If you favor a color flip-phone that can be tuned to match your style, try the Motorola V276.

Experience: 20 Months

Pros: Duralble, easy to use, voice quality

Cons: Poor battery life, limited memory

Summary: I've had this phone for almost two years now (i can't wait to get another!) and it works most of the time. It has by far the worst battery life ever-i've had to replace the battery 3 times now. also the button that keeps the battery case on has broken twice. the camera is really quite average and i always seem to be running out of memory. Maybe its because it comes with all those ridiculous preset pics and animations which it won't let me delete. I do suppose its long lasting. I've dropped this phone countless times and it still works as well as it ever has. Including the bent antenna that is forever getting caught on things.

Pros: It is a good phone that picks up well. I would recommend it to anyone. It has a long lasting battery and a good signal.

Cons: Don't ever get it wet. I have lost two phones because of this problem.Just a little bit of dampness on it will ruin it.

Summary: It is a very good phone but, don't ever get it wet. I dried it out for days on the air conditioner vent and it still wouldn't work. I suggest you have insurance on this product.

The real review of the V276

Overall Rating:

1.3 out of 5

By: Elizabeth Schunzel on Sunday, August 20, 2006
From: Saint Charles, MO (United States)
Experience: 2 Years

Pros: The only thing that has truly been of use to me about this phone is the camera and the warranty!!!!!!!

Cons: I've had nothing but trouble from this phone. From not ringing when a call is coming in , the phone automatically deleting messages, freezing up,and not using the ring tone and name set for the number that is calling. This is my second phone of this model (the warranty replaced the first one when I started having problems] and I am starting to question my decision on buying Motorola products in general!!!

Summary: I DO NOT RECOMEND THIS STYLE OF PHONE! I have had nothing but problems! What stinks is that I'm stuck with it now. I'm very disappointed in my phone and probably not buy another Motorola

A Great Little Phone

Overall Rating:

4 out of 5

By: Curtis Klingelhoets on Monday, August 14, 2006
From: Lander, WY (United States)
Experience: 12 Days

Pros: Camera
Nice Date Book
External Display
Web Access
1 Button Access To Most Used Applications
Voice Memo

Cons: Camera Has No Flash
Camera Is Very Basic

Summary: This is my first cell phone and I am really glad that I picked it up! There is plenty of higher end cell phones out there on the market, but I decided on this on ebecause it had everything I needed in a cell phone without all of the ectra applications I would rarely use and spend a fortune on.
IF you are looking for a small, stylish phone that does the basics, I would gladly recommend this phone.

Experience: 1 Years

Pros: Light-weight
Speakerphone is nice
Touch panel is very organized

Cons: Pictures taken by the camera phone are poor quality

Summary: Overall, this phone will get the job done. It is a tri-mode phone so you can talk anywhere with any kind of signal. Get this phone if you are looking for a cheap phone with a lot of options.

LG eXpo

Overview What's Good: Nice keyboard; good display; fast thanks to 1 GHz Snapdragon processor. What's Bad: Touchscreen was challenging to use at times. Introduction When you look at the LG eXpo, the first thought that comes to mind may be "c'mon, it's just another Windows Mobile phone." Yes, the device runs Windows Mobile (6.5, to be exact), but there are some welcome improvements to this device that make it a better unit than past Windows...

Google launches technical support number for Nexus One

Google launches support number

After ordering the Nexus One for one of my personal accounts, I can safely say that the disconnect between T-Mobile and Google is astonishing (and when I say "astonishing," it's not a compliment). If you read my article on how to order the device, you're well-aware of the challenges. I'm not an analyst by any means, but the issues between existing accounts, family share plans, and the like could be a serious detriment to the sales...

Better iPad: Notion Ink Adam Tablet details sound nice

Notion Ink Adam Specs

Notion Ink's Adam tablet computer is probably the most interesting product on my "when's it gonna launch?" radar. Though I'm currently more excited about iPad just because it actually has a price and ship date, Adam brings all kinds of specs, tech, and potential to the table with its Android-driven, dual-mode display technology. If you're not yet familiar with Adam, check out my post-CES writeup on it. Notion Ink CEO Rohan Shravan had a chat...

