Amazon.com Product Description

Built with premium materials and boasting an elegant design, this special version of the clamshell Nokia 6205 for Verizon celebrates one of The Dark Knight--the continuation of the Batman legend and one of the biggest movies in Hollywood history. Clad in a mysterious black color and embellished with a subtle The Dark Knight emblem, it comes pre-loaded with wallpapers, voice tones, animated screensavers inspired by the film, and a full movie trailer. You will also find a Joker playing card with a code and a link to a special Verizon web site where you can find out if you've won The Joker’s "bag of cash" containing $10,000, play games to win more The Dark Knight-themed prizes, and download exclusive The Dark Knight content from Verizon Wireless’ V CAST service.

Great Gotham Gadgetry! The Dark Knight Edition of the Nokia 6205 boasts a sleek black design and Dark Knight emblem on the back.

It's compatible with the V Cast Music and V CAST Music with Rhapsody services, which enables you to purchase songs through your phone and download them via Verizon's fast EV-DO data network. The phone also features Bluetooth connectivity for handsfree devices, MicroSD memory expansion, a 1.3-megapixel camera/camcorder, and up to 4.5 hours of talk time.

Verizon Service Options
With support for the EV-DO high-speed data standard, you'll enjoy fast access to the Internet and Verizon's multimedia services (additional charges applicable), with average download speeds ranging from 400 to 700 Kbps and peak rates up to 2 Mbps. (Learn more about where EV-DO coverage is offered.) The V Cast Music service enables you to download songs instantly to your phone, or purchase music through your PC and transfer the files to your phone. If purchased from your phone, you'll receive two copies of the song: a Windows Media Audio Pro Plus format at 64Kbps stereo is sent to your phone, and a Windows Media Audio 9 format at 160Kbps stereo is sent to your account in the V CAST Music online store for downloading to your PC. V Cast Music offers nearly 2 million songs, with more being added all the time.

Enjoy crisp looking videos on the 262K color screen, and send messages and email using the clearly defined keypad.

In addition to the V Cast Music service, this phone is also compatible with Verizon's V CAST Music with Rhapsody, which enables you to access this exclusive digital music service for RealNetworks and for MTV Networks. V CAST Music with Rhapsody delivers unlimited monthly access to music on up to three Rhapsody-compatible mobile phones and players and online on multiple PCs and Web browsers. In addition, customers who purchase music over-the-air are able to download the master copy of the songs or albums to their PCs free of digital rights management (DRM) software that restricts how and where music can be played.

The V Cast Video service enables you to stream or download video clips to your phone from a variety of news, entertainment, sports, and weather channels, including CNN, ABC News, E!, CBS Sports, The Weather Channel, and VH1.

Verizon's Mobile eMail gives you access to your Windows Live Hotmail, Yahoo Mail and AOL accounts so you can read, write, and reply. Access your address book, receive e-mail alerts and more, right on your Verizon Wireless phone. Getting on the Internet is easy using Verizon's Mobile Web 2.0 package, which allows you to read and send e-mails, exchange instant messages and view your favorite web content on your phone. Verizon's Get It Now wireless download service is also fully compatible with this phone. This pay-per-download service features application downloads, games and productivity tools. You can also personalize your handset with ringtone downloads using the Get It Now service.

With this GPS-enabled phone, you'll be able to access Verizon's VZ Navigator service (additional charges applicable) for voice-prompted turn-by-turn directions, heads-up alerts, local search of nearly 14 million points of interest in the US (such as landmarks, restaurants and ATMs), and detailed color maps. And Verizon's Chaperone service lets you easily locate your loved ones from your Verizon Wireless phone or PC in real time. After defining a zone, such as an area designating a school or summer camp, you'll be sent an alert via text message when the Chaperone handset enters or leaves the zone.

1.0 out of 5 stars Stay away from this phone, December 26, 2008

This review is from: Motorola ACTV Phone, Canary Yellow (T-Mobile) (Wireless Phone)

This phone has some serious issues which appear to be caused by very sloppy programming on Motorola's part.

Creating calendar events with reminders set to 30 minutes or more prior to the event will cause weird behavior:
-The phone will not remind you of the event, or will remind you of the event some 10 hour too late.
-The phone will spontaneously turn on during the night in some sort of overdrive mode and completely drain the battery - sometimes running the vibrate non-stop.
-The phone spontaneously turns off the vibrate+ring option and revert to ring only.

Regardless of the calendar setting, about one in 4 pictures taken will fail to write to the micro SD memory card.

In short - this is a piece of junk.

I'd also like to confirm the previous statement that the analog clock option is not available - despite the manual and all product photos implying it is.

2.0 out of 5 stars Not that happy! :(, December 14, 2008

This review is from: Motorola ACTV Phone, Canary Yellow (T-Mobile) (Wireless Phone)

I recently extended my 2 year contract with Tmobile and purchased a Motorola W450 or MOTO ACTV phone which I am not very happy with. My main problems with the phone are :

1. The manual states that the external display will display the time, battery strength etc but the external display turns off after around 20 seconds. There does not seem to be any settings in the phone to keep this screen on. This is useful because I can then use the phone as a watch as well. My previous Motorola v188 used to work like this.

2. The second issue is that there is no way to get the Analog clock on the external display that is featured on the front of the box! The clock option in the menu only has a digital and off option. This is not acceptable that a phone is advertised with certain features and then these features are not present on the phone.

3. The battery does not seem to hold charge well, sometimes I need to charge every day, other times it will go two days before a charge. I usually make 2-3 calls a day tops!

4. The keypad is not easy to use, hard to feel the buttons.

No luck getting the phone exchanged since the 14 days had passed! Would not recommend.

1.0 out of 5 stars GREAT paperweight...that's about it, April 20, 2009

This review is from: Motorola ACTV Phone, Canary Yellow (T-Mobile) (Wireless Phone)

Absolutely horrible phone! Problems range from freezing up on occasion, to deleting my contacts and pictures on more than one occasion, to taking anywhere from 4 min to almost NEVER when sending outgoing text messages, and lets not forget the "pressing the button and the option you were trying to open cancels out" quirk that it has.

If there was any phone I would throw out the window of my car into the river, this would be it.

Motorola....WHAT WERE YOU THINKING?!?!?
