(More customer reviews)Motorola has done well with their triplets series phones and the v505 is no exception. Like the v600, v400 and v300 the v505 offers great features in its clamshell design. Exterior has a great look and feel to it with the rubber like feel on the outer rim and nice looking dimpled metal plate. Outer lcd shows time when not in use and caller ID when recieving a call. Ring styles can also be changed without having to open the phone. This feature can also be locked to prevent accidently changing ring styles. Inner screen has great color, something Motorola has always done well with. Its 176x220 size screen is great for displaying your favourite wallpaper or scrolling thru the various menu options. Menu options are typical Motorola layout that unless you are used to take a little bit of patience as Motorola manuals are never comprehensive or easy to follow. The camera is not bad for quick 'moment' pictures but do not rely on it for those family vacation pictures. Call quality and signal reception is great but will have a lot to do with where you are located. With the right software, pictures and MP3 songs can be downloaded into the phone and bluetooth makes this even easier. Used along with a bluetooth headset the phone is advanced as they come. The Speaker-phone is loud and clear and works well if you want to put the phone down while on a call. Battery life depends on how you use the phone but has been good for me.
Overall a great phone by Motorola. Glad Amazon finally released the unlocked/unbranded version to this phone originally only offered by AT&T. Just pop in your SIM card and the phone is ready to use.

The outside cover of the handset sports a supplementary 96 x 32 blue monochrome display that can display time, call information, battery and signal strength, and more. The VGA camera lens and self-portrait mirror is housed above this display. A stub antenna is placed on the top right side of the unit, next to the phone's headset jack.

Calling Features The V505 allows you to assign pictures to your most common callers. It also supports polyphonic ringtones as well as MP3 ringers, allowing you to use portions of your favorite songs to alert you to incoming calls. A number of ringtones come preloaded on the phone and there's even an included application, MotoMixer, that lets you mix your own ringtones. Speed dialing, which allows you to call pre-programmed numbers with one button is built in, as is a vibrating alert. A built-in speakerphone makes it easy to talk without having the phone to your ear. Voice activated dialing makes calling your friends, family and associates as easy as saying their names.
