Motorola - V60Motorola v60 – Window to the World
I have a confession to make. As a sworn user of Nokia mobile phones, there would be no way I would be compromised into using any other phone than the cute and innovative phones produced by Nokia.
Alas – I beg to differ. As I held the v60 in my hands – I knew I held a gem – a treasure so many have been searching for, and not finding – and now – all is revealed in this tiny work of art – Motorola’s latest offering to the mobile world: a stylish and sleek device which oozes elegance and sophistication. What more could a lady ask for?
It fits perfectly on the contours of my face when I'm speaking on the phone.
Handling
With dimensions bearing a little larger than its v8088 predecessor, this little baby doesn’t feel its size and weight at all. Feeling right at home in the palms of my hands, its 87mm (l) x 45mm (w) x 25mm (d) dimensions sits comfortably in my little black bag, as well as fits perfectly on the contours of my face when I’m speaking on the phone. Its 103 grams feels just perfect: barely enough to be noticeable – weather its being held or not.
Features
I have got to say – this little thing packs heaps. Heralded as being designed to be intuitive and easy to use, with improved user navigation and visual cues, the v60 promises to deliver and satisfy. However, Nokia users be cautioned. A change is always good, but the navigation system on the v60 needs a little getting used to. I found myself hitting the “Send/Call” key every time I try to cancel a function. It is just because that key is on the right of the phone, where the “Hang up/Cancel” button is on the Nokia. However, after a few tries and play-around, I got the hang of doing things the Motorola way. It is different, and it is definitely a change from what we are normally used to, and I have got to say – I could get use d to the Motorola way of ding things.
The thing that got my heart racing was the cute little one-line (96x16) display window right out at the front on the cover of the phone. Christened the “External Caller ID Display”, it enables the identification of callers – without the bother of needing to open the phone (like its predecessors). When in call, the phone number is removed from the external display for discrete operations, and when on standby mode, the date and time are displayed.
The other feature that puts the v60 in front of the pack is its second-generation GPRS capabilities (1up/4down links). With the technology in development for further utilisation by consumers, the power of maintaining an “always-on” connection to the Internet is somewhat of a desirable state – and with a GPRS ready phone like the v60, fast and easy data access is literally at one’s fingertips.
Large and clear display
The smart key on the side of the phone enables for an easy way to perform many functions with just one touch. For example, it allows for the external display to show the incoming messages when the flip is closed. By using the smart key with the volume keys, the phone’s alert can be changed in the external display. They don’t call it the “Smart Key” for nothing!
The other features that fill up the phone are the standards, which you find in any other phone, i.e. phone book (250 entries), calculator, games (3 – Paddle Ball, Mind Blaster and Black Jack) text message capabilities, profile personalisation as well as having about 25 different tones to match your moods.
Is it for me?
Available in Charcoal Black and Metallic Silver, the v60 puts the punch back in little flip phones. Just when I was giving up on Motorola’s phone designs! Having a GSM 900/1800/1900 MHz tri-band capability makes a huge difference as well – there is no need to lug around 3 phones if I were to travel to all seven continents of the world – the v60 packs it up and gives me the roaming capabilities I need in each continent.
Definitely for someone who seeks style and sophistication – the v60 will satisfy till the end as it combines refined elegance with the latest in wires technology.
Motorola fans eat your hearts out – the next generation of style and functionality is here to stay with the v60! |
