The
new V635 is an enhancement of the Motorola
V620. The V635 reverts to a silver and black case instead of
the all-black case of the V620, but apart from that they are physically
very similar, being the same size and weight. It's quite a heavy
phone as clamshells go, but it's one of the best specified camera
phones available.
The
key addition is the new 1.2 megapixel camera with 8x digital zoom,
camera light and camcorder capability. This is a big step up from
the 0.3 megapixel (VGA) camera on the V620. The internal display
is the same as the V620 - it's a top-rate TFT display with 262k
colours and a large 176x220 pixel resolution. Both the internal
display and the camera are as good as anything you'll find on a
mobile today. The external display isn't quite of the same quality
- it's a CSTN display which can be difficult to read in bright sunlight,
and has just 4k colours, but this is not unreasonable for a secondary
display.
The
next most welcome feature is the addition of a TransFlash™
memory card in addition to the 5 Mbytes of internal memory. This
really lets you make good use of the multimedia capabilities of
the phone, especially the video recorder and MP3 player.
The
V635 also upgrades the GPRS connection to a high-speed EDGE connection,
which is ideal for downloading video and audio content.
Overall
it's hard to fault the V635. It's a phone that delivers on every
count, the only shortcomings being it's high weight and cost.
Features
of the Motorola V635 include:
1.2 megapixel camera with 8x digital zoom &
light
Video capture and playback
Internal display: 262,000 Colour TFT (176 x 220
pixels)

Kinda big for a clamshell but I think it's fine. Just the right

know how to get the best from it (let it run out completely the
first few times), and the camera is good. my only gripes are that

What ever you do don't get this phone. Compared with Nokia's everything
is difficult to find and do. The phone book has separate entries
for each number rather than associating them with one person. The
WAP service doesn't seem to work and even if you do manage to get

All in all this is a great little phone. When opened the earpiece
actually goes to your ear and the microphone actually sits near
your mouth. It's easy to use and you can personalise the shortcuts
and side buttons, which is handy. My only fault with the phone is
that is freezes on accasions when recieving the odd picture via
bluetooth. A great thing is that with transflash cards you can expand
the memory upto 256mb. The 256mb card can be bought for less than
£25 inc. delivery online. Great phone! Rating:

Futher to my review a couple of entries down, since writing that
I have found that the battery is actually quite good. When I was
charging it before I would occassionly check the battery status
and when it was at 6 then I would stop charging it, what you need
to do is leave it until it says 'charging complete' under the date
and that it when you will get the full power from it. As a medium
user, its lasted almost two days before it dropped a bar. Also if
you haven't discovered it already, please play with the Motomixer!
It'll give you 6 tracks to choose from. Once you have selected one
it'll break it down into 4 instruments eg, drums, bass, piano and
strings and let you remix the track the way you want. Obviously,
its not a a vital feature on the phone but it's a hell of a lot
of fun! One last thing, I noticed that a lot of people have talked
about what memory they've got. Me and my boyfriend bought our phones
a week apart from O2 with one of their online tariffs. Both of us
got loads of extra bits anyway but O2 included a motorola music
pack with even more extras including a free 128mb memory card!!
Not sure how long they'll be doing that for so snap them up quickly!

I've had this phone a few days now and i think its amazing. The
camera quality is outstanding (even seems better than my 2 megapixel
stand-alone digital camera!). The video recorder is just as good...although
when you transfer videos to your pc, the quality isnt fantastic.
The screen is very high quality compared to other phones with its
262K colours and high resolution. The best feature of this phone
(probably what i bought it for) is the massive memory you can add
to it. It came with an internal memory of 11MB and ive bought myself
a 256MB transflash card for putting my mp3s and videos on. The only
problem i had with this phone was working out how to transfer mp3
and videos to and from it, the program that came with it was confusing
to use but i got it eventually. I've taken full advantage of the
video player/memory capacity and put a whole season of family guy
on it - i'll never be bored on the bus again :) If your transferring
large files to your phone, i recommend that y ou get a SD card reader
rather than using the data cable because file transfer speed with

