Motorola V50 - User Reviews

  • If they could bring this back but with some essential upgrades I'd be made up: Decent camera (min. 8mpx) MicroSD slot (for music & camera) Slightly taller colour screen (not touch) 4g data (at least) for apps / internet Perhaps a slightly deeper body for longer life battery I truly miss this phone but couldn't live with the above basics!

  • I owned one and bought a NOS (NewOldStock) in 2010. Guys, it's awesome !

  • I owned one and bought a NOS (NewOldStock) in 2010. Guys, it's awesome !

  • my phone stile live this a litte uk tank :D

  • Try restarting your phone, and if that doesn't work,. try pressing the key with the letter you want a few times. If you can, check nothinjg in the phone's settings has been changed

  • After about 12 years of no use what so ever i just pluged in the chager and its still works!!

  • Hello I had this mobile phone. Entire class was envy on me, because I had something nice, sofisticated with style. This was 2001 year when I got this mobile phone. My father took Samsung A 100 for himself and he bought this one for me. I was in high school. One year after, he had problems, went on service examination and they said: water inside, not sure how this went in, maybe sweat, heat, temperature change. Thank you daddy for making me proud on that spring or summer day in June 2001.:) Today I have Samsung Galaxy S3, thank you again daddy for buying me another nice mobile engine.:) But Motorola V50 will stay in my nice memory, I saw this phone in several movies, I think Ocean 11 I think.

  • Curious!! Happend the same to me!!! xDDD and it kept working even with more than half of the screen in black! ;)) It worth it the (40.000 escudos-Portugal Currency = 200� actual currency) in that time :D

  • i had the Motorola v50 for 1 year it works grate once i dropped it on the rode and a car ran it over the screen broke but the phone kept on going it worked perfectly but you cant see what your doing

  • I've been using V50 for 9 years! Many times dropped accidentally on concrete floor, many times used it in the rain, many times sat on it. Not a single break, not a single software hang-up (I mean when software stops working because of flaws in itself). Very durable phone! Though one drawback is that when the antenna is touched during conversation or turned various ways, connection may drop sometimes.

  • I needed one of these for my BMW. The dealers couldn't help. I tried a standard V50 phone and it made my car battery go flat. The proper BMW version phones don't flatten the battery. I got mine from bmwcarphone.com and the phone was new, cheap, and quickly delivered. Much better than a flat battery or three penalty points..!

  • Hi, can't find a manual to dowload for my V50 - so, problem is - the keypad only does numbers so I can't send messages - I'm sure I'm missing something really obvious but can anyone help me? Thanks in advance Brendan

  • Does it connect to the adapter and sits fine in the cradle? could you send me a pic pls to [email protected]

  • I need user manual instruction for Motorola V50 please

  • phone is very fine.But can't add ring tones

  • Hi. I just got my V.50 - Free on contract so I didn't complain too much. Very nice phone [not a V3690 that some guys push as v.50s] - I previously owned a 3330 and it was real crap. Battery life on my V.50 is fine [make plenty and receive plenty of calls] and charge it every 2 or so days. You do have to be careful with it, but it looks stylish [certainly better than most nokia or siemens phones] and gets the job of occasional SMSing and regular phoning done very well. PS: You don't buy a phone like this for games - you buy it because it looks good and you want a PHONE as in COMMUNICATIONS TOOL not a Gameboy! if u want games and go get a Nokia - doesn't matter which one - they're all virtually the same.

  • i was wondering if it came in black or another of the same kind in black. i wanted to buy it to use for the alltel system but they told me that i had to ask if came with the software for alltel or if i can get it put in.

  • Hello Duniya(World), V50 is a really cute phone,but the menu is too hard to handle.How many menus? so please don't buy this phone.Also the battery life is very poor. If you are planning to buy cellphone,Please buy Nokia!!!!! Kind Regards, Rajesh

  • I would like to download the V50�s manual but I do not get it. You could send to me (V50�s Manual) This address is not available now! Thank so much.

  • cool phone, its a bit flimsy and fragile and i had problems with the light flickering, but hey i am a bit heavy handed with phones. battery is ok and its got quite a lot of functionality for a phone of its age. the wap is lame but u can record conversations in calls which can be cool. the menu system lags a bit, sometimes freezing slightly. a great looking phone though. 7/10.

  • I want to know how to browse from my v50 handset?

  • Btw: Great phone. Good looking, a lot of options for a phone of that age. Sometimes a bit slow and the ringtones suck. An 9 for Motorola. I took it and I don't regret.

  • how to download ringtones. Go to a site with motorola ringtones, vb: www.v100uk.com. Copy them into a free sms site and send the ringtone/sms to your phone. It will say; receive music ringtone. You are able to listen to it or to store it into your phone.

  • pls let me know how do i download ring tones ?

  • its an nice phone

  • Regarding Motorola V50: why I must answer manually during the call, if I use hands-free????

  • very good mobile the best one i used thanks

  • i got one for sale for �95

  • Hello to whom it may concerv, my only view is to keep the cutomer loyal & offer more offers free one s every once in a while ! ur ringtones u offer should be free to all true owners of motorola V50s, this will attracted customers & keep the people who bought ur product on the belief it has more to offer to really have more faith in thier phone, thus making the owner proud to own a motorola V50! thank you laurence

  • just look at the button shape... big square blocks.. and the phone response is slow. a shitty little phone that doesnt even have WAP, Vibrator and Internet and a colour screeny.. myself has a T68 which i constantly cum over becoz its just that good

  • Nobody has a better interface than the Nokia boys but with this phone, Motorola have made a decent attempt at a their own singular style.

  • My sibling blocked my phone by typing in the wrong PIN 3 times, how can i unblock it?

  • v50 crazy man, mad little bitch. best fone ever. nokia boring man too many people got it, anyway got a link for tones for motorla. not as good as , but does the job, ... later!

  • I have owned several motorola phones, my previous was a V3688 on Orange which i paid �300 for. Since then i have had 1 8210 and 1 8890 Nokia and must say that i thought the software was far superior to Motorola. I now have a V50, which was free with a new contract. The V series has changed- now only by colour but the software is far improved. I have only had trouble with the phone once, it was when i first got it and the dealer had not set the WAP up for me. I never use the WAP but its a new feature. I only chose the V50 for its size, i can live with the software and have managed to find a web site that will send you free ringtones to your V50 as well as a New service provider logo. WEll done Motorola, another 5 years and you may be up there with Nokia!!!!

  • motorola has forgotten to make this phone more user friendly than its predecessors, in other words, it looks nice but that's all....

  • Dis phone is heavy

  • fucking ruff

  • exelent.......

  • i'm a big motorola fan and i'm thinking of geting this phone on contract but please could someone answer these question s for me 1)what games it has 2)does it have a rintone composer 3)is the voice memo good and how long does it record for. 4)what colours does it come in ? if any one can these questions i will be very greatfull :)

  • what games does it have?

  • Very small, handy but also not very user friendly. It has too many items on its menu. Eg., You cannot turn off the dictionary on its sms texting. It want automatically activate the handsfree facility. etc. overall out of 10 / 3 would suit this piece of machanism and that is for the apperience.

  • its an excellent sexy fone awesome features.......

  • wow !!, what can you say about this little baby... One of the most sexy phones on the planet, full of cool gizmo's would have liked to see the inclusion of IR but hey nothings perfect. Go on you know you want to stand out from the nokia hugging small minds... I dont know anyone who hasn't got one of these phones who doesn't think they wipe the floor with the competition.

  • its the bollocks!
