    Pros: flip-phone, descent camera, speakerphone capabilities, design
    Cons: terrible battery life, charging port unacceptable, dropped calls, phone shuts off when you flip it open
    Additional Comments: This is the second v265 that I have owned and I am still having the same problems with it that I had with the first one. The charging port is terrible and does not work all the time. Battery life is really low, after two calls it goes from 3/3 life to 1/3. Worst phone I have ever owned.

    Cons: Battery charger and battery very problematic.
    Additional Comments: I have taken this piece of junk to Verizon store at many occation, they have given me new charger or place the batter at least 3-4 times within last 1 year. They deny there is a problem with the phone. Now I am out of warrany and out of luck. I cannot charge my phone at all. This is my last Motorola phone, I don't if they fix the problem. They don't stand behind their product, they lost me as customer forever.
