Motorola V525 - User Reviews

  • Is that Vodafone?

  • My very first phone I got in 2003. It was about £150-200. I adored this phone very much as it was way ahead of it's time. However, it would be very redundant nowadays but there are good memories. I had the most expensive phone in school. Good times!

  • This phone is very owesom and this was my first phone i like it

  • this is quite a good phone the motorola v525 has ring tones like the motorola v220 but the screen is bigger real good phone

  • it's very nice phone. it was one of of the first phones which had mp3 player, athough it's memory was quite small

  • Where can I get a cable to download pictures to my computer from my Motorola V525. My e-mail address is [email protected]. Thank you.

  • les caract�ristiques sont fausses, il y a bien la fonction cam�ra et le t�l�phone est 3G.... Un super appareil (en son temps)...

  • Pls I'm using Motorola V525m and I want to Know some of the secrets in the fone.If anyone can send me any,my e-mail address is [email protected]. Thank u all

  • You can take videos with a v525, you just have to have the software flashed as a v600 i believe and it gives you video capability. Not video calling unfortuneately and the quality isn't very good.

  • no u cant.

  • i just want to know if i can make videos with my motorola v525.if yes how thanks

  • I love the phone more than my wife. Its the best guys...

  • its one of the best phone that motorola manufactured ever and i wont change it for anything less.

  • I have it since Dec2005. Was extremely happy with it. Since 6 months battery charge lasts no longer than 12hrs and the screen just goes black blank sometimes. I am going to change it. Will not suggest it to anyone buying a mob right now but "in those days" it was good. Few memory too by the way.

  • I've had my motorola V525 for two years now and all of a sudden my battery is dying within 24hrs and freezing while in the middle of writing SMS messages. my phone sometimes does not even recognise the battery or sim card when phone is turned on. my mum brought her phone last year and is having similar troubles.

  • last week I destroyed my v525. reason: battery won't recharge

  • i love my mobile (motorola V525) but the bluetooth almost never work..yesterday i used bluetooth very well but today it doesn't work what's happening?

  • i have had this fone for 2 or 3 years now. it has caused me no trouble at all. i remember went it 1st came out, it was the highest spec around. if this had more memory it wud be great :)

  • i have been using this phone for the past two weeks.but the problem is that the battery life is too low,it does not even last five hour.

  • I have had this phone for a while but I'm getting a new one but I want all the pictures I have on the v525 on the new one. All of my pictures are on the actual phone's memory, so does anyone know how I can put all of my pictures onto the SIM card? ps the SIM is an o2 and I can't really connect it to the laptop because I haven't installed the cable PLEASE help I'm so sick of just looking around on random sites that just try to sell me things

PLEASE! NEED HELP BADLY!

  • ive used many phones of motorols,i liked this one,it has all the easy to use features and the look.however, the memory for messages is quite small and of course if you remove your sim card all teh messages are erased! it has been quite problematic for me including the 5MB memory where i cannot have mroe than two mp3 songs in full.i do hope to get the L7 hopefully with mroe memory for everything.

  • I've had this phone phone little a year and it freezes and goes to a blank white screen which makes it so i have to take the battery out and put back in, in order to do anything on it and i bought the mobil phone toolkit so i can put my pictures on computer to have them developed my last picture of my dead brother and still don't know how to do it the pictures won't even show up on the computer.

  • i fink itz rubbish cz lyk i cnt even recieve bluetooth or send it !!!!!!!!!! help!

  • joshua7, I am exactly in the same position as you are! :)

  • I have been having this phone for 2 years now. I still like it very much, still its successor, the v3x, is in the centre of my attention.

  • to Ola, plug the handsfree on the top of the phone, left side (antena is on the right). You can see small hole like for headphone, plug it there and everything should be OK.

  • the moto v525 is a cool fon. i don't like motorola's a lot but bcos of this one i may try another. OB

  • i need help!!! just got this new moto v525. and im having hard time fixing this phone...hey the handsfree kit is inside the box but i cannot find where to plug it in the phone itself... would somebody help me direct where to plug it pls... ty

  • if u look for a phone that looks nice not caring about performance then buy this phone.........it,s interesting in the first weeks of use..never rely on its memory, it deleted by itself my favorite categeory of pics...

  • this fones rele gd! i av had it 4 about 18 monthes even tho the battery is gettin weaker its still gd but how do i get mp3s onto it?? I DIDNT EVEN REALISE I CUD GET MP3 ON IT?!! HELP!

  • This is possibly the worst phone I have ever used. When heavily used it makes it nearly impossible to deal with it's extremely slow performance. Construction is poor, however the screen is excellent.

  • Is it true that you cannot take video recordings with this phone? and that you can only recieve them? Thanks

  • i nearly forgot this. it is almost impossible to charge this phone after 12 months cuz then u get alot of cannot charge errors and it shuts down and starts up. its quite a hassle to recharge it!

  • I have it. it was scratched after a week. never happend to any other phone of mine :S the memory is weird cuz i first had 5mb but now i have 3mb. i think one of my mp3 files is gone missing in it.. i cant recover it though and now im stuck with only having the abillity to put 1 song on it :( the camera isn't that good and the 4 way menu is now always on it's desktop :S and that is pretty annoying too. if you think of buying this phone, then think again cuz it aint good

  • i have had this phone just over a year. at 1st i thought it was gr8 but now i have found lots of faults. it freezes regularly, takes ages to hang up, only stores about 90 texts in total, bluetooth doesnt really work and it scratched about a week after i got it! i don't recommend buying this particular phone but i have nothing against other motorolas.

  • it is not a very good mob because it hasnt got good memory, it doesnt look good and it is very flimsy. if you are thinking of buying it think twice.

  • Your phones sound liquid damaged, or you just don't know how to use it. This is the same as any other Triplets phone bar the software

  • hello i hav had this phone for 10 months and gave it away because it frozz up and randomly turned itself off when i did'nt want it to. and also after i bought it three weeks later i had to take it back to get fixed because the camera would say technicle ploblem try later and vodafone live turned the phone off. it randomly deleted the phone off and called people. dont buy this it is a piece of !@#$%^*&^*&%^&#%^@#%. buy a sharp GX25 they are the best phone fon it has a video camera, 252,000 colour screen takes clearer pitures and does not do the above problems so GO SHARP GX25!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • ive had this fone for bout a year now & i must say it's the most dumbest fone ive ever had. It doesn't charge properly, it'l tak for ever to charge, it frezzers on you wen your doing sumthing on it. it changes it's ringtones, turns itself on & off. The battery life will only last for bout two days witout using it. All in all its a peice of crap & i will never own a motorola ever again. Waste of cash. GO NOKIA!!!!

  • ive had this fone for bout a year and its the dumbest fone ive ever had. it wont charge propely the battery life last for bout two days without any use of it. it changes its ringtones by itself, it frezzers up wen u use it, it'l turn itself on and off. never gonna have a fone like this ever.GO NOKIA!!!!!

  • had this fone for a year now and i think its got one of the best cameras going for a 640x480, easy to use, even tho not figured bluetooth out properly for fone to fone downloads, but with a dongle its great. wud recommend it deffo id give it 8/10

  • i've had the motorola v525 for over 18 months it is a brilliant phone the only problem wih it is that wen u talk to someone u cant hear them very well (but mines fallen down many marbel stairs and been in the shower) it is the best phone i've had and very gd memory i've got over 500 pics!! i love the phone!!! and u can take it in the shower and the keys are all water proof so its gr8 and never miss a phone call

  • Great and handsome mobile phoone-related to it's price ...

