Motorola V220 review from United States of America
"A cheap, reliable bare bones phone"
What things have gone wrong with the mobile phone?
Bumped into a pole and broke the outer screen.
Camera died for no reason.
Antenna fell out.
General comments?
The phone was an upgrade from my v180, but it had problems of its own. For example, it took some getting used to as this phone is very small and difficult to hold the first few times.
The camera is also lousy, both in quality of picture and quality in general.
The outer screen is easily broken and the antenna fell out on me.
Once I got used to the phone though, it served me well and was reliable as far as text messages and phone calls go.
A good choice for a cheap, reliable phone that will be used mainly for talking or texting, instead of the frills like the camera.
