Pros: Small size, ease of use, clear controls

The Bottom Line: I'd buy another one in a heartbeat; too bad they're no longer being made.

| smithster's Full Review: Motorola V60t |
I bought this phone after I dropped my 5-year-old Nokia 282 flip phone. It was $125 through TracFone, and was just about to go out of production when I got it in July of this year.
What amazed me right off the bat was how much smaller it was than the Nokia; the second thing I noticed was how much more powerful it was. I can be in the interior of a department store and still get calls; couldn't do that with the Nokia.
The time to charge the battery with the enclosed plug-in wall charger is less than a half hour, and the amount of time between charges is amazing; I've gotten as much as 5 days on standby. It would be nice if the charge indicator had more than three bars, though, to give a more accurate view of how much charge the batteries have left.
The various keys might be too small for people with brawnier hands; I didn't have any trouble.
The black-and-white display is clear and easy to read, and there are far more entries in this phone's electronic phonebook than I could ever use.
If you're unhappy with this phone's platinum color, its faceplates are removeable, and there are a myriad of colors and designs available.