  • Is there any difference between the V600 and V525, because i saw this phone on sale at Vodafone(australia)for AUD$250 In october last year!!!!!!! The V600 was also on sale but was selling for $650. I was looking through this site and found nodifferences between the phones and ABSOLUTELY NO difference worth $400.

  • Don't listen to simon who ever he is, i had that phone for more then a year an it has been brill!!!

  • hi all!!! a tiny question, i have a problem with the ringing tones when an incoming call is taking place. The vibration seems to be working fine but, nooo ring tone... the video sound is ok such as the ringtones of the menu (i tested htme to see if there is any problem with the speeker but its ok). Do u happen to know the problem or even the solution to it? i'd appreciated if someone could answer me back!!! thanx in andvance guys!!! jimmy from Greece.

  • hello edd ur phone iz cool m8. by tha way ello!!!!!

  • I have had this phone for nearly a year and have to say it is a piece of garbage. People may rave about it but they are generally people who have only just bought it. See what happens after a few weeks/months, the camera starts capturing fuzzy pictures, the battery runs itself down and the menus slow down as the memory fills up. In its favour its fairly durable as I have chucked it on the floor/down the stairs in a rage frequently in the last few months due to its crapness.

  • good phone. it can play video, but some changes have to be made.

  • just got this fone it has mp3 player but onli 4 sort songs can you get full songs on this fone?

  • it dosnt show any video

  • hi.. plz I wanted to know which kind of videos this mobile show??!!!

  • Hello.Can anybody send me the software for the Motorola V525.Please.Mail me, please

  • I just wanted to know if the mobile connected with no problems with any PC has bluetooth dongle..??is its connection ok or what????

  • hi i really want one of these phones lookin everywhere for ne but i only just had the VK530

  • i have a motorola v525 for sale....only �80 and in gr8 condition....only had it for 3 months! :D

  • OH MY GOD........this fone is the most fantastic peice of technology on the planet so wot if there is no vidio recording its all round brilliant crystal clear pics and is so simple to use anyone thinking of getting one go 4 it u wont b dissapointed !

  • A very nice phone. all options that i need. nice price. COOL Camera, and software. but beware, its veeeeeeeeery fragile.

  • it`s a good phone but the v80 it`s even better and if u realy want a PHONE you should buy the all new Nokia 6230i or 7610!these are the best there is!i`m very serious.

  • Can anyone please email me the software for this phone? I badly need it for i don't have the cd installer with me. and can anyone guide me on how to make the bluetooth always discoverable?

  • Unfortunatly, the V525 cannot record videos. I was going to buy on but i decided to buy the V220. The screen stopped working on that so i took it back for a refund. I then brought a second hand V80. The only major difference with the V525 and the V80 is the design. They both use the same interface, and both have the same functions, alothough the V80 is understandably upgraded, therefore better. I reccomend anyone looking to buy a V525 saves their money and buys a V80 instead.

  • does this fone have the abillity to record videos and can you lower the price because my mum and dad wont let me get it and i really wont this fone as pay as you go please

  • hi i really wanted to know if u cauld send and recieve videos on this fone not record videos! just recieve and esnd any1 help!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • is this phone good? i'm kinda thinking of getting it... either v500, v525 or v303. can anyone give me thier opinion?? thx~*

  • Good

  • Hello people, i wonder how will you get it's bluetooth to be enabled always? Because i can't seem to find the option of it other than discoverable by 60 seconds only. another thing is how come it's voice volume sometimes is loud and sometimes hard to hear? Is there a problem with the earpiece? Please help, thanks in advance.

  • Can Anyone Tell Me About How To Get Loud Speaker On My Mobile Phone When I Record Music Email Me Plzzzzzzz

  • ..so after all this talk i understand that you can not send photos from youre phone to youre PC via bluetooth?? If this is possible i'd like to know.And another thing....isn't there any software to install on my PC?...Nokia has like Oxigen...or something like this...

  • Okay, first i'd like to say, i just got my motorola, and, i couldn't be happier with it, TONS of great features, easy design, nice quick menus, CRYSTAL clear camera with great zoom, mine plays, records videos (V550), bluetooth is great, games are great, Mp3 ringtones sound amazing, don't listen to all the other fools, this phone is great and always will be, BUY ONE!

  • kool phone, however they ringtones are too quiet, i never hear it ringing and i still dont know how to get mp3s on it! if anyone could help me i'd greatly appreciate it. :o)

  • The email feature on the V525 does not work! There is no support, do not buy it if you want to email...

  • oh i found da voice record button m thick!hahahahah

  • hm...got this a yr ago...n cnt believ ppl r stil hyped up abt it...wel its cheap n got the features i gotta agree..(which is y i bought it myself) BUT i think this wil b my first n last motorola...first, menus r jst too slow. im sure evn the moto devouts wud agree on that. i jst cudnt get used to the speed after my old samsung S500...second, its big, heavy, cheap plastic looking (it IS plastic)...otherwise its a usable one..with ave cam (definately not a gd one), 5mb of mem, bluetooth n decent screen. i reckon moto is for mid-range users not for high end technogeeks. no offense:)

  • PLZ TELL me if u no wot the voice record button is and how long you can keep it on for

  • Hi , Please somebody out there teach me how can I use my phone to play the MP3. And can the song be use as ringtones.Just couldn't figure out how.

  • In total i have owned 14 mobile phones, this is by FAR the WORST phone i have ever owned. Turns off on its own - battery lasts less than 24 hrs - texting is poor compared to predictive - regularly locks you out(have to turn off to regain control) - we have 7 of these phones in our company and all have same faults. Motorola's response - we have not heard of any common problems sir - hahaha

  • Just got a new V525 but it is failing to receive addresses and photos sent from other phones and palms via bluetooth. Is there anything special that needs to be set-up?

  • oh, and to send files to a phone with bluetooth (did this for two v525s) select "find me" on one, go to the picture you want to transfer and press menu on it. Go down to "copy" and press the right soft key. Power on bluetooth. Now select "look for devices". It'll find the other phone and bob's your uncle!

  • There is no way to record a ringtone easily. The best way is to record it into your computer, jack the volume way up, convert it to an mp3 (low quality), upload it to a webpage and download it via wap. Use windows recorder to record the sound (along with a microphone), and use dbpoweramp to convert it to a mp3. Then get a website (like geocities or something), upload it and enter the url including your "filename.mp3" into vodafone live. And are you sure you "need" to be able to do this?

