Motorola's V551
Motorola's V551
03/14/2005 04:23 PMThe V551 is a Quad band clam style flip phone released last fall by
Motorola.
Outstanding features of the V551 include a VGA camera with video
recording capabilities, one-touch web and camera access, EDGE
high-speed transfer rates, Bluetooth wireless technology, and a crisp,
clear, bright, 65k TFT colour (176 x 220 pixels) internal display.
The phone has a monochrome 2-line external display that displays time,
call information, battery, and signal strength and features a blue
backlight. A VGA camera lens and self portrait mirror sit above the
display allowing the user to capture photos. The camera does not have
a flash though it has 4x digital zoom and dedicated one touch camera
key for one touch video capture and playback. The camera allows for
10 second video clips and the phone features 5 MB of user memory. Up
to 1000 entries are able to be stored in the phone plus up to an
additional 250 on SIM card.
The V551 is 3.5" x 1.87" x 0.83" (49mm x 89mm x 24.6mm) and weighs 4.4
oz (114g) and contains a standard Lithium-Ion 780 mAh battery that
gives the phone a standby time of up to 235 hours and talk time of up
to 425 minutes.
The phone also features MP3 & polyphonic ringtones, a 22 Khz
polyphonic speaker, picture phonebook, voice-activated dialing,
built-in hands-free speaker phone, MMS, SMS, predictive text and SMTP,
POP3, IMAP4 email client, and other features including a calculator,
currency converter, date and clock, datebook with reminder alerts, an
alarm clock and voice record.
The buttons are large and easy to press making the phone a breeze to
use when text messaging or dialing long numbers. The menu is easy to
navigate and doesn't take long to master the functions. The phone has
a good selection of cool animated screensavers, wallpapers and
ringtones that make the it fun to use and easily customised. A
disadvantage to this phone is that it flips open quite easily. Spymac
discovered this as the phone opened itself a couple of times while
stashed inside a bag when not in use.
Along with the V551, Spymac tested out Motorola's Bluetooth Headset.
Using the headset is simple and straightforward and can be done by
charging the headset and then pairing it with the phone. The pairing
process was straightforward and took less than a minute. The sound
quality of this headset was about average. The headset heavily picked
up background noise, making it hard for the person on the other line
to hear. It was also quite bulky and uncomfortable, but many users
would be willing to put up with some of these negative qualities to
have a wireless headset.
The V551's clean and stylish design, MP3 ringtones, and VGA camera set
this phone apart from many others and makes it appealing to the young
market, while many of the other features like Bluetooth, and
high-speed EDGE data transfer, and Quad band GSM frequency range
appeal to professionals and business consumers. These features, along
with the mass appeal, make the V551 one of the top phones in this
price range on the market.

Bursting Motorola's Bubble
Bursting Motorola's Bubble
07/28/2004 02:33 PMA number of outlets are critical of the Motorola Wi-Fi/cell phone:
TechDirt and TheFeature emphasize how limited the phone's use will be
because it only operates on 802.11a. Also, as we noted yesterday, it
sounds like this platform would make a tough sell because it requires
APs from Avaya and Proxim or upgrades to existing Proxim APs. The
solution isn't ideal and neither is the HP/T-Mobile device, which
doesn't include voice capabilities over Wi-Fi. These are pretty
typical first attempts and they'll certainly improve with future
iterations. However, the enterprise solutions like Motorola's will
have a tough road ahead of them. Cellular operators are typically very
slow to embrace change, especially anything that may be perceived as
threatening their voice business, which voice over Wi-Fi may. I'll be
interested to see which operator Motorola actually launches this with
and which enterprises actually use it....

Motorola's A780 See-Through Smartphone
07/28/2004 01:20 PM
Infosync has some hinkfo
about another one of the phones announced by Motorola this week, the
A780, a Linux-based handset that will run on EDGE (new wireless
broadband fastness) networks. And while it's full-featured as anything
-- 1.3-megapixel camera, gostosa! -- the most interesting thing
about the A780 is its screen. Through a hole in the flip-top basic
information like Caller ID can be seen, while the full display is
accessible when opened. It's a smart design; hopefully developers will
take advantage of it.

07/21/2004 02:48 AMAP - Despite a costly sendoff for its semiconductor unit, things are
looking up for Motorola Inc. Even though the world's No. 2 cell-phone
maker reported its first quarterly loss since 2002, a $203 million
deficit for April through June, Wall Street was cheered by another
quarter of impressive sales and the company's forecast of more of the
same ahead.
