Motorola V872 - User Reviews

  • this mobile is the best

  • its call is very ugle

  • Im surprised this phone is still available on the market.. We were told this was phased out already. I dont really recommend this phone, although the design is really really cool. My mom bought this for herself, brand new, in the US. She let me use this phone because she couldnt find available batts for this when she came back to the Philippines(there was a defect, it discharges after only 12 hours of use & needs 4 hours charging). There was a problem w/ a part in the phone (speaker was busted, we can't receive calls/hear audio recording/music) only after a few months & had to be shipped all over asia bec HK & Japan doesnt have that part available bec this model was already phased out around the time she bought this in 2005...After it toured about 3 asian countries, the phone was still unrepaired. there are more user friendly phones than this & i cant download my pics from the phone after how many times I've uploaded the CD installer etc. I say you pick another model but if you still really feel this phone is your soulmate, please do think a hundred times before buying this kind of model.

  • I like this phone a lot. It's easy to use, it is really nice and most people love it. The only problem I'm having is I can't find a replacement battery. i was charging it last week and when I went to take it off charge it just died on me. I've had it now for 6 months and I can't understand why it is a battery problem.I HAVE THE RED ONE

  • I cannot seem to be getting picture messaging when I receive or send mail. My mobile provider in the UK claims that I should download some soft ware from Motorola and so far no success. Please help.

  • my unit is low n ringtones how cud i upload more tones? i need such guide....in uploading ringtones......any1 there pls do....

  • i think there should be a phone AIMED at teenagers. which should be low priced (because were not paid well) but have all the varieties we like. such as true tones and games

  • I'm able to receive text messages but not able to send....also, how do i download ring tones????

  • Im trying to send ringtones to this phone, it comes up to the point where it says looking for device on the motorola phone tools software and it doesnt find the device. Can someone plesae teach me how to do this please. THANKS

  • anyone can teach me how to download song to this handphone..? wat type of the song can transfer to this handphone? thanks.

  • Does this phone use the 32k or 64k SIM card?

  • Excellent Phone

  • I love this phone but i need to get the user guide in spanish. Can someone please tell me where can i get it. THANKS

  • nope.. mine doesnt have speakerphone..

  • ihave got my phone from china/ineed some one to send me inglish manual / and i want arabic software for motorola V872 if possible

  • i have a boner!!!!

  • Hey, I'm thinking og buying one, can anyone tell me if its worth it, it looks great, but is it as good as it looks>?

  • Well i got this phone. there is no speakerphone on mine.. call me dumb, but i can't find it. oh and.. i dropped it a couple of days ago.. and now the battery isn't on tight so there's creases and stuff.. but other than that the phone is good.. there's better.

  • Is this phone compatible with mp3 or real music sounds and can they be played as ringtones?

  • to use the speaker phone.... when you are connected to the person you want to use it with...look at the screen and in the bottom right hand corner it says speakerphone and you toch it w/ a softkey...it is not that hard ppl...

  • i love this phone!!!!

  • its very nice and white and black.

  • i think its a good looking phone and i am thinking of buying it

  • i have cingular service. does anyone know how to set the phone up to connect to the internet? It says it is connecting, then about a minute later it says it is disconnecting.

  • My phone keeps text messaging me every time I receive a voicemail and when I check my voicemail. I have cingular and they charge for each text message sent AND received. Does anyone know how to turn this feature off? Please let me know if you do! Thanks!

  • I thought the phone looked interesting but now I am having problems with the battery. It fits loosely and if you bump it wrong it shuts off and its a pain for it to reload the data. Its very frusturating when you are making a call or texting someone and it just shuts off cause of a loose battery. Does anyone else have the same problem with their phone

  • it reminds me of a panda

  • I have been looking for the speakerphone as well with no luck,I love the phone, so far i have not had any problems with it

  • I've had this phone for monthes, can anyone tell me how to use the speaker phone! *if there is one* ?.. and i don't think it can playback mp3s...

  • i love this motorolav872 set thanks .

  • i just got this phone how come on the specs it says it has a loudspeaker handsfree. Does that mean it has a speakerphone? I don't see this at all. and ontop of that. My voice note play back is so quiet you can barely hear it. Anyone with this phone please tell me how theirs work. Thanks so i know if i should return it for a warantee.

  • very great

  • What happened to it? Battery replacement is not a problem for me I can get one for $20 Canadian dollars. But I want to know what features have problems?

  • i bought this phone two monts ago, it just started giving me problems. I had to change the battery. Now, something else wrong with it,,, means its junk. DON'T BUY THIS PHONE, IT NICE LOOKING. NOT WORTH IT. PLZZ DON'T GIFT TO ANYONE

  • I'm getting that phone ordered from the US to where i am in Canada. From what i know on the motorola website advertising the v872 is that it does play mp3's. On the website it says v872_Xtra's... it says mp3 sounds. mp3 sound = songs and there's a number you dial to download it. I'm guessing there are different variations of the 872? Anyone can tell me.?

  • Back again, Just reading some of the opinion's and i realise that people might think that there is only one colour. The model i have of this phone is a "Royal Red". Which is very sleek and sexy. The only features that this phone lacks is that it doesn't have bluetooth which really pissed me off. And also Can't play Mp3's which is also a let down. But besides that, This phone is great. It's very stylish - Or so all my friends say. I paid around AU$450 or so (bought it in Hong Kong). The Camera is pretty high quality and the screen isn't small like other Motorola's. Reception is good, although i've experienced 2 or 3 drop outs. I've had it for 4 months now and can't find any real dislikes about it.

  • Hey, i have this phone.. And the info you have on it is wrong. It can actually hold 20 Dialled calls, Missed calls, Recieved. etc.

  • is a very good phone i by it and all the people like it they by the same phone its a very good phone motorola but with the v80 kiss my ass is a bad phone and ugley i am happy with my new motorola v872 v 80 sucks.

  • Hi, I am planing to buy this phone but I see in the voting results that it isnt a good funcional phone , where can I get more information from this phone? , and if you alredy have one please tell me how good or bad it is .. thanks for your interest...

  • I just got this phone last week. Half of the people like it and half don't. I like it a lot. This model i think function is similar to samsung phone i.e. i have to press # button to make it go to silent mode instead of pressing the outside button for soft ring, ring, vibrate etc. like the original other motos. overall, a nice phone, but i don't know if it worth how much i paid for it.

  • its seems to be good phone

  • here is link for the spec:

  • what think about this phone that is a hot and very styles, it has all of the reviews but what i was looking for, that if it had bluetooth

  • Does anyone own this phone? I really like to know your pros/ocns. I really like to know the functional quality of the phone (ie: color and reception) It attracts me because of the small size and a color of the external LCD (ie: like samsung E715).

  • It is not original at all. It looks crap ! Plus it probably costs more than any other phone with the same features...Moto you have no taste !

  • look like "toilet seat",It is ugly,key point is white-black color.

  • its hot but tha v220 is even hotter!

  • too big with antenna

  • great piece of calmshell phone !!! but little dissatisflied with the antenna

  • i just want to tell you motorola is every good for my liking i wish to have one thanks

  • Dont know why they are keeping the antena?! but its very nice phone!

  • nice phones

  • sleek design don't u think?
