Motorola V501 - User Reviews

  • I bought this phone in Hong Kong 2 years ago and put a T-Mobile SIM card in it. Not all of the functions (i.e. web browsing) work with T-Mobile but its a great phone. Good price, quad band with a camera. They make it in China.

  • I dislike this phone...

  • good phone.just get it.but i have to learn more because it has many function,

  • answering some of ur questions: 1. yes u can transfer mp3's and pictures using the bluetooth link 2. to delete a picture, go in the menu, the go to multimedia, then pictures, then press the menu button again to see the delete option, the rest is easy. 3. activate the voice dialing by going in the menu, then setting, then headset and turn it on.

  • could someone tell me if i could get this phone at t-mobile, cingular or AT&T please because i want it badly!!! or any other store in the philadelphia region or new york please!!!

  • I don't get the delivery reports of my SMS which i sent,, where is the option to enable it??? I can store just 30 sms, is this the maximum limit??

  • plz reply to my question. how do yu delete a pic after yu hav stored it into ur phone? help me.

  • I used and tested this phone for about a year and here are my opinions Cons: The top front of the phone is easy to be scatched, camera aint that good as i expected, sound connection aint that loud as i expected and lock application feature doesnt work as well and battery runs out about 3-4 days/12hrs Pros: The buttons are easy to use and comfortable, speaker phone is loud and clear, ringtones are loud, usb is included and easy to use, screen is clear and bright, blue tooth is convienient and the style is sharp. . more reviews coming.

  • For some reason this seems to be the only color I can find online for this phone, however, mine's black and pink! My question is, is there anyway to turn the speakerphone on BEFORE I make a call? And not have to wait until the call connects?

  • Can anyone tell me how to activate voice dialing so that I can make calls using my bluetooth headset?

  • hi just got a V501 unlocked for uk sim but cant open media or browser any ideas???????

  • just got this phone today, i recommend it

  • Im gonna try and get this phone in hongKong...but i was wondering if u could get it in hong kong but then use it in the UK???

  • this phone look teh ugly thing

  • Hey, can i use v501's bluetooth to transfer pictures or ringtones with other models phones ?!?!?!

  • any 1,here from malaysia? i 1na know how much does it cost here in malaysia.........like da design...........orang3 mu@ fav color!........pls help me to check it........pls & tq...

  • i want to know which phone is better. The motorola v501 or the motorola v551. the seem the same to me. Plus does the package come with the bluetooth headset. E-mail me back at [email protected]

  • The V501 is pretty neat. Has got good photos options. Only draw backs are the battery (max 3 days). And also the top part of the front of phone will get stratches from the bottom part of the phone. On the whole, 9.0 out of 10.

  • wowww is my favorite always and when i was 20 years old i liked taht so much(i mean all the phone)

  • Rugged and...orange.. I like it!

  • yes it has a speakerphone and you can send videos to the phone via the data cable. i found the SKN6311 works well.

  • The phone has speakerphone,it has everything the V600 has with style and lightness it is a very good phone.

  • Brilliant Display !! Better than Samsung Colors

  • can you download videos onto this phone like they claim it can?

  • it should have speaker phone and it would be perfect

  • Hi...just bought the v501..everything in it is just great except that i can't seem to send any photos or MMS files out!! Can anyone help me???

  • can i buy this phone in the uk?????

  • does it have speaker phone?

  • It is a very good phone with the mp3 ringtone and blue tooth plus you can lock every single function. It is the best phone for ppl which have many gfs =) The only bad thing is the key pad is too flat.

  • a great phone! =) i bought it a month ago, white and orange, and its been great ever since. esp considering they threw in a bluetooth headset. heh. well, i've yet to run into any problems; but one guy has reported the finish chipping a bit. and the usb cable should be included in the box, it's std equipment for it. anyhow, the same cable as the rest of the Vxxx series should work fine. according to a currency converter, it should cost 190.771 GBP? i believe most, like mine, were bought on trips in asia. you can, however, probably find a seller nearby, but the phone will likely be priced quite a bit higher and without the special offers like a headset.

  • hey how much does this phone cost in pounds?????? where can i get one ???

  • I liked the color, because it catchs the attention, doesn't it? Congratulations for Moto!

  • like v500

  • I bought a v501 recently and it's a great phone, however I can't find which data cable is appropriate for this phone. It would be much appreciated if this information could be emailed to me.

  • i have only just brought my own motorola V501 and so far they are a fantastic phone one of the best i have ever had if ur looking too buy a motorola i would advise go 4 a motorola V501

  • I got this phone when it first came out and it cost around 2680$ HK. The style of the phone is perfect except the colour of the keypad (purple). I really like the mon becuz its very colorful and big. The ringtone could be compared with the Moto E398 becuz they are almost the same. Its very light and it could download pictures, screensavers and poly ringtones. Blue tooth for this cell phone is also a great idea.. good job motorola. The onli disadvantage is the colour of the phone. the colour doesnt really match together (white, orange, black) it could of be better if it is (white,blue,black)
