Motorola V220 - User Reviews

  • my first ever mobile phone from Australia.. anyway it's not Mini-Sim.... it is Regular Sim

  • My first phone, at age 14, back in 2005 :)

  • I remember buying this in 2006 and regretting it because I could have got a better phone for a little more money.

  • i m old too :)but i m still working ;)

  • '03 was when mine was purchased

  • Actually, 11 years old and still kicking! Of course most people use smartphones today but why knock a product that is still working for over 1 decade later? I'm giving mine away to a person who actually prefers a simpler flip phone and he's younger than 20 years old so what's your point about it being "old" ???

  • its old

  • I have using this phone eight years. I had not problems in this phone.

  • i cant use that type of cheap cells i use a cell more than 1 crore plzzz tell me a name of that cells what i want

  • Can't believe you still use this... I had this in 2004...

  • Hie can someone tell me how to upload pictures to facebook using this phone? And I cant seen to find the bluetooth on this phone. Also can someone tell me the settings for push email and if I can download angry birds 367 this phone. Thanks. Its still new so i'm trying to get used to it but i'm loving it so far.

  • I used to have this phone in 2004 or 2005 and I have to say that this phone was amazing for the time. The camera made all my friends look sooooo thin and beautiful, a few still have the pics from this phone on their facebook! but this was the best phone of my teens, did i mention it was durable? oh the memories!!!

  • Both me and my mum got new phones in 2006 - she bought this one. I've gone through two phones since then but her V220 is still working well! 6 years! And it doesn't look like it's going to give up any time soon! Quite extraordinary.

  • My first phone, used to love it

  • I got this phone from my mother in 2006. It is a 2003 V220. It has been dropped in water, down stairs, across pavenment, in snow, and smashed into corners when in my pocket. And after all of that it still works, and has the original battery!!! I love this phone!!!!!!!

  • I had gotten a 2003 V220 from my mother in 2006. Now, in 2011, the phone still works and has it's original battery. It has been dropped down stairs, in water, in snow, across pavement, and smashed into corners when in my pocket. And, after 8 years of that, this beauty still works!!!! I love it!!

  • Please can you give me an indication as to what is the matter with the handset, i.e: the display doesnt readily come on, occasionally flashes on and off, when the screen does come on it only displays half with letters aand digits back to front.....does this handset have any display i.c's or could it be a flexi problem?

  • You can always buy from EBay...If you don't have an account, ask your friend to buy one for you and pay your friend afterwards.

  • 3 people in my family got this fone for xmas few years back i also got one..it was my first motorola fone and can clearly say my last ill never go for a motorola fone again POS ..2 of the phones flip made weird noises when flipping the screen up mine however didnt the software on the phone is buggy and crashes a good lot it did last me a year and half but then i forgot my password to access the phone so i got my relitives v220 and it was really bad when inside a building calls would drop would have to go outside it would turn off and the camera stopped workinng after that my other relitive who also had one only stopped using it in 2009 so lasted almost 5 years so only some are faulty..i liked the way if you missed a call or txt it would beep to let you know the battery was very bad in this fone from the start gets drained way to easily..not reallly reccomended i got a SE K310i after that and it was a excellent fone..now have a LG touchscreen and nokia 2330 they are both the best and most reliable fones ive bought to date im sick of sony ericsson phones they go crap after a year or so well the to models i had k610i and k770i..my k770i died after over 2 years over usage so i suppose that was a good phone !

  • no jeff

  • i was using this phone for about 2 years but then suddenly battery went dead. now i don't know where to get a new battery:(

  • I bought this phone back in 2004. While I've gone through several other phones (SLVR L7/w810i/Treo650), my trusty v220 has always been there as my backup! Ever since I bought a $6 Chinese 750mAh battery, I've only had to charge this phone once every week and a half to boot! This phone's fallen in lakes (two or three times), been dropped out from the second story of a condo (onto pavement), and it's still kicking!

  • useless phone calls drop unless your outside even with full signal inside it still drops ..never get a motorola phone again !!

  • i'm using this kind of cellphone but my v220 has a pink color on it. this phone is so cute. . i love this phone �

  • it is very cool phone from maniatic from mobile old you capacity of camara and usb from manager utility from mobile....

  • this was my first phone and it was cool back in like 2004 but now-a-days its called a blackberry! HELLO! sorry to all of those who like it tho.....

  • I have an expensive mobile which I LEAVE it at home when goin out at night with friends!! I have had the same V220 since day one its small nifty and VERY good for a 2nd FONE ok so its not got vids bluetooth etc etc SOOOOO remember it came out in 2003/4 bluetooth was in its infantcy then this is a great 2nd fone I also remember the V50 when that was introduced been a motorola fan all my life I have the K1 to am in my 40's all I need is a mobile that works NOT one that could get stolen at a oppertunity...

  • the party i call cannot hear me what to do?

  • Phone has served me VERY well for 4 years with no maintenance. It has great battery life, good coverage even in weak signal areas, and has clear, easy to read display and large enough keys to be useful. Weakness is that it has always given the wrong time by 1 hour on vmail messages, and all the buttons on the outside of the unit cause problems if I am not careful what I touch when I pick it up to answer. Those buttons are seldom used except to turn off the ringer, but they do other things that must be related to the non-phone functions. Too bad they are not recessed. Great phone for people who want a phone and not a toy. (For camera I use Canon Digital EOS. For computer I use HP Workstation and Dell laptop.) I use my phone as a phone, and have a hard time finding phones with specs as good as this one. Note: Phones used as other devices are useless to far-sighted people unless they wear bifocals, since everything on them is way too small be of any value.

  • Had This Phone Once.. Never Again, Its Ok If You Like To Call and Text :S

  • Bought this phone over 3yrs ago but have long-since replaced it. Have just given it to my 7yr old son as his 1st phone, as it v.basic & easy to use. PS, i'm posting this msg using wi-fi on my Nokia N82, best phone on market at the mo!

  • Possibly the CRAPPEST phone I had. 1. The camera was crap 2. The "MP3" was crap 3. You could not download any videos 4. Hardly any features 5. No bluetooth 6. The IM was completely pointless My LG Chocolate is MUCH better :)

  • this phone is terrible

  • By far, the best phone everrrrrrrrr made. Where my immix peeps at

  • Sohai phone.... Camera spoil -_- no bluetooth,infrared not worth buying.. Rather buy a W910 Sony Ericsson phone

  • Pls dont buy dis fone..... Spoiled camera.. zzzzz

  • i have one which i am not happy because it says it has MP3 which doesnt work and has not enough space.

  • my friend had this phone for 1/2 a year and hated it, because of the screen, camera, memory, no bluetooth, battery ...

  • This phone has about the best sound reproduction (bass and depth specifically) that Ive heard in a phone. Great 'mobile'!

  • In a few weeks, it'll be 3 years with this phone. I've only replaced the battery as I was only getting about 1.5 days of use out of it. Using Mobile Phone Tools with this phone, it was excellent. I used it in a remote eastern Canada Location for Internet access with my Laptop (No problem, albeit expensive!) It worked perfectly in Dubai UAE, London England, Madrid Spain, the US and Central Mexico. I'm upgrading next month, ONLY because I want blue tooth. This phone has a lot of miles on it!

  • this phone is pretty good, since 2 years. but now i am facing the problem of no display on phone, i lost the CD of software,which came along with the phone (which would enable me to recover my data into my PC using data cable), can any body help me in procuring the software ? i am badly in need of it.

  • i had the same sound problem and to make it work i hold the phone half closed

  • have it for more that two years now. Very happy. No problems and everything still working perfectly - only some battery trouble. Fell a dozen of times - and still working compact is pretty this movil realy speciall for me but. I LIKE MOTOROLO.

  • I have never lived with this phone so I can't tell you if it's good or bad. My mother in law loved hers, and let's just say it hasn't been pampered by her. If you have Motorola's phone tools software and a data cable for one of the new RAZR's (as an example) it will work great on this phone! Nice if you upgrade and want to move your pictures and phone numbers over to your new Motorola whatever.

  • LOL. i bought this fone this year in 2007 and i have had it for like 8 months or less. scince then i have had 3 fones. god this fone is a shocker. its camrea is hopeless and it doesnt even have video on it. even worse YOU CANT EVEN BUY IT ANYMORE ITS SO OLD lmao. and this fone has neither bluetooth nore infrered. anywayz dont buy this fone coz if u do...well then there wasnt much point in reading my opinion was there so u just wasted ur time didnt you BURNED!! =D

  • how can i use the USB?

  • I have this phone since feb 2006, and the the battery is ok! This phone is very easy from to send images to PC (USB). I love this cellphone!

  • I love this phone. I have used it for a year. The overal, it is a useful phone. I can transfer photo easily to the computer by the USB cable, and also I could use this phone as a model to connect me trought the internet with the gprs tools. I also can transfer mp3 and 3gp video to this phone although with a limited file size. The battery is good. I can use it in 3 days for the minimum use. My phone is pink,.. nice color for me. The problem now, I am not able to hear the sound of this phone when I call someone or receive someone's calling. Yeah I know why it could be like that. This phone has dropped for several time from the table,. But it's still strong enough for the first time. Just now, the problems come out. So I have to use either earphone or speaker to the hear the voice. I still love this phone. I have tried to open the case and repaired it by my self, but no clue. Actually it is easy to be opened.,

  • i bought this phone about 2 or 3 months ago but i cant find the camera can someone please help me?

  • I have it for 2.5 yrs. Not bad for basic phone, once had breakdown. Connectivity with PC ... uhhh, I spent 3 months to find all details (software, USB drivers and the way to connect) After 2.5 years (although kept carefully) battery's coming empty after 30hrs. I found out that works with MOTO phones - if it's full with pics&mp3 it will block some of the features. what you need to do - MASTER RESET.

  • as far as i know tat this fone doesnt have and earpice..and yu have to press the speaker button on the screen for you to hear you're calling?

  • i have a motorola V220 set. i have some problem from the last 1 year. The problem is Screen display is not working. So i have a problem ti use it.

  • i have this phone for the past 3 yrs now and ithink the only problem with it is that it doesnt have infared and blue toot and the flex is not too good

  • i had this phone for 2 months and i lost it anyway but i really liked it and i have been too sad on it till now and forever .. in short ..you can call that phone pretty one although it hasn't a lot of features and options but it's great in falling down hehe :P

  • ive had that phone for 2 yrs and its god ucan record amr files easy

  • This was my first motorola phone, and I was not impressed. The features were ok for the time, but not great, and the durability of the phone was below par. Not bad, but not good.

  • hmm i had this phone for 4 1/2 years and it still works....well not the camrah anymore but the amount of time it fall down i suprize it still working but i'm going to buy a new phone this week ,with alot more features..i think it;s about time.

  • dis wos my third phone. It was incredible at first, 'cause I was desperate for a camera phone. The features were brilliant, but after a year, I found it boring and asked for a new one that had video recording and bluetooth.

  • Honestly this was my second phone and i HATED it. Whenever i closed it it felt like it was about to fall apart. Felt like a plastic toy. The screen inside was waaayyyy to small. Thought it would of been bigger at first. Camera was poor. The only thing i liked about it was that it was pretty loud when it wrang.

  • I've had mine for 3 years - no problems except not very good camera (compared with 7 meg camera!) Battery life excellent

  • I had it for about 2 years. It's not bad for who needs a cheap mobile phone. But I think if it had at least Bluetooth or a bigger screen, it could have been better.

  • I have it for more that two years now. Very happy. No problems and everything still working perfectly - only some battery trouble. Fell a dozen of times - and still working - compact en pretty.

  • After about a year it wouldnt switch on for more than a second and wouldnt charge. Can anyone help?

  • I actually liked this phone, even though there was no video or recording. I loved the fact that I could change the color of my camera. Unfortunately, after about six months, the screen would go blank when I tried to go to Settings, but it would go back to normal. Then it got rained on for about 2 or 3 days straight, and it still worked! I just couldn't see who called me.

  • well it's gd if u want something basic but it hardly has anything gd on it, i've had mine for 2 years and the camera no longer works, 1 of my games doesn't work at all and the other one runs so slow u cnt ply it. The best thing about it is probably it's looks and they aren't even tht gd...

  • I had this phone for about a year, but got through 2 of them. It doesn't have any decent features, like bluetooth, tiny memory and the camera isnt all that great due to bad zoom and no flash. V220 number 1 - Lasted about 7 months. In about 3, a line of pixels on the smaller screen didn't work. But I could still tell the time and stuff. But then my camera died completely. Got a new one from Virgin. V220 number 2 - This one lasted a big longer but the ariel came out and got lost, making signal rubbish. It is a good phone, but not now so many other features have come out. If you want a cheap, basic phone, I recommend this one. Oh yeah, and dont ice skate with it in your pocket! the silver around the camera came off! :P

  • i wud nt recomend dis fone...its REALLY bad. it dosent hav nything on it...no blutooth, no video, no recorder...DONT buy this fone!!!!!!!! taraxoxoxox

  • is a good phone, but dont have bluetooth.

  • Ive had this phone for a few moths but it had an exrtemly minor fall [it fell about 15 cm onto floor] and now whenever i go to setting,personalise my fone blacks out and turns off.also the camera is stuffed.i would not recommend this phone !

  • I have this fone at the moment and its absalute rubbish !!!!! dont buy it whatever you dooo

  • i had this phone for about 5 days and it went bad on me the camera went bad i take it back and was given a next one i use it four 2 weeks and brought me a raza i was to scared to use it again thought it was going to go bad again on me,i still have it in the box .

  • Great phone. Never had any problems with it. Recently decided to try W375 thinking it was an upgrade but it was useless. Flashy yes but couldn't put own ringtones or pics on or download pics so now using my trusty old V220, which is pink, and am much happier. Yes it bulky but still small enough for any handbag. Pics come out great (using Motorola PhoneTools) and i can listen to Lionel Richie everytime someone rings or texts. Love it!

  • i had this phone, yea its dodgy but you gotta love it.. there were a few problems, *the usb *The camera *and it developped a problem where it didnt realise it was closed all the time o well i'll miss it

  • My friend has had this phone for half a month and she swapped it with her old l6. She moans bout no bt. the screen is well to small and the phone is t fat. Give it a 4.7

  • i have this phone for about a year right now. it is my first phone and never lets me down.

  • ok

  • i got this fone a couple of months back and its broken already!! its terible!

  • i got this phone about 5 months ago, and i'm on this website because it has to be replaced. it has had to be repaired 4 times and the same things happened to my friend who had the same phone. it is not a good phone and it has no good features either.

