I have had this phone for 6 years now. I know I need a new phone, which I am getting on Saturday (I don't know which phone to get! Ahh).
People have given this phone such bad reviews I love my phone. I admit I had to get it serviced once because the video camera wasn't working but when I got it back the voice recorder did not work & hasn't since.
The battery life is great it lasts about a week maybe more?
I know NOBODY rates this phone since there not making them anymore but I need help I don't know what Sony Ericsson to get for my bday! HELP!
P.s I love this phone.

Bought the V550 about two years ago (call me old fashioned but remember the days when things used to work longer than a couple of years! ). Whatever you do, don't try & use another Motorola charger which appears to be compatible, (from a phone the next model up) to charge it. A steady demise will occur. I had been used to Nokia, where this doesn't seem to be a problem. With Motorola, apparently the chargers are model specific? the phone was damaged & wouldn't charge consistently afterwards.
Also, over the last week I have noticed a volume issue. Can't hear people when they call (& yes, I've checked the volume levels & settings! ). Bluetooth also not great, since new. All in all, the phone was good for a short period, but don't buy one second hand, I would say.

I've had it for two years now & it's been fine, a few minor setbacks as the volume adjust button no longer works & the 2 key is now quite faulty as I have to press it harder. But all in all it has lasted me well & I am getting a new fone soon. A good, reliable phone!

If it's a choice between this phone & a tin can TAKE THE CAN. My wife had 3 brand new handsets & one handset was at workshop twice all in the space of 18 months. It has all the appeal of a nice phone & some nice features but beware of gremlins, a missed call & no-one rang, changing speaker volume, turning itself off & poor microphone pickup. Enjoy the tin can without the hassle!!!

This is a good phone for the price, & it is easy to use, but with all the Motorola phones the Bluetooth is not that good! I think Motorola would be perfect if their Bluetooth was stronger.

I have had the Motorola V550 for almost a year now & it is cracking phone. A really compact & reliable phone & it's easy to operate. I don't use my phone every day & don't use all of the features but I am very happy with most the features I use on this phone.

Reasonably priced phone with average quality features, nothing special but OK.

Battery life is not up to much & I gave my V550 to my younger sister. She is happy with it & loves the camera & ringtones. Not my ideal phone but it suits a 13 year old girl.
Reviewer: Suzie - Tadley, UK

I had the Motorola V550 before I got the Motorola PEBL but that is another review. The V550 was a low priced phone that served a purpose but it was not one of my best buys. The battery ran out very quickly, the sound quality was poor, the camera was blurred, but for the price what did I expect? It was a good budget phone & hard wearing, never gave up on me.