Google reduces Nexus One equipment recovery fee to $150

Google reduces Nexus One ETF

In an effort to quell user complaints about the company's high "equipment recovery fee" (in addition to T-Mobile's early termination fee, nonetheless), Google has dropped the fee from $350 to $150 for those that cancel their contracts in the first 120 days. That being said, that's still $350 total to pay to Google and T-Mobile ($150 and $200, respectively) - still too high, in my opinion. The move comes after the FCC sent letters to...

Spy Shot: Is this (part of) the next iPhone?

iPhone 4G Spy Shot

Get out your salt shakers, it's alleged spy photo time! iPhone repair site iResQ has what they claim are parts from the upcoming fourth-generation Apple iPhone, due to be launched later this year. According to photos on the site, the new iPhone's front panel (right, above) will be approximately 1/4" taller than the current iPhone 3GS (left, above). The photos also show what iResQ is calling a "reflective surface" on the front panel just above...

2.1 on Droid: Multitouch but no 3D effects?

Android 2.1 on Droid

Chris from Engadget says he got word that Verizon is currently testing Android 2.1 "Eclair" on the Motorola Droid. The build mentioned is 2.1 version 1, the same version pushed out to Nexus One owners last week. Nobody's got any word on a release date - or even verification that the update will, in fact, be released at all. But let's be optimistic (and realistic, I think) and say that Droid owners should be getting some multitouch Web love...

iPhone OS 3.1.3

According to Adriana, any of you running your iPhones unlocked on T-Mobile should hold off on installing the newest iPhone OS update. Looks like iPhone 3.1.3 breaks TMo connectivity for iPhone 3GS and 3G models - apparently the first-gen iPhones aren't affected. Any of you running iPhone unlocked on Magenta? If so, can you confirm or deny this? Better yet, are you hard at work on a solution? More over at Today's iPhone. [Via: PhoneArena]

Thats Incredible: Verizon-bound HTC Android 2.1 phone leaked

HTC Incredible

Pocketnow got hold of some leaked photos of a phone marked, "HTC Incredible." Based on the specs accompanying the leak, this device might just live up to its name - if you're looking for a high-end Android handheld to run on Verizon. Incredible (aka code-name "Bravo," I believe) is said to feature Android 2.1 and HTC Sense running on a Snapdragon-based platform backed by 256MB of RAM. The device will feature a 3.5" + WVGA touchscreen (AMOLED?),...

Foursquare for BlackBerry

I don't much care for Foursquare. The social networking site, that is. The schoolyard game with a kickball? AWESOME. The check-in thingy? Don't really like it. But lots of people do, apparently. They enjoy filling their twitter feeds with things like, "I am now the mayor of Taco Bell!" and, "I'm at Pet Food Plaza at 123 Main Street." Well, okay, good for you, Mayor! So it's good - for them - that there's a Foursquare app for BlackBerry....

Motorola Super Bowl Ad

Is it me or have this year's Super Bowl ads been pretty underwhelming thus far? There's about five and a half minutes to go in the game as I write this, so there's still time for a miracle, but so far? Eh. That much-hyped Google ad? Vaguely clever yet supremely boring (seriously, who wants to read an entire TV ad?). I kind of liked the VW ad, mainly because the Stevie Wonder/Tracy Morgan bit was unexpected and hilarious. Otherwise? A lot...

Google ships 80,000 Nexus One devices in January

Google ships 80k N1 phones

While the Motorola DROID and the Apple iPhone celebrated larger first month numbers (525,000 and 600,000, respectively), the announcement of 80,000 Nexus One devices (which translates into a steady 20,000 per week) is still a relatively strong number for Google. I'm sure Google would have liked to have broken the 100,000 mark, but the fact that they're going strong four weeks later (and their weekly totals haven't dropped) is a positive...