  • Rubbish,it's the worst phone i ever had,it freezes,the internet stops working after a while,the usb wont fit,bad battery life and no infr and bt.

  • The camera function failed within 6 months or so, but I kept it because that did not matter. A few months after the one year warranty expired, the display began to fail - it went entirely blank about 4 months before the two year contract expired. A lemon in my opinion.

  • i had this phone for around a yr too... i won't advise it either... the internet is slowww... it is hard to connetc to my pc... its freezes and blanks out a lot and the skeakers r not working...

  • I've had this fone for jus more than a year and i don't think it's very good. The internet on it doesn't work. It doesn't have bluetooth or infrared and my USB link doesn't work either. It scratches easily and if i were you i'd NEVER get this fone, but if you don't need BT or irDA and you don't use a camera then i guess it's ok!!!!

  • ive had this phone for about a month and i hav had NO problems.ive heard some bad things about this phone and i HAD to get one to see if it was true it wasnt . true the camera isnt the best but if you want supergood pictures GO GET A 6.0 MEGAPIXEL DIGITAL CAMERA. IT IS ONLY A CELL PHONE CAMERA this phone on a scale of 1 to 10 gets an 8.5=)

  • my friend is getting this fone!

  • how can i set up my GPRS settings?

  • i love the phone

  • its a great phone its good for a first time phone.but if you get it wet it wrecks the camera good overall and its battery lasts a long time so your ones battery must be worn out.

  • this phone has terrible wiring inside, the lcd screen wire always loose and pop out that make the screen goes blank, have to open it to adjust the wire, hic

  • i've had this phone for 2 years now, and it's still working fine. It's very strong, as I've dropped it many many times. Obviously, it's not the best phone on the market but hey, as many people have commented - you get what u paid for. If you're not looking for anything fancy, this phone will serve you well.

  • I had this phone for a little over a year and at first it was working fine. The camera wasn't that good so I didn't use it. No problems there. The battery life could have been way better, I was charging my phone daily even when I didn't use it much. Unfortunately, I sat on my purse for a split second and the phone was inside, the screen broke so I couldn't see a thing. I still used the phone for another 9 months, I had to realy on the outer screen for missed calls and incoming calls. Its no longer of use to me since the charger stopped working and soon after no charger would charge the battery (I was using my sis n mom's charger when mine broke.)

  • i have had this phone for just about a year now and the screen keeps going blank the picture quality has gone very bad.it is a waste of money.the first problem was the calender woudnt open for at least a minute after i had charged it which started just after 2 weeks the 14 day return policy!!!!!!

  • TERRIBLE! The low price reflects the quality of this truely awful phone! Save ur money! Buy urself another phone! And u won't feel the regret I did!

  • it's a pretty good phone considering the price, i've have mine for about three years now and there's been no problems with it. It's true that the camera isn't very good and the screen could be bigger, but you know what they say... you get what you paid for

  • I have owned this mobile for 5 months and it is terrible! The screen is very small, much more than I thought it would be! The screen keeps on going black for a few seconds and I have heard that other owners have this problem as well. The battery only lasts about a day and another annoying quality is that the phone keeps on reseting the ringtone to the awful 'hello moto' one! my dads V3 does the same thing. Anywho, I don't think I'll be buying another, at all!

  • this phone is good because is strong...i droped it several times and it's more than ok...but it's true that it's freezing when i try to open personalize...

  • I had it for almost a year. Rubbish ! Its battery is the worst I have ever had. It doesn�t last for one day if you use the poor camera. The menu is confusing. You can�t choose which memory to use (cell phone or sim card memory), so your phone book has every name in double. This was my second and it will be the LAST MOTOROLA I will ever buy. My opinion : very bad as all Motorola�s cell phones.

  • I love this phone. I have had it for a year and a half and it has been wonderful. The positives of the phone are that it sends and receives pictures to email addresses and other phones, you can use aim, yahoo and msn messenger all at the same time, if you download a free program and install it, you have the entire internet on your phone (which I have and use daily), you can have Music ringtones and pictures to identify your callers. I also really like the calculator feature. The negatives are that the camera is of poor quality in dark rooms, the screen is on the small side, you can't delete the original rings or pictures that come on the phone and the amount of memory the phone has is very small. I think it is a well built phone. I have dropped it MANY times and every feature still worked on it up until today when I went to charge it. The small metal pin that is used to charge it had broken off. I used this phone about 18 hours out of the day, EVERY day with all my text messaging, photo sharing, internet use and instant messaging. I can't believe it lasted me this long with so few problems. Occassionally it would shut down on it's own, but I'm sure that was due to my dropping it on hard surfaces over and over. It's too bad it broke. I am gonna miss this little guy. They are sending me a V235 to replace it. I hope it is as good to me as this phone was. The V220 is HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!!!

  • This phone is rubbish! i got it about 1 1/2 yrs ago and it always freezes when i go onto personalise. It's really annoying, especially when your text messages only sometimes come through. The screen is so small, and there is enough room for a bigger one. The signal is mostly always bad. I advise you to not get this phone as you will get fed up of it almost straight away. Bad value for money. 3/10

  • pile of crud, camera is cack and died after 1 small drop, poor quality screen my screen doesnt even display right 30% of the time >_< 2/10

  • do not buy this phone. i use this phone for 6 month and now the phone does not work

  • I have had this phone for a year, the screen died yesterday, the camera stopped working after 6 months, it turns itself off, the personal settings make it go black and then at times I wouldn't be able to turn it on, took about 10 goes one time, dont buy it!

  • uugh i dnt lyk dis phone its ugly and can hardly do nothink no offence 2 the people who have it

  • man arent we mister the cups half empty you lot screens a bit small and if i go on settings then personalise it just goes black and goes back to the start but otherwise its been fine

  • oi addie you gotta buy a software disc and usb cable then use windows media player to put music onto it they cost �15 on the motorola website

  • yeah this is a great phone! mine has been working perfectly!

  • i think this is a really great phone...this is my fifth phone in 2 years and all the others i found have been really junky but this phone has been excellent! i recomend it!

  • In my opinion, thisd phone its really good for its price, i had it for allmost a year and never had a problem, the camara isnt that good, that its the only thing i can say about it, the other things work fine

  • But I charged it it still didn't work.....

  • leney, try to recharge the phone battery, i promise, it ill last 3 days until your recharge it again lol

  • If you're planning on buyin this phone [[DON'T]] this phone isn't nothing its worthless I live in the caribbean and i got my phone from the states since my phone got stolen and I've had this phone for only 5 DAYS and its not working anymore from when i first got the phone it turned off by itself everytime I turn it on it turns back off sometimes it stays on for like 5 minutes or so and sometimes it turns off immediately now it doesn't turn on at all I thought it was when I had it on the charger for soooo long what caused it to act up but in the hand book it says the charger doesnt do anything to the phone. I carried it to TWO cell phone shops one said it couldnt work anymore and the other says its the LCD but its $100.00 to fix it but no gaurantee I dont want to waste 100 on this crap called a phone so im getting a new one DONT PURCHASE THIS PHONE!!!

  • i luff this fone itz gr8 i\'ve had it 4 a year now nd had no problems.ok so the screen is a bit small but it's fine 4 me =D

  • i don't understand why they made the screen so small? there's plenty of space for it vertically, they've just wasted a lot of space with a tiny tiny screen. You'd have to squint to see what's on there. This looks like one of those phones that people wouldn't steal even if you left it out in the open.

  • On my 4th....They always start out working great but the n they all hit the wall and go to the crapper. The last 2 didn't even last a month...Now they're sending me a V557

  • i have had my phone for over a year and a half... it is a POS my camera doesnt work anymore, it turns of by itself sometimes, doesnt turn on only when it wants to, i dont recieve incoming calls it goes striaght to voicemail. No one can call my cell from my job it doesnt go through it says its not in service, i never have a signal, i get dropped calls all the time and my husband has the same service i do and he always has a full signal gets all calls, my txt messages dont send most of the time its rediculous

  • the phone is the WORST PHONE EVER. after id had mine for 3 days it started crashing so i had to get a new one.....eventually (after about a year) the camera (crap though it was) stopped working and it crashed the entire time. now (about a year and 2 months later) i turn it on an it imediately turns off and refuses to do anything. it doesn't last...and after a while when plugged into the charger it does not charge without physically holding it in place. DO NOT GET IT!

  • I have had this phone for almost two years and it is realllllly good. It got washed in the washer once with my pants and it still works! However the backlight does not work anymore. But this phone has a bunch of basic features and is a very great phone.

  • hahaha wow a lot of people are complaining about there phones i havn't had any probs with mine i got it 2 years ago.

  • got a brand new v220 but within 3 months the camera has stopped working and frequently freezes.cannot load other ringing tones it has a lot of problems

  • how do u put music on it

  • The worst phone Ive ever had dont buy it! The camera quality is rubbish and you really want a better phone than this!

  • I just got the phone but it came without software. Can anyone tell me how to get free software to download ringtones.So far the phone is quite impressive i love it

  • am excited to have one. my friend is sending me one. cant wait to have it.

  • This phone is tha best phone I or anyone has or could have. I got mine about a week ago and has encountered nothing but happiness and success with. The camera isnt tha best but it is good 4 tha price of tha phone. Some of tha pictures I take r even so good that i post them on my myspace and they come out great! None of my calls ever drop and the speaker phone is crystal clear and despite it's size it is very durable. I give this phone a 10 out of 10 and would truly vouch 4 it. If u want a cool and cheap phone purchase this one. Peace Eazy!

  • I just got my phone since my samsung was stolen nd now im encountering problems , everytime i turn the phone on after a while it decides to turn itself back off , what is wrong have any of you discovered this problem and what should i do to get it properly working plz help

  • the phone is rubbish. i had it for about a year and three problems cropped up after about 7 months. 1. the phone refused to respond when i was trying to top-up the phone. 2. the camera eventually broke after a few months of quality deterioration. 3. the phone wouldn't notify me if I had a call after 7 months. I wouldn't advise you to get this phone at all.

  • i fink its a relli gd fone ive had it for 1 month n its relli gd i ent had no probz n da best fing is dat its easy to use :D

  • This phone is horrible, small screen, i never noticed how horrible the screen was until i used a v400 for a long period of time. The camera stopped working, the phone locked periodcally on it's on, it defiently wasn't worth the 70 bucks i spent on it. DO NOT let the cheap price fool you, in the long run you will be so sad you bought this phone.

  • The phone sucks. I had it for almost a year. 1) the external screen came on and off 2) The batterylife suck 3) The camera went 4) The interna diplay started to g black when opeed. This happened 2 a few of myother friends who have the phone!

  • for the sms you cannot send - you have to enter an smms centre number - it is different for the different operators, you have to ask your own operator about the number you need

  • i have had it for a year, i love it. it is cheap and has enough extras. i have a much more expensive samsung as well, but it can not be compared to my beloved moto

  • Bought my phone 2 years ago, after letting someone fiddle with it i can't send a text message. i can recieve, but am at a loss.any thoughts?

  • All I needed was a basic phone, no extras so I gave this phone a try. I've had it for almost 2 years now. This phone is now very outdated. I'm upgrading to a different model/make. Volume output fo V220 is horrible. It is hard to hear the phne in normal public areas, almost impossible in public noisey areas. This is fact which is also supported on other review websites.

  • Hello, I want this phone in pink! I think it's a great phone and not very expensive in Netherland. �89,95 and sometimes it is �79,95. The pink one is sooo cute.. I love that phone. But can you play mp3's on it?? plz tell me..!! Kisses Alletta (NL)

  • If u wanna buy a phone which make you frequent Motorola Service Center,go for this phone.It gives hell lot of problems to quote some here are they display hangs,flap speaker gets screwed up & camera problems.It should have been named as 420 rather than 220.

  • I hate this phone!!!the battery sucks!!

  • Great phone, very reliable with a replaceable antenna, had mine for almost 3 years. You need a usb cable and motorola phone tools to connect to a pc but it works great.

  • I love this phone, I'm had it for almost two years, and yeah it's been threw alot. I've run it over twice, dropped it I don't know how many times, and it was stolen, but thankfully returned. It's been through all this and still works.

  • this phone is useless i feel over on rubber matting and the screen broke dont buy it

  • hi i've had this phone for about a year now and i was wondering how you get the usb or does it come free with it! SUM1 PLZ HELP ME!!!

  • This fone is the beast fone!!!!It�s great!!!!!

  • where can i find the EASTERN SKY.mp3 because i can't download it from the phone

  • on the menu of "multimedia", then "videos", then press the menu liney buttonny thingy, and go to "categories" it will say one called made, so i thought you could make them, however when you click empty, it does not take you anywhere to record :-(

  • it is also quite a hard phone i go out and get pis*ed up every weekend ,fall down,drop it etc and it still always works in the morning so if u do this aswell or have balance or coordination problems this phone is ideal. wots the best phone i can get at the moment for about �100-�150 i need a new one im a bit bored of this one now

  • i think this is a good phone ,ive had it around 12 months,due for a new one as the camera is dated and it doesnt have bluetooth.can you record sounds and stuff never had a proper look round on it

  • How can you record a voice memo ? plss help

  • I work in a phone shop and we stopped stocking them because they're such a terrible and unreliable phone. Of the 7 repaired phones that we have here that people never came back for, 5 of them are v220s. Save yorself the hassle, folks.

  • i hate this phone. i hate the tesco network that sold me this phone it crashes the camera is rubbish, it does not play mp3s, does not do anthing that it should do what a waste of time and money never will i buy a phone from the tesco retards again

  • I have used the motorola v220 for six months now but has'nt encounter any problem.Among the number of phones I have used so far, I consider this one to be the best.

  • I've got this fone and you can't record videos I'm afraid!!!

  • how do you record videos? someone please tell me!!!

  • This is the WORST phone you could possibly buy! it is a total POS! The camera stops working after a month, the screen shuts off, the led backlight burns out, the buttons get stuck, the screen gets scratched bad by the buttons when closed, and the over-all casing gets scratched. The battry dies very fast, some times it doest charge, and the worst of all it decides when it wants to turn on and turn off. (the phone will magically turn itself on, and it will magically turn itself off. DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY ON IT!!!

  • Alice I think your getting confused, this phone is shocking, it has an apalling camera and doesn't even have bluetooth. Its not even comparable to the d600, and understandabley so as its so much older.