I had wanted a flip top phone for a couple of years but never found
something that really took my fancy. Well V635, come on down! Not
only is this phone stylish it packs in a lot of useful features.
I've previously been a nokia person so knew that switching to a
different make would mean it would take time to get used to the
new layout, however, the V635 was suprising quick to pick up. The
user interface is straight forward. The camera quality is outstanding
with lots of options to make your pics even better. The sound quality
for calls is superb. The thing that I really love though is that
it gives you a lot of flexibility to personal it so you really feel
that it is unique to you rather than part of a mass production!
The only niggles I have about it is the manual could be a little
more detailed. Sometimes I found that it would tell you how to do
something but not actually explaining what it is in the first place.
On Bluetooth, it has the option 'find me' but no pairing, so you
would prob need the other device to find you rather then you find
it. Also, the battery could last a little longer but then I suppose
it is powering 2 high quality colour screens. I know that people
have had some problems with it crashing or bluetooth not working
etc but if your considering buying it go for it. Faulty phones are
rare and returnable. Its worth the risk of having to send one back
because its a fantastic phone. Rating:

Where to begin. I've had the phone about a month. Have used many
different phones. Am switching from a Pocket PC phone so that I
can use the EDGE with my bluetooth pda. The camera is awesome. Takes
good pics and the MP3 player is nice. I did a search for '256 trans
flash'...got a good deal on that..the MP3 ringtones only work from
the phone's memory, and not the transflash...cut 'em up and make
'em smaller then move them to the phone's mem...a pain, granted,
but you always answer it before the whole thing plays anyway...keep
them around 30 seconds tops and you'll have about 256 K each...with
only 6 megs or so to play with, every bit counts..I have almost
a dozen loaded up (close to 100 tunes on the transflash though)
and it boogers me up when I go to check my email..always running
out of memory on the phone..wish I knew how to store the mails to
transflash...haven't figgered that out yet...I had to make a new
gadget though...I took the stock stereo headphones, cut off the
ear pieces and spliced it into a regular female headphone jack...sweet....now
I can plug ANY headphones in to jam to my mp3s and also use my car
adapters (cassette and FM), or external speakers to more fully enjoy
my music.....it's not the perfect phone, but it is definitely a
good one...it does a lot and has a lot of expandability by way of
java applets...the video recorder does sound too...an added bonus
and pretty unique for such a smally, stylish phone...seen one that

Supplied by Mobile.co.uk on Orange. Definatly the best phone I've
ever owned, the build quality is superb and though the menu system
isn't as easy as Nokia it takes less than a week to become competent
with. Besides that the camera is great (1.2 MegaPixels), nice selection
of features and quality settings. The flash is also one of the brighter
on the market. MP3 ringtones sound pretty good, the speaker doesn't
live up to my NEC616 but then 3 barred the phone from using mp3's
as ringtones anyway. My main grudge would be the side buttons which
occasionaly get pressed when in my pocket, though they don't end
up making calls the beeps annoying enough. Also Bluetooth discovery
isn't always on (you have to activate it then you get 60 seconds
to be found) so don't expect to receive random messages out at the
pub. You can still find others to send to mind! Looking forward
to expanding the memory at some point, already managed to fit an
episode of Family Guy onto the 16mb card by re-encoding to the screens
resolution so lots of fun to be had! All in all a great phone, mine