  • plz if anyones reading thoe oppinions i really need to know how to record a ringtone plz i need help big time

  • You can save a message to drafts by acting as if you're going to send it. Select a person to text to and go all the way to the final screen where you press "send" and press menu instead. The option to save to drafts is there. I bluetoothed with my friend's sony-ericson over the week. I had to select "find me" under settings/connection/bluetooth link/setup/ and he found me. Our password thingies were both 0000 and we were linked. I could send him photos by pressing menu on a photo and selecting copy, but any photos he sent me were corrupted. It wasn't possible to send ringtones, unless I'm completely wrong. Once you've connected with another phone once you can do it anytime as long as bluetooth is switched on on both of them. The phone cost me 109 euro on billphone upgrade. I'd say it's at least that in sterling for pay-as-you-go. The manual sucks. Someone posted a link below for a PDF manual, but it was too big for me to download or something. And I'm fairly sure you can't use sound recordings as ringtones - but that would have been cool. BUM

  • Ok phone. But can anybody give me a download link for software so that I can upload my pictures to pc via bluetooth connection. Thanks

  • How do u get a list of all phones near you that have bluetooth on? I can only seem to recieve data but not send it?

  • What is DTMF? How do I change the contrast? How do I turn on/off the Auto Redial options. These are not accessable according to my user manual. Where Can I get a more upto date detail user manual to download. Appreciate your response Richard

  • I'll upload the software within the next month, if I can. I'll keep you all posted.

  • Verry good phone....excelent display,verry good photo camera,good sound...go motto go!!

  • ohh i wasnt telling him 2 grow up it was the other guy i was just telling him 2 not talk to me like shit

  • lol, I just thought I'd point out the irony that you're telling him to grow up while also calling him 'gay'. That's real mature.

  • yer tom dont talk to me like shit i agree with u tom gayman grow up

  • good

  • The v525 is the worst phone i have ever had im now on my 3rd one and they have all been sent back due to software problems ie freezing jamming up so i am reverting back to nokia

  • Tom gaman you talk to people like shit why dont you do yourself and everyone else who uses this site a favour and get rid of your internet connection. Stop abusing people on the internet. Anyone can abuse people from behind their PC. If i was to see you in person you would keep your fucking mouth shut believe me. So dont abuse me on the internet.

  • this fone takes less than five hours i ave one and it takes about 4 on a full charge

  • I never measured the time but it's never bothered me. Leave it overnight, charge it when it's near empty - it's a NI-MH battery.

  • can someone tell me if this phone is supposed to take 5 hours to charge

  • Here is a link to the manual

  • Can somebody please help me with this. MP3 Ringtones - How do i get them? thanks

  • Nyks1 to usea the speaker phone its easy, just press the side button on the right side and you'll si a speaker buttom appear (do this while you are talking in the phone)

  • OK FOR ALL PEOPLE THE NEED TO KNOW HOW TO USE ''BLUETOOTH'' GO TO MENU/SETTINGS/CONNECTIONS/BLUETOOTH/SETUP/POWER ON....(REMEMBER IF YOU HAVE A BLUETOOTH PHONE NEXT TO YOU TURN IT ON TOO, AND THEN TRY ''FIND ME''...simple as that...i have exchanged all my ringtones and pics from my T610 to my V525 via blutooth, any person that needs the cons and pros of T610 email me, i have them both but now im using the V525... OK now my question is, where can i find a sofware or PC program to send info to the cell from the PC, i have the USB cable, but it doesnt do anything without a program,anyone know where to download one... i know sony-ericsson has one.

  • Two questions for anyone: 1) How do I extend the length of the ringer before it cuts off and tells me that I missed the call? and 2) How do I operate the speaker phone?

  • tico, get the t610. the only annoying thing about it is that the ringtones get louder and louder when it's ringing. That would annoy me TOO MUCH so i didn't get it, but it's a more stable phone. and why do you people bother downloading ringtones and wallpapers? what a crock! and what a waste of money!

  • kerry bluetooth is like infra red you can exchange anything between phones or pc (if you have cable) but better coz you don't have to be near the other device (it's range is about 10m) and all the phones see each other without any prblems its great

  • Hi i just bought this phone and its amazing!!!! i had the T610 and the camara quality was bad, but this one is awsome!, the only thing is that its kind of heavy and chunky.....im using it now with T-mobile(U.S) does anyone knows how to reprogram or setup the T-ZONES page(sames as VODAFONE LIVE!, but only that this belongs to T-mobile)so when i go to ''more ringtones'' it takes me directly to T-zones download page...anyone knows????

  • is anybody knows from where can i get the mobile phone tools for this phone for free i mean somewhere i can download it..thanks

  • Manual is crap...utterly useless, so am no nearer to know how the bloody thing works. Messages get stuck sometimes and just have to switch the damn thing off. Sometimes the phone just switches itself off. All of a sudden, it has taken upon itself to set up delivery reports on each message without me requesting it. Hate it. Cant wait to get rid of it. I suppose, the only good thing about it is cause its a flip phone, the buttons dont get all pressed when in your pocket.

  • Jason, just send the picture as an MMS to an e-mail address. It'll say "send in message" and you just select that, then type in an e-mail address instead of a phone number.

  • Press the right soft key while on the phone to someone for speakerphone. it doesn't work until they've answered. I'm not sure how sensitive the microphone is, but I do know you can close the cover while on speakerphone and it doesn't end the call. (You have to open it and press the red button to end the call, or turn off speakerphone and close it again). "what file types can it support? and can any one tell me sites on wap for free wallpapers? " I don't know. Pictures don't seem to be compatible when sent to nokia phones, at least not the 3510i. Wallpapers suck - take a picture and make your own personalised wallpaper. don't waste money. Mp3 ringtone working nicely thanks to that person who put up the instructions and webpage below! Hope it didn't cost too much...how many euros is it per kilobyte of wap?

  • Got it together with vodafone. L O V E the phone, hate the mods that vodafone made. Forced to save sms on the sim instead of the fone, all thanks to Vodafone. Maybe anyone knows if the V600 upgrade takes care of this problem?

  • How do I get the speakerphone to work ? Thanks.

  • sorry jason i don't know that lol

  • Hello... can anybody tell me what to buy, plese! v501, v525, v600 or v878? thanxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx!!

  • i like it. looks sweet to be honest although i cant get the mms working, anyone know where you have to enter the settings and also anyone know where i can download the software to d/l pics to my phone from my comp and vise versa?

  • hello please help me i want data cable for motorola v 525 iran tehran

  • delivery replorts are possible. just select report "yes" or something when you're choosing who to send it to. Once you buy a USB cable is it simply a case of installing the software from the CD that came with it and putting mp3 ringtones onit? And how can I get games without having to pay €5 to vodafone? messaging is hard, but you can get used to it. the only thing that annoys me is having to delete an entire word if you want to change it (predictive) after typing it. maybe there's a really handy way of texting I'm missing. Oh, and the instruction manual you get with it SUCKS!!!! really badly!

  • i flashed it with v600 flex latest stable..and it works perfectly....but phonebook is crap and I need delivery for sms...any ideas anybody where to find this flex??

  • sik fone

  • a very good phone,only thing that lowers my grade (9/10) is the very low batter life,usually 3 days,but my problems were solved with the right software.contact me for more information about flashing- flexing-upgerading.greetings!

  • Re: my previous letta Plz consida the brand and quality, if u got one and has lastd for a while, ur lucky! Overall, top notch phone

  • is it better than SE t610?

  • I've had this fone for about hmmmm....3 months... Pretty satisfied with it. Its overall a top fone with a tip top price. The best feature of the v525 is that it helps pick up chics. trust me

  • I have been using one of these since December 2003. I am very happy with it although there are no custom 'drivers' to make it talk to a Palm Tungsten2 via blue tooth. Also, if you want to take better pics than the default MMS setting, you can increase the setting to high res.

