  • This is the second time I bought V980 brcause I like it a lot. Last time I purchased a second hand one, but last week I got a brand new one at a cellphone market in Bangkok. Actually I want a black one, but I had no choices. The phone is fat that I like it and it's not tooo small. Also it has an MP3 player within. I have 256 Micro SD card(Tran Flash) and I can fill lots of MP3 songs in my card....cool. Mostly I use a card reader to tranfer pixs and songs to the phone. I recommend this phone if you don't care about the bluetooth coz it doesn't have. The camera is ok for me I am not sticked to. Usually I must use MP3 all the time especially when I am on way to work or anywhere. Battery it is good if you don't talk too much or listen MP3 whole day. Please read its instruction before you use.

  • this phone is great! i have it since more than 4 months, and it runs mp3's great, i have a trans flash card (512MB), and i bouth a card reader, so i can easy transfer 3gp's and music from my pc. it runs mp3's, that are with a bit rate above 256 and with the card reader you are able to transfer and install java-games or programms. the only bad thing about it is that it has no irda or BT, but isn't a problem- i have a cable AND a card reader :-)

  • Are you crazy???Motorola v3 is the best phone .If you want more memory buy mp3-player and listen !!!

  • This phone rulez, it runs great mp3, makes great movies, films even better than the nokia 6230i, it has no bluetooth or infrared but you have a cable so it`s okay. Makes pretty good photos.

  • does any1 knows a link where i can find a suitable driver for my motorola v980 i'm looking for days

  • I got this phone for 1 week, and immideatly the screen was broken by a little drop on my sofa. - The whole screen went black; so I can't read. There's no quaranty at all with screen errors. So a big waste of my money. There NO InfraRed or Bluetooth on this phone. And there's alot of Vodaphone sh*t on it. The only good thing of this phone is the usb slot for mini SD. But with a broken screen even the mp3 player is not nice... Think twice before buying this phone. A little soft bump against it, shouldn't break the whole phone...

  • This phone is great, my mp3 works fine so does my mpeg-4 videos. The only thing that has been a pain is the LCD internal screen every so often shows lines across the screen. This seems to be a problem in a high porcentage of V980s, hope it doesnt get worse!!! If you[re going to buy this phone better take a look at it twice, Id recommend better the V3i.

  • this phone is my baby. super phone

  • i'm so glad to get rid of this phone its given me nothing but problems for a year. I had to change the phone twice and the battery FOUR times i'll never get another 'Rolomota' again!

  • Hi! i'm going to buy this phone :] but i have question about mp3... Can i listening mp3 when phone is complex ? and is there realy mp3 player or must i upgrade soft... please answer!:]

  • Well... I do everse engineering for a living... this device hardware is really impressive but the SOFTWARE SUCKS BIG TIME!. as most of the newest motorola phones. the software does not playback good MP3s over 128K - not as ringtones or mp3 player so you better off with good quality politones, the mp4 also sucks since the microSD controllers dont work too good on the data transmission and YES PEOPLE, the phone DOES turn off itself, I managed to see why... the main reason is power administration and motorola made the mistake of releasing the phone withthe bluetooth software still in the programming (you wont see it in menu) and so much more so my advice... DONT BUY THIS PHONE - get yourself a very reliable e398 or e1000... I got more too say but I might get an email from Motorola trying to press charges against me...lol...

  • How do u get rid of the Vodafone live! right soft key function... Can u change the function of the soft keys?

  • Be aware of the negative comments here - the phone is very buggy. First handset took to turning itself off in mid conversation or web surfing, second handset no longer played ring tones or mp3's (after one week of fairly light use this wasn't good). Just waiting to see how handset number 3 will fail. Oh, and the battery is a joke. Buy Nokia instead.

  • i only jst got dis fone but its class. it shud hav a larger internal memory tho!

  • Hi All, Could anyone help me finding the PC software driver for Motorola V980? Thank you. Ale

  • Please someone explain to me how to get the god damn photos off the phone and onto the pc!

