| Ungie's Full Review: Motorola V3620 Cell Phone |
This is the best phone I've ever had but that comes with a price. There are phones that connect to the web, phones that play tetris and phones with 50 different rings. This phone only pretends to be a phone and does an excellent job. It has the most (phone) features of any phone I've seen and the only feature I've seen out there to beat it is a phone that can store more then 99 numbers. Besides being the smallest phone around and vibrating, the phone has a built in answering machine that will answer the phone for you as long as you are in range. I use this feature a lot. I have first incoming minute free so the call cost me nothing but what the answering machine does is acts like your home machine. Put the phone on vibrate in a meeting. When it rings if you want, you can listen to the person leaving the message and decide if you want to pick up the call.
The answering machine also acts as a voice recorder so you can leave yourself messages and can record the person you're talking to. Need to call someone and the person on the phone is giving you a number? Just hit a button on top and record them to listen after you're off the phone. No need to look for a pen or try to write.
Other useful features include headset jack, voice mail indicator (if your subscriber offers it), clamshell design protects phone and the ability to configure the phone with dual batteries. (I don't know how much time that gives you because I don't have the aux battery but I've been told 6 hours of talk and over 3 days of standby.
You can also swap batteries while you're on the phone (which is what I do). When you get the low battery signal you just ask the person to hold on and change to a charged battery. This is one of the best features for a heavy user (I do 1200-1600 minutes a month). This also blows away any other phone claiming to have long talk and standby times. Carry the phone a couple of batteries and you still have less weight then the bricks that are out there and you can keep the batteries in other pockets distributing weight. So if you want a phone that's a phone and money is no object...
