To Alex:
I admit the memory is small. Don't know about Nokia cameras, but the v551 should be much better the old ones, did u compare the video quality to the old horrible ones? it is true that battery sucks if you leave on extra features like, screensaver, scroll on menu, have you tried turning those off? Try http://www.motomodders.net as previously mentioned. For music, ringtones, pic, etc.. either data cable or bluetooth. For me I bought an aftermarket bluetooth for about $25-30 U.S. Not that hard. Anywyas, good luck to you if you are switching to Nokia. Ever considered saving up for K750i or other new phones with 1-2 mp?

I'm using a cheap bt dongle. Very important to load the disc software included first before doing anything. I tired to play with bt without loading the disc, it would not work and some files were created so, installing after won't work either, had to dlete those files. So load the software first. There may be a few times the computer can't recognize the phone, just try again, turn on the bt for both. Choose "find me" from connections on your phone. The bt screen from computer should show a motorola icon, double click it and then icons such as file transfer should show up, then drag and drop, should be easy at that point. Hope this helps. Feel free to ask any more questions, cheers!

in my opinion the limited "columns" game that came with this phone really suck. Really missed the Sony Ericsson Tennis game. ANybody know where I could download games for free? Does any Java games work with the V551 or do i have to find Motorola specific ones? Other than that still couldn't find anything wrong with this phone.

Gabby:
To be honest, the 5.5mb memory is really small. Didn't really purposely got this phone, just got it as part of a good contract deal. Anyways, it can store 1.5- 2 mp3 songs depending on mp3 size. However, since I do not rely on it to play music, i just use ringtones(one or two lyrics sentences) and can store a lot of them(11 ringtones with, 4525kb memory of free space left). Comparing to other vga phones out there, this is really good. Much better than k700(i used to have k700). Yes, there is sound when you record from video. Just don't compare this cam to 1mp and more ones. Video recording is much smoother than older phones like k700(very unclear when shooting video and moving it too qucikly). Since this phone is not expensive, cheap with contract, you get a lot of bang for the buck. Very reliable(unlike the v300-v600 series). Although bluetooth is a tiny bit slower to start up than ifrared, but still very convineient. IT really depends on your needs. If you need to listen to alot of music all the time, this phone would not suit you. Other than that, I can't find anything wrong with the phone. Although, I'm still considering the SE w800 later, even if i have the chance to buy that, I may still keep this one.
Cheers

About battery life:
Forgot how long I charged for the first time, but Motorola stated in the menu that overcharging would not harm the phone, so I just charge the phoen before I go to bed and
use it the next morning, At first, I find the battery consupmtion is too fast, but as someone had previously pointed out, cancelling scrol options on menu, avoid using Java and camera for too long(ex. when you are not using it, shut it off), the battery life is alot better. One more thing, very important to get rid of the screensaver. So far no problems. Never screen freeze, quite reliable and the quad-band is very useful when my friend's tr-band phone has no signals. Hope this helps, cheers.

A question about this phone. I was wondering if you can save text messages into the phone and how do you do it if you can? I have like 40 messages in my old phone and I want to transport them into this phone. The sim card by itself cannot save this many messages so I have to be able to save them to the phone. Anybody know how to do this?

I just bought this phone and so far I am very impressed. It is an easy phone to handle and can do many things. The camera isnt half bad either. It is fast and easy to read the screen. To anyone who is looking at phones I really suggest this one.
