This technical Motorola V1050 review is based on a computer algorithm, it is not based on a live hands-on review. It takes a close look at its strong and weak points to help you make a sound decision.
The Good:
- Technology: The Motorola V1050 is compatible with global frequencies of the GSM standard which is convenient if you travel overseas frequently. (Roaming fees from your home carrier generally apply) (score: 7/7)
- Phone Book: It can store a variable number of phone book entries. This is generally the case of phones with a dynamic memory and, it usually allows for a lot of phone numbers to be stored. (score: 20/20)
- Memory Expansion Slot: It includes a memory expansion slot TransFlash, a convenient way to store more pictures and music or transfer them from and to your laptop computer. (score: 10/10)
- Speakerphone: It has a speakerphone, which will prove useful in a car or in other situations. (score: 10/10)
- Wireless Data System: Bluetooth-enabled, which is an interesting plus. Bluetooth is not really necessary but may be handy if you want to use a wireless headset or transfer data to or from your (Bluetooth-enabled) laptop, for instance. (score: 7/7)
The Average:
- Camera: 1.3 megapixel camera built-in the Motorola V1050 is considered a quite good camera. (score: 7/10)
The Not-So-Good:
- Weight: 4.79 oz of weight is somewhat above average. You could find the Motorola V1050 a bit bulky. (score: 4/20)
- Talk Time: 130 minutes of talking time. Not quite sufficient for most users, in my opinion. (Find phones with more battery life) (score: 4/20)
- Stand-by Time: 145 hours of stand-by time. This is just basic. (score: 8/20)
Overall Score: 81