  • this is a very good mobile phone. As soon as i got it everyone else wanted one! i have the same problem with the green lines on the screen when u try to video, the best thing to do is take the battery out of the phone when it is still turned on, then when u put it back in again, it seems to work fine...well it did for me anyway! Yes, a very stylish and modern handset, i would reccomend it to anyone.

  • Well, my v980 is good, have had a c975 before and this is much better. mp4 and mpeg4 file no prob, straight off 256mb transflash from picstop �19.99, games placed into the kjave 'hidden' file on card, install straight into phone no problem, cannot use midway or pst but mtp is great and everything was in bundle usb,card and software, no probs with calls, text or vodafone live and for �80 who gives a **** about bluetooth!! battery life is at least 40hr but since mine is charged 1 hr a day in car, never have to topup at home.

  • I bought this phone last month and love it. Only problem is transferring songs from my computer to the phone. I've successfully downloaded from Vodafone Live but have ended up paying twice-once for my ipod and once for my phone. Is there anyway to transfer from my itunes file to my phone(i want full tracks not ringtones)?

  • is there in usb cable included in the package???

  • I have got V980,please help me dowload driver v980!

  • it's a cool phone but i need the driver and the software.help!!

  • you need a software, "motorola phonetool", is very easy. with this software yuo can edit the mp3 files and select video and images. good luck. please send me and email.

  • this is an ace phone, keep it up motorola

  • i have the motarola v980 its been ok so far but i cant put mp3's on it and been bugging e for a while i got this phone for �80 i has quite a nice look to it and does what i want apart for download mp3's any ideas?

  • does anybody know if you can put the saved videos on to dvd

  • Answers 2 some of your questions no it dosn't have bluetooth but it dosnt realy need it who cares its a smart phone anyway, 2 upload & download u need the motorola pc tools driver disk which comes in most packages with the phone then just plug phone lead into usb & thats it u can edit mp3s in the suite then transfer them as ring tones, i recently saw the v3 razor in the shops & thats a rubbish looking phone looks like a kiddies 1!!!!

  • I am on my third V980 due to them all being faulty and this one is going back tomorrow! Absolutely terrible. Screen goes blank, lines come across it, it switches off, crackles during calls, battery is useless, camera doesnt always work, get a Nokia!

  • DONT take any notice of those who say this phone is crap it is not. It works perfectly, to download mp3s and pics on to this phone or vice versa u need the "motorola pc suite" which u have to buy if yr phone doesnot already come with it as part of the package. With this you can transfer anything between phone and computer either way. I transfer all my photos to the computer and print them out, i also have around 20 mp3s already on my phone at present. The other thing which you may need to do is buy a transflash memory card my phone came with a 32mb card already installed but i had already a 256mb transflash memory card from my old motorola phone. You can buy these cards from Amazon.co.uk mine cost �27.50. The moral of the story is this phone works perfectly if you have the software required to upload and download. Hope this answers some of the questions asked about mp3 transfers ect

  • v 980 is a great mobile.i have nokia 6610i but is sou incomode and pixel.....sou litle

  • Motorola V980, give me a nokia any day. Difficult to put games on, completely crap battery (38HRS MAX)vodafone live keeps disconnecting, no bluetooth or infrared ( call it a modern phone!!) anyone who wants one make sure you can afford to bin it and buy a decent mobile!! I'm sure you will be dissapointed...Regards...Steve.

  • big,ugly,little display and with antenna! one of the craps motorola made !

  • I don't know how come so many people have so many problems with the phone, i have had no problems with mp3's on the phone as mp3's OR setting them as ringtones. When i bought the phone u get motorola mobile tools with it and you DONT need to use a digital camera memory card to put mp3's on it either, you just plugin in the cable that comes with the phone and install the software wich COMES with the phone. Load the program and choose multimedia studio and voila you have picture transfere mms transfere and my goodness audio transfere. And thats it. Now if you have a the sim free version then maybe the mp3's are disabled as ringtones, well thats easy enough to fix, download LeaderGL Flex editor and you can enable this. All in all i have had no problems with this phone, the only think is that the program that transferes the mp3's does convert the mp3 down to 64kbs but obviously for space reasons, if u want a high quality mp3 player then you wouldn't use a mobile phone, go and get an ipod.

