Amazon.com Product Description

Built to last, the Motorola V365 is tough enough to withstand even the most rigorous lifestyle. Blurring the lines between business and media-centric phones, the V365 comes loaded with top communication and business features--such as Motorola's push-to-talk feature--and multi-media abilities for easy, on-the-go entertainment. With features like an advanced music player, a VGA camera with 4x zoom, high-speed Web browsing capabilities, and more, the Motorola V365 is an obvious choice for managing both work and play for the smart Cingular customer.

<b>Design</b>
The V365 features a sleek clamshell design with a large, high-resolution 176 x 220 pixel, 262,000-color screen. The outside cover of the handset sports a supplementary 96 x 80 monochrome display that can display time, call information, battery and signal strength, and more. Up and down buttons for volume control are placed on the left side. Most of the phone's features and onscreen menus are controlled by a five-way center button on the handset's control pad. A USB-capable data port is housed on the unit's right side, and there's a standard jack to accept universal hands-free headsets (as well as a headset for music listening). A microSD/TransFlash memory card slot is provided for data and music storage.

<b>Calling Features</b>
The V365 supports polyphonic ringtones as well as MP3 ringers, allowing you to use portions of your favorite songs to alert you to incoming calls. You can also assign pictures and ringers to your most common callers. 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 quickly call preprogrammed numbers, is built in, as is a vibrating alert. Meanwhile the phone's push-to-talk feature allows for quick communication with other Cingular Push-to-Talk contacts at the push of a button. A speakerphone makes it easy to talk without having the phone to your ear. Meanwhile, voice-activated dialing makes calling your friends, family, and associates as easy as saying their names. The V365's phone book can hold up to 1,000 contacts, while the phone's Bluetooth connectivity means that your favorite Bluetooth headset is fully compatible.

<b>Messaging, Internet, and Tools</b>
The V365 has all the bases covered when it comes to messaging and Internet connectivity. The phone features support for instant messaging, and there's also a built-in Web browser allowing you to find information on the Web with ease. And with support for EDGE data speeds, the V365 makes the mobile Internet experience fast and enjoyable.

The V365 comes with a built-in e-mail client (with support for POP3, SMTP and IMAP4 e-mail standards) and traditional text messaging, and video, picture, and sound messaging are also supported. iTap text entry, which is a technology that makes it easier to enter words and text on handsets, is built into the unit--a plus for mobile e-mail and text messaging users.

A number of handy software tools are bundled with the V365, including a voice memo recorder, a calculator, a calendar, and an alarm clock. You can also use the phone's Bluetooth capability to set up a wireless link with a Bluetooth accessory or to connect to a computer or hand-held device to exchange and synchronize data. The phone supports the SyncML PC synchronization standard, which can be used with Motorola's Mobile Phone Tools PC application to manage and synchronize contacts, calendar, and other data with your PC.

<b>Imaging and Entertainment</b>
With 5 MB of internal memory storage and a memory expansion slot (with support for up to 1 GB of memory), the V365 shines in the entertainment department. The phone's VGA (640 x 480) camera features a 4x digital zoom, image quality options, and an auto-timer so you can be in your pictures, too. Capture stills and then send them to your friends via MMS messaging or e-mail or to your PC via USB or Bluetooth. The V365 adds video capability, too, meaning you can capture short video clips and, just like photos, share them how you see fit. The phone also supports custom graphics for wallpapers so you can dress up the phone to suit your style.

The big news with the V365, though, is the built-in MP3 music player, which can queue up your favorite tracks from a memory card. Jam out to your tunes while you're on the go. And if you're into mobile gaming, the V365 has you covered. The phone ships with several games, and more are available via Cingular's MEdia service.

<b>Vital Statistics</b>
The Motorola V365 weighs 4.20 ounces and measures 3.58 x 1.81 x 1.14 inches. Its lithium-ion battery is rated at up to 9.17 hours of digital talk time and up to 300 hours of digital standby time. It runs on the 850/1800/1900 MHz GSM/GPRS frequencies. The phone comes with a one-year limited warranty.

