I've had this phone for a year now and I totally love it! i've lost it once and i still bought the exact same one again...
i think the reception works well as well as the battery life last just enough..
it's light, pretty, slim, everywhere i carry in the world people also love it. the keypad design is also really nice..

I've had this phone for over a year and it still works despite being dropped on hard surfaces a couple of times (not intentionally of course!).However, it would've been great if the battery's life is longer. I still love my v878 though!

Í´ve just read all your problems and let me tell you sth. This phone hasn´t been lunched officialy by Motorola in the Us. Actually it´s a phone for the asian market.
The phones that are available have been brought from service providers or shops. Those phones have been manufactured for an asian network not for Cingular or T-Mobile. That´s why, sth it has problems with internet, sms and that stuff.
It´s obvious that the warranty is not universal, so if you have any problem with the phone Motorola USA does not cover that.
And this is not only for Motorola, in happens with almost all cellphones companies.
So guys, before buying any type of phone, check if it has been lunched officialy (in the website).

Does anyone know if you can change the settings on either the v878 or v635 from a 24hr cloack to a 12 hour clock. Email me, it would be helpful. Thanks.

I had this phone for 1 yr now, it was a nice looking phone but sometimes I find it a bit inconvenient w/out the bluetooth or IR. The reception was ok and the sms entry was not as intuitive as the SE T68 I used previously. Then it started having problems:
1) Both batteries used to last 3 days, but now they last only about 1 1/2 days, so I have to charge it everyday.
2) For some unknow reason it would miss some sms.
3) Finally both the external & internal screens died on me and went completely white. Now I can't even trade in the phone. Good thing I kept my SE T68 for bakcup. Don't think I'll buy another Moto...

I've had the Asian-version V878 for 8+ months now (since September '04). I've dropped it once, but it still works as well as before. The colors on the screen are bright and sharp. It is unfortunate that the camera's resolution is less than one megapixel, but I do like the twilight (night) mode and ability to change the white balance (depending on if you're in the sun or under flourescent or incandescent lighting). Sure, the battery drains quickly, but that's because of the brightness and colors. Also, its reception isn't the greatest, but hey, nobody does it better than Nokia! I gave it a 9 for Design, 8 for Features, and 7 for Performance. All-in-all, I do very much like the V878 and am glad that I spent the money to buy it (back on Sept. '04, it was $350, but I turned in my Nokia 8890 and another, much-older phone for a $150 total discount = only $200 out-of-pocket). In the future, I would like to get either the Nokia 6260 or 7270 to compare it with the V878. Hope that helps, and best wishes to you!! :)

I was planning on buying a Motorola V878 off of E-bay. Just to have an extra phone, But I am glad that I am reading the reviews before I purchased it. Right now at the momment I have a Motorola V551 I am very please with this phone. It does take pic, But not that great. Signal is very good depending where you are at. I am please With this phone. But I do think Motorola needs to refund the money back to customers that paid almost 300 dollars. Or Make the model a higher version and better features. With much luck to all of you guys. If any questions contact me.
Thank you
Chantal

i noticed one post claimed we're all talking about the same phone but my friend got this phone months ago and it came with the CD and data cable and when I got this one, the default setting is in chinese as were the keys and manual. What's the difference between these two?

Hey, i recently got the v878. The phone's so pretty. But it takes a while to connect and sometime you lose your connection. I hate the phone's miltary time as well. Do any of you know how to change it? or can you change it?

Hey People how are we all....Anyway I purchased the Motorola V878 in Melbourne Australia in May of 2004. The price of the handset when it was released in Australia was around the $800 mark. Well about the phone, well.... so far so good, Very small, light, looks great, I think its still one of the smallest, or probably the smallest camera/video camera phone out in the market, even to this very day. I dont know why all these people are complaining with the camera and the phone the V878's camera takes great pix. I have seen some Nokia, Samsung, LG, handsets which have shocking cameras and screen resolution. Oh yeah and another thing I have never had a problem with my screen, Very vibrant 65,000 colour screen! One down side to this phone is that the battery gets drained very quickly I have to recharge it almost every night, and another thing is that it only has 2 megbite of space which is not enough cause constantley I have to keep deleting pictures and video files in order to store more pictures and video's Other than that the V878 is a great little gadget...Cheers!
