Motorola v60p Technical Analysis

This technical analysis outlines the strong and weak points of the Motorola v60p. The strongest points are listed with a (+) sign while the weakest points have a (-) sign before them. This Motorola v60p analysis is generated automatically based on our specifications for that phone and since manufacturers do not always detail technical specifications clearly, some information may be missing.

(+) Weight and Size: The Motorola v60p weighs only (oz): 4.43. This is relatively lighter than average and should make this phone comfortable to use and carry around

(-) Camera: It doesn't feature a camera, which is not a necessary feature but may be handy and enhance your cellular experience.

(+) Phone Book: It can store 500 phone book entries

(+) Built-in Speakerphone: It has a built-in speakerphone, which can prove useful in a car or in other situations where you need to use your hands while talking.

(-) Battery Performance: It has only a maximum rated standby time of 50 to 55 hours and a talk time of 163 to 270 minutes, and it may be too low for your needs, especially if you travel a lot and plan to use your cell phone often

(-) Color Display: No color display here but if the phone doesn't have a camera, color is not a necessary feature, except that it can help browsing the wireless web or playing games.

(+) Analog Roaming: It supports analog roaming. Analog is the older North-American cellular technology, however North-American networks are increasingly converting to large digital-only networks, which makes analog a not-so-useful feature (check coverage maps for your area to discriminate on that aspect).

(+) Push-to-Talk (PTT): . The Motorola v60p supports Push-to-talk (PTT), a technology that allows you to instantly talk to other people owning a PTT phone on the same network, just by the push of a button, as with a walkie-talkie. This may be interesting to shop with your lover or work on a special project, etc.

(-) Bluetooth: It is not Bluetooth-enabled. Bluetooth is not really necessary but may be handy if you want to use a wireless headset or exchange data with your (Bluetooth-enabled) laptop, for instance.

(-) Infrared: It doesn't feature an infrared port. Infrared is convenient, especially if you own a laptop (most laptops are infrared equipped), you can then use your computer to transfer contacts, ringtones or pictures (if the phone supports these functions) to the Motorola v60p.

(+) Text Messaging: It features a special way of typing text, either a full keyboard or some predictive text entry method such as T9 or iTAP. This is useful if you need to send short messages: it's much faster.

(-) Voice Note: It doesn't feature a voice note system. A voice note system is pretty useful to make quick notes and reminders while on the road.

(+) Free Custom Ringtones: . It seems to support ringtone customization in a do-it-yourself manner, but we recommend double-checking. To help assess this phone's behavior with ringtones, check out the ringtone compatibility list.
