The Motorola v505

The following technical Motorola v505 review is computer-generated with this phone's specifications, it is in no way an actual hands-on review. It outlines its pros and cons so you can make a sound decision.

The Good:

  1. Technology: The Motorola v505 works with global GSM frequencies which is convenient if you travel overseas frequently. (Roaming fees from your home carrier generally apply) (score: 7/7)
  2. Talk Time: 390 minutes of talking time. It is excellent! (score: 20/20)
  3. Stand-by Time: A stand-by time of 200 hours. It is quite good! (score: 16/20)
  4. Phone Book: It can store up to 1000 phone book entries, which is quite good! (score: 20/20)
  5. Speakerphone: It has a speakerphone, which can prove useful in a car or in other situations. (score: 10/10)
  6. 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 Not-So-Good:

  1. Weight: 4.3 ounces of weight is somewhat above average. You could find that phone a bit bulky. (score: 4/20)
  2. Camera: The 640 x 480 built-in camera is basic. Useful, but you won't make artwork with it. (score: 3/10)

Overall Score: 87