  • someone tell me how to video on this phone!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! liz xxx (please please please)

  • ive heard motorola have bad software problems, and my v220 was no exception. i had been told to not get motorola's...well i dont plan on getting another. my fone started playing up early on, i haven't even had it a year and the camera doesn't work, the personalise menu doesn't work and the battery is losing its charge quicker, even though it hasnt had exceeding amounts of use.it scratches easy. some people have said that it has bluetooth, but mine doesn't, it must be an older edition. MOTOROLA'S STINK. So many friends and family have had sucky fones because they were motorola brand. however it still messages (even though it only gives 450 letters instead of 480 and charges you for 3 messages!! thats like 30 letters, it'd make a huge difference if we got them. The good thing about this particular fone is that you can program the soft keys, and create shortcuts to some things. and it still makes and receives calls, although it is deteriorating quality on my end, and maybe the other. Thanks to KC who said you CAN voice record, if only i had this info sooner, i could have made some good 20 sec ringtones. my back cover is loose now, even though it hasn't been dropped extensively. and it only has one prerecorded video, and you cant make your own

  • this phone is so amazing it's way better than the samsung D600 its got a betta camera faster bluetooth and it records video for longer as well it's a great deal. buy this phone!!!!!!!!!

  • this is such a good fone i've got 134 tracks on there @ the moment and theres still room left the bluetooth is really fast and i downloaded some hardcore porn and it looked really gd

  • this is the best phone i have ever had i took some amazing videos @ a concert and bluetoothed them 2 all my m8's buy this fone!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • this phone is amazing it's got everything bluetooth video and 1gb of memory wot a deal!!!!

  • This fone is alright the camera is pretty s**t but by da way u can do recordings go to messages then go to mms click insert go to voice recording the record send the message to a made up number then it will be in ur outbox click the top button and go to store.The screen is to small and not enough memory. I don't recomend this phone dats y i'm gettin the SE W550i next week!

  • i've had this fone about 3 months and the battery does not stay for long and the screen keeps turning off

  • i havd dis fone bout yr. it is kk but it dont have blue tooth and u can't video. how out of order? lolxXxlol

  • i've had my V220 for about a year now. its alright but the camera quality is quite bad. but everything else is fine! but if i had to give somebody advice on buying a phone, i would advise them not to buy this phone.

  • Can someone please HELP! I've had my V220 for about 18 months now, had it for my birthday an it's a nifty cute little phone. It may not be flash an Gbs of memory but it's serves a small purpose. The only problem is lately my camera has stopped working. When i try and access it, the camera is black and after 1 second it returns to the sceen it was on before. please e-mail me,i need to know if this camera is broke so i can replace my phone with a better one! thnx

  • ive had this phone for almost a year now. it's pretty good. haven't had any problems with it. it doesn't have that many features on it so im looking for a newer phone right now but it's a good one to start with.

  • 250E ??? hhahahaha .. .. i pay for one V220 .. just 30$ :D !! nice phone.

  • i think this phone is not user friendly.. well, that's just my personal opinion... nokia and sony ericson phone for me is the best at this time..

  • got this fone x mas and its klass but i want to know if it has bluetooth or not lol

  • I have had this phone for just over a year and have had NO PROBLEMS at all despite dropping it. This phone however is very basic with little memory or features. My Grandad just got this for Xmas so I am now looking to buy a new phone ha ha!!

  • I have had this phone for over a year and have not had a problem with it. The battery now won't hold its charge very long 2 days and the camera never has taken very good pictures but I would buy another one.

  • I have used this phone for over one year and it has been very reliable. It has stored alot of information and pictures for me. Its only lately that the battery has not been lasting as long as previously and l have to charge it every two days.

  • ive had this phone now for over a year. It's been very reliable but latly the battery has been running down and the screen goes black and i can't do anything with it and have to wait for the battery to run out!! The camera isn't brilliant. I did get bored with it very quickly and i am finally getting a new phone! this phone is fine for anyone who just wants a phone to keep in contact with people though.

  • i have had this phone for 3 months and its rubbish the screen just turns off randomly and it cancels my calls. i dont recomed this phone to anyone!!

  • This phone is rubbish!! 1st month it started switching itself off, 2nd month the screen started goin a grey colour, 3rd month it wouldn't turn on and wen it did it said there was no sim card (there was), and now its just dead.

  • ive had this phone for a few months. the camera stoped working, the screen goes black randomly and it drops calls alot. Also it scratches easily and feels poorly made. your better off getting a new pair of shoes then this crappy phone.

  • i had this phone for some months and it was good for me later the camera stop a few days later the screen also went off imaen both screen. it hellllll.

  • After having this phone for only 4 months the camera stopped working, then the screen went totally black , and then the external screen went black. I would not recommend this phone at all. 3 other people i know with this phone had the same issues.

  • i have had this phone no more than 3 months and it is crap!!! theres is no functions on i tlike recordin or anything like tyhat it does nufin i would recommened this phone at all!!!!

  • i have had this phone for 3 months and i have no trouble with it at all, it is also reliable. Pity it doesn't come with bluetooth capability.

  • it sucks, the camera quality is bad, 1 of my frnds got dis, wudnt recmnd dis to any1

  • I've had 4 of the same phone and Cingular keeps replacing them because my screen will turn completely black for no reason. Sometimes it won't charge. I don't recommend it. I am getting a different one in 5 days!

  • I used one of these for maybe 4 months and all I can say is that its a great phone! The one that I have is an older AT&T phone that I unlocked and used with cingular. It has been very durable; I tend to drop things alot. My only 2 complaints are: camera doesn't work all the time (probably due to my abuse), and the signal reception isn't the greatest... but not too bad.

  • i had this fone 4 about a month when it started playing up, it wouldn't let me in the personalise menu, and i somehow deleted my games, there was some fluff or something in the outside screen. it scratches easy. you can only have around 60 messages, and 100 photos, but the camera sucks. no infrared. the good thing is you can program (one by one) your contacts to sim or phone, if they are on fone, you can have a pic of the person, but only comes up if set to push answer or any button to answer (instead of just opening it)and the outside screen lets you know who is calling, or if you have a msg. you can program contacts stored in phone to voice dial. the outside buttons let you change between loud, soft, silent, vibrate, vibrate then ring. didn't like how the vibrator sucks. you can change so msg vibrate and calls ring. and if u miss a msg, it can be set so it vibrate or beep or none till u realise. lately my camera stopped working. messaging is easy but can be annoying. overall i hate my fone because it has botchy software, and failed to work fully. also the manual sucks, it has like zilch info in it, and you have to go online if there is a problem, so u can get some numbers to call. thats about it i guess. i thought it was a sucky investment. however i may be unlucky, coz some reviews sound ok.

  • I've been using this phone temporarily and all I can say is that it's pretty good! It has an awful camera, but the rest is pretty ok. a good 3/5. wayyyyy to little memory, i just have one cutted mp3 on it :)

  • Just to say i have had this phone for a year and not had any problems with it! even after my friends dog got hold and chewed it, it still works!!

  • Ok i've had this phone since July 25th last year, and so far it messed up 3 times. and the guarantee is for 2 years. so one more time it breaks i get ma money back! the camera had a problem before, but it was always a different reason. once it was cuz the screen on the front just pertended it was opening and closing so if someone would call me it would end the call before i TOUCH the phone.. well its just really messed up and annoying. first i was in love with it cuz i had a sucky siemens but now i dont like this phone. i want Nokia 6101 cuz it has everything a good phone needs (for me): Infrered, flip phone, CAMERA, screen on front, and thats about it. OH and its not that expensive!!! its $220 american!!

  • My V220 just went to dead screen yesterday. This phone is a lemon waiting to happen. I cannot recommend it based on my experience.

  • built to last me ass!!! :D Nokia has a very nice enviroment and thats what they have above motorola, motorola WAS built to last, in fact they were the ones that you would buy if you wanted a phone that could stand anything. Personally if i wanted to buy a phone that lasts I would buy either Sony Ericsson or Samsung.. but like i said, thats my personal opinion these days and i've had 1x Motorola, several Nokias' and Im using a Sony Ericsson now :)

  • Hmmm, i will tell anyone not to buy this fone, buy a nokia, they are built to last.First the centre button fell out, then the screen cracked n i had to replace it and then the internal speaker stopped working, trust me, if u want to throw away ur money u can buy this junk!!

  • Hi Friends I find this mobile pretty good.i personally like the features of this mobile but if it would had a FM Radio,it would have been like sone pe suhaga. Bye...

  • Maaan shawty i dnt even kno bout dis fone... im jokin! lol. i hav a nokia now n a freind of mine jus gotta new fone n she given me dis fone so i hope it workz well 4 me!!Make me proud! Layta!

  • i got dis phone a year ago and it woz really gd but after a while the camera was playin up n all my buttons were comin off. But still it iz a good phone. I have a samsung E350 now its better thsn the motorola v220

  • this fone is pretty average, its pretty good features and stuff, can transfer and make ur own sounds for ringtones is a plus,but after a while the camera dosn't work and its like dead when ur speaking u have to have it on speaker most of the time,the games faulter too.

  • I like this phone... simple... small...the functions of camera and melodies are expansive...and high quality. But I don�t like of memory that. 1,8 mb is very small.

  • its good only for about 6 months but once there, please sell it because you gonna have endless problems. everything starts gettin broken, 1st the camera stops workin, then the screen go's blank and the phone keeps goin off.

  • i think the phone is brilliant i have not had any problems with it yet but the camera is a bit fuzzy i have seen others that are perfect it is very easy to usethe screen is very small and there is not a lot of memory and it would be much better withbluetoth or even infared 7.5 out of 10

  • hmm.. i wanted to get this phone.. but on the other hand i decided not to.. i'll tell u well.. even though i dun own this phone.. i saw.. it.. the camera sucks.. it's too blur...and the antena just looks too stumpy and nerdy.. sorry to those ppl who like/owned this phone.. i know the features are ok.. but from my point of view.. the antena as i said again looks really bad....

  • can someone please help me i bought the cable and cd on the computer it"s saying connecting to phone but it"s not I"m starting to really hate this phone it won"t do nothing could someone who knoes this phone please tell me how to work it

  • hi, my friend (12) is thinking of getting this phone. is it good for a teenager?? she just wants a flip phone and a camera, does this phone have a camera? please reply, cheers

  • My best friend got it in october and she can't use it so she asked my i have showed her but i still can't send her any thing or record anything and it doesn't have bluetooth which is a big disavantage.

  • i found out how to record things first you go into messages and go to new message. then new multimedia msg. then goto insert and then go down to voice record and then it well tell you to press and hold the voice key and that key is on the right side on the side on your phone press it and keep on holding it and it well start recording the sound that you want to put on your phone!!!!!!!!

  • i bought motorola v220 when i download games and ringtones from the internet on the phone it goes to 12% and says download failed and it still takes my money help''

  • Hi I got the v220 for christmas. I wouldn't recommend it. Very complicated to use. Please, does anybody know how to change message alert tone?

  • Hi, Had my V220 a couple of weeks, audio quality is great,much better than my Nokia, it's easy to use. Camera isn't great but to send pics to mates, it's good enough tho. I've had a few phones...and this one is great, How long does your batteries last tho? Email me if you want [email protected] Andy

  • oh yeah and my camera doesn't even work anymore... and one of the ringtones i bought all the sudden become " not found" so it won'e let me use that ringtone any more...

  • this phone is great at first but hte camera is very fuzzy u can barely tell what the pitcture is. if you like the voice ringtones don't expect to get to many bbc it has very little memory. and after a while it will randomly cut off. like the phone in a mis text message will cut off and u have to turn it back on and everyting you were wroking on is gone. and there is a static noise when you are talking on it.

  • I got da motorola v220 for my b-day and its great!!! i havent had any problems with it yet and i dont tink i ever will have any problem with it. Well if any1 asked me wa phne to but i will tell them to buy da motorola v220 fa sure its one of da best phones ever. Motorola on the hold is great i've had da v60 first then i got da v220 .

  • look that phone is a waste of money! trust me!!me cameras always been rubbish! its always dirty (the screen) and im not a unclean peep!dont buy it! listen to me! do not buy it! you dont even get what you pay for!

  • Brilliant i luv it! no problems and i hav had it 4 lyk 1 yr! it works gr8! i would suggets it to ppl who want a good cheap fone. if u r willing 2 spend more muni then there r alot nicer fones out there!

  • i think this awful,in fact i feel motorolas in general are awful!!!! the day after i got this phone it started to freze all the time.the coverage is terrible,it goes to voicemail even when it's turned on,no one ever gets my text messages nor do i get theirs.after you have had it a few months you need to charge it almost everyday.the picture quality is terrible.it is a bit confusing to use.and its not even that cute!!!!!!!!!!!!!! DO NOT BUY THIS PHONE

  • not a bad phone, really. i bought it in bangkok (i'm from india) somewhere in oct '04, i think, for around 8,500 baht (at that time, around $210). read some bad reviews - specifically about voice quality, screen quality and all that. but honestly, it's a damn good phone. very well made... i've thrown it against walls quite a few times (anger against something else!) and it's survived each round. right now, i've lost the antenna, but am able to use it without any problem at all. it was out of circulation for the last 2 months as i bought a new phone to test, and i plugged in a sim card today and the battery's as good as new. yes, the camera is pathetic, screen display is horrible, and audio quality is un-ratable and all that, but hey! it works, and works well. ofc, there are a thousand better options out there, but i like this cute little phone. btw, this is the tenth handset i've purchased over the years (and i'm now on my 12th), and is the first camera phone i bought. so, i know what i'm talking about.

  • this is the worst phone i have ever owned and i have owned a lot of phones!!! the screen is too small, the camera is very bad quality and it turns itself off all the time! ive had it for a year now and have never dropped it once in all this time but it has managed to get very scratched and the camera has stopped working now. it has hardly any memory as well. WARNING - DO NOT BUY THIS PHONE!!

  • iv had this fone for months and its working fine...no problem.....but the paint is horrible....its all going out!

  • i don`t have this one exactly, i have the moto v220i, and it gorgeous!!!!!..`cause has features like camera, video and mp3 ringtones...i just love it!!!

  • this phone is terrible. absolutely terrible. i think i've had it now for a year and a half and it's already dead. the screen is black and you can't view anything. it's a piece of crap. and it started doing this about 6 months ago. it sucks. boourns. don't buy it.