I got my V635 last week from O2 online. I was initially a little
frustrated with the menu system, as I've upgraded from a Sony K700,
which had a comparatively user-friendly interface. Now I'm a few
days into ownership I can honestly say I'm impressed with the phone
and the user interface is very good. The camera is one of the best
I've used on a mobile phone, easily on par with the Sony S700 (My
first choice for a phone, which O2 have pulled from their range
due to firmware issues). The MP3 player is very good, though a little
slow to initialise, very much like waiting for windows media player
to open in Windows XP. The supplied 32Mb card is more than enough
to get started with, in terms of media storage, though I have found
some 256Mb cards online which will make this phone a very usable
MP3 device too. Build quality appears to be excellent; the aluminium
casing should prove to be much sturdier than the all-plastic case
of the K700. I was surprised at the amount of kit that came supplied
with the phone - Stereo headset/hands free kit, software CD, PC
sync lead, bluetooth headset, memory card, split charging system
(for charging the phone and the bluetooth headset simultaneously)
and a hefty manual. I do however, have 3 (minor) complaints with
the phone: - 1. No SMS counter, which means I have to track my SMS
usage online with O2. 2. Read receipts don't work for sent text
messages. 3. There's no FM radio! Overall, this is an excellent
phone, packed with decent features for the medium to high user.
As with all previous Motorolas, new users should be careful with
their chargers and phone charging ports as they have a tendency
to fail after 9 to 10 months of usage. They aren't particularly
robust, so exercise a little care and attention when charging your
phone. Also, for those of you ordering your phones online be aware
that my V635 has been supplied with a faulty external screen that
doesn't work unless the clamshell is squeezed tight. O2 have sent
me a replacement without question or delay, but be mindful that
you may get a "Friday afternoon" handset. Rating:

After owning numerous Motorola phones and never having a problem
I decided that this was the one for me, and boy was I right! Its
a class phone, the features are great the feel and build quality
is excellent. One thing I do like about the Motorola menu is that
you can pin lock nearly every aspect of the phone. The phonebook,
text messages etc, basically everything can be locked to keep out
prying eyes. Well sorted if your cheating on your woman like I am.
One thing I would have liked to see is an option to turn off who
has sent the message as the senders name shows upon opening. Only
a small gripe though, on what is a fantastic piece of kit. I was
tempted to switch to another phone make when my contract ran out
after owning a V500 due to its poor camera but I'm so glad I didn't.

Got the phone for 2 weeks now and just wanted to give other people
the low-down: At the end of the day it is really a matter of taste
so just let me list the good and the bad points. First the good:
solid construction, even though the battery cover doesn't sit very
tightly. The keys are a joy to use, just feels nice. Good mega-pixel
camera, have seen better though (Sharp GX30i, SE S700i). Good sounding
MP3 player, need to uprade TransFlash memory card to 256MB to make
good use of it though. Use MP3s as ringtones AND message alert (unlike
Samsung and SE phones). Good reception quality, in fact this is
the first Motorola phone I have had to have no problems in this
area. Wallpaper picture appears automatically on outside screen
as well. Transparent menus, you can see your wallpaper through icons
and navigation items. Now the BAD: I actually cannot believe this,
but there are NO time stamps on incoming, outgoing or missed calls
- it just lists the number or name and that's it! The hot key on
the side of the phone is programmed to start the camera when the
phone is closed and you CANNOT change this - pressing this button
accidentally is very annoying. The Java MP3 player application doesn't
seem very stable - you can create playlists in the Sounds menu though
and play your mp3 in there. The outer screen only lists missed calls
and incoming texts for a short period of time, then it reverts back
to standby (showing digital clock) you have to press the side key
to check. Battery life is not very good - 3-4 days with minimal
use, 2-3 with medium and just a bit longer than 1 day with heavy
use. Very annoying bleeping that you CANNOT switch off when battery
is low. With all that said it is very solid and stylish phone and
definately one you want to be seen with. Hope this short review
is useful to anybody. Rating:

This is really the best phone I have ever had! It as all the features
you need eg. bluetooth, camera, 262k colour screen, an outer and
an inner screen, mp3 player, video and some good ringtones. I've
had a 4k colour screen (siemens SL55), a 65k screen (ericsson T610)
and now I have this 262k screen and you can really notice the difference.
The pictures are really clear and the videos are good too. The bluetooth
works fine and the mp3 player is quite easy to use and great quality.
I received the headphones and USB cable with the phone, didn't have
to buy them separately. Got a really good deal with 02 on the net.
I couldn't be happier, its a fab phone and I wouldn't trade it in
for another one! Rating:

Superb phone! Upgraded from Sony Ericsson T610; of which I only
miss the multiple phone numbers in one phonebook entry (something
that has been mentioned here a few times)...although this doesn't
detract greatly from the overall features. I received shed-loads
of extras with O2 contract (headphones, bluetooth HS, USB Cable
etc). Upgraded to 256MB Transflash card which is proving very useful.
Phone is robust, camera is excellent, transflash expanding capability
is great (and suprisingly cheap), mp3 player is very cool and by
transferring songs to phone can use mp3's as ringtones. Well happy,
well done Motorola! Rating:

problem. The menu should read SETTINGS>PERSONALISE>HOMESCREEN>HOMEKEYS,
you should then have options ICONS, UP, DOWN, LEFT, RIGHT, LEFT
SOFT KEY, RIGHT SOFT KEY, SMART KEY. With orange i do not have the

We've had this phone for less than a day, and we want to send it
back. It's difficult to set up, finding the option you want means
going through the most obscure menu system. The main buttons are
great, but the function buttons are poorly marked and very fiddly.
The buttons on the outside are far too sensitive - if you leave
it in a bag, they are constantly beeping as they get bumped. The
quietest ring volume is still far too loud. The look of the menus
is the same as my Samsung D500, but the way they work couldn't be
more different. We haven't tried the camera or actually making a
call yet, but I don't think this phone will be with us for very

I have owned nothing but Motorola mobiles and having recently upgraded
from the V500 I consider the V635 to be the best phone in the market
place right now mainly because the amazing removale transflash memory
card provides so much flexibility for storing mp3's, mpegs, jpegs
etc. I have an amazing collection of CD's on my card already, the
camera and video functions are easy and good quality. The inclusion
of the mobile phonetools software, USB cable and earphones makes
it truly good value. All it is missing is an FM radio and a GPS
option if you're reading this Motorola? Minor niggles - phonebook
separating individual numbers instead of storing under one profile,
minimum volume on MP3 player is still too loud, when a call ends
after interrupting an MP3 session there's no automatic return to
the music. None of them are serious issues and I'm sure the next
model will be even more sensational. Rating:

Let's start with the good stuff. The V635 has an impressively robust
design - far better build quality than the fashionable V3 RAZR -
and even stronger features. The main screen is bright, large and
has a good resolution to support the 1.2MP zoom-enabled camera (which
also has a decent video capture mode). The user interface is well
designed and highly customisable, and the keys are sufficiently
large to ensure that using this phone is not an ordeal for those
with big hands & fingers! Looking a little deeper, we find a couple
of decent pre-loaded games - "Golf" is a 3D game in which you can
earn points to upgrade your clubs and balls for greater performance
against a range of computer characters, and "Top Gun" is a vertically-scrolling
shoot-em-up which I found pretty difficult to play on such a small
games controller. Maybe I'm just getting old. The predictive text
seems to be pretty good for the messaging, although I can't find
any useful icons like I had on my Sony Ericsson (e.g. smileys).
One thing I do prefer about this phone is its volume - much louder
than my old T610 and not much chance of missing calls now! Plus,
the polyphony's pretty good. Unfortunately there are some aspects
I'm not so happy with. The phone book is poor and won't allow storage
of multiple numbers (e.g. home/mobile/work) under one profile -
you need separate entries for each number which seems silly. If
you place a call and get a busy tone, the "redial" button doesn't
seem to work - instead, you have to use three keys to hang up/access
recent calls/redial. Minor point maybe but sometimes it's a nuisance
if you're trying to get through for ages. The "received calls" menu
is also disappointing as there's no indication as to what time the
call was received - just the order in which they came in. Selecting
one of the entries, I tried hitting the button in the centre of
the 4-way controller thinking that this might give me further info
- but it just deleted the entry instead! Upon which I learned the
lesson that this central button replicates the functionality of
the right-hand multi-function button, though it's not always intuitive.
The alarm clock is nice and loud and I like the way you can set
up multiple alarms, but one annoying element is that, if the phone
is off when the alarm time rolls around, the alarm will sound but
there's no way to set a snooze. So, if you're using it to wake yourself
in the morning, you might want to keep the phone on overnight, which
isn't necessarily ideal. For me, the jury's still out on this one.
It's a good-looking phone with a decent build and a generally sound
UI, and I've generally found the signal strengths to be good. Battery
life is OK but nothing special though I do think people bleat about
this a little too readily (it's called "plug it in overnight!" No
great hardship). But for all its plus points, the design flaws are
irritating at times. Time will tell which of this phone's two personalities
will win through... Rating:

