Motorola V551 review from United States of America
"Good phone... when I first got it"
What things have gone wrong with the mobile phone?
Camera doesn't take good pictures, it's always weird colors or dull looking.
The bumpers to stop the screen from hitting the keys don't do what they're supposed to.
The talk time on the battery is short.
It malfunctions and like goes crazy, the screen turns black, then white, and the phone like resets itself.
When using the internet, phone sometimes blacks out and resets.
Doesn't store pictures right, it turns them blurry; this after making sure it was set up right.
Vibration isn't strong enough, most times I don't even know its going off until I hear the noise.
Doesn't have as long a battery life as they claim.
Can barely hear what people are saying on other end, and they can't hear very well unless the speaker phone is on.
General comments?
It has great cell phone reception.
I like my phone, but it is a pain when you have to shut off the phone and turn it back on just to make things work.
Overall, it was a good phone, but I'm ready for a new one!
