Summary: Surprising Disappointment
Review: After 5 years, my Nokia 6160 finally died. It was a great phone. With AT&T service, it got great reception nearly everywhere. Not only in the city, where I normally used it, but in some pretty remote places in the mountains or along the coast as well. My challenge was to find a good replacement. I didn't like the new generation of gimmicky phones currently offered by Nokia, so I chose the straight- forward Motorola V60i color. (My phone is not a toy. I need it to be a phone.) It is one of the few phones that offer an optional hard mounted hands-free kit. (With all the proposed legislation to take telephones out of our cars, most of the cell phone company geniuses are now offering us ear-buds and a car full of wires in lieu of real hands-free kits.) I am very disappointed with the Motorola V60i phone. While it is pretty easy to use and is small and easy to carry, the reception, on the exact same AT&T network I was using before with my Nokia, is terrible. I drop calls where I have never dropped calls before. And I'm dropping a lot of them. I was hoping to stay on the TDMA network a little longer and wait for the GSM network to get more coverage. So I'm back out looking for another cell phone.

Summary: There are better phones out there
Review: Battery life is terrible, only 2 hrs of talk time. Hinge on flip is not as sturdy as other brands. Reception is ok down to 2 out of 5 bars. I will stick with Samsung phones in the future.

Summary: It's your carrier and sloppy handling, phone is great
Review: Get a Tracfone. No extra costs other than the cards. The Motorola V60i is great. If you take care of it it works just wonderful. I will never go to a wireless carrier again. They just don't care for their customers. Tracfone is far nicer to their customers, and bend over backwards to help. This is a great phone.

Summary: A well-balanced and affordable phone. Highly recommended.
Review: I am currently using the Motorola v60ci (which is the CDMA version of the v60i, with the same features and specifications) since my Samsung A540 recently died a death and I decided to switch brands. I have heard mixed reviews about the older versions, but I find this newer version to be exemplary in all ways that matter. Here is the breakdown of my impressions: Build Quality: 4/5 - The metal shell is very durable and gives the phone a nice weight, so at least you don't forget that you're carrying it. The flip is responsive and solid, and closes with a satisfying "snap". The only downside to this is that the attachment tends to wiggle a lot when not flipped up, which is disheartening but not a big deal. The buttons have a nice tactile feeling, which is a big improvement over newer phones with flush or tapered keypads. The biggest downside is the bulky and flimsy antenna, which will most likely break off over time. Sound Quality and RF Performance: 5/5 - I have used quite a few cell phones, and this one is unsurpassed for sound quality. The earpiece is loud enough to hear in noisy environments, and the voice on the other end is always loud and clear. Unique to this phone is that the voices seem to have a lot of bass to them, which is a good thing since there is nothing worse than tinny and flat sound quality. In terms of RF (signal strength), it is better than any phone I've used. It can hold a signal in most places where my old phones could not, and the phone works well at the weakest signal. Features: 4/5 - The v60i is an improvement over the v60c and v60g, which had relatively few features. This model has the expected games, internet browser, phonebook features, and settings control. The menus are fantastic, and easy to navigate. What it lacks is some of the modern bells and whistles, which I do not personally care too much about. A color screen and a camera is nice, but a phone is not a toy, so anything beyond the required features is peripheral. Battery Life: 3/5 - My phone lasts for around 3 days on standby, with moderate usage. In terms of talk time, I usually get around 2.5 hours. Not too bad, but not the best either. Considering that I never play the games and rarely use the browser, it should last longer. Overall, I am very happy with this phone, and this comes after a long period of searching for the right phone. It has a few shortcomings, but it has the right balance of useful features and functionality, so it is a safe bet for most people.

Summary: Bad signal and service
Review: I bought this phone with AT&T service national plan. The phone is OK but the signal is very bad and appears roaming often even at home area.
The worst thing is the service. You don't know how much time you have left even they have "view minutes" in the website. I have been charged for air time a lot because they will tell you the website is not accurate up to 48 hours. But I found it is not updated for weeks!

Summary: Fair phone, poorly designed antenna
Review: I deeply regret that I didn't exchange the phone for something else when I had the chance. Sure, there are positives. The phone is small, looks sharp, and feels good in your hand. Menus are easy to navigate, numbers are easily added to the phone book, and the voice-activitated calling feature works well. But: The phone can be difficult to hear with even a small amount of background noise. The ability to pick up a signal isn't as good as my wife's low-end Nokia (on the same network). And then there's the antenna. Unless you're SUPER careful, you'll break it every couple of months. Ten bucks a pop to replace it (or $8.50 if you buy 2 at a time). And heaven help you if you break the plastic BASE of the antenna, which the repair people tell me is a common problem. You do that, and the phone has to be shipped to Motorola -- 7 to 10 days before you get it back, and a $75 charge if you're not insured. I've decided to SUPERGLUE mine until I buy another phone. My advice: don't waste your money on this one. There are much better choices.

Summary: V 60 UBBERALLES
Review: I don't have this phone exactally. I have the 60 V. This is the same basic unit but the original issue. So I have had it for 2 to 3 years. I just want to say it 's perfect for me. It sounds good is a nice size ect. AND THE ANTENNA IS JUST FINE. Just dont put it in your pocket and sit on it. IDIOTS. I do keep mine in a case but I drop it often with no ill effects.The battery life seems to be shorter with age so I think I am either going to have it replaced or upgrade to this version. PS. HANG UP AND DRIVE !
