Product Description
The Motorola V190 brings new style and panache to everyday communications. With an ergonomic form, unbeatable talk and standby times, a vibrant color display, and MP3 ringtones the Motorola V190 delivers the best of the basics in a hassle-free, affordable and fun package.
Amazon.com Product Description
Billed as an entry-level phone, the Motorola v190 is actually a feature rich handset with quad-band global coverage capability. A speakerphone, instant messaging, MP3 ringtones, dual displays, USB connectivity and gaming support are all here-- a significant step up from entry level phones of the past. Design
The phone features a sleek clamshell design with a large 128 x 160 color display with 65,000 colors. The outside cover of the handset sports a supplementary 96 x 32 monochrome display that can display time, call information, battery and signal strength, and more. A stub antenna is placed on the top right side of the unit. Up and down buttons for volume control are placed on the left side. Most of the phone's features and on-screen menus are controlled by a five-way center button on the handset's control pad. Meanwhile, there's a USB-capable data port for data connectivity (the USB connector also supports charging), as well as a standard jack to accept universal hands-free headsets. Calling Features
The V190 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 ringer and Picture ID functions let you assign ringtones and pictures to your most common callers. For those time when you want to be silent and discreet, the V190 has a vibrate ringer mode. Plus, a built-in speakerphone makes it easy to talk without having the phone to your ear. Voice activated dialing makes calling your friends, family and associates as easy as saying their names. Messaging, Internet, and Tools
The V190 has all the bases covered when it comes to messaging and Internet connectivity. The phone features support Wireless Village instant messaging (carrier messaging charges may apply). There's also a built-in web browser for wireless downloads and mobile web browsing. Traditional text messaging, as well as picture and sound messaging are also supported by the phone. iTap text entry, which is a technology that makes it easier for people to enter words and text on handsets, is built into the unit-- a plus for mobile email and text messaging users. A number of handy software tools are bundled with the V190 including a calculator, a calendar, and an alarm clock. The phone also supports the SyncML synchronization protocol, so you can sync it with your PC-based calendars and contacts. Imaging and Entertainment
The V190's USB connectivity can be used to transfer pictures, sounds and graphics to the phone's memory from your PC. Screensavers, themes and wallpapers can be set to your tastes. And the phone is Java enabled, meaning it supports games and application downloads written on the Java platform. Vital Statistics
The Motorola V190 weighs 3.46 ounces and measures 3.37 x 1.81 x .91 inches. Its lithium-ion battery is rated at up to 10.8 hours of digital talk time, and up to 542 hours of digital standby time. It runs on the 850/900/1800/1900 MHz GSM/GPRS frequencies. The phone comes with a one year limited warranty. What's in the Box

This is an excellent basic phone. No complaints whatever.
Not many bells or whistles, but does averything that you want
a phone to do. Very good sound quality. Screen very legible . Comes with a good selection of standard utilities that do everything that I want a phone to do, and a lot of things for which I have no use on a phone(sending faxes, internet browsing, etc). The phone has been extremely reliable, no problems whatever and has worked perfectly at all times.
This is a phone that works on the GSM system. There is no problem with GSM service anywhere in Canada where I live. European SIM cards for it are readily available, which allow for very economical local use in Europe thus avoiding very expensive roaming charges. I have had no problems with GSM service when I am in the USA, but can only speak for the northeastern USA.
This is a mobile GSM phone It does not have bluetooth, it does not
have a camera. It is not an MP3 player. But it is extremely good at the basic function of any telephone : sending and receiving phone calls. Additionally, it has excellent sound quality and has been 100% reliable.
As far as I am concerned, for what I want a mobile phone for, it has
turned out to be a most economical and an excellent choice. Highly
recommended.

Pros:
Battery Life (with the 1100 mah battery probably the best for a cell phone)
Display brightness and color
Key spacing and tactile feel
Signal sensitivity (much better than my other high end Nokia 6126, having a stub helps with signal reception vs those which attempt to hide the antenna)
Smart Keys (make key functions for you accessible with one button - calculator, recent calls, etc.)
Voice Dial (pretty good for a basic phone, but limited to about 7 contacts)
Built like a tank (durable)
Highly visible outside screen (even in bright sunlight)
Not having to work in all the other gimmicks (camera, MP3) allows more focus to be placed on basic phone feature quality.
Cons:
Functionality of datebook limited (ex. can't repeat item for a limited number of days)
Speakerphone not that loud
Can't list multiple #s under one person's name in phone listings. (fax, cell, work, etc.)
Graphics not that elegant but functional
User manual really doesn't cover the more subtle functional capability of this phone.
Overall, the best buy in a basic flip cell phone. A steal at $40 - $50.
Obviously not for the person who wants a camera, radio, MP3 player, photo album, etc., etc., etc.
Note: unlocked phones will only provide voice and text messaging services on any GSM network. The service provider has to set them up to provide multimedia, web access and other services. Many low end unlocked phones are last year's new but excess inventory for a service provider and will have their logo and service icons on the phone. This is typical. You also need the user manual for the manufacturer set PIN and other security #s to initially access the phone's functions. User manuals can be found online at the manufacturer's web site.
BEST!!! June 25, 2006
