Motorola V360 Phone for T-Mobile

Date Published: 6/4/08

Built with a sizeable 262K-color screen, this lightweight clamshell phone is well suited for consumers with multimedia applications as their focus. The tri-band phone is loaded with both a high-quality VGA camera and an audio player. The audio player can play both MP3 and AAC files, while the VGA camera delivers reasonable video clips and good photos that can be taken with a flash or a 4x digital zoom. All of these can be stored in the 5MB internal memory or on an optional removable TransFlash card up to 512K in size. Sound quality for the MP3s is very good, but you'll want to buy your own stereo headset. Otherwise, the phone provides good reception with its internal antenna, and features are easily navigated. The battery life is quite respectable at 6 hours of talk time andup to 140 - 240 hours of standby. Other features include: Bluetooth, USB connectivity, speakerphone, external LCD, 1000-entry phonebook, vibrating ring, and 2-way messaging.

Warranty
1-year limited
