edition is finally on it's last leg. The speaker has finally started to go, and I am forced to use the bluetooth headset as it is uncomfortable to use the handset with all the cracking and popping I hear. It has been an awful year using this phone, I would say a nightmare. The only positive thing is that Guns N Roses finally will be releasing Chinese Democracy on the 23rd!!!! Oh, sorry this is a Motorola V8 forum:)

Have been Using this Mobile for a few Days, Most of the Fetures are Just Novelty, i.e. Touch Sceen, Talking Menu, But Apart from this its a Nice Slick Mobile, Great Looks, Feels Well Built,Nice Big Front Screen. Hav'nt Had any Software Problems yet, But I Really Like This Phone.

jimjay, 16 Nov 2008Yep, I'm having the same problem with logging onto Facebook... moreAnd the really annoying thing is that is only happens on this phone, if i put my sim into another orange phone i actually manage to log onto it. Grrr. Especially as im getting facebook for free as part of my monthly reward.

Anonymous, 30 Oct 2008I would like to suggest to those who are planning to buy Mo... moresemicon may be authorized by motorola to service their units but it is definitely not a motorola service center. i've brought my other cellphones to them for repair (nokia and se) and, unfortunately, they really are slow movers.
i've had a motorola ever since they released the very first RZR. glad to say i haven't had any problems with any of the RZRs i used even those that i had for more than a year. i now have the V8 and am happy with it, as usual!

Even though I'm using E8 now, the V8 has two good points I missed today, the elegant thin flip design and the voice quality is better than E8 eventhough both have Crystal Talk.

I'm with orange and up until about three months ago i was able to log into Facebook, but now I can't anymore. I've spoken to Orange and they said its a problem on Facebook's side.
I've sent numerous e-mails to Facebook and they say they are aware of this problem. however they have not sorted it out!
So frustrating!

H73, 12 Nov 2008Thanks a lot my friend, I checked my phone it was a V9 not ... moreV8 has many functions but there r few disadvantages too! But its not a big issue. The main disadv's r:
1) No FM support
2) No Card slot
&
2) No 3G
However, V9 supports 3G tech & external Memory Card, but does not support FM.
And since there's no further need of memory than 2GB for some peoples, V8 is better. Also, 3G is not a big-hit in many places around the World, coz EDGE have it all. And for the FM, it's not of much importance for those who like to listen there own stored MP3 tracks.(Like me)
So overall,V8 is much better than V9 in all respects..!!

*HaWk*STYLE*, 11 Nov 2008Well, dude as u said, ur other 2 phones hv supportd the sam... moreTo -------*HaWk*STYLE*:
I still don't think it is a virus causing this problem. I haven't heard of a virus for the Linux platform that runs the V8. I've recently borrowed a V8 from a friend of mine and put the very same tracks in it and nothing bad happened.
I've tried the 'Delete All Data' option to reset everything but it just wiped off only the phone's memory. My prediction was right since the phone itself can't find the 2gb extended memory and so nothing happened which would restore it.
The pc still can find the 2gb extended memory as a removable drive, but nothing happens also when I double-click on it.
The problem is still there, but thank you just the same for your help.
