Review: Motorola V8

.

MOTORAZR² V8
An ultra-slim design makes this the thinnest RAZR yet at 11.9mm

The MOTORAZR² V8 brings the revolutionary RAZR form to a new level of sophistication and function. Packed with powerhouse features, this unbelievably strong stainless steel structure feeds the appetite for music, browsing, email and video. With an impossibly sleek profile that’s slimmer than the original RAZR, MOTORAZR² makes faster connections and features bigger, more brilliant screens. You get all the style plus all the power with the new MOTORAZR².

Today we will be looking at Motorola V8, its the new MotoRazr 2 mobile phone, the one here is 512MB internal memroy thers a 2GB internal memory edition which still not in the currently Singapore market yet (hope it will come around soon)

Its running os 500Mhz processor speed which is pretty cool for a motorola phone, Linux base mobile phone, quad-band GSM and EDGE phone, it features two 240x320 TFT screens (one internal 2.2" and one external touchscreen 2.0") great!

Whats in the box! The phone, battery, USB 2.0 cable, stereo headset, charger, users' guide, Mobile phone tool and Windows Media Player 11.

Back view with battery cover, The back portion of the phone are cover with rubbrised material just like Palm Treo 750.

Front view: Camera and 240 x 320 external screen

The best part of the phone is the large size but yet sleek, shinny and glossy metalic body that gives a solid and elegant feel.

Side view: Voice command button

Top View

Side view: Volume buttons, side select key and usb port (for chargging, cable and headset)


Bottom View: Speaker

Open View: the overall size of the phone is pretty large compare to Nokia 8600 Luna and V3i. To me this is the best part because its slim and this give a strong stylish feel when you are using the phone where the whole metalic external screen are shown as your hand hold stadily on the lower part of the phone.

Even it has two 240 x 320 screen V8 is still very slim and sleek

Closed up button view

micro USB stereo headset with stylish mic. It would be better if it come with a clip or have it loop around the neck type thus its easier to just "hang around" while you do not need them shortly.

Overall Motorola V8 is a very good phone whether its design, bulit quality (I ditched my Nokia 8600 Luna for this babe) and functions compare to V3 and V3i. But with whatever reason it does not come with vibrate and ring functions and thats bad. Fortunately like other Motorola phone its very customizble we are able to flesh the phone with the desired firmware, language pack, Java application. So I flashed my phone with a new UK firmware and a asia laguage pack and everything is cool. The syn with PC (Outlook) is smooth but it does not syn Notes. MotoX Forum provide many info for Motorola Phones do check them out. V8 is great for advance user if you do not like "customizing" your phone then this might not be for you. The music player is easy to use, playlist are simple and direct to create, and its A2DP is great!