  • The v220 I bought still runs perfectly after about 6 months! (I live in Australia)

  • i totally agree with amz, its rubbish, a waste of time and life, honestly, whoever created this phone need to be ashamed of themselves

  • no dont buy it its horrid! its a waste of money!!! trust me! it freezes!! it wont m,ake calls i have only had it for 8 months! and my mates the camera has packed in and its just horrid! and the screens always dirty! no matter how many times u clean it!

  • I thing this motorola is the bert one, better than v3, its so amazing things that you can do whith one of v220! i love it! please buy one of this moto v220!

  • Anyone know how to delete high scores on the games?

  • Worse phone in phone history. Ruined reputation of Motorola, I'll never buy another Motorola. Had it a year ago, after 2 months, camera died, after another 3 months, it wouldnt turn on. Plugged the charger in and a light comes on and that's it, doesnt start up, just light. Works as a flashlight now. A total life time of 5 months, inwhich I never dropped.

  • when i first saw this phone i thought it was relle gud but someone i know got it and apparently it was really a waste of money!! DONT BUY THIS PHONE

  • ok i hate this phone it freezes its rubbish! dont get me started on such a ribbish thing!

  • i hate this phone! it really does my head in! but i suppose u get what u pay for it was 70 quid it freezes its horrid! lol dont get it! if ur lukin for a goodone!

  • i've had my phone for at least 5 months and the screen runs as normal...in fact i don't seem to have any of the problems everyone else does.

  • how can i use voicerecorder?

  • Can someone please help me, I'd like to know how to use the voice recorder.

  • This phone is alriteish, well a bit below Id give it 4/10. Good points: Cool games,voice recorder is clear, Pretty, clear messages Bad points: Screen goes blank very often, iv noticed it wasnt just me with this problem my sister had the same problem and many other people, bad display, very bad camera Now i hav the Motorola V620 and even though the camera is supposedly the same it works miles better.I think that it because the V620 has a 265K screen. yeah the Motorola V220 is cheap but what is the point of paying less when it is a very unreliable phone, prone to fizzling out and the screen going blank I would advise people against this phone completely!

  • Terri, Do you happen to know where i can buy the cd? I have the usb but not a cd. Thanks for your help. Amy

  • You need the usb that comes with the phone and the cd and they transfer on the computer easy.. Im not happy with this phone as my camera is not working on it and has to be sent back for repair.

  • You can change the cover and its very simple to do. Mine is bright yellow right now :) Does anyone know what to do to get the pictures from your phone to your computer screen?

  • i love this phone, a few glinches screen goes blank every once in awhile.but i have had it for 9 months now and if it is still working with me owning it it has to be good

  • I am very disappointed with this phone. I have only had it for four months and the speaker is not working and screen has gone blank. Very, Very Disappointed.

  • why isnt there any photos on here taken by the phone you should get some

  • I dont think you can change the faceplate on this phone. If you can, it wont be easy. You'll probably need to unscrew it.

  • luci: the camera and the speaker on my V220 never stopped working. I've had this phone for AT LEAST 6 months now. And it has never failed me.

  • Hi i would like to know if you are able to change the covers on this phone. Could sme one please let me knnow by replying back to this message thnx. -xxx

  • It looks good and I prefer it to other Motorola phones like the V500 as it is smaller and more attractive. But many of my friends have this phone and it appears to have some reliability issues, like the camera stops working and the speaker stops working - I used to have the V525 and the speaker stopped working in this too.

  • are MP3 and truetones the same thing?

  • I wanted to know where to locate the voice recorder.

  • This phone is excellent! Other phones are really slow when rushing. This one, it can keep up. It has all the practical features I need and none of the ones I don't need.

  • i think that the motorola v220 has good features yet i think i should at least have infared or even bluetooth. ive got the phone and i find it boring not being able to send and recieve things with my friends!!!!!!!!!

  • the phone's features are excellent, i know...however no-one really comments about the external screen...I find it to be one of the coolest things about the phone. Whenever something happens, eg. calendar event, missed calls etc., it pops up on the screen, right? Well, using the side buttons (press the ok button first, then scroll), you can actually access this information without opening your phone, eg. a calendar reminder, or a list of calls you missed. Quite fascinating really! Try it yourself!

  • This phone has gotta be the best. It is slim and fits well in pockets, and im sure it fits in good in girls bags. Good quality sound, colour and photos. Did i mention ringtones_ not only does this phone come with many great ones... you can create your own, download, and recieve them. Anywayz gotta go

  • what is with everyone putting such a bad name to this phone. I love it, it is super cute, good colour, i have dropped mine millions of times and it is still as if it is brand new. The photos are awsome aswell. It has good features included especially for the price. Think of more expensive phones they dont even have as good a quality. Please stop complaining

  • When ever i buy a ringtone/wallpaper it goes to browser message and i cant set it as my ringtone/ wallpaper how do i get it. Do i have to get the internet on my phone to get them.

  • I do not know how to program the phone to show who is calling. Even thought I have phone numbers in my address phone book, when a call comes in it still says "unidentified caller". How do i leave a voice mail message so that if i can't answer phone they can call me at another number? Thanks,

  • Tnis phone is amazing.It is as simple as that you canget and do everything with it If your looking 4 a great phone with good features ata great cost then this is the phone for you

  • I bought this phone last year in August and it just started giving me problems. I had a warranty but it was over a couple months ago. The front screen would work but when I open it up I would just see my background screen but no menu and when I get an incoming call it would not let me pick it up. Also occasionally when my phone did work, if i picked up an incoming call I would just hear static.....

  • If u looking a phone that will last u for a few months (2-4) the v220 is the phone for you

  • Anyone knows how to delete bloked stuff?

  • To Mike, You can change the contrast of the display in the settings. I prefer it on 4 (1 above default), the default is a bit weak coloured. To Sarah, You need not only the USB connector, but the software as well - it's called MobilePhoneTools, and you should've got it with the phone. If you didn't, you should be able to buy the CD individually somewhere, at a shop or online.

  • a nice little phone but i cannot get a driver to use on my windows xp pc any clues please

  • This particular phone has given me so much greif since ive gotten it, ive had to take it in for service twice now. The battery cover wont stay on and the screen powers off alot... and i don't drop it. i'd give it a 3 for quality... but the look isnt bad.

  • I love this phone. And like cmon guys for the price you pay for it the cameras not that bad. I think its aweosme cuz ive dropped it soo many times and it hasnt effected anything other than the crappy battery cover has fallen off. The cameras not that bad, especially considering its not meant to take award winning pics. how the heck do you get your picture fromt eh phone to the computer!!! i have the usb cord but my computer doesnt recognize it as new hardware!!! please help!!!!

  • hi guys...motorola have just launched this phone in pink yay!! and i was thinking of buying it..but i really want to know how many text messages it can hold at one time...inbox and outbox. Does anybody know??? would love to know the answer. I'd sooo appreciate ur comments!

  • my main gripe with this phone is its internal display has crappy contrast, making the camera virtually unusable. if you really love cameraphones, get a phone with something better than a CSTN display screen. otherwise, I LOVE that it uses a mini USB jack for data transfers (didn't need to buy a cable), so I make my own ringtones in mp3 and the little speaker on the back sounds great.

  • v220 can't record video unfortunately. however, it can play videos you transfer from pc or receive from friends via mms. to transfer pics you need the MobilePhoneTools CD, which in Australia came with the phone. You might be able to buy it separately in retail stores, or on Ebay? PS to those who use 'screen broke twice in a year' as a complaint of the phone's weakness, why don't you just TRY keeping the thing safe?!! unless of course you were referring to the external screen, which would be a valid comment.

  • this phone has a video on it, does anyone know how i record videos? also how do i get ree software to put pics on pc?? plz hlp

  • i have had this phone for nearly a year and twice the screen has broken. first the caerma broke in december(i got it in october) then the screen went black in march, i sent it off to be fixed and EVERYTHING got wiped off my phone n i think it got an upgrade. i got it back and it has recently done the same. this happened to my friend as well i advise anyone looking to buy this phone :DONT!! its not worth the money

  • I accidently deleted my games from my phone (motorola v 220). Can they be reinstalled, if so how? Please help.

  • everyone is saying this phone is either really good or really bad so i dontknow what to buy!@@

  • Cris: I don't think it would last 4 to 5 days medium to normal use. It would probably last 2 to 3 days

  • Cris: Yes, it does last for 4-5 hours medium to normal use. Well, at least, it does to me.

  • could someone please let me know how's the battrey of v220 - does it last for at least 4-5 days of medium-normal use?

  • Thanks for the helpful answers!

  • correction...yes, you can store more than one number for an entry. Just select "MORE" when filling in a new entry.

  • 1. Yes, the organizer is in the form of a calendar. On the phone it's actually called the "datebook" 2. Yes, you can attach as many memos as you wish on the same day, and you can choose whether or not to have a reminder. (HELPFUL TIP: when you get an event while the phone is closed, if you press the smart key on the side, the message will pop up on the external screen. Quite handy!) 3. I'm not too sure. The sim can hold AT LEAST 500 I think (anyone, please correct me if i'm wrong) 4. The Fields of entry are pretty dumb. Basically, it's one number per entry, full stop. I have heard you can attach more somehow. I haven't had troubles with this bother to be honest :)

  • Hi there. I am interesting in buying this phone. However, I am unable to find some technical information which is rather important for me. Could anyone of you folks owning this mobile help me? 1. does the Organizer include a calender. 2. If so, can you assign several memos to one day - and specify whether or not you want a reminder? 3. How many entries can you make in the address book... 4. ...and how many fields does each entry include (Name, privateTel, officeTel, mobile, Fax etc.)? Thanks very much

  • it a nice phone and very convenient to use. am facing a problem with the set,i was able to find the password for the reset and it seems everything changed that is the colour changed and am confused of how to get the previous colour back.kindly help me on that and i will be very greatfull.

  • hey...ive been thinking about getting this phone and my friend has it and she doesnt hav any porbs but if i could get sum1 else to tell me if it is worth it or not i would be greaful..thanx

  • THIS PHONE IS CRAP!!!!! I am on my second one. The microphone is junk. The screen goes white and then i have to open and close it. When I get incoming calls, I can hear them but they can not hear me so I have to take out the batterey. I called Cingular and they told me that i needed to turn the phone off for at least 30 seconds every nite and it would fix the problem. Guess what it doesn't..SO I bought another phone....

  • Hey this phone rocks! But dose any one know where i can downloade the software?

  • to bekkie, on the contrary, many people seem to find that the phone is quite a toughie in terms of dropping and breaking and the lot...

  • This phone though neat has an microphone problem. Ever so often the microphone in the earpiece stops working, and one only hear if the speaker function is enabled.

  • After reading a lot of these comments about phones breaking ect. I was wondering if I am better off going for a Samgem MYC4-2? I am only a 16 and am looking to upgrade from a old useless nokia 3315. I don't need anything facy just a cute camera filp phone. Any ideas what I should do?

  • glad to see a few enthusiasts for the phone...you won't be disappointed! Let me clear up some things for people wanting to buy the phone: it HAS voice dial (max. 5 people, actually). it DOES NOT have voice memo or voice command. HOWEVER, if you are desperate to get something recorded on your phone there IS a way: using the mms feature WITHOUT sending the message. here's how it works: Go to MESSAGES => NEW MESSAGE => NEW MULTIMEDIA MESSAGE. Press INSERT, go to VOICE RECORD. Record what you want, remembering to press AND HOLD DOWN the voice button (the one on the right side). When done, release voice button, and press DONE. Tick any person on your phone list: you won't be sending it anyway. Check at least one, then press DONE. When you get to the screen with the lines to fill in (msg;subject;attachments etc), DO NOT press the center or right SEND button. Press the MENU button (the funny moto one), and select SAVE AS DRAFT. Now your record is saved. I know it's tedious and quite trivial, but if you're desperate, then it works. ONE CATCH: you can only record 20 seconds per message. if it's longer you'll need to continue it on another new message :-) PS If anyone knows a faster way can they please tell me on this site? ;-)

  • im so excited about getting this phone my twin sister is getting a different phone its a sagem its a flip camera ble phone it ROX but i love this phone even MORE!!!! :)

  • u can git hte software from usb-drivers.com its called p2k manager ,,, dum bots

  • u can have about 30-50 photos at a time at vga resolution. and you can have quite a few mp3 ringtones too, provided they're not cd tracks that go for ages...they won't fit :-)

  • for those guys living in australia (sydney, specifically): the reception works really really great, i've tried calls and the person on the other side gets everything i say, no probs. i'm surprised people say it has poor reception, but that would depend on service provider and location i guess.

  • hello...i want to buy a v220...what do you say? is it good...it isn't? i'm interested to know how many photos and mp3 ringtones u can have at a moment... does the mobile have video recorder? i am aspecting a respons imediately...email me [email protected]

  • good little unit. going great for the price. also availible for $15 a month. no problems selling it cause it sells itself.

  • this is a review from a teenager, first-time budget mobile buyer who's had the phone for a week: Style: 10/10 Absolutely love it! Nice silver coating and bluish-black front screen panel. Keypad is standard, with scroll keys and voice key on the sides. Camera is smack bang in the middle: looks quite good, though that's an individual opinion. Features: 10/10 Hey, it's AUS$199! That's a good price for a phone with camera, mp3 ringtones, organizer, etc. and the animated menu looks very nice. Screen/Camera quality: 9/10 The screen may look small, but when you're using it you'll notice it's not that bad. i had doubts before purchasing it, but i'm fine now. unless you're a big multimedia person, it's enough. The VGA camera is decent, and the pictures look good on the computer and on the phone. Just note that digital zoom takes exactly the same size picture, but the area you've selected gets expanded, thus the resolution lower, and not as good quality. I don't know whether that's the same for every phone, but i'm sure digital zoom's like that. BOTTOM LINE: just don't zoom, pictures look great without it. User-friendly: 9.5/10 Some find motorola phone menus confusing, some find 'em a sinch. The truth is, everything's completely accessible, just READ THE MANUAL, that's what it was for! Things like games are easy to find, while smaller features need more attention. Keypad shortcuts are changeable, soft keys are too, which is excellent! Memory: 9/10 I'll admit its memory is no big thing...but 1.8MB is quite substantial, considering photos and music can be transferred to and from computer whenever needed. Pictures on VGA resolution are about 40-60kb, so that's still a lot of pictures at a time. Battery Life: 9/10 I've been using this phone so much i can't be sure, but the hours i've used it seem to match its description (about 5-6). Charging from zero to full is about 3.5 hours. OVERALL: 9.5/10 A complete phone, highly successful, recommended for a budget user who wants an extraordinary experience out of their phone. Congrats Motorola! PS I'm interested to know what others think about this phone, especially the ones with more money, therefore more choice. any comments would be highly appreciated.