  • i bought this phone n alls i wanna do wiv it is bin it, it cost me �200 n its bin nout but rubbish plp if i were u i wudlnt buy it is a gd phone if it wrked properly !!!

  • the answer to the thing that every one keeps asking... no it doesnt have bluetooth. and the way to get the mp3 files onto your phone is to put your memory card into a digital camera connect the camera to the pc/laptop via the USB port and put the mp3, mpeg, jpeg etc files on through that. the reason why it says on most peoples phones files to big is because you dont have a memory card and seeing as the phones internal spare memory is about 2mb thats impossible to be able to put a mp3 file onto it as the average song is about 4.5mb. i hope this would help a lot of people with there questions.personally its a quality fone.

  • Can someone please tell me how to put mp3 music from my pc to my phone. When i try to dod with the usb cable I was given with the phone, its says that the file is too large! COntact me at [email protected] please if you could tell me how to do it

  • What a plesant look in shape but no bluetooth no software driver to enable me download and upload pix, mp3 etc. that makes me regret of buying it.

  • This phone doesn't have BT. The easiest way to pass mp3 and other files is throught the memory card, I put it on a camera and then connect the cam to the PC. It's an alternative way but very easy! webosfritos.net

  • Hi i am about to buy this phone but could some body tell me does it HAVE BLUETOOTH because some sites and people say it does an some people say it dosent an i am really confused,so some one please tell me an make sure you have actually used it on the phone.

  • hello i need the sofware necesary download and upload mp3 and pictures to the phone. thanks

  • This is my second Motorola fone - my previous one V525 was continually switching off and became unusable. My V980 keeps losing signal strength - missing calls - missing texts - half the time I cant download stuff as the signal keeps breaking. Picture keeps disappearing. Battery dies in less than a day and I just send a couple of texts a day usually. I am going back to Nokia I think. 2 bad Motorolas is more than coincidence.

Take it from me, it's a great phone, i got one to use in our cellular store as a demo and, surfing the Vodafone live menu on 3g is so smooth, downloading video clips, full track songs, news clips on demand, backgrounds ex, overall i didn't expect much at first but once i started using the phone it made a difference, thats why peolpe shouldn't diss a phone if they havent used it before, go ahead, buy it, you wont be sorry, unless your network does'nt support all the features the phone has to offer. Enjoy.

  • its great! but can anybody tell me pls how to connect my v980 to my calculator to get music and photos !!!! pls pls pls pls pls tell my. have mersi

  • To the person who only visits the site once a year and wrote that long and boaring opinion i think on page 3. Well thank god you only visit this site once a year cause if u did more often i think i will fall asleep and the mobile comunity will go bankrupt, please like you said if you dont like the phone dont buy it, same counts for you if you dont like the opinions posted dont visit the site, theirs no age restriction to whom can post or not, enough space for everybody and sorry if not everyone is updated with knowledge about mobiles, but do you know what thank you in anyway for your opinions. See you nest year.

  • To be honest we don't experience any of the mentioned problems in connection with activating 3G, our network Vodacom adds 3G as a value added service on your account and it works asap, no problem, also if we experience any problems with battery life ext. their service centres supply software upgardes free of charge and that 9 out of 10 times solves the problem, i'm getting one for a test period so i will see how the phone performs.

  • i just bought it and have been charging for 8 hours. the lights go on but the screen doesnt HElp me plz!!!!!

  • I am thinking about getting this phone, but I need message delivery report, does the V980 have this facility?

  • help!! how to format the transflash card of the v980??? tks

  • BullSHT! I read the whole 4pages of opinions and questions and it didnt help me in any possible Human way to understand anything that bothers me about my V980... I won't ask anything difficult like "how can i upgrade my v980 interface" but If anyone knows and is willing to answer to this simple question that has been posted before and it didnt get an answer i would really apreciate it... How can I install java games in V980 with a card reader? Thank you.