  • hi i liked the phone but there is soom thing in it i did not love that it is not reading or righting arabic sms and the data book is verey good averey name in it can not be sabiraetly from other names and y can not dial only the primary numbare

  • i got the telephone three days ago and i fell in'love with it. The best thing in it is the screen, it's better than i ever dreamed. the camera is very good if you know how to set it up(very important).Works very good but has a little latency.another excelent point is the fact that you can listen mp3 ringtones (and the quality of the sound is incredible). I recomended it to everyone.

  • actually, there is little or no lag moving the camera around. you'd be surprised what you can get away with. works well indoors and outdoors. the "pink" effect in the sky occurs in any digital camera - you can adjust it to sunlight instead of automatic. vodafone logo is scratchable off the front cover with a 2 cent coin with no scratches (unless you go crazy). the inside one is peelable off without any stickyness left. screen is huge and very clear, but greases up easily.

  • plz, u r all fightn ova a stupid device dat is meangless 2 us, ok my opinion on dis fone...... Da good ting bout dis fone is dat the camera capture is so crystal clear, itz so clear it will make u wet, da look is very sexy, and it is small, 2 put it on ur palm comfy, or put it where it fits, and of course da reception is clear, bcause of da expose antenna, and da screen is even clear, and bigga dan da Nokia N gage, and it is a clam shell style fone, and also pretty rare since itz only selln n Vodafone, and private sellaz. Now da bad ting is dat, it is made from China, it is heavy, 4 a small fone, and motorolla is not a fave crowd plesa, and it has Vodfone marks so visible, and it lagz hard when u move da camera around.

  • Actually, i want to admit that i am a very very big fan of MOTOROLLA products, besides i respect too much the effort you all make to develop your products. Although i like the model "V525" too much because for your information that i am still having the "STAR TAC A130 " with the "V525". Tank you so much for your time & effort. Best Regards. Ahmed Taleb.

  • hi my opinion to this set is good

  • I just got this a couple of weeks ago. It's okay. the only poblem I've noticed is sometimes when a message comes in and the box is approaching fullness (or even sometimes if it's not) and you press "inbox" it launches you back out into the startup screen. turning off and on the phone loses the message... Otherwise it's brilliant, predictive text is really innovative - the entire design etc is intelligent. there's just a few bugs - but don't get bothered by them. there's always OS upgrades! Maybe you can get those by connecting it to your PC? I still haven't gotten a USB cable yet. Nokia is better in a lot of other ways - but nokia's lack of arial to keep the waves at least an inch away from your body scares me.

  • Which is better this one or the nokia 6220?

  • why is it that i cant find this model in any ov the stores yet? its crazy and im in love with this phone. the motorola v400 is totally similar but an UGLY face palet.. AH!!

  • I think that V525 is the best phone on the market at the moment.I have this phone from 4 months and it work incredible ...i don't have any problem whit him...of corse is not perfect but is dam good...never block...and NEVER SWITCH OFF....i don't unstand why some pleople make such noise for nothing....what is the best tft screen 65K or the display of nokia who is csnt with 4.065...colors? or what is the best the vga rezolution whit 640*480 or 328*238 at nokia an se t610...i don'belive that some people are such stupid...and don't see the diference...and the memory is verry good (5MB) the nokia and se phones have ~ 2MB I thin that for moment the moto V525 is simply state of the art is not PERFECT but is VERRY GOOD...

  • JimmmiJ... are u a retard? if ur luck is that cool and u got ur phone at the service more than 3 times and still wasn't fixed that doesn't mean all the damn motorola phones are BAD, if the phone is a garbage as u say, than throw it to the garbage and BUY a new one! maybe u will be more lucky as I AM! .. if this phone would be that bad, belive me motorola would get the phones off from the market. Have a nice day, but ur complaints are groundless!!

  • im gettin dis fone soon hopefuly its decent it better be im bettin my t610 on it even tho motorola is gud nokia make da best fones so y da hel dnt dey mkae lfip fones or decent lukin ones not ones wid bits of carpet on it n e way i hope its gud

  • Again which is best moto 525 or nokia 6220?

  • Sms jams sometimes and battery life is appalling compared to my previous phone (Nokia 6610) which I miss. But excellent memory for phone numbers. Half happy

  • U are all crazy!!! I think this phone is a piece of shit! Trust me, I had it!

  • this phone is junk should never have been released with so many glitches and bugs its been repaired by motorola 3 times and always comes back exactly the same not charging, switching itself off, blue line across the screen on the camera, not switching on, battery running out over night with the phone switched off and the battery low tone even sounding while SWITCHED OFF, retrieve a number from the phonebook press the call button and the phone switches off and on top of all this the Motorola customer services are useless and dont care this is my first and last Motorola it is now an expensive paper weight and im using my old reliable Nokia 7210 oh and the phones only 4 months old MOTOROLA IS SHITE

  • dis fone is a disgrace and should b ripd off da market, it is untrustable, bcause itz made n china no offence boyz and girlz.

  • i am interested in purchasing your Motorola V525 i will like to know your best offer for three and the condition i do reside in usa i want to know may be you do shipp to uk do well to mail me back now so that i can forward my credit card information to you if you do not shipp to uk please do not charge my credit card get back to me3 now, thanks lisa

  • Does anyone knows a site where i can update my software? My phone turn off if i don't work with it.

  • Ok ive just got this phone and i am not lying to you guys it is really good. Ok the camera is gr8 i mean this ive jus had the sagem my x6 which supposed 2 hav a better cam well the cam for the v525 is alot more detailed i love it and the zoom doesnt decrease much quality like the sagem my x 6. The screen is beautiful the colours are really vibe and great and the menu is the only thing i think could have been a bit better (im on vodafone) but this doesnt really matter. People say that its really hard to find your way around the menu well ive had the phone for 4 hours now and im already doing lots with it, also the buttons arent bak 2 front well not compared to the sagem my x 6 and even if it is come on people u want a new fone and u complain the buttons ent the same :S confuses me. The games r rely cool and the fone is actually a gd size and doesnt weigh to much. Over all this fone is rely cool and i wud advise sumbody who wants the latest mobile which is pretty gd value and fun 2 use 2 get this. O and the reception and call quality is superb :)

  • Want to remove the ugly red logo from your V525? I can tell you how to do very easily with no special tools. Will leave you phone's lid perfectly smooth with no scratches. Contact me, service will cost UK�2.00 by Paypal. (same a ringtone!) adjust email address to contact me - as its spamproofed. Contact me after >29th June as Im on holiday. No townies or losers please.

  • it rulzzzzzzzz !!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Yo, wat is the feature, "USB Port?" So overall, all u guys r sayn dis fone is really dat crap?!?!! Tinkn of purchasn it dats y! Help Me! Plz

  • Werewolf, are u kidding me with that question? try compare the phone and u will see only 2 big differences about them ... i will tell u just some of them. 1: 5mb memory - SE t610 has only 2 2: camera.. the v525 makes super pictures in comparizon with SE 3: numbers in phone twice as SE 4: voice memo/dial The single thing that SE has and v525 don't is only infrared port. Now u can take a conclusion... ! :)

  • Which is better this phone or SE T610 ?

