Mobiles Review

This Motorola V276 review is based on a technical analysis of the cell phone’s technical specifications, it doesn’t constitute an actual hands-on review. It outlines the strong and weak points of the Motorola V276. The strongest points are listed with a sign while the weakest points have a sign before them. This Motorola V276 analysis is generated automatically based on our specifications for that phone and since manufacturers do not always detail technical specifications clearly, some information may be missing.

Weight and Size: The Motorola V276 weighs only 3.9 oz. This is rather lighter than many ther phones and should make it comfortable to carry around.
Camera: It includes a camera (VGA), which is not necessary but may be handy and make your experience better.
Phone Book: It can store 500 phone book entries.
Built-in Speakerphone: It includes a built-in speakerphone, which will prove useful in a car or in other situations where you need to use your hands while talking.
Battery Performance: It has only a maximum rated standby time of 150 hours and a talk time of 175 minutes, and it may be too low for your needs, especially if you travel a lot and plan to use your cell phone often.
Color Display: The color display’s color mode is 65,536 and its resolution is 128 x 128. A color display helps for browsing the wireless web or viewing pictures and, of course, the larger it is, the better the experience and, the more colors, the better your pictures will look.
Analog Roaming: It supports analog roaming. Analog is the older North-American cellular technology, however North-American networks are increasingly converting to large digital-only networks, which makes analog a not-so-useful feature (check coverage maps for your area to discriminate on that aspect).
Bluetooth: It is Bluetooth-enabled, which is an interesting plus. Bluetooth is not really necessary but may be handy if you want to use a wireless headset or exchange data with your (Bluetooth-enabled) laptop, for instance.
Infrared: It doesn’t have an infrared port. Infrared is convenient, especially if you own a laptop (most laptops are infrared equipped), you can then use your computer to transfer contacts, ringtones or pictures (if the phone supports these functions) to the Motorola V276.
Text Messaging: It features a special way of typing text, either a full keyboard or some predictive text entry method such as T9 or iTAP. This will be useful if you need to send short messages: it’s much faster.
Voice Note: It includes voice notes . A voice note system is pretty useful to make quick notes and reminders while on the road.
Free Custom Ringtones: I don’t have enough information on this phone to know if it can accept free ringtones, which means that you may not be able to add free ringtones, you may be stuck with using your carrier’s paid ringtone service. If that matters to you, many other phones allow you to do it yourself and for free, which makes a difference if you’re serious about personalization. To help assess this phone’s behavior with ringtones, check out the ringtone compatibility list.
