I would have bought this almost-great phone because I need a phone that does not have built in camera.
But:
[1] Its that forced-sneaky-annoying "Live-ticker" feature. You need to release a version of this same phone that has Live-ticker ((OFF)) by deafult.
So that even when putting battery pack back in after taking it out a person would need to goto certain menu section to activate it only if they wanted too.
[2] There must be menu option to disable Java in phone, like anyone whos security minded also does with thier PC web browser{its just as dangerous as ActiveX}.
------
Maybe they could swiftly release a firmware update then I would buy it.
Id love to use it with Cingular prepaid service.

Anyone, I cant get my mp3s in the phone, where do I get the drivers for this phone? Do I really have to buy the "kit", if so that stinks. I already have the cable, I have many of them, because I also have a V3m, with a 1g micro, the v195 is my company phone. But I do know a little about hacking a phone because I have had verizon for 4 years. So there has to be a way, bitpim? Can I cut short mp3 samples and use less space for ring tones? Is it worth it if I do have to buy this driver disk??
Nevermind, most of you wouldn't know, thats why you want this phone. Which by the way is great for everything it is, too bad you can't, well I can't, use the same bluetooth ear piece for two separate phones at the same time, unless there is a way to trick the phones.... is there?

Hey just checking back. ^_^ this is my third post and I would like to thank the wonderful person that can very obviously use a calculator, my bad I said hours instead of minutes...wow I think someone woke up on the wrong side of life just a little bit. Ok to reiterate the fact that I am still in love with my phone and that I still a using it very heavily( although i have played the games to death and am to lazy to put new ones on the phone) and still talking away like crazy. the only thing I have new is I recently broke down and bought a motorola h700 blue tooth head set and I am really happy with that aquistion as well. The battery is still as good as ever and I have for some reason or another dropped the about 12 times in the last three weeks (mostly because it has become pretty cool I have stick the phone in my hoodie and then forgot about it and then it would fall out). Except for two or three scratches no damage has been done. the rubber coating actually can withstand a 2'drop without showing damage or jarring the phone to much. although that is not to say it will not scratch. hhmmm I just guess I will give motorola another BRAVO and come back and give another update in a few months. unlike a couple of other posters I have not had a single problem with phone. ^_^

I got this phone about a month ago and love it. The battery life is great and it's got bluetooth. I payed around $35 for with a plan. O and the speaker qaility is great, I always get compliments on when Im playing a song or ringtone, It's loud and clear. Im telling you this is the best basic phone out there for the money buy it.

7000+ hours a month... hmm... lets see... there are 24 hours a day... and on average 30 days a month... 24 x 30 = 720... that means... in a month, considering that you dont sleep and talk all night and day... you would only get 720-744 hrs a month... so.. to get 7000+ hrs... you would need at least... hmm.. almost 300 days of not sleeping and talking all day.. and probably 1 1/2 years if you consider sleeping a part of your daily routine which all of us do...

Hi, this is to comment on the last reviewer and their opinion of this phone. I am sorry your phone had problems on it. but I use my phone exstensively(7,000+ hours of talking a month and quite a few hours playing fantasy warrior good and bad a week.) and I cannnot say that I have ever had any problems with it. not a single problem has come up...so maybe the problems every new item initially has is truely what is wrong? I don't know but mine is still working great and I am going on 3 months.

I don't recommend this phone to anybody. Although it looks good, and behaves well (for a while), there are technical problems in it that will surface over time. I spoke to the people at t-mobile and they had more then a few reports of problems.
I will go back to Nokia phones.

I have had this phone for over a month now and I absolutely love. Thank you so very much Motorola for creating a camera less phone that is worth owning. My job considers it a felony to bring any type of camera to work and that includes cell phones that have had the cameras disabled. So to have a phone with Bluetooth that will let me completely customize it (mp3 ring tones, java apps, screensavers and wallpapers are limitless on the web), a battery that allows me to talk for hours on end (I recharge every 3 days)and a phone that does not look like the same razr that everyone and their brother owns( or the copy phones). But instead a stylish phone, that feels amazing and is very sturdy…well all I can say is thank you Motorola. For trying to understand a very tiny demographic out there that needs a phone and not a camera.

And Fu...C my favorite Nokia brand for it is not putting a bluetooth in inexpensive phones!
BLUETOOTH is the most imprtant feature to me, not the megapixel crap!

Finally!
Inexpensive phone with a BLUETOOTH!
And most importantly without a garbage camera!
If only Motorola had change its stupid menu structure it would be the best phone on today's merket!
