Hi there, I got this phone 2 weeks ago & I think its really great phone but I have one problem with it. Does anybody know how can I maximize video length with this phone? I already put 2 gigabyte memory card but it still doesn't work. When I go to the setting & change it to maximum, it only recording only 3 minutes maximum, please help me!

A great phone except the fact the battery runs down really quickly sometimes it doesn't even last a day!

This is a great phone. It looks sleek, easy to use & I have had no problems with the battery life at all as other people have stated.

I think the only down point is the volume, I love my music & I think the volume could have been a tad louder.

This phone has really been good to me & it's even better cause it comes in black. Enjoy.

All the features are very good but the fact that the battery is drained off so easily even when all the settings for Internet & Bluetooth as turned off. The only problem is there is a symbol that says 2.5g on my mums & I can't seem to get it off does anyone know what it is, as I think this might be what is causing the problem.

First phone had a faulty battery, having to charge every few hours. One 10min call to Vodafone to ask for replacement & lost a third of the battery life. Vodafone store did take off the 3G in case that was draining battery, & I had all the usual settings to conserve battery life, but that had not helped.

Second phone arrived yesterday 12th March. Battery seems OK but awful distortion on 4 out of 5 calls, again including 1 to Vodafone when it just died on me! So have asked for a different make & model. Given up on Motorola V9 which is a shame because I loved my old V3.

I received phone from Vodafone on Monday, great design, stylish & nice feel. The downside on design is the shiny casing picks up finger marks. I like the fact you can read messages without opening phone BUT battery life is atrocious. I have hardly used it for calls or texting & it needs charging after less than 24 hours. (I do have everything on minimum battery drain.) Also I cannot find how to turn off keypad tone & it is a very annoying loud click, could not discreetly text anyone without others hearing what you were doing. I am popping into Vodafone store today & if these issues cannot be resolved I will be asking for a change of phone.

I received this phone on the 29th Feb from Vodafone & was instantly taken with the design, excellent. Put the phone on charge & waited with anticipation. Initial impression in use was good but there it ended.

Copied contacts by Bluetooth & then went to set default numbers. I could not find any way to do this once the contact has been saved.

1st March charged phone again putting the short battery life down to my playing with the features & charged again 2nd March having made only a few voice calls. It needed charging again on 3rd March & is being exchanged today for a Nokia 6110.

I am assuming there is a fault with either the battery or the phones software which causes the battery to run down so quickly.

Tried this after the new PEBL U9 but really disappointed. I loved my old RAZR. Disgraceful battery life, 1 or 2 days, so big & heavy you need another bag to carry it & need to use 2 hands to text! It also has the new micro USB which means all your other kit is useless! It all works well enough but wouldn't sync to my PC (Vista) & couldn't find the software update online, what's the point? Again, like the PEBL, shows up every single fingerprint which is frustrating. I have gone back to using my old Krzr until a new Sony Ericsson arrives. Keeping fingers crossed.

Part 3: I too, have experienced the white noise from the earpiece speaker, once, while talking in the grocery store. The white noise only occurred when the caller spoke to me & it made it difficult to understand them. Everyone I talk to, when I use the handset, can hear me clearly in noisy environments, even that white noise day in the grocery store. I have been told by listeners that they can't hear me as well when I am on the speaker phone. One more gripe I have is that the phone can't multitask when I am talking to a caller. I couldn't access my contacts list to tell the caller a phone number.

The new razr2 v9m is excellent phone & a desirable phone.

Recently purchased two V9's for me & my wife. The phone is nice looking & easy to carry around, & everyone is always commenting on it with envy. After spending some time moving around the items I used most & setting the menu up, the phone is easy to get around in & easy to use. But audio quality on both phones suffers as well as reception. It is hard to speak with clients without constantly repeating the conversation while I am in a strong service area with full bars. The other end of the call gets a lot of white noise bursts while talking as well.

If you want a phone with WOW factor, V9 is it. If you don't intend to use the phone as a phone, sure, go for it. But I am looking for a phone, not a toy or something to flash around for everyone to say Oh! I need to be able to rely on my phone to make calls & receive them. The past two weeks for us have been frustrating with family medical emergencies, & we couldn't talk to doctors or family. We had to keep going back to our home phone to make calls. That includes both phones, not just hers or mine.

This is the first phone that has made it from the rest of the world to the US, without being stripped down & humiliated, this is the greatest phone I have owned & I have owned many.

