| firebreak110's Full Review: Motorola V60t |
I recently picked up this phone when i switched calling plans but mainly because my other phone was...let me say damaged. I was a little careless with it. I was looking to buy something a lot smaller than the 6120 that I was previsously using and this phone seemed like the winner. Don't get me wrong, the Nokia is a very good phone but all of their newer smaller phones made me feel as though I was talking to my hand instead of into the phone.
Pros:
Stylish Design-The folks over at Motorola really have gotten it right with this design. The polished aluminum case adds a futuristic look to this phone, like something out of the movies.
Size:-The small size of this phone allows it to go everywhere I do, whether it be in my pocket or clipped onto my belt.
Recpetion-The reception I recieve using this phone is by far the best that I have used. I come from an area where cell phone coverage is decent but not spectacular. I have gotten reception everywhere my 6120 previously did not. I haven't dropped a call yet and people on the other end can here my perfectly. I use this phone with ATT so other carriers might be a little different.
External Caller ID-This was a very, very smart addition to this phone on the part of Motorola. It is very convenient when answering calls but more importantly is displays easy access to the date and time when the phone is not open.
Cons:
Antenna-This antenna is a marked improvement on the antenna of the V60C (verizon) especially in the sense that the housing is built up and the antenna doesn't retract making it stronger but it is still too bulky. It can stab into your leg but i guess to have clear reception you gotta have a good antenna.
Cost-This was the hardest thing to come by. Money is a concern to almost everyone and this phone does not really help you in that department. I can be bought anywhere from 199 to 399 and that can be a whole lot of money especially since providers are giving away free phones all the time.
I have had wonderful experience with this phone and would not trade it for anything in the world. I've only had it now for about 2.5 weeks so I haven't had time to really test it out but so far its doing good. I've already logged almost 7 hours into it and everything seems to be as promised.
I have heard a number of people tell me that the case is extremely scratchable so I would strongly advise you to get a case for the phone becasue no matter how careful we all are accidents do happen and with a phone like this an accident can be very expensive.
