Amazon.com Product Description

An updated version of the venerable V325, the V325i includes an important piece of modern wireless technology; Bluetooth capability. Other features include speaker-independent voice recognition, which allows you to dial a number by speaking the name of a contact, or by speaking the digits of a phone number. When this voice technology is used with the two-way speaker phone the V325i allows for true hands-free operation. If you're in your car a lot, this is the phone for you.

Design
The phone features a traditional clamshell design with a large LCD display that supports over 65,000 colors. Most of the phone's features and on-screen menus are controlled by a five-way center button on the handset's blue backlit control pad. The V325i's stylish design includes a unique light-up outer bezel, and a comfortable rubberized case that not only contributes to its sexy look but helps ensure you always maintain a solid grip on your phone. The unit houses a stub-extendable antenna, a built-in mini-USB port, and a standard jack to accept universal hands-free headsets.

Calling Features
Robust calling features are at the heart of the V325i. Speaker-independent voice dialing allows you to make calls without ever touching the device. The V325i's built-in address book can store up to 500 contacts, with up to six numbers per name, for quick and easy management of phone numbers and email addresses. In addition to having a discreet vibrating alert, the phone supports both 72-chord polyphonic and custom MP3 format ringtones, which means you can really jazz up your incoming calls with cool tunes. The V325i also allows assigned ringer and picture IDs so you can easily identify incoming calls from your address book by a glance at the screen, or from across the room. A built-in two-way speakerphone makes it easy for you and others in the car to talk hands-free.

Because the V325i is Bluetooth enabled, wireless headsets can be configured with the phone for total handsfree operation. Meanwhile, the V325i's GPS location technology pinpoints your exact location when you dial 911, and allows you to take advantage of Verizon's VZ Navigator service so you will never get lost again. Perhaps most importantly for users in rural areas, the V325i is a tri-mode phone, meaning it can operate on Verizon's digital networks, as well as analog networks that serve many outlying areas.

Messaging, Internet and Tools
The V325i covers the messaging basics with support for sending and receiving text and graphics via messages. Getting on the Internet anywhere is easy with the V325i, as well. Verizon's optional Mobile Web package allows you to read and send e-mails, exchange instant messages and view your favorite web content on your phone. You can check your e-mail, trade stocks online, compare prices while shopping, access flight information, get movie listings, and find directions to the theater.

Verizon's Get It Now wireless download service is also fully compatible with the V325i. This pay-per-download service features application downloads, games and productivity tools. You can also personalize your handset with ringtone downloads and digital photo-sharing tools using the Get It Now service.

The V325i ships with a calendar and a voice memo application, as well as an alarm clock and a calculator.

Imaging and Entertainment
The V325i includes a powerful digital camera with a 640 x 480 VGA resolution that features a 4x digital zoom, as well as a self timer so you can even be in your own best pictures. This unit also features customizable theme colors, screen backgrounds, fonts and caller ID graphics and pictures so you can make your phone reflect your personality. Games and other applications are available via the Get It Now service.

Vital Statistics
The Motorola V325i weighs 4.09 ounces and measures 3.58 x 1.93 x 0.94 inches. Its lithium-ion battery is rated at up to 195 minutes of digital talk time, and up to 200 hours of digital standby time. It runs on the AMPS 850, and CDMA 850/CDMA 1900 frequencies. The phone comes with a one-year limited warranty.

Note: The V325i supports handsfree Bluetooth systems. It does not support all Bluetooth object transfer (OBEX) profiles.

Great phone, except it's Verizon.......2007-05-07

originally needed a good no-nonsense phone without a camera, for Fed Govt work. Bought a Moto W315. Verizon turned off half the functions listed for the 315 on the Moto site, so I took it back. Decided to live with having a camera phone, and selected the 325 upgrade [at no cost] to match the 80 bucks worth of batteries and chargers I bought for the 315, and now I'm very happy with the V325i.
I like to personalize a phone, so I needed Moto Phone tools to work. I found that Verizon turned off file transfer capabilities in the codeplug, among other things It upsets me that I have to hack my phones to get them to do what they are built to do, but, there it is. One SEEM edit later and I have everything I need, phonebook backup and custom tones, pics, and calendar.
The phone has outstanding coverage compared to the LG I had last, and it's solid, tough, and businesslike. I don't like that they lowered the RAM from 64M in the 325 to 32M in the 325i, but, I think it'll do me.
The only complaints I have are 1) the menu structure is clunky and difficult, and 2) the side button are easily accidentally pressed in the phone holster, risking turning off the ringer and missing calls. also, the speaker volume is not loud enough, I have trouble next to server racks full of cooling fans.
Overall, a good phone, after the unlock, but still looking for the perfect cell.

Good phone but some glitches.......2007-04-10

This is my first time with Verizon after years with Nextel. As far as the service there's no comparison. Nextel was the worst I have even dealt with. This phone has a signal everywhere I have been and that's a big plus. I have not experienced any of the freeze up problems others have had and I don't find the navigation very cumberson; again because I'm used to Nextel. The one compaint that I do have, and it's a big one for me, is that the phone does not ring thru a standard headset. I ride a motorcycle most times and my intercom system on the bike has phone hook-up capability. I just plug it in to the standard 2.5mm headset jack and I can talk thru the headset in my helmet. The problem with this phone is that the "ring" does not go thru the headset. The only way I know if someone has called is I hear them saying "hello, hello" on the other end when the phone auto-answers. Every other phone I have had rings thru the headset. Neith Verizon or Motorola will take responsibility for this although both say the function should work.

Good basic phone.......2007-03-06

Pros: Simple basic phone, good design and size, retractable antenna, good battery life (so far)

Cons: bad UI, using calendar is tricky

This is a good phone for basic users who are not looking for all kinds of fancy features. With this phone I finally get a strong signal from verizon that I didn't get from my older LG VX6000 phone. The speakerphone is quite loud. So far it has had good battery life.

Verizon selfishly installs its BREW interface over all their phones that suppresses the phone's capacity. The UI of this phone is very bad, but I think that is verizon's fault and not Motorola's. Furthermore, their Get It Now applications are totally useless and I couldn't find even one with a serious purpose.

Okay phone.......2007-02-25

This is my first phone. It's a good phone, but some things are pretty bad. Everytime I change the background on my phone, it freezes and I have to turn it off and back on again. It takes forever to load. It takes about a minute and a half for it to turn on. It also scratches VERY easily. The antenna is very easy to break and you can unscrew it very easily. But, the picture quality is very good compared to some of my friend's phones. It's a nice phone, but it's not really that great.

Awful phone.......2007-02-04

I bought this phone because I'm clumsy and thought the rubbery exterior would keep it from breaking or scratching. That much is true. However...

1. The menu layout makes no sense and is slow! I'm used to phone-typing very fast and this confuses the phone.

2. The default settings are counterintuitive. E.g., for text messaging, it's automatically on Abc instead of iTap English. It's a pain to change it every time.

3. The battery life has significantly declined in the 6 months I've owned it. One full charge only lasts about 2 days with a few conversations.

4. Camera quality is very poor.

I regret switching from LG to Motorola!
