Motorola V8162 Cell Phone

Pros: Lightweight, Sturdy, Good sound quality, internet access.
Cons: Signal not always great. Not in color, like many newer phones.

I have had mine for well over a year. I have two batteries, and rotate them - but the life of each is plenty. I use the phone for about 3,000 minutes per month and have a handsfree kit installed for use in the car.. The phone is about as small as can...

Pros: Looks like a spaceship. Fairly durable. Can't see it unless using a microscope.
Cons: Poor reception. Flimsy antenna. No games. Expensive for nothing.

The main reason I bought this phone is because of its appearance and its size. The phone starts falling apart in 5 months. There would be dust in the LCD screen. Battery life decreases gradually. My antenna broke off because it was too flimsy. I just use...

Pros: Small size, comfortable feel, "cool" design, easy-to-use interface.
Cons: Expensive, not many "extra" features.

Ive always been a diehard fan of Nokia phones. Ive always liked the design and intuitive menu interface of Nokia phones. However, after experiencing the worst service I've ever had with Voicestream (see my review), I reluctantly had to part with my...

Pros: Small, Stylish, Wireless Web
Cons: So-so battery life

The first thing that you will notice about the Motorola v8162 is that it is very small. Except for the 3/4 inch antenna that sticks out, it looks like a really small pager. I've had some people ask me if its really a phone, and then I engage in a little...

Pros: Small, Light, Beautiful, Easy To use
Cons: Flimsy, Antenna, Short Battery Life

I decided to buy this phone after several months of debating between the Nokia 8890 and the Motorola V.8162. Seeing that so many of my friends were getting the Nokia, I decided to be different and chose the Motorola. I don't regret it one bit. Menus...

Pros: Very small, very "cool," great reception
Cons: Antennae sticks out, looking silly and breakable. Ridiculously expensive!

The Motorola V.8162 is expensive at $399.99. But what you get is a very small phone with fantastic clarity. Nokia has a phone that is around the same size and is much, much cheaper -- but it does not have the same clarity.

In fact, this is...

Pros: Very Small, Very Clear, Great Features, Very Easy To Use
Cons: LCD Is Not Colored Like Some Other Phones

Today, many of us live in a business world. A cellular phone and PDA is sometimes our best friend, but sometimes these devices are a bit too large, and simply don't cut it. I was able to get the chance to try out the Motorola V8162 for a week. After a...

Pros: Small
Cons: Too expenseive

The short of it all is that for what you get this phone is way over priced. If you are condsidering the following, I have some advice:

Small phone
Web Enabled (which you will probrably rarely use after the first 30 days of owning the...

Pros: Innovative, voice dialing, internet
Cons: Easy to lose

If you had 500 bucks for a cellphone,
would you buy the Nokia 8860 or Motorola V8162?
Okay, time's up.
I knew you would get the V8162.
Why?
It's only 3 ounces, has the mobile internet and
a great talktime!!!
I just...

Pros: Reception and size
Cons: None

I used to have the Star Tack and I had a terrible time with I, bad reception, calls would disconnect I hated my phone. About two years ago a changed to this little Motorola the first of this “v” series, they were not digital yet but there was no digital...

Pros: Small, convenient clarity
Cons: Rather expensive

This is by far the smallest cellular phone I have ever used. This phone is about three inches long, and inch wide, and an inch deep, all folded. It has a large LCD display on it which makes it easy for Caller ID display, menu surfing, and with a...

Pros: durable, small. clarity
Cons: attenna

Well, i wrote an initial epinion on v.8162, why i bought the phone. Now that i have had the phone for 3 months. It is better than i thought. The phone is so light and small you can always carry this phone around. Due to contrary belief the phone is not...

Pros: Small
Cons: I still can't get a date with it.

I have found a new friend, and it is the vibrating function on my Motorola, but I am not quite ready to break up with my girlfriend yet. Ok, who am I kidding, like a guy that writes about a phone vibrating in his pants could get a girlfriend, well,...

Pros: Great reception, internet capable, Size,
Cons: Price tag

This is one of the greatest phones ever made. The size is incredible, just amazing. Cell phones have come a long way in such a short time. I only have one problem with this phone. The obvious is the price. $420. WOW! I am a wireless consultant...

Pros: very small, very light, very cool
Cons: a bit too small, a bit too light, feels flimsy, antenna juts out too much

All right, if you're using this phone, then you better be driving a Mercedes or have really rich parents. It's ungodly to pay $400 for a cell phone, but I (and apparently a few other people) have done so for this teensie-weensie Motorola.
