Motorola V500 / V525 / V505
Average Ratings
V500, Not exactly the greatest, here's why...

Where do I start? The V500 has its positive and negative sides. The absolute number 1 problem with the v500 has to be the bluetooth... its very very rubbish! Mine never connects with any kind of bluetooth device, others can connect with me but only on rare occassions.
The other real beef I have with this phone is the screen. Yes its nice and good res, but it too is unreliable. Mine malfunctioned and had to be sent off to Motorola to be fixed... The phone does have some positive points though, such as being able to use a USB data cable, the camera, and the memory isnt bad.
All in all, the V500 would be good for a more novice phone-user, one that isnt intending on using things such s bluetooth, and doesnt mind its unreliability in favour of the other features.
what a user UNFRIENDLY phone!!!!

Let me start by saying I'm no "Newbie" to cell phones. I've been working in the industry since 1995 .. I'm now a supervisor in the technical support department of customer service for one of the biggest GSM/TDMA service providers in the USA.
I just got this v505 to replace the Nokia 3650 I was using.
WHAT A JOKE.
The navigation and user menus are not intuitive at all. You can't email pictures from the phone to an email address.
The bluetooth is impossible to get to work.
it doesn't come with any software to put in your PC to ease the synchronization process.. I thought it came with a USB cable.. it didn't .. .it didn't come with a headset either!
sure, the voice quality is good, but these days, pretty much all the phones have good voice quality, so it's pretty much expected
Love It!!

Just picked this phone up today and already I love it! I returned a couple of Samsung E316's which were horrible. Check the Samsung page for my review on that phone. Anyway, the reception is excellent! Phone changes from AT&T's towers to Cingular"s towers with ease. I was on a call for 50 minutes while driving and I only experience garbled/choppy audio maybe twice. Feels real solid and well built. My number priority in choosing a phone is reception. I could care less about bluetooth and all that.
PROS:
+ Reception
+ Build quality
+ Audio clarity
CONS:
- No earpiece or carry holster included

After eight warranty exchanges on my Motorola T-720 the past year (*scream*), I'm hoping for better luck with this model. So far, I love the speakerphone feature and the reception is much better.
The camera has a 4x zoom--impressive for a camera phone. The voice-dial feature worked wonderfully.
The battery charging time seems longer than with the other Motorola models I've owned. Perhaps because it's still a fairly new battery?
I'm keeping fingers crossed that my days spent talking to AT&T warranty exchange is over! I'll post again in a few weeks with an update.
Very Good Phone

All I have to say is that this phone is very stable and reliable
Pros:
Good Sound Quality, Great battery life, excellent bluetooth, MP3, great signal strength, Video playback, Instant message
Cons:
Sometimes you have to press the keys hard
for numbers to go through.
I hate the phonebook. Motorola never really had good phonebooks anyway.
The V505 Phone is very, very good phone. No complaints.
Great phone

I love this phone!! I had the samsung x426 and was considering getting the samsung e316 but I wanted to try a different model( the samsung broke on me 1 to many times) I made the best choice. the speaker phone is great the real tones sound great the screen is big and very clear. I have attws (cingular) GSM service and I have not had one dropped or unclear call yet. Motorola has made the antenna removable ( so you can screw it off) so I dont have to worry about the antenna issues that I had with my old V60i.Its a heavier phone and does not seem easily breakable. Overall I love the phone. I had to pay a little more then I wanted to but it was well worth it. GET THIS PHONE!!!
Motorola V550

This phone is great if you know how to handle a real phone! I demo phones and this one is far the most sophisticated yet. Blue tooth and the feature's are great. I give thumbs up!
