Motorola V2282 Cell Phone

Pros: Stylish, sturdy, light, good features.
Cons: Battery life, difficult navigation, no clock.

It seems that nowadays every electronic device must be designed so that it has a secondary function that replaces another device. We have MP3 players that double as voice recorders, watches that double as MP3 players, and Palm Pilots that double as...

Pros: Umm. It rings. Pathetic FM radio requiring headphones.
Cons: Everything.

This is the most pathetic, pitiful excuses for a phone i've seen for a long while. Do NOT buy it unless you enjoy being constantly frustrated, let down, and annoyed.
First of all, this phone does not have a clock. I am not joking - this phone has no...

Pros: design
Cons: everything: Navigation, Battery Life, LACK OF CLOCK

The Motorola V2282 is most likely the worst phone I've owned to date. I won't refer to the service quality, because it is likely to vary from place to place however, the phone itself leaves much to be desired.

Firstly, Motorola thought that...

Pros: nice design, comfortable, built-in radio, wireless internet
Cons: cannot download rings or logos, no vibrate, no clock, inaccurate gauges, convuluted menus.

Reluctantly, I'm going to recommend this phone because it really isn't that bad. The thing is, it really isn't that great either. But it suits to purpose will sufficient enough that I'd have to recommend it. There are just other phones, in the same price...

Pros: Styling, comfort, talk time (when you can stay connected)
Cons: No clock, menus are a pain, no vibrate, consistent dropped calls

After 6 months with the v2282, I've updated (or should I say "downgraded") this review from 4 stars to 2 stars. I'm leaving the basic introduction paragraph, afterwhich my review is quite different from the original.

After many years of doing...

Pros: Nice curvy design, wide selection of hard and rubber covers, durable
Cons: Quite large, no clock function, radio only available through hands free kit

I wanted a V2282 from the minute I saw it advertised. The curvy design and choice of hard or soft rubber covers in a variety of colours appealed to me, as I suppose I'm somewhat a poser, and would never choose an "ugly" phone.

When I finally...

Pros: Relatively inexpensive, good battery life, lightweight, looks good, has a radio.
Cons: No clock (what were they thinking?)

I bought this phone with a Pac Bell Wireless plan when it was new on the market. There may be other Motorola phones that are better now but this phone has been great--and easy--to use. Problems with the service provider are another matter; below I've...

Pros: Great design, FM radio, "PhoneWrap" compatible, good signal strength, cheap price.
Cons: Awful WAP browser, sensitive screen, no vibration, no logos/picture messages, slow processor, short battery life.

My handset has an upgraded software system, so it has a clock and some other features not available in older handsets. You can easily upgrade yours at your service provider without any hardware upgrades.

This phone has a distinguished design,...

Pros: radio included
Cons: none

This cell phone has several other features besides being a phone. It has 1,900 MHz GSM voice calling digital data capability with WAP compliant internet access. It also has an FM radio. However, you can't converse on the telephone or use the...

Pros: FM Radio built in, included headset and belt clip
Cons: No clock, large size, SIM card displaces easily.

The Motorola V2292 was my first cell phone through the (at the time) Voicestream service. I was excited to get it, and excited about the prospects of a GSM phone. After using the phone for over a year, and switching to others, I ended up coming back to...

Pros: cool shape, radio, different face plates, multiple ring tones
Cons: no clock

The motorola v2282 is a great phone, i can't say to many bad things about it. Although theres one thing the thing doesn't have a CLOCK! Guess what they put in there instead,a radio. I not saying the F.M. radio is bad or anything, it has really good sound...

Pros: egronomic shape, inexpensive, loud ringer, several accessories included, fm tuner, minibrowser
Cons: pointless phone wraps, horrible keypad, no clock, subpar audio quality

I myself do not own this phone, but I have had access to this model from several of my friends and can make a pretty sound opinion about the v2282.


Phone:
Well in Canada, this model is offered by Fido, and at this time, there is a...

Pros: Cool look, lite, ring tones are loud!
Cons: No clock, who cares, get a watch!

Listen folks, (it's me again, the Store Manager of that local cell phone store) stop whining. Do half of you guys even own this phone???? Judging buy some of your reviews, I think not!!

I know that my Title and the first paragraph are somwhat...

Pros: Relatively inexpensive, good battery life, lightweight, looks good, has a radio.
Cons: No clock (what were they thinking?)

UPDATE, August 2002: After around two years this phone has slowly started to give out. The connection from the phome to the recharge is now so poor I need to jam the plugged in phone between several books to hold the charger in place and keep it active....

Pros: Solid built, Radio, SMS and more....
Cons: Where's the clock

I have many voicestream phones, and becuase of the smart card technology, I now switch my phones day by day depending on my mood. I own a Nokia 3390, Ericsson T28W, Nokia 5190, and the Motorola v2282.
I have to say that the Motorola v2282 is a...