  • everytime i log onto MEdia net, i get this message saying data server not available. what does this mean? and could someone tell me how to email a picture from my phone to my computer?

  • hi if you have any questions feel free to email me

  • hi all ive had the motorolan v220 for about 6 months it is a good little phone but im disapointed with the camera as it was not as good as i hoped and the front of my screen has craked apart from that its is an ok phone 6/10

  • Can you save the recorded voice message without sending it first? If so, how? Thank you.

  • To all those dopes who couldn't find the voice key: Well, to be honest, it took me a while to find it too. It's on the right hand side (the side button with the circle thing and sound rays...see it?) And make sure you press AND release it before speaking a voice tag.

  • I have a motorola v220 and i think it is weird. i can't go on the internt because it takes too long to connect and wastes my credit, therefore i can't get any good ringtones. i really want to upload my pictures from it to my computer and i have the usb lead but i dont have the software. can someone help?

  • Where iz the voice recorder? And what iz wrong with the camera but besides that the fone iz great.

  • heeeey.the fone is great i love it!but can you record videos on it..because it comes with a video of skiing.

  • Can I get a receipt for a text message sent and opened by the person I'm sending too?

  • the phone it's good but the soft sucks !!!!

  • I need software for Motorola V220. Somebody know where can i found this for download ?

  • to record voice from MMS, it said to press the voice key. What is the voice key? i tried pressing and holding the green button when you dial a call but nothing is happening.

  • How long can u record. Can u use what u record as a ringtone

  • It seems to be a great phone. I boutht software from Motorola at $29.95. The USB cable is a standard used on most still and video cameras, got mine at a yard sale!

  • the voice recorder is a secret in motorola u can voice record in mms and choose voice rec. and if u send it. it will go to the outbox and press choose STORE

  • can sum1 freakin tell me where is the voice recorder????

  • Why not wait more than one day before telling us how much you love the phone, If you wait a while you may get to know the phone a bit more and can give a more accurate opinion about how good or bad it is.

  • Some people dont like the camera in this phone. This phone is rather inexpensive So with the money you save from buying this phone you could buy a DIGITAL CAMERA! Then photo quality will not be a problem

  • I've had the phone for about three months and I like it but i can't find the usb software anywhere. Can someone help me?

  • I've had the phone for about three months and I like it but i can't find the usb software anywhere. Can someone help me?

  • where can i find the voice recorder

  • I am currenly in UK and Orange has a good offer fo pay as you go for 49.99 Pounds. Very keen to buy this but bfore wanted to check if this will wok in India.

  • Yes this fone has a voice recorder

  • I've had this fone for about two weeks now and I'd personally recomend it to ANYONE and EVERYONE!!! THe camera is GREAT, true storage is limited but don't forget that you can upload them onto your pc! yay! Some people think the screens too small but to be honest when your reading your messages, looking as pics etc u don't notice it, besides its bigger than the one I had before It's a tough little fone, I work around horses- 24/7- and i've had dirt and little bits of gravel squeeze itself between the flip bit of the fone at the top when its closed so that when I open it up it all falls out!!!! So grose but it's only got one tiny little scratch on the silverwork!!!! How tough is that!? Sound quality is awsome and I LOVE the fone. Take it from me if your thinking about buying this fone but have you doubts about it well I have to say "just go and buy it it's the best investment you'll ever make" I paid $199 and although it was all of my birthday money it was definatly worth it.

  • does the motorola v220 have a voice recorder?

  • Cant really fault this phone.Ive had it nearly a year and it still only needs charging once a week! Good camera-although storage is limited. Can be used in europe & USA which was great. Simple to use! Can store a lot of texts. Good value!

  • you can't. level 7 is the loudest.

  • this phone rules but i put my phone on leval 7 in the volume but when ever it rings i cant here it how do i make it louder?

  • Hi all, I've just saved up enough to buy this fone. I've been looking around for ages and finally decided on this one. I've heard about the small screen- but no worried, still bigger than the one i've got now. Overall I think this fone is a good buy but I'm still a little iffy about a few things... I'm in Australia- Tasmania actually- and I can only find the fone- to buy- locked under Virgin. Is Virgin any good? I've heard it's the same as optus but not 100% sure. Can you just buy the fone anywhere straight out, up frount, not locked to any network? Your opinions would mean alot, please help me out it's now 9 and I'm getting this fone today at about 3 so please think speedy thoughts people. Thankx heaps

  • What can I do!!! I bought a V220 and after activating my MMS's and Browser Setup(MTN Network). I was unable to make use of these futures and was told by a Motorola Consultant the phone had a software related problem(even though it was brand new)!! Second One(another V220) i took out on Vodacom Contract. Same problem Plus the phone froze and i was unable to use the keypad!!! Took the phone back to my service provider,was given a brand new phone(same model-V220)and atleast this time i can receive and send MMS's, but no internet browsing, no downloading of ringtones!!! To sum up: 3 brand new Motorola V220 all with the same problem!! And Motorola cannot give me an answer as to why?They cannot even tell me what the Error message means!!!!! What can i do? Im helpless!

  • THE PHONE . . . its 128x128 medium display looks great and is clear, though if you want a higher resolution, there are phones available with 128x160 or better. Especially if you are a multimedia head. For me, it�s perfect. There are two hot pre-programmed buttons on the outside, including the dedicated camera shutter button. You can adjust the volume of the earpiece on the outside of the phone with the up and down arrow keys, right above the camera hot button. COSMETIC DETAILS . . . mostly plastic parts, but sturdy for the most part. Yes, it creaks when you open it, but so does my car door, but the vehicle�s performance is not hindered (lol). It still works. I�m not concerned about a cosmetic issue that doesn�t effect the usability of my phone. I haven�t or have any intentions of abusing my phone, so I couldn�t tell you about how it handles scratches. I keep mine in a protective slip case with a belt clip. So far, no scratches. If you don�t want your phone scratched, you just have to protect it and be careful. If something does happen, there are products available to repair any cosmetic issues. OS . . . I like the icons, the organization, and animations of the system. You also have the option to change your menu, hide your icons, and much more. It�s totally customizable. AUDIO . . . I can feel the vibration through my beltclip. I had the radio in my Cadillac turned up (as usual) and did not hear my ringer and jumped the first time I felt it vibrate. So, it�s powerful. If it�s in your pocket, you�ll definitely know if someone is trying to get your attention. Especially if you�re at the clubs and need to find one of your friends. Gotta love text messaging. The ringer is loud enough. I can understand and bounce to the beat of my music tones whenever someone calls. There is obviously a level at which you may not hear it. That�s just how it is. Certain sound effects and music tones will be louder than others. Not all audio files are sampled at the same rate, which can also make a difference. If you get crappy, cheap audio tones (like from most free sites) you don�t have to question why you can�t hear them. FEATURES . . . absolutely feature rich. You can do just about anything with this phone. You can take pictures, download all types of multimedia, surf the web, send multimedia or simple text messages, set multiple alarms, add dates to your calendar (which has many options in itself), and so much more! CONS . . . if you like the phone, but wanted to add space to hold your ringtones and pictures, that would be a major problem. You can�t expand the space, so you would have to constantly transfer your images to your computer to free up space for future ringtones and/or pictures. You can have a small library of ringtones and other audio. The space is also shared with any messages you choose to save and for anything you do on the web. So, you�ll need to clean out your cache and history from time to time, if you use the web on your phone often. With all these features, 1.8 MB of space just isn�t quite enough. If you want space, get a phone with bluetooth technology. They have phones with space starting at 5MB on up to 64MB and larger. ISSUES WITH MOST CELLULAR PHONES On some phones, screens are supposed to go �black� or simply shut off the backlit display after the set delay. If you do not want the screen to go �black� you can turn the delay off, but this will run the battery down as it will not shut off when the phone is closed (not with my test, anyway) and the option effects the outside display too. This will absolutely shorten the life of the battery. If you are constantly doing something on the phone, it should not turn �black�. If you�re talking on the phone, there really isn�t a good reason to have the backlit display on in the first place after you�ve placed your call. A suggestion is to buy a premium, higher capacity LI-ION battery to support this feature. // if you have further problems with your phone, please send me an e-mail. I will be glad to help you. //If you just bought your phone and have been trying to send text messages or get online, it will be between 3 and 5 full days before all of your features will be activated. When you get a voicemail, that is when all your features are available. You can then setup your voicemail and surf the web as you please. None of my calls have ever dropped, I don't sound like I'm in a well, I have 5 bars 94% of the time, and my camera never froze on me while taking a series of pictures. Thanks!

  • how do i transfer a java (.jar or .jad) application from pc to phone? i use the mobile phone tools software. thanks!

  • Do you know where you can buy the UBS cable, and does any know any simple methods of removing scatches from phones nbot on the screen but on the outside of the phone. Please Email me. [email protected] it would be greatly appreciated.

  • someone was helpful when i asked about the charging question and this is what they said: its normal. if your profile had have stayed on either 'vibrate and ring' or 'vibrate', it would damage your charger. if you change your profile to either 'soft' or 'silent', you will notice that it doesn't switch to 'loud'.

  • every time i charge my phone, the ring style switches to "loud". how do i switch this off? i couldnt find it in the settings and its not in the manual as well. thanks

  • one more things.....my phone cant play any mp3 songs....do i need to install any software in it?????

  • i don't know why all the bad comments about the phone. i bought my own from virgin and it works perfectly. and by the way i have the drivers for it (for mft and p2k) for those who are interested e-mail me.

  • hey i was just wondering if it was worth it to buy this fone, iv read the comments but they seem to be mixed im just not sure wether to buy this phone or the lg c1100 i would really like it if someone could email me at [email protected]. thnx michal

  • This phone sucks. I have had 3 Nokia's over the past five years and they all worked flawlessly. I bought this phone in October and in December the screen cracked and it took Motorola a month to send a replacement. Then in March I sent it back due to a creak from the hing. Now it's May and it won't power on. So that makes 3 replacements in 7 months. Steer clear from this piece of sh*t.

  • My girlfrinend has this phone and it is a piece of junk it is the second one that she has had. The first one kept dropping the calls and turning off and making a loud static noise. and the second one of that same kind did pretty much the same thing. I wouldnt recomend that anyone get this phone.

  • is there anyone who knows how to unlock the motorola V220 phone? coz' I typed the wrong SUBSIDY PASSWORD.... by the way what's the SUBSIDY PASSWORD in english?

  • i got this phone for my birthday and i week after i got it the reception went on it do you if it can get videos on it i can not get ringtones are anything on my phone i think that this phone is cheap this is my 2 one and my last one i was ok liked days after my brithday butt now it is not

  • do not get this phone it is trouble it blanks out completely it is my second one & actually the camera is not a clean one its very dirty

  • !Do not get this phone! My third phone is in the mail via the exchange program from Cingular. The first time the main screen went blank. This time the ear piece stopped working. I have not dropped either phone. I also know of three other people who are on their second phone. BTW: if you have to get an exchange through Cingular, your warranty does not start over. After a year from reciept of your original phone you are out of warranty!

  • can anyone please send me a picture taken with this phone? my address is [email protected] thank you

  • I've had this phone for about 6 months now. It has worked great until a few weeks ago. I don't know what happened, but all of a sudden I can't send anything outgoing. I can't call people, or send text messages. When i dial a number and press send, the phone just goes back to the main screen. The weird thing is, I can recieve calls perfectly.

  • For Aqueel: I'e had a problem just like yours. The only solution is to take your phone back to your dealer and ask them to reinstal the software. Unless you are able to do that yourself :)

  • Hi I got a motorola V220. It worked just fine a couple of days after unlocking. But after that whenever i tried to go into the personalize option, the screen went black. The other options are working fine. Can any1 help?

  • Anyone looking for software to transfer data from PC to V220 or vice versa should check out Motorola Mobile Phone Tools, or just Mobile Phone tools. Not sure what the difference is but I have the program and it works wonders. Cheers!

  • :::::::::: ATENTION :::::::::: Here is the driver and the software for Motorola V220:

  • Anyone looking for the Transfer Tools software to connect to your PC should try eBay. You can buy the usb cable and software together for around �5-�8. I bought mine off eBay and have no problems at all with both Win98SE and WinXP.

  • I have been using this phone for 6 weeks and these are my thoughts. The camera quality is as good as most other 300k cameras when the pictures are transfered to PC, and are on a par with my k700i. The CSTN screen is adequate but obviously not as good as TFT. The reception is very good even with a micro aerial. The ring quality is good but the volume of some of the poly tones can be slightly low and the vibration is not very strong. The speakerphone quality can sometimes be very poor. The interface is easy and straight-forward to navigate. SMS messages can be tricky to write until you get used to it. Battery life is average. Memory is not expandable and can only store around 25-30 full size pictures. Overall I think this phone is a very good buy especially at the price (I paid �49.99 from Virgin Mobile).

  • Seems as though Motorola does not want anyone to be aboe to transfer pictures from this phone to their computers. Everyone that I know with this phone is looking for the drivers for it and no one yet has said that they have been able to find them. I am VERY dissapointed in it becuase other than that I have nto complaits a nice phone.

  • Hi Were do I get software for my Motorola V220 so that i can download pictures from my v220 to my computer any ideas

  • I've had the phone for a month or two - dropped it a few times on hardwood floors - no prob, it still seems to be "motorola" tough anyhow (in my experience), but kinda cheap in that its a lot of plastic instead of metal. oh well. for 60 or 70 bucks, (forget, there was a rebate too) i guess I cant complain considering i live in a very hilly area with a lot of mountain ranges and the reception used to totally stink before gsm. the camera is kinda lame, but oh well. google around the net, get Mobile Phone Tools software and other goodies out there, and then you can download nice free java games and cool pics to you 'puter and then upload to the phone (tricky, but simple once you figure it out - search for mobile phone tools v220 :-) jamie

  • thinking bout getin dis fone is picture quality good.cheers

  • I recently purchased the v220 and i am traveling internationally and was wondering if anyone knows if i can plug the charger into a 240 outlet. I live in the US and we use 110 so i was wondering if the phone is capable of going internationally without a problem. thank you.

  • Hey i wont to buy this fone, and have found it for only �59.95 is this a good deal or not it looks pretty snarsay PLEASE CAN SOMEONE TELL ME !

