Reviewer: James Stevenson - Brooklyn, US

The Motorola v1050 is one of the best phones to have, but I just wish that it had the Bluetooth, & the skin setting where I can change the colour of the screen bar.

Bought this in September 2005, excellent phone, only downside is 'the lack of Bluetooth'. When I first opened the box I was surprised by the brick I struggled to take out. The design was quite bad. I hadn't seen a phone this size since the 1990's. I brought it back a few months ago because the flip-button kept sticking & when I opened it, the screen was blank. It was fixed very speedily & the software was updated. But now I am having the SAME PROBLEM! Really annoying! Another thing is that when you set the alarm, it doesn't always go off which I absolutely hated! Going to replace it soon with a 'slider Samsung', not sure which one yet, probably one of the cool touch sensitive ones.

Purchased from Vodafone online shop. Fine for 10 months then failed to charge. Vodafone take it in for repair, having been told it is probably the battery they refuse to take battery just the charger & phone. Vodafone replace power pack reflash phone needlessly & looses info.
Phone charges in shop with very flat battery but fails at home. Taken phone back they replace battery, it charges in shop & at home, but then fails to charge next day. Warranty now expired so really hacked off.

I bought this phone last September. Within 3 months the LCD screen turned completely blank & I couldn't do anything with it. I sent it back, it got repaired, I was happy. 7 months after having purchased the phone it completely stops charging. Again, I can't use my phone & have to send it back.
This is in addition to an alarm that usually does work, but sometimes doesn't & a volume switch on the side that also no longer works. I can't figure out why so many faults with one phone!
Would I recommend this phone to anybody? No.

I had this phone for around 6 months when the internal LCD turned white & now won't display anything! Please help! Any suggestions please?
Reviewer: Wis Bassey - Nigeria

I found this phone very attractive. However I came to realise that it doesn't support message delivery system, no Bluetooth or infra-red. However I love it. Keep it up
Reviewer: Martin - Auckland, New Zealand
Date: 25th Sep 2006
Only pity is infra red or Bluetooth, but with USB not a big loss. Location of small camera on outside is a bit close to the hinge & with the phone case on it folds over the lens, but on the whole a fantastic phone with a myriad of options. Well done Motorola

I think the Motorola v1050 is a nice phone to have, but I wish it could have Bluetooth & other accessories it should have been perfect.

Great mobile phone
Reviewer: Daniel - New Zealand

A brilliant fone. One of the best I've had! The only thing lacking is Bluetooth which for me is not a must have, but I love the phone. Well done Motorola

This was our teenagers dream come true. 6 months later the LCD has broken without any damage done to the casing. What a let down. One very careful owner now very miserable & going back to the cheaper options on the market.

Its a good fone im glad i have it
Reviewer: Cez - Manchester, UK
Date: 15th May 2006
This phone is one of the best that I have ever purchased, & for only £80 it's not a bad price either. The mp3 player is of the highest quality. I was very pleased with the screen resolution, & it is crystal clear. Although there are some reservations with this phone (mainly weight, battery life & the fact that there is no Bluetooth or infra-red) it is very reliable & worth the money that I paid.
Reviewer: Keith - Barkham, UK

Amazing phone without standing reception, but keep your eye on the battery as it runs out quite quick.
Reviewer: Anne Wilkins - UK
Date: 9th Feb 2006
There can't be a better user friendly phone on the market than this one it's so easy to use & compatible to use with the Internet, the screen is top notch as is the high sound quality & you will have great fun with the picture caller identification. It comes with SMS & MMS functions so if there was ever a mobile to have then this is it. Love it.
Reviewer: DJ Dave - London, UK

This is the business, one not to be missed. For you people out there who want to be hip then this is it, with all the latest functions & capabilities there will be no holding you back, feels good in the hand & looks so so hot you couldn't ask for more. Motorola Well Done
Reviewer: Westy - UK

I got given this phone as a present but I've got to be honest & say that it would not have been my first choice of phone, as it has not got Bluetooth. I am using it & really can not complain.
Reviewer: Asiif - Leeds, UK

Da coolest fone man get one. A wicked bird puller the chicks luving me. Haaaaaaaa

You will find this phone a little on the heavy side but don't let this put you off as the good points out way this small bad point.
Reviewer: April Howie - UK

Another phone that has battery issues. I have had two of these now & this one will be returned as quick as the last one. Bye bye vodaphone Motorola v1050. Love this site think I will try the Sony Ericsson w800 after finding this site & the cool reviews. better get back to work now
Reviewer: Diane - Hawley, UK
Date: 19th Jan 2006
I think this phone is cool but find it hard to believe that Motorola have not incorporated Bluetooth or Infer-Red. Having said that I would also like to say that overall it's quite a nice phone although a little on the heavy side.
Reviewer: Norman - UK

sound is the best - music none stop
Reviewer: Nathan Giles - Byfleet, UK
Date: 10th Jan 2006
This phone has all the latest features so check them out. The one thing that it lacks is Bluetooth, which it doesn't have. A real shame!
Reviewer: Imran - UK
Date: 7th Jan 2006
Great mobile, having great fun downloading video clips from the Internet which is really easy to do on this model. You will appreciate the MP3 player, the sound quality is first class so you can download all the latest hits. How cools that. With the TransFlash external memory card there's plenty of memory to store all you require. I've downloaded so much music I have my own mobile disco. Brilliant.
Reviewer: Tony - UK
Date: 6th Jan 2006
Well impressed with this phone.
Reviewer: Emma Johnson - UK
Date: 4th Jan 2006
The look of this phone will give you loads of street creed but as to the usability I think you can buy a lot better, the screen is clear enough & you will find it very easy to use but beware the battery life is terrible. You'll find that you are forever putting it on charge some times it feels like it's on charge more than you are actual using it.