  • Yes I totally agree with you Troy, I have a V525 for business use and an E700 for personal use. I need V525 for business so I can link it up to my laptop with bluetooth, I agree that it is very poorly disigned physically esdpecially with the camera lens. I like my E700 more because it is a lot easier to use and a way better design physically.

  • Phone has good features but not quite so user friendly, Samsung E700 has less features but is more user friendly and physical design is a lot better. One really poor physical design problem about this phone is the Camera lens, it does not have any glass cover in fron of it so when this has been in your pocket for even just a couple hours the lens becomes full of dust which is very annoying if you need to take a quick snap-shot....it is also quite hard to get all the dust out of it. Samsung E700 camera lens has been designed much better where even one stroke of the lens with your finger will get every bit of dust off. Motorola has to improve on physical design and user interface.

  • scott .. if your phone is not good that doesn't mean all the motorola v525 phones are not good.. try make an oppinion about your phone only.. what happend with your phone is only bad luck. my phone works good, and one more time, if u want to buy this phone, YOU (all who read this) must learn to use it, not blame the Motorola Corp. for not working something or having few problems u don't know how to solve them! Have a nice day.

  • v525 is the worst phone i have ever had the menu is slow the cancel button takes ages to work in all its a peice of shit

  • Oh, by the way, I forgot to mention that on both the 2 phone i have had, the quality of the microphone is really poor - whether i speak directly into it, or some distance, people say it is weak. The earphone hoever is good quality and i can hear all others well. Again, it seems to point to Motorola cutting on quality...or their Chinese manufacturing plant is doing that, without Moto being aware that they are being screwed on some component quality. If Motorola want to contact me, i'd be more than happy to liaise further with them to help them to improve quality. In the meantime, after 3+ years i will forget about Moto and go back to Ericsson / Sony.

  • Had a Motorola Timeport for the last 3 years and although the menus were hard to navigate it was a really good business quality phone. Then i recently went for the V525 because it seemed to have the same / better specs, especially including camera - great for taking impromptu pics of the family, friends etc. However.... everybody seems to say the camera is great, well it's pretty crap, and in sunlight it turns everything mauve / pink !!! In subdued light it is OK, indoors, etc. The contacts are not synchronisable with Outlook - so if you are a business user forget the V525, and it comes with no CD software - you have to buy that extra, unlike the Timeport (and sony-ericsson). Very nice quality screen (from Sharp actually !!!) Has bluetooth, but amazingly slow - you have been warned !!! No Infrared transfer. Can access your internat e-mail account via GPRS - excellently useful....but not so cheap to do that regularly. Overall, a hpone with great potential, but cut too many corners on quality and serious features which really let it down if you use ot for work / business/ Otherwise a great phone for kids and students with some really useful add-ons, but not good enough for me unfortunately. So now, because of spme quality problems i am taking back my second 525 to the shop and there is no way i will have them send it off for repair or swap for now the 3rd 525. Will instead try the Sony Z600, albeit with a slightly lower-resolution camera it is more business-user friendly and better overall quality.

  • wot a croc of poo! i've tried 2 different v525's and they both lost the network signals!Hmmm, useful) I,ve gone back to a nokia!

  • I tried the alarm when the phone was turned off and it doesn't work. Bit of a pain. Also noticed that the battery needs charging nearly everyday. Apart from that htough, it's a top phone!!!! I really like it.

  • hi, just wondering if v525's alarm is still working/ activated even when i have switched it off? i find that most of motorola phones don't support this..

  • this fone is great but does any1 know how to store more sms messages

  • Hi folks, i bought the Motorola V500 yesterday, BUT it can only store as many sms as your SIM-card can (20 in my case). That is not funny, it is also a bit heavy ... Mp3 ringtones are great, and the Bluetooth connection works fine too. The screen is great, very nice colors and BIG (176x220 px). But i'm going back to change it for a (non bluetooth, but light and 200-sms-storing)Samsung E600 i guess... :s

  • Hello, As the night sees the day and disappear so shall evil see you and run. As the sun shines brightly so shall you excel in life and as the stars uncountable so shall your blessing be......this is a warm greeting from me filled with happiness and designed with care and glued with prayer to keep you safe now and all the days of you life..... thanks a million for the good job u are going, i hope to hear from u soon, have a nice time with all the best in life.

  • I finally bought this phone last night, even the lady at Vodafone owns one. It has a great mix of features for the price, perfect for any demographic. Camera is excellent quality, ringtones are great. One question, manual said that leaving charger on wouldnt damage the battery, lady at Vodafone said it would??? Could someone please clear this up for me Mark

  • too heavy

  • i wanna shop from your site because i believe your site is the best.

  • this is a disaster, tooo low memory, the melodies are just so horible, the menu isreally sleeping some times,no agenda, i threw away money some times but this is something else. if u had a good ericsson or nokia phone and u want smth dif this isn t the mobile u want!

  • Realy Im in shock. I got this fucking phone and I found that its apx bullshit. Many fucking bugs in folders. GUYS.. IT DOESNT FUCKING WORK??!!! BELEAVE ME

  • Hey I just got my phone from England, and I have to download the software, because it never came with it, but shouldnt sending e-mails still work?

  • To the poor guy who dropped his phone in the sink, i dropped my old Nokia phone in the toilet and it too stopped working, leave it off in a bag of rice for a few days, it will all be soaked out and should work again

  • how can i remove or replace the vodafone live? (from the menu and right soft key of home menu)....any suggestions and tips?

  • This phone is fantastic, the camera quality is suberb and the menus are extemely easy to navigate. None of its competitors: Nokia's 7200/6230, samsung's E700/E710, sony ericssons z600 etc don't even come close. if you want a good quality flip one with a decent camera and bluetooth then this is the phone for you!

  • how can donlod raig tones plz unform me

  • ive had my v525 since december and pleased with it, but texting is awkward and prefer my old Timeport 250 for getting around menus quickly. Yes it can be unlocked, I got my unlocked for �8 from some company in the us, btw the big ugly red Vodafone logo on the lid will come off if you gently rub it with a 2 pence coin, it wont scratch the phone. :o)

  • can someone tell me where can i download FREE ps software for V525 to conect phone with ps with USB.PLEASE!!!

  • CTI in NYC has the best selection of GSM phones. Check them out!!! Best prices too.

  • I just got my v525 and love it so far. I bought it second hand for use in the US. Only thing, the seller on eBay didn't tell me that he somehow managed to delete the games and broke the CDrom that came with it. (he got a negative rating from me) My question is does anyone know how I can get the software to reload on my phone? Motorola's customer service in the US won't help because it is a UK phone...And they wont give me a toll free to call UK for help...Anyway..any input will be appreciated

  • This phone is packed with lots of features but I was dissapointed in it because of its interface. The menu is not very colourful and graphic like the Samsung E700. The menu setup also isnt very nice, the button functions are back to front compared to Sony Ericsson, Samsung & Nokia. This just isnt a very user friendly phone.

