Burning HOT! The Motorola V3x 3G phone from 3

This phone definitely has a high stylish factor. Performance wise, I hate the fact that most Motorola phones do not let you use Bluetooth to transfer images, sounds or basically anything. They are just defeating the whole purpose of having BT on the phone. I HATE MOTOROLA for that particular reason! Even though I still like their phone designs.









The volume, speaker (or push-to-talk) and camera buttons are on the sides, and at the back of the phone is the speaker. Once open, there is an internal camera between the screen and the keypad.


The keypad has a very good design, and can be cleaned quite easily and also easy to press. I particularly like the joystick keys in the middle as my Sony Ericsson K608i has a very poor joystick which often forces me to select something rather than moving down on a list of items.







The graphics on this phone is very nice. The phone has a 2.0 megapixel camera on the outside and can take fairly good pictures. This sushi photo is a default image but it was very clear and sharp on the big screen. (This phone still has some protector films on). When the phone closes I was surprised to see the image of sushi also appeared at the front too. It has colour as well which I'm quite impressed with that.


This is how big the phone is on my palm. These days the size of 3G phones have been reduced significantly. I still remembered my very first 3G phone from NEC (3 years ago?), it was like a mini computer (in a way it looks more like a futuristic talking device than a mobile phone).

Conclusion, I believe there are firmware patches lying around in the Internet which can re-enable the BT feature of this elegant mobile phone, and will make this phone a great gadget. But upgrading it yourself is entirely at your own risk and I would proceed with caution and knows exactly what I am doing.