  • The phone is good accept i have no end of problems with it 7/10

  • this fone is pretty good, altougth there are phones with better features i would certainly recommend this one. one thing i have been wondering is, how much memory the fone will hold? as im looking to buy a transflash card, an they go all the way upto 256mb, not sure if the phone will support it though

  • Hi. I had same problem with software, but I found the italian version of motorola mobile phone tools v980. If you have this software and UC600 cable (Phone to USB cable) you can do anything you want. I uploaded full hour of music, and downloaded planty of images I took. The software can be downloaded from net, but i cannot remembre site( i remembre it's italian site). Try Google or try some of those P2P softwares (eDonkey or Kaaza or WinMX but beware they 're spyware). regards Igor

  • Hi! anyone know's wy dosen't the alarm start's when the phone is turned of? it only works when the phoe is on... is this a software problem? I think it's a nice phone, but it could be mutch better with bluetooth and a long life batery. Regards

  • To install java apps on this phone directly you need a special developers version. Check out www.motocoder.com/ Another fact about this phone .. you only get one free game ... the other two that come with it are trial's

  • My Motorola V980 Is Wick3d!! The Pictures R So Cool. I Give It 10/10

  • this phone is the best i have not had a better phone so far the ariel look stupid but the duel colour screen is mint i love it

  • i thought i had bought a great phone but i was wrong!!!!!!!it really sucks because it`s quite simple for such an expensive phone!!!!!!!i could have bought a better one for half price!!!!!!!!the umts network it`s also a big lie (for now) since there`s a lack of real coverage!!!!!!!!!

  • Great thank you...=)but...i forgot to say..i don't have the linkcable to the pc..alltough i do have a SD memory card reader,wich allows me to transfer images,videos and mp3's...can't i install games in Motorola V980 that way???sorry..but can somebody please tell me a way(if there is one)to install the games in the mobile with out a cable..the only way i know is paying:'(

  • mi m8 has had 3 of these fones! The first time it didn't charge and the second it crashed when it charged. They need to sort this fone out cause its not that gr8 a fone i think.

  • First of all there no larger memory card slot.... just the uber small t-flash card ... the big "memory card" you got in the box is just an adapter to allow the t-flash to be read in SD card readers. I've had one biggish problem which has all ready been decribed vague. It's basically involves "zooming" the image, say a VGA photo, to it original size ( for actualy see'ing how your pics came out ) ... when I tried this on 2 handsets both results where the same ... a blurred pixelated mess... when panning around the "image" eheh.. the screen would often go black... then sometime a image fitted to screen would display ... then back to blurred mass of pixes ... eventually ... you recieve a "File is to large" error ... and as previously stated all images stored on the phone are reported as corrupt ( though there not ) and the camera function stops working ... only way to solve is to switch phone on and of again.... all in all A nice phone, with nice features but SHITE software.

  • i love this phone it is totally mint. everyone should have one

  • How do i install games in my motorola V980???i've tried about everything,and i still haven't made it...can someone please tell me how to do it???

  • Where do i put the big memory disk - ie not the wee teeny one that was already in the phone. what do you do with the bigger sandisk memory card?

  • Nice phone and plenty of features. A couple of problems though: some of teh buttons mysteriously stopped working after a couple of months, and I'd been GENTLE with the phone. Plus, it does tend to drop calls, even in full coverage. It also seems ludicrously susceiptible to moisture, as the button problem I mentioned before has been attributed to moisture, even though I keep it safe and dry. What a pain: since they conveniently dont cover moisture damage under the warranty. Stay away from Motorola. Pricks.

  • My first Moto was a c350,a simple phone, no problems with that. Second was a v525, and i said ,that IS A Phone.Still no problems with that either.20 days ago i had in my hands the c980... only for a day and a half because it didnt recocnise the image files and coudnt open the camera for taking photos n videos.I sendit for service and waited 2 weeks.Last friday i took it back only to sendit to service the next morning because the screen was fliking and trempling at incoming-outgoing calls and msgs by the signal of the gsm network.Imagine me making a 3G call!!!i m still waiting for it! the catch? they use the same boards to the v980. I still have my good Alcatel 1 tats Rocket on. and my Nokia is off batts.