  • I'm not a Vodafone user..so i'm asking if i can use this phone with another gsm provider..can i unlock that phone..and if i can...how?? somebody help me please..thanx

  • hi all, iam asking if i can install applications on that phone or no? someone tell me plz

  • Firt off all i will say that i am imprest about this phone...it is amazing...!!First i bought Nokia 6800,very expensive phone and with few feture..than i bought Sony Ericsson Z600...i was soo disapointed about this phone(TFD screen,very bad...poor contrast...and the batery life sucks..!!!),Motorola V525 is the best phone i ever had...the dispaly(TFT) is magnific...the camer is VGA(640*480,4xzoom),very good sounds,nice games,fast gprs(class8..Nokia 6800 class4),good wap(2.0),Java...and the price is 250 euros in europe(i am from Romania),quad band...excelent phone so is u want a fashion phone whit hitech fetures..buy it...u not be dispoiment

  • Hey, Im from the US and I wanted to get this phone under Tmobile. Is this possibly? If it is, can someone either leave a message on the board or email me as to how good it is on the network. Thanks

  • Nice phone, only problem for me compared to my previous Nokia, is that it doesn't hold many sms's and that there is no calender reminders!!!

  • Hi, Mish. Bluetooth is a wireless technology used to transfer data. This phone has no flas an yes it has zoom (3X). Don�t Know about Canada but in Europe it�s around 250 Euros. Take Care

  • hi i was wondering if someone could back re: 1)what is bluetooth? 2)does this phone have flash and zoom? 3)how much would this phone be in HK or Canadian dollars? If you don't mind, pls reply by posting another msg thanks!

  • its a great phone, for the price and I think the resolution is fantastic.. so too is the monopoloy game. the speaker phone is brilliant. This phone is such an upgrade from the 7250 nokia that I lost(no fm radio but who cares) the bluetooth usb port allows another dimension yet to be totally explored by me - the photos look good on the pc too. But if I want fantastic photos with sharp digital effects...I grab my digital camera..Worth its money, no need to waste your hard earned cash on any other phone at this stage...unless you want to wait 6 mths...

  • pc suite motorola v525

  • Hi Dan, to send ringtones and pics u go to the pic u want to send press the upper key (menu) and select copy and track down the other bluetooth unit u want. Keep in mind if it�s to another Motorola it has to have the "find me" option selected for u to track it down. U only have to do this once because after it�s on your bluetooth list u can send directly and the other bluetooth just has to accept the transfer. Take a look at the V600 opinion section, the phones are practically the same... Take care

  • I have had up 2 47 txt in my inbox and out box and can sumone please tell me how bluetooth actually works on this fone.Can you send and recieve logos and ringtones usin bluetooth????

  • To read the message without sending you have to save them using the pricipal menu of the last screening that appears when ou send a message

  • i bought a motorola v525 camera phone recently and i cant read my outbox messages without forwarding them to someone. i want to know how i can read them. i also want to know how many messages the phone will hold in the outbox and inbox. thanks for your help.

  • i was wondering if on the v525 you can get the same menus and functions on v500 and vodaphone live or do vodaphone live replace the oringnal menu and functions? If so is vodaphone live better the the oringnal v500 menu anf functions?

  • to LaPop no the menu on V500 and V525 are different even the icons are different but you can always flash and flex your phone to get the original icon as in V500, but you'll lose all the vodaphone stuff

  • i'm just asking if anybody has a problem in accesing the wap site with this phone??i have this phone since 10 days and i was able 2 access all kind of wap sites like www.tagtagcom and www.hellomoto.com that all beside vodafone live but from 3 days ago i couldn't be able to acess all this site except vodafone live the phones browser always give me this message (data server not availble), and i asked Vodafone custmer service and they told me that this is a global problem there is some conflict with Motrola v525 software and vodafone GPRS wap and they are trying to fix it and it will be ok within one week...i hope if anybody is useing this phone can tell me if he has the same problem or not and if he had it how can i resolve it..thank you

  • Just one question about this phone : is the ringtones really loud? And I think the price is quite low compared to other motorola clamshells phone (V878, V690, V600)

  • Qual o vaor do motorola v525.

  • could you please explain the Quad-Band and in which countries can you use it in.

  • are the icons of the menu in V500 same as those in V525 ?

  • The V525 is better then the GX10i and the camera is sharper also, where as the Sharp GX10i frames. The navigation is fairly easy not too much harder then the Noki�'s, this is my first ventre from Nokia, and I dont mind this phone, is quite good actually.

  • Hei,I am a Nokia and former Ericsson user and I was wondering about the Motorola menu.Is it navigation-friendly as Nokia and SonyEricsson.What about the screen and colours, are they comparable to the Samsung mobile phones.Ringtones...does Motorola still have those annoying ringtones or have they changed? Can you save SMS on the phone memory as you can with Nokia and SonyEricsson phones? Hope of getting some answers from users of the phone!!! = )

  • Can any one tell me exactly how bluetooth works on this phone can you recieve and send ringtones using bluetooth????

  • the gx10i is bigger than my house brik.V525 offers alot more as well

  • im thinking of getting this phone can someone who has the phone please email me & tell me about the good & bad qualities & if u can change the face plates. Also is the camera good ?

  • What would u prefer this phone or sharp gx10i??????

  • does ne1 know how many txt messages this phone can store? 30? i want 2 know b4 i get it.... ne1 help me plz!! thanxs

  • the difference between V500 and V525 is the networks V500 is on Orange and V525 offers Vodafone Live which has gr8 menus and gr8 downloads.

  • I purchased on of these phones on Vodafone Live Australia. Best phone I have ever owned. Easy to navigate menus, great ring tones, fun games and the ability to download more and more. Could have done with a slightly larger memory, but I still love it. The camera takes excellent photos and I love having the 4 time digital zoom and delay timer. The inbuilt handsfree speaker phone is heaps better than the nokias and it works even when you have the phone closed. How good is that?? Don't waste time on anything else.

  • first of all what is Vodafone life? do you need a special sim card for that? does de phone work with a mobistar simcard? ( belgium ) And what's the difference bewteen the v500 and the v525? This question is asked many times, but nobody has answered it :( the most important question is that one about vodaphone, please answer it ;)

  • About reliability - I dropped this phone in the sink for just a few seconds and the inner display stopped working. Eerything else is OK. Have in mind - it's not waterproof!

  • Lol This tell. Rocks! !!!!! NOKIA SUCKS 4 LIFE!!!!

  • Just got a new phone the V525 does anyone know hot to set the delivery reports to on or even if it supports delivery reports.... Thanks :)

  • does anybody owning a motorola v525 had the problem of its screen going off?what can i do?

  • Ok i have this phone the picture quality is OK but sometimes it does seem poor and isnt very good in the light. If you want a camera phone buy the E700 or if you have the dosh the sharpgx20 Does any1 know how to put pictures onto the pc USB?? i know there is a bluetooth usb add on but are there any other cost free ways.

  • does ne1 know how many txt messages this phone can store? 30? i want 2 know b4 i get it.... ne1 help me plz!! thanxs

  • in reply to the 'whats the difference between the v500 and the v525' post - basically nothing, the only difference between the 2 is the V525 is vodafone's version of it, ie vodafone live in the menu systems. Otherwise they are identical. Hope this helps

  • I bought mine in Florence Italy and it came with 2 MP3 ringers. Doesn't matter though, I bluetooth over many others.

  • it sez that it has 3 mp3 ringtones i think,which 1's r actually the mp3 tones

  • The phone has 21 tone polyfonics that really don't sound that great BUT it does allow you to upload MP3's onto it and use them as Ringers - They sound great! It can be used as a mp3 player too but It only has 5 MB of memory so it is pretty worthless.

