Motorola V171

 

The device has the dimensions of 87x45.6x22.7 mm and weights 87 grams. It has an external antenna and that is characteristic for today low-end solutions. There are no any problems with carrying the model; the quality of the plastic is standard for this...

There is an insertion with the number of the device on the front panel and external screen is absent here. There is a charger connector on the bottom end and a service indicator is also here. A headset connector may be seen on the top end of the...

Target markets are not clear at this point, but the V150 sells widely outside the US to prepay and budget contract customers. The V171 is expected sometime in the second half of 2005.

Bought this hunk of junk for $20 literally! and well it's pretty crap. Texting is hard (Especially since it's different to other motorolas like the L6's!) but that's basically all I use it for. Just a replacement till I get my new one, it's not even...

good starter phone, good battery life, phonebook capacity , text messaging, cheap

bad screen, no front screen, missing many feautures including camera, menu takes forever to load, tears up easily over time
