    Review Title: Motorola V170 Bad Battery life (by Healer1) - 01/13/2007

    Ratings for the following topics:
  • - Sound Quality
  • - Ringtone Volume
  • - Strength of Signal Reception
  • - Keypad
  • - Display
  • - Selection of Features
  • - Text Messaging

    Pros: Good Screen, Good keypad
    Cons: Atrocious batterylife approx 30-40 hrs, poor ring volume,Vibrate is intermittent
    Additional Comments: Downloading ringtones is impossible and the battery only lasts about 30-40 hrs. before it requires a recharge making it unreliable for extended travel over 2 days without charging capability. Most unreliable as an emergency contact device. Messages can be pushed to you but you can not reply in many areas. Will not have another for any reason. Frequently shows no service or emergency service only.

  • - Selection of Features

    Pros: probably best tracfone beside c261, cool design, games, only 30.00, will last a while, long battery life, good signal overall
    Cons: no internet, no extra games to buy, everyone with a brain knows that the shell made of nice plastic, no speakerphone or PTT, the screen is too low and small, underrated
    Additional Comments: This is a nice phone for kids, or those who prefer prepaid, also, the screen is small, but if Motorola placed the screen in the exact middle of the phones flip cover, it would maybe look nicer. Overall, it's a nice phone and almost invincable to drops from your pocket.