  • i'm intersted to buy this phone, so if anybody used this fone before can tell me if this one has a message report as it is in Nokia and siemens and other phones, i mean after sending a message the phone show you automaticly if the message recived by the other persone or not...is anybody can give me an answer please??thanks

  • got a v525 yesterday - traded from a T610. Motorola has better camera, screen & reception although the menu takes a bit of getting used to. Does anyone know how to display only one list of contacts? I've copied from my SIM to my phone and now it is listing everything twice!

  • it has many!!! omigod!! polyphonic! grrrrreat!!buy now love you long time!!!!

  • how many polyphonic tones has it got?? does the battery holds long??about the screen apearance?

  • Got this fone yesterday and its GR8 all the features are the best and the camera is cool as well.Was waiting 4 the V500 but got sik of waiting and bort this now i dont know y i was waiting for the V500 cos the V525 is way better.

  • i own this phone and i'm pretty pleased for my first colour screen phone. The cam is good, not as good as 6600 or gx20 but better than t610 or gx10/i. recently got a bluetooth dongle and have been making mp3 tones usin a mp3 cutter, very cool! My only beef was the lack of text storage space.

  • this fone is wicked, 150 on vodafone pas as u go, the games r wicked! camera excellent. the tft screen is beta than the stn on the se t610, trust me i just had it. this phone is wicked.

  • Batt life is so poor?!? Where they get those "up to 200h"?!? And is it possible 30 messages in 5MB?!? I wrote only 15 and afraid you're right....

  • Is this fone considered to be a girlie fone or is the front actually blue or is it like the dummy where it is blue/purple.

  • hey all, i have ordered V525 like two weeks back n i think its gonna comeup by tommorow. been thru all the reviews but personally i think its the best phone eva. dont u all think 5mb of memory is enough.n for guyz who say that a certain feature dozent work with em than plz get real. may be its the fault with ur network. try shakin their ass for it. any one being indecisive: take my advice buy this baby b4 they run out of em.

  • how much does the batery holds

  • Is the picture quality good on this fone

  • I buy it!!!!!!!!

  • The SMS memory is about 30, I dont have a problem with the battery as I charge the phone every nite. The menu at times can be slugish. but overall it is a cool phone.

  • heya ppl can sum1 plz plz tel me how many msgs the v525 holds in its inbox?? n wats the difference between the v525 n the v500 thnx a million cos im getin one of them on wednesday... c u xo

  • Ok. This is a bit atrocious frankly. The phone is pretty. Take 4 photos, play 3 rounds of stunt driver & the battery will Not make 24 hours. It barely makes 18. The camera quality is atrocious. I don't even think its shooting 640 480, i think its blowing up a lower res version. The aliasing on the edges is mindbendingly bad. Also the interface for viewing the pictures is very poorly implemented: no full screen mode, painfully slow panning. It claims to have voice recoed capabilities but allows for only One 60 sec. voice record. thats it. Menu's are sluggish to react, as is the text entry system. For fifty euro as an upgrade its hard to complain, but having come from the cheerfully bulky 7650, this thing reeks. Series 60 is a rolls compared to this.

  • hi please tell me what r mp3 ring tones as in motorola they said they offer mp3 ring tones like in v500 v525 etc i wana know the difference b/w mp3 player and mp3 rin tones thankx alot God bless u

  • Love the phone. Only fault for me is the amount of SMS memory, not big enough. Apart from that the phone is great!!

  • i love it

  • im getin da motorola V525 suwn!! n wud like 2 no if its a gud fone n worth its money??

  • great phone

  • Great phone! I bought a pyg on Voda a little more than a month ago and had it unlocked. Works incredible. The picture quality should be better. I just bought a V400 for my father. The V400 has no bluetooth(possibly because mine was a pre-release). I am having trouble getting the V525 to sync with my bluetooth headset. The headset is about a year old, but has never been used. It is a Motorola headset too. I don't think I should be having problems. Can anyone give me any tips?

  • I think that Motorola have made a good really phone. But I've a problem with bluetooth transmission. In fact after that I connect my phone with an other one I can't transfer a file from my phone to other and viceversa! I hope that someone could help me! And sorry for my bad english!!!

  • I had the v525 and sold it quickly. The bluetooth seems to work ok but inferior to the s/ericson z600. My phone kept freezing up on me. I had the same problem with a v300 i had. Very heavy phone i just didnt like it as much as the z600.

  • Vodafone has a blue and a silver one... I've seen both of them and purchaced the blue.

  • is somebodys knows please if that phone has a message reports like the Nokia phones or not, if anybody has an answer for my question please e mail me..thnx

  • this phone is cheap as chips, i work for vodafone and the v525 is the blu one not silver

  • This phone is mint.I tell thee.

  • v525 diesn't have an mp3 player as such, it's just it has mp3 ringtones so you can buy the usb cable then gte a favourite track of yours and use part of it to create a ringtone, trust me i have the phone

  • Ive read that this phone has mp3 on it but i have 1 and i dont know how to access it, do you need to buy a cably or something. Plz tell me cos thats 1 of the main reasons i baught the phone.

  • I'm in a bluetooth free pc zone... Is that me up the creek with this phone? People have talked about a serial adaptor, what be this?

  • is this phone available on pay as you go in shops?

  • sure u can make sure u pull the bitrate down to 64kps or lower

  • can i put as a ringtone an mp3 of mine?? e.x can i make the song "shut up" smaller and put it in the V525?

  • the v525 iz wkd.itz got a gr8t colour screen+camera.but mines on orange so it costs more 2 go on the net and get new games

  • I have this phone and I love it. Thats it, I love it and I can not fault it.

  • to use bluetooth to conncet to the comp, do i need a popular adaptor like generic? or like ne adaptor like made by a small company?? does it matter which one i use??ne effect on what i can do with the phone??

  • sure, camera's better, than gx10, but simply out of competetition wiz gx20's one. A very fine unit though.

  • I bought a Motorola V525 in Germany from Vodaphone. They said that it is unlocked and it would work just about anywhere in the world. I am in the USA now and everything works except you can not send pictures to another phone or an email address because the US does not support GPRS. Unfortunetly I was told that after I bought it, so it was a waste of money. If anyone out there knows a way to help me so I can use the camera after all please send me an email. Thanks

  • ive contacted vodafone (new zealand) n they said i cud get a usb cable with cd. will this include PC620 or PC600?? does ne1 know? is the camera like real smooth like samsungs or crap like gx10??

  • What's the difference in the V400 and the V525? What is "bluetooth? Thanks

  • As far as I am aware the V525 was produced for vodafone to run their live service better than the V500. As for the phone I am quite impressed with the handset so far. The games eat the batteries very quickly though. Camera isn't the best quality available on a phone but its a phone not a camera so no point trying to pretend it is. Does what it should and does them well.

  • which is the newer phone the v500 or the v525? Plese tell me because im gettign one for christmas

  • U need ringtones and more for your v.series phone then check out www.mototone.co.uk (all items are completely FREE)

  • i don think it's the battery's fault 3 days is good enuf for a 65k screen+camera. u wil neva get as long battery life as nokias offer, cuz they simply suck at makin screens, which r only 4k n blurred. i bet u play around with ur fone other than makin/answerin calls. if u want ur battery to last a week, jst don touch it at all!