  • first days i bought it it was perfect but now only in 1 month i have severals problems 1.it close when i speak and after few sec it opens 2.my calls drope even if my signal is full 3.thank you.

  • this phone has it all and its thinner than i expected. hours of fun. texting is so simple now on motorola

  • This phone is so like... I shoved it up my ass and it vibrated and it got stuck up my ass and I couldnt get it out so I stuck up a nokia 7280 and tried to get it out but I had constipations and poo started coming out of my mouth. I also get sex with the phone.

  • I just got one. It`s incredible!! Even as a GSM phone i will naved have thought that it could be so great. i love it !

  • i thing those that needs biutiful phones to go to nokia. get a life people !

  • i really like this phone as it has everything i need. Maybe it would be better if it had no aerial and had bluetooth but these aren't really major, I would advise anyone to get this phone

  • thank you

  • had a look at this in carfone & screen is far to small.

  • I tend to agree with the opinions of those,in relation to, pointless & unnecessary comments that appear on these pages. I haven't used this site for a year or so & i am disappointed to find that it's not the useful source of information it once was.So many questions!but few answers, so i hope this helps. If your phone is NOT stolen at the time of purchase it would have come with an instruction manual. If upon reading the manual there is no mention of the Bluetooth feature, then it most likely is not going to have it. Similarly if it doesn't mention infared, guess what? It aint got it! Sa tri reedin da manul innit!As for those moaning about phones being ugly & their mate has got one & it's shit!...Don't buy one then, buy one you do like & write something constructive about it. Think of it like this if you will, depending on what gender you are, a phone can be compared to what you might look for in someone of the opposite sex(or same sex in some cases, what ever floats your boat), anyway. Ladies, you will find that some phones have bigger antennas than others but it's what the phone does with it that counts, so choose wisely.(For those of you concerned, most phones come with the vibration feature so you need not worry). Also, you will find that after talking for some length of time the phone will automatically switch of, it's to be expected, so buy a phone with a long lasting battery.(Those using speaker phone may experience a totally blank screen whilst talking). Gents, avoid Motorola, Samsung & Sharp phones as they tend to flip & have been known to snap on occasions whilst socialising with friends, which can be embarrassing & result in having to go home to fix it.(If you happen to own one of these phones already it is strongly advised you leave it at home). You are also advised NOT to purchase camera phones whilst drunk as the picture quality looks 10 times better than it does the following morning. You will find that you can turn some phones on very easily & some will switch off when you least expect it, this is common & not necessarily a fault with the phone & can be easily rectified by pressing the correct buttons (It is strongly recommended however, that whatever phone you purchase the buttons are not pressed too hard, you do not take your anger out on your phone in any shape or form, you maintain & equip your phone with the latest necessities & avoid phones with blue teeth). I however, shall be holding on to my house brick in a briefcase, as the 80's are making a huge comeback, & soon i'll be the one laughing because you'll all want a phone like mine & it's hard to get planning permission these days. Hope this has been helpful, i hope to log on in another year or two to find useful information like, how long the battery really lasts, how many characters you can send per text? does the phone have good all round reception?Etc. Basically, does it do what it says on the tin? Oh and do they enable you to make & receive phone calls because that is what a phone should really do at the end of the day! All these mod cons are already in most of our homes & we're just lining some fat cat's wallet because it's an image ting! innit! You would'nt expect to use a landline phone for anything other than making & receiving calls, likewise you would'nt expect to see some one with a PC stuck to the side of their head, keep it real!Anyway, about the phone, I won't be purchasing one because the aerodynamics are shit, the phone doesn't have wide screen facility & i don't like the colour of the battery. Goodnight.

  • could this phone be the key to help my e398 capture video on the transflash card???

  • What is T flash memory card slot? why doen't v 980 have an infrared port?

  • No Bluetooth ?!?!?!!?!?!?? I can't believe!!! COME ON MOTOROLA

  • No Bluetooth and no infrared. Just some bullshit to be one of the first on market with UMTS.

  • for �150 its alot better than the lg u8120 which is the same price.

  • for sale V980 with 350$.

  • this phone is amazing i love it

  • Has this model phone bluetooth? please answer me..