Art II: After calling Motorola for a working copy (MPT 4.54c, 1 computer user license) of Motorola Phone Tools, which I had to download via a special link they sent me, I finally could sync the RAZR 2 V9 with MS Outlook via Bluetooth; however, using a USB/micro USB cable connection I could only connect to the phone as a mass storage device. I think the user license should be for at least 2 computers (work & home), another annoying Motorola customer relations policy.

Download of MP3 files to the 2GB micro SD memory card I installed in the phone via the USB cable connection from PC to phone is very fast. On the Sony Ericsson W600 via the 'Fastport' USB cable it took about 15 minutes to download 175MB of data; whereas it takes about 5 minutes using a USB cable connection to the V9.

The speaker phone performance on the V9 for the phone user is very good. It's loud, & clear. I've used it rarely in phone conversations, & haven't tested the 'Cleartalk' performance.

After 2 years with my Sony Ericsson W600 the user interface of the V9 is definitely less user friendly, & does not appear to be as thoroughly analyzed for user needs. I purchased the V9 as an upgrade through AT&T for $300, the same price as a 4GB iphone.

My primary criteria was a quad band phone, stereo Bluetooth 2.0 (A2DP, AVRCP), & most importantly, good microphone performance.

I was in the store testing the phone, & called my girlfriend while standing underneath a ceiling speaker playing moderately loud music. My girlfriend could hear the details in the tone of my voice clearly, with no background noise. I then walked outside to a busy 3 lane roadway & she could still hear me clearly. She said the voice quality is superior to any cell phones I called her with in the past, & insisted I buy it, so I did. I've called her from noisy environments several times since then, & I am amazed she says she can hear me clearly. So, yes, the 'Cleartalk' feature works.

I am hoping I can find a stereo-earbud style Bluetooth headset (with a FM radio receiver) that has the same voice quality performance. I have a Sony Ericsson DS970 that works ('name dial' works too) with the phone, but I miss having FM radio.

Having to pay extra for a headset & sychronization software is annoying (especially the software), when compared to what Sony Ericsson packages & support websites offer, which is almost feels like usury considering the relatively high price for this utilitarian featured phone.

I listen to about 1.5 hrs of podcasts a day, talk about 600 minutes & 5 MB of data per month. With this usage profile the battery is adequate for one full day, thus an extended battery option would be nice, as long as it didn't make the phone to thick (maybe an extra 2 or 3mm).

The HSDP network speed doesn't seem significantly faster than EDGE when using Opera Mini for Internet usage. Bluetooth file transfer speed seems the same as the W600 I had.

If you need a mobile phone that has excellent voice quality performance while using the handset in noisy environments, this phone is a good choice.

V9 is rubbish. It has clamshell design but its features are too old for our century. Motorola should try to improve on its camera, screen & some other features too.

It's a very practical all in one 3.5G mobile device, elegantly designed although very robust. Communication speed is amazing, it's a piece of art.

OK moto I got the V8 & its good had to wait long enough now I see you do same with the V9 hurry up & wait or are you trying to see how sales go I sure would request your moto authorized sales reps world wide to have more knowledge of your product try to buy one in china & see they do not know how to insert a battery in one. One reason went to Nokia N76 better prepared informative personnel.

This phone is great, & it's design is perfect, although I think that Motorola needs to improve the quality of the camera in its models.

Reviewer: Ann - Kota Kinabalu, Malaysia

Overall design was excellent & the colour was very special. Features wise it will be more simple & preferable if can add on 'dictionary function' like Nokia. If the colour screen can be improved to 16 mil instead of 262k will be more advantage. Among others brands I think so far V9 is the most slim 3G mobile phone flip phone.

The poster who said this phone is unusable is incorrect. Motorola phones are very easy to use. I am sorry that you haven't figured it out.

This phone will revitalize Motorola.

Very good features & design but since I don't have this phone I can't tell if is user friendly but I guess with the phone spec like my L6 it will be very easy to use. Two thumbs up to V9 & I wish I could have one.

This phone looks really good but from what I have noticed it is actually completely useless & is utterly hard to use. Sorry Motorola but this phone is bad. Only buy this phone if you want a phone that looks good but you can not use. I would rate this phone at 5/10 If it wasn't so good looking this would go down to a mere 2/10 the features are useless & it is impossible to use.

YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!
