Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

Built to last, the Motorola V365 is tough enough to withstand even the most rigorous lifestyle. Blurring the lines between business and media-centric phones, the V365 comes loaded with top communication and business features--such as Motorola's push-to-talk feature--and multi-media abilities for easy, on-the-go entertainment. With features like an advanced music player, a VGA camera with 4x zoom, high-speed Web browsing capabilities, and more, the Motorola V365 is an obvious choice for managing both work and play for the smart Cingular customer.

Design
The V365 features a sleek clamshell design with a large, high-resolution 176 x 220 pixel, 262,000-color screen. The outside cover of the handset sports a supplementary 96 x 80 monochrome display that can display time, call information, battery and signal strength, and more. Up and down buttons for volume control are placed on the left side. Most of the phone's features and onscreen menus are controlled by a five-way center button on the handset's control pad. A USB-capable data port is housed on the unit's right side, and there's a standard jack to accept universal hands-free headsets (as well as a headset for music listening). A microSD/TransFlash memory card slot is provided for data and music storage.

Calling Features
The V365 supports polyphonic ringtones as well as MP3 ringers, allowing you to use portions of your favorite songs to alert you to incoming calls. You can also assign pictures and ringers to your most common callers. A number of ringtones come preloaded on the phone, and more ringtones can be downloaded from Cingular's MEdia service. There's even an included application, MotoMixer, that enables you to mix your own ringtones.

Speed dialing, which allows you to quickly call preprogrammed numbers, is built in, as is a vibrating alert. Meanwhile the phone's push-to-talk feature allows for quick communication with other Cingular Push-to-Talk contacts at the push of a button. A speakerphone makes it easy to talk without having the phone to your ear. Meanwhile, voice-activated dialing makes calling your friends, family, and associates as easy as saying their names. The V365's phone book can hold up to 1,000 contacts, while the phone's Bluetooth connectivity means that your favorite Bluetooth headset is fully compatible.

Messaging, Internet, and Tools
The V365 has all the bases covered when it comes to messaging and Internet connectivity. The phone features support for instant messaging, and there's also a built-in Web browser allowing you to find information on the Web with ease. And with support for EDGE data speeds, the V365 makes the mobile Internet experience fast and enjoyable.

The V365 comes with a built-in e-mail client (with support for POP3, SMTP and IMAP4 e-mail standards) and traditional text messaging, and video, picture, and sound messaging are also supported. iTap text entry, which is a technology that makes it easier to enter words and text on handsets, is built into the unit--a plus for mobile e-mail and text messaging users.

A number of handy software tools are bundled with the V365, including a voice memo recorder, a calculator, a calendar, and an alarm clock. You can also use the phone's Bluetooth capability to set up a wireless link with a Bluetooth accessory or to connect to a computer or hand-held device to exchange and synchronize data. The phone supports the SyncML PC synchronization standard, which can be used with Motorola's Mobile Phone Tools PC application to manage and synchronize contacts, calendar, and other data with your PC.

Imaging and Entertainment
With 5 MB of internal memory storage and a memory expansion slot (with support for up to 1 GB of memory), the V365 shines in the entertainment department. The phone's VGA (640 x 480) camera features a 4x digital zoom, image quality options, and an auto-timer so you can be in your pictures, too. Capture stills and then send them to your friends via MMS messaging or e-mail or to your PC via USB or Bluetooth. The V365 adds video capability, too, meaning you can capture short video clips and, just like photos, share them how you see fit. The phone also supports custom graphics for wallpapers so you can dress up the phone to suit your style.

The big news with the V365, though, is the built-in MP3 music player, which can queue up your favorite tracks from a memory card. Jam out to your tunes while you're on the go. And if you're into mobile gaming, the V365 has you covered. The phone ships with several games, and more are available via Cingular's MEdia service.

Vital Statistics
The Motorola V365 weighs 4.20 ounces and measures 3.58 x 1.81 x 1.14 inches. Its lithium-ion battery is rated at up to 9.17 hours of digital talk time and up to 300 hours of digital standby time. It runs on the 850/1800/1900 MHz GSM/GPRS frequencies. The phone comes with a one-year limited warranty.

This review is from: Motorola V365 PTT Gibraltar Phone (AT&T, Phone Only, No Service) (Wireless Phone Accessory)

CNET gave this phone a less than stellar review, but they utterly missed the point. Not everyone wants a phone/computer/camera/e-mail retriever/Klingon translator/backhoe/satellite TV. Some of us just want a dependable phone with outstanding battery life, solid reception that doesn't drop calls and sounds good. This sturdy little unit does all that with aplomb, takes bearable pictures, has a very decent speakerphone, is bluetooth capable, and has PTT for those so inclined. I weathers abuse well and the battery life runs circles around every cell phone I've had previously. If you want a phone that does everything under the sun, but none of it very well, this is not the phone for you. If you're intent on a phone that is an outstanding phone, this unit should be on your list.

This review is from: Motorola V365 PTT Gibraltar Phone (AT&T, Phone Only, No Service) (Wireless Phone Accessory)

I've had this phone for 2 days now and I do feel that the product description provided by cingular wireless was accurate. I researched extensively the week before I bought this phone to find a phone that would have all the cool and necessary features. Frankly, I was a bit disappointed upon my initial search b/c all the phones had some elements but not all the elements I was looking for in a phone. Even the Motorola Razor fell short in several categories. On November 1st I check Cingular's website and came across this phone. It not only had all the features I wanted but was priced well too. Upon receiving the phone and using it I am still not disappointed. It has lived up to its description. I feel very good about owning this phone for the next 2 years. I also purchased the 1 Gig mem card on AMAZON! Get it here! It's way cheaper than Cingular's website!!! The memory card is very cool and works great.

I have had this phone for two weeks (Ebay), and am very happy with it. As others have noted, battery life and sound quality are excellent. Voice dialing works very well, as well as blue tooth function. Icon clearly identifies whether info is stored on phone or SIM card. Another plus is that back light time can be extended. Some may find the phone a touch thick and heavy, but it is too good not to overlook these potential drawbacks.
