The Bottom Line: Easy to use, great sound, and an overall good cell phone. It's very basic and I think that's what makes the V60 phone great.

| thechuunt's Full Review: Motorola V60t |
The Motorola V60t phone is offered through service with AT&T. The phone is tri-mode and has basic features. This may be a plus for many users since the interface is simple and useful. The phone has a silver covering and flips open. I guess many people will by this phone for a few reasons: tiny and cool looking, or it’s free. I got this phone because it was free and it looked decent. I have had it for 1 month and am very pleased with it and the service on it.
Antenna
Believe it or not, this is one of the best features. The antenna is about half an inch and this provides better clarity. I have had Nokia phones before and I definitely notice the clarity difference with having an external antenna.
LCD
The LCD screen is backlit by an aqua blue light. It makes things very easy to read and see. Many will be turned off by this phone because it offers no color screen. This is a stylish and simple phone that does it’s job.
Size
Tiny phone, fits in the palm of your hand. It’s a flip phone with external caller ID. Sometimes it’s hard to manage for the size but you get used to it quickly. It’s about 4 quarters in length.
Tri-Mode
The phone has the ability to operate in: analog, TDMA 1800mhz and 1900mhz. This is specific to your area of service for the phones operation mode.
User Interface
Motorola has made this phone very easy to navigate. The menus are small but you can scroll quite easily. You have maybe 6 lines of text and can scroll one to two lines at a time. The LCD helps in the navigation process and the menus are very useful. Nothing flashy but your typical phone book, voice dialing, voice recorder, games, ring tones, and calculator.
Personal Data
This is not a phone if you are planning to use it as a PDA. There aren’t enough functions and programs to run to make this phone useful as a personal assistant. This phone is strictly a cell phone. That’s primarily the reason I like it, no extra flashy stuff. There is software and an external USB connector if you like to sync up with your PC but I’m not sure how useful this would be with this type of phone.
Radio
The phone also has an FM radio that has decent clarity. However this drains your battery quite fast.
Conclusion
The V60 is an excellent phone with long battery life (3 hr talk time) and excellent ergonomic features. The phone I bought only came with a Lithium-Ion battery, charger, and a manual. You definitely need the plastic holster, hands free mic, and car charger. Get these off of eBay for 7 bucks as opposed to 50 at the cell phone store. This phone serves it’s purpose with clarity, usefulness, and looks. Very simple phone that gets the job done. Motorola has done an excellent job with this phone.