  • with bluetooth is was almost perfect...(and a megapixel camera too...)

  • how much the v980 cost with delivery to israel?

  • i think that it looks good so im gonna buy it thats not all though also because i think it smells of shit luv sam xxxxx

  • Apart from the new sony ericsson v800 which is also a 3g phone!!!!!!! And it DOESNT have an antenna. And it's probably one of the best out there.

  • To all those unknowns, first of all this is a 3G phone not a GSM phone so unless you want to buy those repulsive 3G candy bar Nokia phones that don�t qualify to be 3G phones since they don�t support video streaming then you have only two choices NEC and Motorola and none of those 2 companies have a clam shell phones without an antenna, well NEC has one but it�s as ugly as hell. So stop acting like ignorants and claiming that there�re better 3G phones out here. It�s true that nokia has the biggest market share, but when it comes to 3G Motorola is the leader, do some reading it might be helpful for you kids.

  • Hi Jae,pls trust me the clarity of the phone is quite bad comparing to other's brand.Have check with my local service centre they said can upgrade the software but every thing inside will be erase so till now haven't do yet. Regards

  • Hi boys. Can anyone confirm that dis fone is gangster. I wanna buy it innit but i need to 3G call my hommies innit and show a bit of video of me macking hoes. innit

  • Can anybody confirm if this phone has an infrared port? (There are sites that don't say anything about it)

  • If you bought something for �500 you would expect a good quality product. This board is for peoples opinions, not for jumped up little twats like you to go mouthing off on. Tosser INNIT

  • everyone who is going "oh wah wah wah it's ugly oh wah wah wah it has an antenna wah wah wah it has a short battery life", shut up. it's only a phone.

  • He is right. When you consider what else is on the UK market at the mo why would you even consider this. Its like a fat minger walking into a room of supermodels, which one would you rather take home??!! Its big, ugly and badly made. Reminds me of the toy phones at toysRus!

  • Someone said why do you care about the antenna,its the features that count, but when you can get other phones with better features than this without antennas then why would you bother buying this, its lame

  • Kwl fone i luv it gettin it soon

  • Most of you here are clueless... This is NOT just a GSM phone... OK. It's 3G hence the short battery life. 3G services take more out of your phone than standard 2/2.5G services. This phone is ugly...I agree. The features are OK, but the "hardware" is not up-to-date. The screen is too small and if it's the same as on the V525 etc... absolutely horrible. I wouldn't get this phone unless I get it for free. But it's a 3G phone so if you want stylish phones you are in the wrong section.

  • Will you lot wake up and listen to what you are saying? The antenna makes it look like a PHONE rather than a nondescript piece of metal & plastic. If you don't buy it simply because it has an antenna, then your worrying about your image too much. Mind you some people who buy clams are image freaks anyway. It's the features that count. Don't want the antenna poking into your leg when it's in your pocket? BUY A BLOODY CASE AND WEAR IT ON YOUR BELT! Like most normal sane people do. I get the impression 90% of people who leave 90% of the negative comments on here are adolescent 14 year-olds. Grow up for gods sake. Its the features that matter, not whether it's antenna is external or internal! Geez!

  • its a bit cute but whats with the antenna? do away with the antenna, and extend the the talk time,i assure u- u got a killa phone

  • OMG Motorola please wake up!! ur talk time is wayyyyyyyyyy too short!! upgrade ur battery life will ya??

  • This phone is real UGLY! Wake up motorola!

  • Stop making protuding antenna phone. It looks stupid and uncomfortable with the antenna poking in your pocket!

  • I have 2 of these phones for sale. They are pre-production models. Email me for details

  • hi . like hw much motorola v80 cost and and v50. pls can u reply to my box. tnx.

  • it's great cellular. how do i get this in indonesia? how much is the price? is it coming up soon in indonesia or not? when is it exaclty? thanks

  • 2hrs is too less of talktime.

  • its beautiful but personally i dont like this handset because there is a tendency that it would break into two.

  • big dimensions

  • it must hav internal antenna

  • HAHA first again! GBB...nice fone
