Amazon.com Product Description

With video playback, gaming, multimedia messaging and a VGA camera with digital zoom, the Motorola V220 is an affordable and powerful way to get in on all the mobile fun. It's the perfect companion to Cingular wireless service. What's more, it's a quad-band phone with global coverage support.

Design

Click the image to get a closer look at the V220's features.

The phone features a sleek clamshell design with a large 128 x 128 color display with 65,000 colors. 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 is housed below this display. A stub antenna is placed on the top right side of the unit. Volume buttons are placed on the left side, as is a USB port for data connectivity. Most of the phone's features and on-screen menus are controlled by a five-way center button on the handset's control pad. There's a standard jack to accept universal hands-free headsets on the bottom of the handset, next to the phone's charging port.

Calling Features
The V220 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 more ringtones can be downloaded from Cingular's MEdia service. There's even an included application, MotoMixer, that enables you to 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.

Messaging, Internet and Tools
The V220 features support for instant messaging applications (Cingular messaging charges apply). There's also a built-in web browser for MEdia downloads and mobile web browsing. Cingular's MEdia service lets you receive and send emails, read news headlines, get weather updates, download games and ringtones, and more. Traditional text messaging, as well as picture and sound messaging (MMS) are also supported by the phone. When used in combination with the phone's built-in camera, MMS opens up a whole new world of messaging fun. iTap text entry, which is a technology that makes it easier for people to enter words and text on handsets, is built into the unit-- a plus for mobile email and text messaging users.

A number of handy software tools are bundled with the V220 including a voice memo recorder, a calculator with currency converter, a calendar and an alarm clock.

Imaging and Entertainment
The V220's USB connectivity can be used to transfer pictures, sounds and graphics to the phone's 1.8 MB memory from your PC. Screensavers, themes and wallpapers can be set to your tastes. The V220 is Java enabled, meaning it supports games and application downloads written on the Java platform. The phone ships with a single game, Bejeweled, and additional games are available via the MEdia service. For extra gaming fun, the phone is haptics enabled, meaning the phone's vibrate system is activated by crashes or other events in games. The V220 also supports MPEG4 video playback. Load video clips from your PC or download them from a wireless web provider and enjoy video on the go.

The phone's built-in camera features VGA (640x480) resolution and a 4x digital zoom for getting great shots on the go.

Vital Statistics
The V220 weighs 3.76 ounces and measures 3.29 x 1.73 x .94 inches. Its lithium-ion battery is rated at up to 7.2 hours of digital talk time, and up to 380 hours of digital standby time. It runs on the 850/900/1800/1900 MHz GSM/GPRS frequencies. The phone comes with a one year limited warranty.

Buyer Beware!.......2006-10-17

The camera's zoom features went out after 2 months. Now, 18 months later the camera no longer works, but I didn't use it all that much to begin with. The reception is pretty lousy and I had the typical commerical ad happen to me when during the WORST time it could happen, it went completely DEAD! As of now, I can call manually and receive calls but heaven forbid it goes into voicemail. The battery won't stay charged,the screen won't work (I get nothing but transposed gibberish)and I can't retrieve any info. I thank God my contract will be up soon. This phone is a piece of JUNK. PHOOEY!

Great phone! Until it starts messing up..........2006-08-12

I had this phone for nearly a year with no problems, aside from the camera inexplicably stopping working. A few months ago the battery on the phone started draining within 8 hours of being fully charged. I sent for a replacement and within a few weeks it started doing it again, but this time it shuts off randomly.

My brother got the same phone as me and within six months his battery was being constantly drained. He also sent for a replacement, which has worked until recently, when he started having problems with not being heard on the other end.

All in all, this phone isn't worth the trouble. It will work great for awhile, then it won't, and depending on your provider, you'll be stuck with a crap phone and another year on your contract.

JUNK!!!.......2006-08-06

Do NOT by this phone. One of the worst. Freezes up, the camera does not work. BAD SERVICE

Cool Phone!!*****.......2006-06-29

The Motorola V220 is the phone of the year. It is small,sleek, and has very nice features. I had the V188 which is very similar to the V220. I rate this phone (v220) 4 stars!!!!!!!!!!!!

DON'T BUY THIS PHONE. AMEN!.......2006-06-16

I have had this phone one year and two months, with a one year warranty. It was great until the warranty expired. I have excellent service with Cingular, but the phone is BAD! I've also heard other people (3) say they had problems with their V220 also. First, the camera went out. Then two weeks later, I started seeing horizontal lines across my inside screen. The outside ID still works, but NOW, the inside screen is either, black or white OR multi-color with so many horizontal lines, that I cannot function anymore. I can't access my address book and not all info is on my SIM card... guess I've lost some valuable information. I've been a faithful Motorola customer for 5 years. I'm considering going to Sony.