Customer Reviews:

4 out of 5 stars Motorola v365 -- good deal.......2007-06-02

This phone has very good features that you WILL use:
Good voice quality and good volume settings, LONG battery life, crisp screen resolution, speakerphone is loud and clear.
This also has some good features you'd LIKE to have:
good bluetooth connectivity, MP3 player, good capacity on-phone memory, 2MPix camera, video camera, capacity, and microSD slot to use up to 1GB, USB connectivity.
These things will make you want to SMACK its makers/marketers:
USB connectivity requires extra software (and of course a cord) neither of which are included with phone (and Can run upwards of $50) -- it won't work without it. However, you can still get external files to phone via memory card or blue tooth.
A wire head (ear) phone connect looks like it takes a normal sized (2.5mm?) plug-- it doesn't.
Lots of internet functions -- be careful where you put your cursor.
PTT can easily be mistaken for a volume button, and appears to be a pay function.
Screen is where you put your ear; can get very oily.
Phone is not slim (this is not a problem for me but can be if you are used to things like Razors/etc)
When phone is not connecting well to the network, you will hear "electronic pinging," unlike the general fuzzy sounding static you nomrally hear.

Summary: Despite the longer list of complaints, this phone is actually a really good product if you're looking realiability, voice quality, and reasonable set of "newer features."

5 out of 5 stars A little big, but durable and reliable.......2007-05-02

This phone is not as fancy as other phones I have seen. The screen is not great like with Samsung, the camera is not very good and it doesn't have an MP3 player.

However, I don't have a LAN line and I use my cell phone A LOT. So, I needed a phone that was reliable and would not break easily -- this phone is good for that. It is basic, but works well.

PROS
1. Good reception. I have had one dropped call, but I normally have four bars.
2. Sound quality is clear and loud.
3. Durable. Phones like the Razer feel and look like they will crack/shatter if they are dropped. This phone feels like it can be dropped a few times and will still work.
4. Simple menu.
5. Good battery life.
6. Really good speakerphone. The speakerphone mic is really big on the back of the phone and it is loud.

CONS
1. This phone is thick. It is not huge, but the pictures on Amazon do not really show how big the phone is so you should look on another site and see it being held in someone's hand or a good side view to understand its size.
2. I don't like the Push To Talk feature because I will never use it, but the button is on the side of the phone and I keep thinking it is a menu or volume button. Whenever you push it, the phone will ask if you want to "turn on" the PTT feature.
3. The inside screen is a little small.
4. I wish it came in other colors.

All in all, this phone is a great choice if you really need a good phone and can live without all the extras. My biggest problem with this phone is really the size. However, while it is a bit bulky, it isn't very heavy.

4 out of 5 stars mostly good, a little bad.......2007-04-22

Firstly, this is a good phone. It's durable, decent battery life, and good features. The sound quality is also very good. The bluetooth is great.
Now my gripes...
You have to pay extra for the software to connect the phone to your computer. I can't believe this is not included right out of the box. The PTT (push to talk) button is in the worst place ever and is always getting accidentally pressed. This is particularly annoying because PTT is a pay service. It is a fat phone too, and wont fit in the cell phone pocket in my pants. The camera is so-so, but not unusual for most phones.
All in all, I am moderately satisfied with this phone. It's big, and no software was included, but it is reliable and durable.

5 out of 5 stars This phone is great all-around.......2007-03-11

I bought this phone straight from Motorola over a month ago now, and I haven't regretted one minute of it. It took me a week or so to adapt to Motorola features after having Nokias prior, but now it's smooth sailing. The speakerphone others have talked about is awesome - I have Bluetooth, but often I'll just click the speakerphone on in the car and talk easily. I suppose the phone is bulkier than most nowadays, but that really doesn't matter to me since I appreciate a phone I can handle and not feel like I'm going to break in half.

I can honestly say there's nothing I don't like about my Moto.

5 out of 5 stars Excellent Phone.......2007-02-18

Solid phone. I've yet to have a dropped call. Bluetooth connects effortlessly. The feel of this phone is most excellent. These other thin phones and my big hands don't blend well. I like the feel of the v365 in my hand. I can't say enough good things about this phone. I have had RAZR's, L2's, E62's, and Treo's... this is my favorite phone ever.