  • This phone is cheap! I got it a few months ago and its already broken. For some reason I cant see the screen. Ever since I got it i took good care of it and never dropped or messed it up to make the screen go blank. I can receive calls but dont know who is calling...the outside screen doesnt seem to work either. When it did work, everytime i had it on speaker i would get an annoying buzz that I and the person Im talking to can hear. And when i close the phone, i guess there is a spring in it because it feels like theres one. The camera isnt the best. If you're near light then you'll get clear photos. but in the dark and in dim lighting dont even bother. The limited memory allows me to store a few photos and names. The phone looks like a toy and the screen is tiny, and the game i had on it totally disappeared. The only thing i like about this phone is that the voice ringtones play awesome on this phone but other than that its cheap. I got this for free. If i had to buy this phone, then that would have been a big regret.

  • I just bought the v220 and now I need to find what software I need to download pics from the phone to my computer for storage. I did not buy the e-mail package from cingular so e-mail from phone is not an option. Anyone have any ideas????

  • Can you record songs and voice records If so how?

  • I was wondering if you could tell me how to e-mail pictures from this phone? Is it possible....I can't get it figured out. I have USB Cable, and software, but when I loaded it into computer, it didn't work saying the phone has no reception. Any suggestions? Drop me a n e-mail! Thank you so very much!

  • jozette, yes you can. The one drawback is that they mus be stored in your phone, not your sim card. Scroll to the address book entry. Hit the "edit" softkey. change the option "store to:" and change it to "Phone". Once you do this, there's an option below that to assign a "ringer ID". That's the customizable ringtone.

  • Does anybody know if you can assign ringtones to people in your address book? Thanks.

  • I have boughten a faceplate and I have gotten the back on without a problem and I have gotten the faceplate off, but my face plate still doesn't fit because of the blue/black plate that I can't get off. Is there a way I can get this off? Or how would I get the flaceplate on? It won't snap down on the top over the blue plate. and its a full face plate. Thanks

  • Hi! I wonder i'm counting my money if i should buy v220 or not! Should I?? It's kind a s cheap her in Norway! Peace out! God Bless

  • I just got the v220 basically for the speakerphone and I needed to upgrade to a gsm phone, finally. Unfortunately unless you hold the phone w/i a foot of your ear you can't hear it. Also the vibe is so slight unless it's pushed up against your body you don't feel or notice it. This was another feature I needed. My Nokia 3360 had a strong vibrating alert and the ring volume was much stronger so I could here that better too. I only found one ringtone that I can hear decent enough when theres alot of background noise around. I'm planning on returning this phone and going back to my old one and old plan unless I can find a phone that's better for me. Stronger vibrate alert and speakerphone that's hearable.

  • im in the same boat as the rest of you.I had purchased a v220 camera phone for my daughter and i can't recive the drivers for it. Windows searches but with no results.I plug in the usb and windows recognize's it is a v220 but does not find any drivers . Please help as soon as possible, thanks Dave

  • I have a usb cable from a digital video camera that has the same connection as the v220, when I connect it to my computer, it shows it dectected the v220 but says it cannot find the driver. can anyone help me find a driver and software for it. Is it possible to download the pictures from the v220 to my computer

  • For thos who want to plug their v220 with the usb well : Go to www.download.com search for MOBILEDIT, the recent version for it and its amazing, transferring image mp3's! free to use m be 2 months now and it's still free and unlimited!

  • I recieved this phone 2 days ago and I am quite impressed, you need software to connect it to your PC, try the afterdawn.com forums. I admit the camera isn't amazing but this is quite an upgrade from my nokia 3390

  • how do you use the usb port

  • Im needing to find software and drivers for it but I've had this phone for a few weeks now and I am really happy with it. It can do way more than my LG could and then some. The camera resolution isnt too good, but who cares about that.

  • I love this phone to death. It works so well with Motorola's MPT software, and I can fit more ringtones and graphics then I can imagine i could on my old v180. If anyone needs the drivers or software, email me. Make sure you put "v220" in the subject line so my spam filter doesn't bounce it back. Thanks, guys. I have custom mp3 tones available for anyone who wants them.

  • I have had the phone since christmas and have found that it is one of the best phones i have ever had. Some people say that the screen is too small for a camera, but it is a phone after all. You want a good picture for the shot, buy a camera. I have seen from this site that the motorola v220 has been classed as old. I think this is totally wrong because if you look at a new phone for example the o2 x2, you will notice that almost everything the v220 has matches or is better than the x2. I love using the phone and has provided cool gadgets and high quality pictures for me. It has been extremely reliable every day and i have had no problem at all with it. I can't see what people see wrong with it as it is a brilliant phone.

  • This is genuinly the worst phone i have ever had in my life. It is a very nice looking phone from the outside. Smart looking and it also feels nice in your hand. However, when you open the flip, you will be upset. The screen size is not as big as the average camera phones are now, and it has a poor picture quality. I had this phone for 3 days and the camera stopped working. So i took it back and got a refund, then brought a V80 which i am immensly happy with. If i was you, i would steer well clear from the V220 unless you want a granny's phone. I would prefer to have a Nokia 3310 than this phone. Infact, i used my brothers for the next week whilst i was waiting for a chance to take the pile of **** back. I really was dissapointed with this phone. Looks nice from the outside but is a big letdown.

  • can anyone teel me that does this phone plays MP3 files???

  • I had a t720 and my guarantee replace with the V220, I was so excited to receive it, but in the mean time someone gave me a new e316 samsung fully equiped, damn this is the bomb, week later i receive the V220 and believe it or not i wasnt happy with that, If u compare the e316 with v220, its a big difference! The V220 have a tiny screen , Why so little? as some of u mention, the batterie cover or the usb cover doesnt stick on it and the cheap quality of the box ( real plastic for toys) are put to assemble the phone! Motorola is playing with us! This phone cost 319.00 CND and the Samsung e316 399.00 CND just but 80$ more and u will have a better phone! I'm disappointed for the V220. Motorola you can do better than that!

  • My battery cover comes off really easy. How can I fix this?

  • Can Motorola charge over 8 hour?My Motorola charger is not respond after charge over 8 hour.Although,I think my Motorola with 65k screen colour display is just like 4096 colour display.And,how can i connect my Motorola direct to the computer?However the camera quality on this phone is much better than Nokia 6610i.

  • Does anyone know how to send pictures that you take on your phone to an email address?

  • Anyone know what would happen if i hook my usb cord from my computer to te outlet on the phone?

  • I bought 2 camera phone at the same time, a nokia 3220, and of course the motorola v220. Th enokia is about the same price, they are both free heer with contract. The Nokia is definately a supirrior phone, id say the most advanced cellphone ive ever seeen in my life. T epicture quality is far better, takes movies with sound. has amazing ringtones and it lights up on 2 places on each sisde when it rings or any otehr message in tune with the ringtone, i have the motorola and the one advantage i do give the v220 is that it has better recxeption, but that is not usualyy an issue. Just wanted to givemy honest opinion, ladies and gentelmen if you have a choice betwen nokia 330 or motorolla v220, save yourself the grief buy the nokia. (i have been converted to nokia over this phone)

  • V220 is beautiful, smart and cool. But if you want to download the pictures to PC, is needed some drivers, so, it is not complicate. BBBBBBByyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyeeeeeeeeee

  • I like this phone for a reconditioned phone with a camera on it for �45 delivered next day I can't grumble.The manual is pretty easy to understand but I'd love to send a camera picture via email and for the life of me can't figure out how to do it anyone help me out please? Be your best friend for 5 minutes if you help me.

  • I bought this phone last friday and I have 2 say that till now,so after 2 days its a lovely phone. Yeah the cam quality isn`t so high, but I bought a phone not a cam!! so I am happy with my phone. About 2 load the pics, anyone can send me the site to download the software?? thnx 4 ya help Curacao citizen happy with her Moto... P.S > @ my island this phone isnt cheap, as I saw in early msges! it costs me $269!!!

  • This phone is great !!! i can get one 4 50 $ and the E700 is around 200 $, this is biiig!!! VGA Camera, all in one small beautiful phone... zby

  • I have the V300 and now I received the V220 because I switched companies. I also agree, that the camera on the V220 sucks. that's the first flaw that i noticed. design-wise i like the v300 better and it has a bigger display screen. i will probably have my v300 unlocked and use that one rather than my v220. overall, the v220 does seem like an okay phone though.

  • I was comparing Motorola v220 to Samsung e700, and noticed that the camera was the same(VGA, 640x480 pixels) I don�t really understand this, because everybody says that the camera on v220 is bad. I have the Samsung e700 and the camera is great. or was, before my dog attacked my phone :( And the color as well, theyr both 25000, or something like that....

  • to all that needs this info ......................... i am randy a software desinger and i think the lil problem you guys have is getting much features for your cellphones,well i don't blame you since we are in the computer age every body needs the best of things to use easily,but since you know that nothing goes for nothing,i'll give you a lil procedure to use and get the features you want for your phones,but first as a software designer i really need my cut before i can give out to the market my very best hints,so i think you ought to pay by credit card to the mentioned email address above. please include your name,adress,cell phone number,zip code,the features you want to get and the credit card number(plus expiry date) that you want to exchange for these mervellous features you require.do this and i will send you a text with the info you've given to show you the easiest way to get what you want

  • help me please. ive bought my first ever phone a motorola v220 and need to software to downlaod it 2 my fone but i dont know how and how to make ringtones and recieve pictures do you know websites that i can connect the usb through my fone to the computer id be so grateful

  • I need an help from somone. My phone V220 was fallen on the erth the battery went outside and when I tried to trun it on again the screen was blue and plain without fonts. I need an help how to fix it. I toook again the battery off and reopen it but nothing. I will appriciate the helping.

  • I do make my own mp3 ringtones ready to download to your phone care of MPT. Anyone interested should e-mail me. I can always get another song to make into a ringtone, but they take me about a week to mix. I will continue to answer driver and software questions about the v180, even though I have upgraded to the v220. The following is a list of ringtones I have readily available, and their quailty ranking. Aerosmith - Dream On ***** Schooly D - The ATHF theme (full) **** The Cure - Lovesong ****1/2 System of a Down - Legend of Zelda (full) ***** Cake - Going the distance ***1/2 Queen - Another 1 bites the dust ***** Five Iron Frenzy - Every New day *** ZZ Top - Legs ** Blur - Song 2 **** Pantera - Walk ** Edwin Starr - War (what is it good for?) ***** Email me @ [email protected] with requests or suggestions. I don't charge, yet...

  • great phone plus i got it free awesome camera and easy to use very self explanatory upgrade from my samsung

  • well i have had loads of phones and my verdict is this is one of the worst. i have had 5 camera phones, inc. samsung E800 slide (the best) and this was the worst. however wot d u expect 4 the price?? had it not even 1 day and it was flashing on+off, this phone is cheap, poor quality although it may look nice at first. its a toy phone.

  • ok lets put it in the limelight yes the camera quality is poor ignore what others say but for�79.99 its now a bloody bargain lets u download few videos to but early 2003/2004 tend to switch themselfs off beening u have to take the battery out and re insert it common fault downside no bluetooth/infared but thats reflected in the price

  • i think the camera works great but it is a little hard to figure out how to do other things on it like change the ring tones and such but overall i am really happy with it

  • I think that this phone is pretty nice for the price. The camera doesnt have the best quality but that is what you get for a lower end phone. I think that it is a great buy and if you were considering buying it go with it.

  • this phone is so great and its the best thing in my life!!! the camera is great so ignore the nerds that say its not !!!

  • how many ringtones dose it come with... What are they??? pleaet ell

  • WOW WHAT A PHONE!!! I had a v600 and i stole my ex's v220 and cot damn what a phone! The small fuzzy screen and bad sound quality are everything you would expect from a high end model like this! Forget the v600! sure, the v6 has bluetooth, but who needs that anyways? as long as I have my demo version of bejeweled i'm happy. YaY Motorola!!! This is a desposable phone...literally.

  • how long does the battery work in casual use?

  • OK - so I said this phone was cool in my previous message, but now I'm getting just a tad fed-up with it. Is anybody else having problems with entering their email address via the WAP service? My email address is all lower case lettering but the phone will NOT let me enter the first letter in lower-case. Aarrgghh!!!!!

  • I think this is a great phone, but it comes with NOTHING!!!! If you want extra ring tones, extra games, etc., you have to buy it! The ring tones it comes with are cheesy at best. My real old Nokia phone came with better ring tones! It doesn't come with any games but a demo version of bejewelled. If you use the "shop for..." links for anything on your phone, you are charged a connection fee per kilobyte of information transferred, not to mention anything you have to buy. I am disappointed in the value of this phone. If I knew better before I signed a contract, I would have tried a different phone.

  • I was wondering if you can record something from your phone and apply it as a ringtone..some of my friends have different phones and they like record a song off the radio and apply it as a ringtone..can you do that with this phone??

  • It's a cool, small, and cute phone. But I'm having a HUGE problem with it. This hot lad has sent me a picture but it won't let me download it, and I'm not allowed 2 send any pictures either. Can anyone out there help me?

  • I have a motorola v220 for 6 months and i too can only hear the caller speaking when i use the speakerphone. I returned it to my network agent and he said this is a common problem with this model.

  • I've got this problem and was wondering if anyone else had it also, I've had it for less than a month and it just messed up, I cant hear anything out of the phone unless I put it on speakerphone. I just got it replaced for the same problem and it's been less than a month. Anyone have the same problem?

  • This phone sucks the screen is so small and its such bad quality. The camera is always fuzzy and its not clear to begin with. The front part of the telephone gets scartched within the first 5 minutes. I truly recommend you not buying this phone because if my parents let me buy a new one soon, I'd slam dung it into the garbage can. I rest my case.

  • Um has anyone figured out the software thing? No one actually posted the answer. I have the USB cord (didn't actually need to buy one, my camera wire fit the phone too!) But I cannot do anything without the software for my computer to make it work. The phone is not that bad. I am disappointed in the lack of rings it comes with and 2.50/ring is WAY TOO EXPENSIVE. I mean I can buy a whole song on line for 99 cents. I just think motorola makes everything too expensive (all the extras like the cases and stuff). The camera is not the best, but it is better than some of the others I have seen.

  • not good wat inspired this to be made i own a motorola and love it but when i had one of these i was descraced at the low quality of the functions i.e camera better luck next time motorola

  • If you are going to write any comments that will help evaluate a product, please explain how some part failed or what specifically was difficult. If something was easy just say so. One evaluator say it's crap while another says it's better than sex. Just expalin why you think what you think.

