Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Very Good
Review: I upgraded to the V60i a few months ago and have been very satisfied with it. The compact size makes it easy to carry and it comes with a clip, so that I can hook it to my purse strap or belt.

I have no complaints about reception even though quite a few of my friends in the area have major problems with the reception on their phones. This may be due to the AT&T service and not the phone, but it is worth mentioning as I have never had calls drop out nor lost signal.

What I like most about this phone though is the alarm clock funtion. I am able to have many different alarms at one time. This comes in handy due to a changing schedule - I can just select a preset alarm time instead of setting a new alarm each night. What a great feature!

Basically I am very satisfied with this phone and with AT&T service and would recommend it to anyone in the market for a new phone.

Summary: It was free, so I can't complain
Review: I've had my Motorola V60i for about six months. Fortunately I haven't had any major problems with it. I've had no problems at all with the antenna. If people are putting the phone in their back pocket and sitting on it, they shouldn't be surprised if the antenna breaks off. Other than that, it seems to be just as durable as any other phone with an external antenna.

One of the minor problems I've had with this phone has been that sometimes when I plug in the charger, either nothing happens or it says "unable to charge." I have to fiddle with it to get it to work (unplug the charger, plug it back in, wiggle it, unplug it again, plug it back in, etc.). This happens with the AC charger as well as the car charger.

This phone has very good sound quality compared to some of the other phones I've used. It has plenty of volume, and there is a handy volume control button on the side of the phone which is very convenient.

The V60i has the ability to record short voice memos. Very handy.

The voice dialing feature is convenient and fun to use.

The metal enclosure is attractive and stylish. It has a "professional" look to it.

Best of all, I got this phone for free by signing up for a 1-year contract with AT&T.

Summary: so-so phone
Review: I've had my V60i for 3-4 weeks now and I have mixed opinions about it. I like the small size and I have had no problems so far with reception. This is my first cell phone, though, and have noticed that the sound quality (when I'm talking on the phone or when I get a call from someone who has this same phone) seems to be mediocre at best compared to my land line phone. If you want a phone with sound quality akin to your land line phone, this isn't it.

I too, like one of the other reviewers, have had my phone change ring modes on me without my consciously having changed it.

The software that drives the menus on this phone is nutty. Sometime you push the right softkey to open the item, other times you have to press the MENU key - but it doesn't show that as a choice - you just have to "know" to press MENU when all else fails.

I had a lot of trouble with AT&T customer service setting up my voice mail. It seems to be a really big deal for them for some reason, and probably half the people I talked to do didn't know how to set it up and were just reading the instructions off their computer screen. When a step didn't work, it was always, "let me put you on hold a minute".

Summary: My phone is possessed!
Review: I've had this phone a few months.

Recently, it has started redialing on it's own. It doesn't matter whether I am holding it, or it is sitting next to me. It will redial the last person I spoke with. This has become more frequent in the last few days, even redialing while I am talking to someone (thus ending that conversation).

The cover is jiggly. I do not, as one reviewer suggested, keep this phone in my pocket. I keep it in a pocket in my handbag. Nonetheless, the cover is loose.

The phone menu is still confusing, after using it for a few months.

The voicemail is horrible. One must listen to the entire message before it can be deleted, wasting time and minutes.

Sometimes I receive messages days later.

The only good thing about it is its small, but not too small, size.

Summary: could be better
Review: In the past 4 months, our family has purchases 3 v60i phones. The sound quality is better than our previous Nokia phones, but honestly, that is the only feature that we like better. We have had to replace one phone already due to antenna breakage. We were told to send the phone to Motorola for repair. But we had to pay for shipping and we would have been without a phone for a week. 2 of our phones will sometimes not ring. Calls go straight to voice mail. When I call customer service at ATT, we are told that the phones needed to be reset. This has happened on many occasions. Never with Nokia. There isn't an alarm clock, the phone book is more difficult to navigate, the smart key gets pressed easily.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Excellent phone, with the right network
Review: It seems a lot of these reviews are bashing the v60i because of reception. I know this review is supposed to be of AT&T service, but whatever. The problem with reception and voice mail is because of AT&T not the phone. I have a v60i with alltel and over the past 10 months have had next to no problems (save for a broken antenna, fixed at the alltel store that day for $10) This phone has all the features and is extremely durable. A great buy.

Summary: Very Good
Review: Looks nice, works well, and doesn't have extra stuff that you don't actually use. Just everything you NEED, making it a resonable price.

Summary: What a piece of junk!
Review: No Alarm Clock, the antenna breaks off easily, it's heavier than other phones, the calculator is hard to use, it has useless features. I loved my LG VX1 phone way, way, more, but Verizon's insurance company forced this Moto V60i replacement on me when my LG became a little flakey after 2 years of great service.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Good phone, lousy antenna
Review: The antenna lasted 1 month in my pocket and I'm not that hard on phones. If the antenna were just a bit flexible I think it would last much longer. It is VERY hard to get into the phone to the battery, so if you plan to use two rotating batteries you should keep a little screwdriver handy. I have the nice desk charger with a spot for an extra battery.

Service has been pretty good compared to what I expected. Battery live is wonderful. I never thought I'd use the voice dialing feature (you speak the person's name and it dials) but it is very cool and I use it regularly.

If I cannot find an antenna replacement solution I plan to turn this phone in and trade up. It's a shame that this ruins an otherwise nice phone.

I have an idea for phone companies. Since we can send emails to our phones, why not allow us to send a "specially formatted" email to the phone which adds/removes/changes a contact. You know, something like ?+>Firstname=Joe Lastname=Smith. The phone could parse the information and plug it into the address book, then delete the message. Sweeet feature if it were there.