  • I bought this phone a week and a half ago. It is a agreat phone actually except the baterry. It, the baterry, goes down for no more than 3 days. And I make up to 3 2-minute calls per day. It's terrible and I think I'll bring it back in the shop in order the baterry to be changed. Do you think this is just a "bad" baterry? Anything else is so cool.

  • to ppl who own/played around with this fone: will you plz tel me hw good the camera and the screen are?? are they as good as samsung's? im really waitin for this fone to come out!!

  • The phone is okay but up to now there is no manual on data structure. With my bluetooth link I can only see a public folder with two empty sub folders. Pictures taken by the phone are somewhere else and I cannot download neither my Addresses from the SIM-Card nor from the phone's address book. Who can help in getting a complete Vodafone Life!-Manual explaining in details what has to be done to get access to my data on this phone. The other functions and menues are much better and more logical than on previous motorola phones and starting with the MicroTAC to the Timeport P7389, the T725 etc. I had many already. Also the sound quality is much better and for the first time, the display is really visible.

  • I bought this phone and i could not complain one little bit. But then 3 days later the picture of the screen started going all over the place shaking violently. Then the camera stopped working and a day after that the screen went blank. I got a new exchange and so far so good. Maybe i was unlucky because the salesman said he had sold heaps and my was the first to come back. I have only had this new phone for a day so will keep u posted on whether i have anymore probs

  • "Very bad phone.out of the market now because af its failures" sara whatever sara do you even own this phone?no your prob tied up with an 80's brick or a loaf of bread with buttons on it. Your opinion means nothin as a lady you lack the intelligence to make a comment on such a technological marvel. It has had 0 failures so what u talkin bout? It has just been delayed due to software probs, but the batch that were ok and released sold faster than any of it's predecessors, proof it's a sought after and great phone, now shut your face you stupid woman!

  • Writing SMS messages is a joy using the new ITAP technology. There is a message length counter at the top of the screen, so you can keep an eye on the length of your messages. The new ITAP technology remembers your most commonly used words and attempts to guess what words you are trying to type. E.G. if you use the word Experiment a lot when typing your text messages, you will find that the word will either come up first in your list of predicted words to use or it will automatically be displayed on screen when you type for example, ex. I believe that this version of predictive text technology is the best available anywhere! (better than T9)

  • Very bad phone.out of the market now because af its failures

  • jus feel like sayin da picture quality is 10 times beta dan da gx10 ok

  • no need to balme voda for the handset not being on the market its to do with motorolla not making enough ( voda rule never let me down )

  • man, So Coooooolllllll. you have to own one of this..this superrrrrrrr

  • Plain and simple, this phone is da bomb!!! Excellent feature and Motorola know what they are doing, great job

  • day after below note. Kind of changed my mind about the camera, the zoom is good too. I am growing to like it.

  • Just got my v525 today. Camera quality no where near as good as Sharp GX10 which is my last phone. It seems good in general but is quite slow moving around the menu. I think I will put up with it for now but Im not as pleased with it as Id hoped.

  • I played today with a 525 of my father. It seems quite good; very good screen, good camera ( I didn�t have time to explore it, but good pictures even with poor light), lots of functions, good sound and the case finish seems to be very resistant at a normal use. Meanwhile, I�m still waiting mine� They (Vodafone) make me sick :(

  • It is the best phone ever, it has such good picture quality and everything it has on it is mad. It made my birthday a whole lot better.

  • Something tells me we will all be very dissapointed with this phone. It doesnt look a patch on the likes panny's gx70 or the e700.

  • Just how bad is the camera quality?? Is is much worse than the GX10? I need to know before I buy.

  • working for voda upgrades i advised this phonethe best vallue phone ever released a bloody bargain

  • I bought the phone last friday, and when i was downloading a games it crashed and from that moment on, i had a horizontal bar on the bottom of the screen. I've already return the phone and recieved a new one. I think that this is a great phone but it's still in the beginning so it has some bugs. By the way, did any of you tried to synchronized with you PC using Outlook, using bluetooth? I found a synchronizing function (next to the one about bluetooth), but i don't know how to used it.

  • Can anybody tell me the difference between the v525 and the v600?

  • can anyone tell me the release for uk?i pre-ordered one but dunno when it's out

  • i am gonna buy this phone this friday but i want to know is it really worth gettin and wat is the camera quilaty like is it as good as they make out on the advert or is it a lot worse if any one knows plz tell me cheers :)

  • Does it have a good quality camera on it and does the battery life last or not and is the v500 just as good. Ta Angel

  • Difference between v525 and v500 is that the v500 has a slightly larger capacity battery, hence also the extra weight in the phone

  • Phat man! I want it for crimbo badstyle!!!

  • If you want take pictures buy a digital camera instead. I�m still waiting my 525�

  • Get the v600

  • I was thinking of buyin this phone but the everyone is sayin the camera is bad...and camera is wot i desperately need...so im rethinkin...

  • i�ve been testing this phone in Vodafone�s Action Store in Portugal, and apart of the great features and menus, the camera quality is awfull!! It has a very very very poor image quality even using the maximum settings !...right now i�m capable of kicking Motorola�s director in the ass :)

  • Here u go guys i great wap site where u can download FREE mp3 ringtones,wallpaper and themes. u can also make a special request for items by emailing: [email protected] or [email protected] you can request your very own ringtones or wallpapers (requests usually uploaded within 24 hours)

  • Hi. I bought my v525 yesterday here in Portugal! What a great phone! I used to have a nokia (7210) and believe me that it's a huge difference! Has a lot of cool extras, the bluetooth is just great and a the design is amazing. I advise everyone to buy it.

  • In Portugal this mobile it's already in the stores, 249 � (Vodafone Live!)

  • Why has it taken soooooooo long for this phone to be released ? I ordered it in September and keep being fobbed off that is is a delayed release....firstly iw was delayed till October then 'Early' November.....it's November 14th and there is still no sign of a release date

  • i'm about to buy th Motorola v525 for Christmas but am a little curious as it is soo new that there are no comments in any phone books(in ireland) from people who have recently bought it!

  • I'm about to buy this Phone.With these features and the direct relation quality/price i think it's excellent. Finally Motorola comes as a relief of European Nokia's slavery.

  • Hi, everyone. I think de only difference between Motorola V525 and V500 is the first one is personalized with Vodafone Live. They (Vodafone in Portugal) told me it will be released near the end of this month. I'm waiting for one and then I'll tell you my first feeling.

  • Hello everyone, last time I went on this page and it said that V525 have a infrared port and MP3 player. And today I came here different from last time what I saw.......so is anyone know what's the different between Motorola V525 and V500???? If anyone know please email for the answer....thanks

  • hiya i really want this fone, but can anyone tell me wat is the differnce between the v525 and the v500 and also the v300, two of them look really similar, i would b most grateful if anyone knows could u email me? thanks alot!*!

  • Hi, I really want to know Motorola V525 when will be coming out......I really want to purchase it. If u guys have any information about the release date please email me. Thank you very much.

  • OMG! What a great phone! A HUGE phone in caracteristics. I hope i can buy it here in Portugal. For now it costs 250� in Portugal w/ Vodafone