  • That site would be go there and download the p2kman.zip (thats the one under xp)

  • Well I can say the Spanish site (as some ppl called it) sure helped me to get my V220 kickin. Actually it was some tough work with my registry editor but I managed. I must say thanks to DEN who started the post of the Spanish site. Anyhow, what u need to find is the manual (maual_eng) located in your folder (P2Kman\docs), open the manual, find the topic (installation>>>if u use MS Windows XP) follow the instructions. TROUBLING YOUR REG EDITOR COULD BE RISKY, so don’t blame the manual if u do nonsense. Follow the instructions carefully and you will succeed Any further help email me ([email protected]) and I’ll send the files for those who have not managed to get it yet (IF SO)

  • Hi there, if you need the drivers or software for this phone please write me and i can email. mmpt_1.23_en.exe, psk_driver 2.3 and mobilephonetools 2.21B (upgrade for the mmpt_1.23_en.exe file) This is everything you need! total is 40 megs for all for of this..

  • I just got a few faceplates for my phone and I am wondering how to put on the U shaped cover.

  • I have had mine for about three months now . Useing Cingular. I dont like the phone, its programming and the fact Motorola wants 30 bucks for drivers and software to connect it to my PC. You can not lock out the keyboard - big problem with a small child around!. If you are not careful you accidentally open the brower and Cingular Jambs you fee $$. THere is no way to lock it out??? I want my Nokia back!!!

  • okay- i need helP! can you get the pictures from the phone onto the computer? if so, how? anyone!! HELP ME:)

  • Not a bad phone but it is a git to get the wap and mms to work

  • Ol� Kevin! I think that that is really a problem, but of luck. I have mine already to some time and I never had problems... a friend mine badly he bought one v600 and he had some problems; I, while I had one v600, never had. This type of things happens... my v220 is perfect!

  • BAD PHONE! DON'T BUY!! I had this phone for less than a week before the plastic face was scratched (it scratches very easily), and as far as cameras go, its one of the worst. Even the guy in the cingular store told me he wouldn't recommend this phone to anyone, As i was RETURNING it, for the second time. The ringtones and mix features are nice, and its very simple to use, but the screen is small, and the speaker phone tends to buzz. It has some nice features that are fun to play with, and allows you to personalize it which I like. Overall however, I've been through more problems with this phone than my old Nokia 3560. Not worth it.

  • It is an excellent telephone, I bought last month. I had one v600, but I was stolen in the bus... :((( But I am very satisfied, who speaks that the telephone is bad is lying. You can trust! :P

  • The shape of the phone are strange and it look not so beautiful.If the phone got bluetooth or the shape not like this mayb many people want to buy.

  • I have had this phone for less than a month. Last night on a daytrip the battery died for the first time. Now I cannot get the phone back on. I have it fully recharged and now I am wondering if I even know how to turn it on! I have tried every button I can think of... :o( Any suggestions???

  • i cell phones 'n the v220 is probably the most inexpensive, least complicated camera phone out there for ppl that want to upgrade from a older about 1-2 yrs old phne. however i guarantee its price to drop dramatically within a year. people that want to change the faceplates. just be advised that the golden rule is, if you CANT take the faceplate off on your own, without removing screws or glue, then its not meant to be taken off. actually the only flip phones that you're allowed to change the faceplates on are the moto t720's. all other phones on the market now, if you change the faceplate you VOID your manufacturer's warranty. if you buy a phone, be advised that there IS a 30 minute OR 30 day exchange period. WHATEVER comes FIRST!!! that varies from store to store. the reason is just because nobody would want a phone that has been used for lets say 100 minutes. one would rather just get a brand new one, and its very hard selling them then. any questions about this phone feel free to email me.

  • My frined gt this phone, says it has tiny screen, is she jus bein fussy or is it a prob plz help

  • I install everything all the software and works . Ican download pic and ringtones and I have win xp but when i select apply as ringtone in my cell and somebody call me i can hear nothing somebody know why??? help.....

  • i got a new moto V220 faceplate and i could put on the back but i dont know how to take off of the front and i dont want to break it. can i please have directions :) kierlee819 IM

  • can u send me im setup , instant messages pls thx

  • i bout my motorola v220 fone a couple of days ago and the camera worked fine, but now when i try to take a photo the screen goes black and then goes back to the wallpaper. can any one help please?!?

  • i have the drivers for the motorola v220 if you would like a copy email me and i will supply you a copy for �2 which will cover the cost of a disc and postage,,,,,

  • I got my v220 for about 5 months now, and i think its great. It's small, light, and it's cute! However, a few disappointments are the camera sucks compare to my brother's v300; the screen freezes when I read my SMS msges; it viberates out of no where; and there're no other faceplate that I can replace the original one with.

  • can someone please tell me how to get the rogers sign off?!?!

  • I need the USB software to download the pictures. I live in El Salvador and here no one sell that software. Where can I get it?

  • I just bought the V220 and I think it's a great phone, especially for those who don't need too much extra features. Compared to my E398, it's much faster. I prefer smsing with the V220 to the E398 because there isn't any lag-time at all for V220. It's fast! And, it's cheap. It ain't exactly the most tech savvy phone on the market. But then again, it's a phone, not a camera. Or a mp3 player. So I lurve it for a simple phone. Worth your bucks.

  • the v220 is an ok phone. its ok because its good for not so tech saavy people, the v600 and v551 would be over these people's heads, so the v220 is there for people that just want a camera phone, people that might have formerly been using a nokia 3390 or something very low end and crappy.oh yah and to dan taylor, bitter man that posted something on 11.4.04, that 30 minutes of use crap, who did you hear that from? I work with phone and with us it doesn't matter how much airtime you have on it, as long as you are within your 30 day exchange period, and the phone itself has a one year MANUFACTURER'S warranty, not 30 day... please don't confuse warranty with exchange period. THANKS!go moto!

  • I've had my V220 for 2 months now and its a pretty good phone. The only downside to it is the camera is horrible, compared to my moms V400. I like the smallness of this phone. The only problem I have had with mine is the center keypad is loose. Has anyone else had this problem? It's still under warranty, so I think I'm going to send it in.

  • I like the phone but would like to have a driver on my pc so i can dl ringtones. I have a usb cable, but no driver.

  • phone is cool but camera does not work after a month. i want to know if any body share tha same problem

  • i ordered a usb cable and cd for my moto v220 from some idiot on the internet and i can't get anything to work. can anyone tell me where the software is for it and please it needs to be free. this ebay dude won't respond to my concerns.THANX

  • I Read everyone's notes, and I am still having trouble. I downloaded the P2K from that Spanish site, and it does not recognize my phone. I got my mini USB cable from my digital camera. Can someone please tell me what I am doing wrong. HELP!

  • I have the Motorola v220, and I need the USB software. Doesn anyone know where I can get it at? Help!

  • I've had my phone for a while and it's still working just like it's brand new. As for the picture id calling, just read it in the little book that came with your phone, and it will show you how to set it all up.

  • this fone is sexy

  • I've had my V220 for 2 months and just recently my screen has been blank or has lines going across it, and the time on the front has been blank, too, or upside down and back to front! Has anyone else had this problem? Apart from these 2 things, I love this phone!

  • Your MP3 rintones should automatically go to your sound folder. Go to that and then press the top center button on your mp3 file and select apply as ringtone.

  • i have a question about my v220. my camera has stop working on it and i would like to know if anyone knows how to get ie back working properly please give me some advice on how to do it .

  • I really need to know the 4-digit code for this phone if ne one knows it please email me thank you

  • Hi everyone! need some help, how can I set my ringtone to MP3 that I downloaded from my PC. ASAP. Thanks! Nice Job Motorola!!! Great Phone and Rich Features!!

  • The Motorola v220 combines sleek elegance with technology and performance.Features include camera, web browser, speakerphone and much more. For a low price, this phone offers all you could possibly want. Kudos to Motorola.

  • The phone has great signal & looks nice but you can't use the aim services on the phone or the internet because foor some reason it denies the request.

  • im looking for the camera softwere if any body can help

  • well i just wanted to say that the phone is great for free but the dam speaker phone part sucks as far as finding the correct drivers for this thats also a joke . the phone works well and it was free so or so they say nothing is free...so all my friends that helped get me reelected thanks your buddy g.b.

  • after 1 week of having this phone i am going to eat the price,take a hammer to the phone and send it back to motorola with my what they can do with there phone and with there company, DON'T BUT THIS PHONE !!!!!!!!!

  • Seems like simply a defective Unit.Exchange for another? I have not have had any of the same issues with mine anyhow. Menus are responsive. I have had the phone for about a month now, and I'm taking it back today. After owning the phone for about a week, certain menus wouldn't respond. (You would push 'select' and it was like you pushed 'end'.) Yesterday, my phone stopped ringing all together. It would Vibrate on the correct settings, but would not ring. (I checked call forwarding and other possibilities.) Very frustrating...I expected better from Motorola.

  • i just got the v220 and v300 because the v600 was out of stock. Having both phones for 2 weeks so far, I find the v220 is designed better (newer I guess), smaller (lighter) and has a better speaker phone (more bass for music). The keypad also looks better with the blue lights around the menue key. Even though the V300 is more bulky and harder to read the outside disply (dark/blue), I prefer it because the screen is so much bigger and more clear. 5mb of memory too. Those are the only difference.

  • urgh this is an ugly phone

  • i just ordered my v220 i was reading that it has photo caller id can someone please email me and tell how to set that up? thanks

  • I was going to buy the V300 but they didn�t ahve it in store, now I chose this one, I have to decide it by tomorrow! a lot of people is telling so many horrible things about this phone... :(((((( don�t you think the screen is too small, or is that only my impression on the internet pictures?

  • Just got the phone. It will serve our needs with the nice features thrown in as a bonus. Call quality and sound has been good. Not using the camera at all. Negative so far is that the speakerphone produces a buzzing sound that annoys everyone. Checking with Motorola on this.

  • Alas, I too want to be able to download PICs from my V220 directly to my PC using the mini-USB connection, but the manual makes no mention of the USB port or of directly downloading the PICs; sounds like a conspiracy to increase cellular usage to me!

  • I have found a solution and Have a Working driver, And i can Connect my Laptop and dial up as a modem, load ringtones, Pics ETC no Problem! Been Happy with it Ever Since! And even Posted how and where to find it in a Post not far below where to get it but i guess not many bother to read the Recent posts below? yes this was a problem for me but figured it out already and it's Great! Den

  • It seems no one can find drivers/or software to download pics! I'm very disappointed with this product, especially for the money. I would like to return it or trade it in for something else. Good luck to anyone else out there having problems with this phone.

  • i have the usb cable for motorola v220 can you get me the software download free thanks.

  • After reading some of the critical reviews of this phone here and in magazines after I had bought it online I was dreading getting the phone as I have very big hands. Instead of that I am very happy with my new funky phone. The picture quality isn't great but is good enough for a phone for that price! I read in a magazine that is very small and not suitable for people with big hands. Well I have never met anyone with bigger hands than me and I think this phone suits me better than any other phone i've had as the buttons are fairly wide apart. It was also a nice suprise to find out that Motorola's now have predictive text! The phone has got a nice sleek look.. Abit plastic/cheap alright but you get what you pay for. The phone has all the functions you could ask for and its easy to use. One very satisfied Irish customer here! My next phone will also be Motorola!

  • WARNING! DO NOT BUY THIS PHONE! Your Motorola phone is defective. The screen will go dead within the first 1 - 6 months, and you will be stuck with it. Motorola phones with display are absolutely garbage, and the record speaks for itself. Check it out on Google. Search for "Motorola screen problems" and you will be overwhelmed with hits. My own V220 expired in 22 days. The manufacturer has a 30 day warranty. But guess what? You didn't read the fine print. 'OR 30 MINUTES'. That's right. If you use your phone for more than 30 minutes, you are going to own this dead phone. So if you turned this piece of garbage and tested it for more than 30 minutes, this same defective product will not be replaced. NEVER BUY MOTOROLA! NEVER!

  • Hey LePire, Your Very Welcome! Thanks but I'm not really a genius just been Researching through many different forums with frustration of coarse until I've found a site that worked and just redirected the info here : ) I'm Glad to have helped.. Hey Elliot, I know what you mean with the short ring time However I don't think it's any model phone Specific that causes this, It's the Carrier that sets this that When someone calls that the Voicemail picks up automatically after a certain amount of time. I know there isn't any way to set this within the phone or any phone. You may try to call your Customer Service and see if they can modify your ring time? It's worth a try, Best regards, Dennis

  • Has anyone found the time of ringing to be ridiculously short on the V220? It rings for about 11-12 seconds and then hangs up. That is often not enough time to pick it up. Does anyone know of a way to make it ring longer? Thanks, Elliot

  • Yes! Thanks DEN, I have just seen my phone files on the PC. With a USB cable from an other camera, the spanish site (http://motorolac.wz.cz/?str=download) you send me to, and the file P2K_driver_2.3 that I used to direct the installation program to all the drivers I needed in that file. I can say after 10 days searching... now it works... you are genious :) You can e-mail me, thanks again :)

  • WoW... Den, I will go and see that spanish site for the program PK2MAN. Been looking for a while and did not find anithing yet. I'll be back telling you if it works :)

  • I've had this Phone for a few weeks and been hearing various complaints about the Software for the USB connection and USB Cover doesn't stay in well Etc THE USB Rubber Plug doesn't just push in with your thumb that easily but if you Push it in Firmly with your thumb nail in the center it will Securely push in and Seal it well and it hasn't come loose at all and seals out dirt very well considering it's not being used but once in a while to upload pics ETC But you just have to try to understand the right way to do it and it's fine.. It is very light and Very Small with So far great battery life and reception. I've also been reading on software for the USB. I have used a standard Digital camera USB cable that comes with many types of digital cameras you would have to check the plug to see if it fits the plug on the phone otherwise have to buy on E-bay ETC.. I have found that the Motorola Phone tools not available except for a crazy price not worth it for a driver but the "P2Kman" software Did the trick and is free just you have to mess with it to figure it out and took me a few tries but I was able to Upload my PICS and load Ringtones no problem but not many Other features but does the job. I have downloaded it from some Spanish site you just download PK2MAN here: The ringtone sound quality so far is very impressive by far to many phones i have tried, It seems to have a type of Bass Shaker within the phone that you can feel the ringtones as it vibrates the phone as it plays Really Cool! love it you can feel the phone even if you can't hear it!! The Screen isn't as bad as I been hearing yea the color isn't as good as many phones but you can tweak the contrast and it's decent otherwise, However it could have been a little bigger though.. Camera what do you expect VGA? Well, not the best then again it's a Phone and a Plus to have it in the first place the PICS are small but do the trick. The speaker phone sometimes creates a slight Buzz within it's self with interference, not bad really otherwise very Clear and a great feature! My One and only Main Complaint is that you can't Display the Date Next to the time on Inside or outside LCD you can navigate to the calendar to see it but not any other settings to do this? I sure hope that Motorola at lease will have a Firmware update released for this to fix it? Even if I have to open the phone to View the date it would be a huge improvement! Overall this is an Awesome Entry level camera phone that you have to get used to before you review and then it may be a little different story. Den

  • After a while havin' the Motorola's V220 have found that it actually is a good phone. I used to be owner of most of the Nokias that came with Cingular, but it seems that the quality of them(Nokia) are not the same as with Motorola's Brand Cell Phones. Even the V220 its small but it pack a strong signal all around even inside the old building that I work even going up or down the elevators it has a strong and clear signal. But theres always a but: Cingular or any other independent supplyer of parts and accesories doesn't have much to offer for the v220. And its almost imposible to find the Software that may recognice the v220 on WinXP.

  • does anyone know if this phone has voice record feature? it's a feature that i can record a short voice memo? also is there notes (similar to outlook's notes) and if so, can mobile phone tools sync notes? thanks in advance!

  • I managed to get all the software from the website given and update it and everything but it just doesnt recognise the phone. Its obviously not compatible yet. I wouldnt bother postin askin about it no more people lol just post if u know when the software is gonna be available. I think u can buy the software im not sure but its over priced. As for the ringtones i have managed to download to mp3 type tones but they are short and bit a crap but then it is a cheap phone. I am used to the phone now and its much easier to use. The cam aint that bad but the thing that annoys me the most is that i miss calls alot coz i can rarely here it goin off in my pocket unless im in a quiet place.

  • i like the v220 , but like everyone else need software and cables,or else features are just a show off.Overall i give 3.5 out of 5

  • i thinkin of gettin the motorola V220 for crimbo is dis a gd choice thanx xx

  • hi, i like motorolav220 and i will like to have my personal own u see in nigeria here the phone is very common and i like it.

  • My phone is great, it does everything I want it to do except display the date. Can anyone tell me how to make the date display on my internal and external screens?

  • Now I know that I need 3 things: mpt 1.23c_en , P2K somethying & the upgrade of 1.23 to 2.21b Thats all verry nice but I can't find a place that lets me download them

  • does this phone have fm radio

  • use the users manual that should help

  • I just got the phone yesterday and I can't figure out how to change the ringtone .Does anyone know how to change or get to the ringtones?

  • You can always e-mail yourself the pictures... with the cellular... thats at charges for shure... and also why they are not in a hurry to get the program out... I am still looking for a program that can do the job :(

  • Well, I guess I'm sort of glad to see that I'm not alone here. Just tried to get the pics off the phone. I was hoping the manual (which I never read) would help, but the word "software" is not even in the book! 90 days is a long time to wait. Why does it take pics if you can't download them????

  • Hi! I Love the phone (got it for 12 hours), but... where is the cable and the pc program... can't find nowhere to download it from.. I got the cable from an other camera... Ah! Motorola

  • i live in Pakistan and i have a motorola v220 but it is lock i want to open its lock please give me its software i will be thank u very much.

  • If anyone find a driver for this phone, please let's me know thank you

  • Just got the phone yesterday and am still having problems figuring out the menus. There are so many sub-menus and the like that is is tough to remember where I saw where to change my ringtones! Also, the manual is totally useless. It is really hard to find where anything is because nothing is where it should be. So it is learn as you go with this phone. I do love the camera though and I like that I can make my pics wallpaper or screensaver. The battery is terrible. My phone goes dead very easily then it takes hours to charge it up again.

  • love the phone, ok pics arent brill quality but your not paying much for all it offers ......... however after buyig the cable and software !! i still cant get the damned thing to work, installed the phonetool, updated it, tried the links on here now getting very frustrated, Anyone offer any new links??

  • need drivers for v220

  • Motorola does it again. Puts a product on the market before support items are available. No software available for the PC to Phone upload/ download! I like the product but find it a liability if you have an extensive phone directory list. If the phone goes up so does my directory list. No back-up capability. Can't save my directory to my PC, can't do direct picture downloads to the PC, can't get PC download ring tones, etc. No wonder Motorola is in a failure mode since late nineties. Overall all I do like the product, but late to market and no support after it gets there detracts from its usability. Is this just another ploy to sell the product to create a demand for the software and accessories and then charge exorbitant prices when and if they do make it to market? Do they delay the availability so the users are forced into using the airwaves for up/ downloads to further profit the phone companies? I found the received speaker audio acceptable unlike a previous poster. The party on the other end said it had a hollow sound like most all other speaker phones. Recommendation. If you need a phone now, look carefully at the competition to see if they have the aftermarket support products you want/ need before you buy the phone. If so you may want to consider buying the competition. Or, you can wait on Motorola to back its product after you make the purchase, of course that is up to you. Nobody at the AT&T store was sure when the aftermarket products will be available, except to say �Soon�. When asked �How soon, a blank expression came over their faces. �Soon�, yea right!

  • dnt buy it the camera looks like a sort of zit or something coz of the silver shiny bit around it! the screen quality is the pits and it keeps on freezing (t-mobile in the uk)

  • Phone sucks hard to use no software for picutes. about equal to a cheap bottom of the line phone.

  • i just got my v220 and i noticed there was a usb port in it. so i was messing around and found i have a usb cord that fits perfectly and i tried to install the phone to my computer but it says i need the software. does anybody know where i can get the software????

  • danke!

  • the motorola v220 i believe it has a very poor capacity when it comes to camera and the speaker sounds so-awful it doesn't have enough capacity to sounds like a music

  • by the way.. once you have the mobile phone tools .. you can forget about all the money-hungry ring tone suppliers.. you can simply upload midi files (free online) or other music files as you wish..

  • looking for updates to V220 mobile phone tools?.... this is where i found them "ftp://ftp2.bvrp.com/motorola/".. but you need to install the original version as per "JTang".. then you can update the new one.. and then .. all is set to go...or you can try "http://www.vphonecases.com/downloads.html" .. i hope this helps....

  • THE place for hard to find accessories for this new model is on Ebay. I've had mine 1 week & love it so far,still having problem getting my old number ported,though.

  • can n e 1 tel me where i can get a driver that will work on a mac as i love the phone but can not use the usb port as i cant find a driver that will work on a mac PLEASE HELP

  • There's a good article on the Motorola V220 at

  • This phone is non-comprehensible, and truly a piece of shit. It will not send messages, it barely answers calls (you have about 2 seconds to pick it up), and has no support from any company!!! My Nokia 6340 always has a better signal and lasts a month longer on a single battery charge. GSM has no superiority here.

  • is this a tri band or a quadri band?Does this phone have internal memory for SMS?

  • Just got off the phone with Motorola sales and they told me that I cannot buy the drivers for downloading pic to PC for another 90 days. So don't think anyone will have it. At least I like the phone...

  • This phone is far from easy to use. Ive tried to get onto the internet but it never works? i want to be able to put MP3 sounds from my computer onto it but theres no software. I have the drivers from the usb but no software so nothing happens. And there is nothing anywhere advising u about all this. The advise line probably costs �20 a minute. Anyone got more knowledge about this?

  • I recently bought the v220 since I used to have the Nokia 3595 that had a lot of problems with it starting that even on a one year guarantee Cingular doesn�t have any technician to fix them and so they try to charge their clients $50 for a refurbished one in exchange of the same model. Even when they are, the cell phone is still on the year guarantee. Some my teacher coworkers have Motorola�s to and since 2 of them have the v220 and work so fine that decided to try them and so far it has been the best choice for me. My only problem is since this cell phone is new for Cingular on Puerto Rico they hardly have accessories for this model and one thing is sure that they don�t carry the Win XP program to download the pictures from the Cell Phone to the PC, I manage to find a USB cable from an old Digital Camera that fit the slot of the phone and the PC tries to read from the phone but since I don�t have the software its impossible to download the pictures. Any idea where this software could be found, try on Motclub.com but I were unable to dowload any software. Do someone know where to find this software.

  • omg i love this phone so much i can't wait to get it.does it have unlimited nights & weekend minutes and free long distance & roaming.i would pleasee like to know and someplace i can get it for not that much......please i really want this phone so please send me any information about this phone........thanks so much please write back!!

  • they need to make covers and cases for this phone!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Does anyone know how to change the "ROGERS" in the display window? I want it personalized.

  • Can anyone please advise if it is possible to set up this phone to receive delivery reports when sending SMS messages. The phone in question is on Orange PAYG (UK) Thanks. Great Web site

  • You need to download Motorola Mobile PhoneTools, which is basically the software for all your pictures, downloads, etc. Motorola wants a lot of money for it, but I found a link that works. It has the drivers if you need them too, as well as the program. Go to It's actually a Spanish site but this is the english translation. On the left hand side go to Programs, and click on Motorola Mobile phone tools, and then scroll to the bottom. you have to install 1.26 first, then it will have an update function. Dont' worry if your phone isn't listed when you first install the 1.26 version. it's an old version, but it will allow you to go to the update part of the main menu. then from there you can either check your phone from a list, or type in the model yourself. You probably have to type in v220, but it will still work correctly. Hope that helps all of you that are in search of the software. Cheers, JTang

  • i`ve just got a v220 but can`t find a driver anywhere on the net,any ideas!

  • I just ordered 2 of these phones and got them for free due to the $100.00 rebates on each phone. I also received UPS 2nd day for free from they also sell the usb cable for $24 which was on sale 20% off = 5.00 off

  • thanks jess. it does help a bit after changing the exposure to +2. and if you choose the lighting condition instead of using auto, it actually comes out better. :)

  • I just got it and so far so good! Anyone know how to make it ring for a longer period of time? Also, are there any other directions on the web or something?...cuz the ones they give you are pretty useless

  • I just got this phone friday and i absolutely love it

  • i just can help looking at it,it's simply enchanting.

  • it is simply irresistable,portable and good.

  • for those looking for the usb driver... the motclub link works. you can't use the phone by itself, you'll need the Mobile Phone Tools software that motorola's selling. actually, you need both the driver and the software to make it work.

  • >>>>>>>>no software, no cable, please people don't buy this stupid cellphone v220, do i have to make myself more clear??????????

  • its a cool piece small and quite handy. with its cristal clear display and better picture quality it has really mad this phone quite popular. i would certanly reccomend for this phone

  • good

  • this phone is FAB compared to the heap of junk sony ericsson i had but thats another story. the reson that pictures are'nt as sharp is because you need to go in to multimedia-pictures-press the middle top button pictures setup go to exposure and gset it to +2 it sorts it out and its much clearer! hope this helps send a message if it does

  • looks nice but for me it is one from the many worst mobile phone which I have used in the past. Design is good but display is bad

  • My picture is somewhat clear, but the image is not as sharp as the v300.

  • Picked up this phone last Sat. Cingular contract..... Still playing with it... Pro's: size and speaker phone feature... Con's: Motorola wants 30 bucks for USB driver download. photo quality (screen) is not as good as the phone I got my wife... still haven't been able to view pic's on computer to see how they come out.... Last note: I was dissapointed that (with Cingular)... the 'send photo to email' feature is "not supported on this phone"...... (quote from cingular tech support).....

  • the camera on this phone is way worse than the v300. it's comes out somewhat blurry and the color is not sharp enough too. Kinda hard to take some good pics with this phone. Therefore, if one of the reason you are getting this phone is because of the camera, i would recommend you to think of some other phones than this

  • I too need the motorola v220 drivers Please help

  • yes motorola deos sell a kit.....and here at radio shack they want 80$ for it

  • A great looking phone. But the Instruction Manual doesn't teach U anything. What good of having a USB port, if U don't have anything to go with it. No software, no cable. Does Motorola sell them as accessories?

  • the site that everybody is suggesting for the usb driver download does not work can someone tell me a site that does work.

  • I got V220 for myself and LG1200 camera phone for my wife. The resolution is sharper on the LG1200 than the V220. Am I doing something wrong?

  • EXCELLENT QUALITY.... i really like the size and shape of it.. but only with 2 mb of memory.. and motorola should let me delete the defual picture and stuff 2 save memory.. it would be better if it has IF or blue tooth.. but the data link cable is better than older motorola models.. u just need a 5-pin usb cable. instead of a motorola only cable.. really cool it is rock solid.. and i mean i threw it right into the wall... the wall break and the phone is still working.

  • first time I saw this phone on this website, I fell in love with it. it's very stylish and unique.I would love to own one.how much would it cost me in dollars?

  • I've just got one. It's great, but guess what - no driver for the usb port! Any suggestions?

  • Fantastic phone! just bought mine sim free and took sim out of old phone and put it in v220, Great looking phone, very stylish indeed! As fro the call quality: excellent! Received audio is impressive. The ring tones are absolutley brillaint and are the loudest that i've ever heard! The phone can be bought sim free from lots of uk shops. I got mine from Carphone Warehouse for �179.99. It comes complete with the box, charger, battery and instructions. Thew only letdowns in the whole package is the fact that the instructions manual is very hard to follow and the PC software and usb lead are not included! Black marks for those two Motorola!!!!!!! Three java gsames are included including hungry fish, pot it out and a game called photo fun! The phone has a colour screen inside the clam and has a thin small screen on the outside of the clam that displays signal strength and the time. it also shows you the number of the person who's calling you! When the phone is opened out, the display on the outside displays the Motorola name and insignia. The phone has a built in camera withh a x4 zoom! Threre is also a facility for mixing your own ring tones just like a modern dee-jay! The phone has a video downloading and viewing ability. The phone is currently available on contract only in the uk on Orange and O2. However, when bought sim free, a pay as you talk sim can be used. The phone is tri-band so it can be used almost anywhere in the world and will work in the U .S.A. Looks.................... 10/10 Ringtones................ 10/10 Tx....................... 10/10 Rx....................... 10/10 Menu..................... 08/10 Build Quality............ 10/10 Instructions manual.......01/10 Summary: A sylish, well built phone, with useful extra's that fits nicely in the pocket or handbag. Dear Motorola please ditch the awful instructions manual!!!!!!!