Thanks to the user reviews on this excellent website, which helpfully
warned of problems with earlier versions, e.g the V500 series, I
found that the V635 was the one for me. By taking advantage of Carphone
Warehouse's Price Match (against the Orange Shop), trade-in and
using Orange 120 tariff I paid a total of £10 up front for
the V635 which I've had for three weeks now. Seems to work well
with my newly purchased Parrot Driveblue Plug ~ Drive Bluetooth
unit www.driveblue.com and it paired instantly. As a Nokia user
looking for bluetooth and clamshell I consider it a natural sucessor
to the Nokia 7650. Coming from a Nokia background I was totally
unaware of the use of the menukey in a multitude of situations -
it's rather like a Windows right mouse click - and until it was
pointed out I couldn't find certain basic functions. Readers may
be interested in the V635 discussion at http://www.avforums.com/forums/showthread.php?p=1545430
One of the buttons on the outside is called the Smart key which
I couldn't find documenteted in the Orange manual except to call
it the Smart key in a diagram. It was causing me irritation whenever
it was accidently touched especially as I couldn't work out what
it was trying to achieve - Styles / Camera or what? Meanwhile I
found activating the Bluetooth link to the Parrot Driveblue device
in the car from the phone a pain as it required so many keystrokes
each time. I've now discovered that by using Personalisation of
the Home screen I can set the Smart key to be Bluetooth Link and
made the operation a lot simpler thus I've solved two problems in
one go as accidently hitting the Smart key now isn't a problem.
I've also changed the intial setting for the right soft key from
Video to Camera and moved the Settings icon to the centre (default)
on the main menu. Mobile phone tools Works OK here with Windows
2000. From what I'd previously understood I wasn't expecting a CD-Rom
or USB cable with the 635 when I purchased it however it's all there
and yes the software is indeed disguised as 'advertising pish'.
If your disc says 'mobile phonetools V3.0' in an oval on the right
just cancel the flash presentation and you should find it. However
don't expect to be able to load the software into a directory of
your choice. A couple of other points: When importing from Outlook
the address book splits different phone numbers etc. into separate
records. Also when doing a Back-up Mobile phone tools puts a CSV
file in the BVRP folder it created. May I suggest that to make this
review board even better users wait and add something rather than
post their opinions in the first couple of days of owning the phone.
Otherwise the 100 review cut-off prevents long term experiences
appearing. Rating:

I have just bought a Motorola V635 on an Orange contract having
had a Nokia 6600 for about a year. Although I have enjoyed the 6600,
I really prefer a flip phone and wanted a 1MB camera. After a lot
of research, including reading reviews on this excellent website,
and after trying the phone in my local Orange shop, I decided to
go for the V635. I've had a V500 before so I knew what to expect
and the V635 doesn't disappoint. The build quality is excellent.
It isn't the lightest of phones, but a bit of weight makes it feel
like a quality item and it's fitted together really well and feels
very solid. The external colour screen is great. The metallic material
used for the outer case feels good in the hand, and all the detailing
on the outside of the phone makes it look very desirable. Flip it
open and the layout of the keypad is superb, good to look at and
easy to use. The keys feel nice to use and have a positive action.
The internal screen is very bright and colourful, not the largest
of screens, but definately one of the best quality. The user interface
is typical Motorola. It may not be quite as straight forward as
Nokia's, but is simple to follow and use after a bit of practice.
The UI has been refined slightly from the one I used on the V500
and as a result is better to use. The phone book in particular has
received some welcome attention and now has a name search facility.
The 1MB camera and built-in flash are excellent, as is the built-in
video camera. The addition of a Transflash memory card means there's
plenty of space for storing photos, video and sounds. Messaging
works great, including MMS and email. The other great thing with
this phone is the RF. It gets a signal everywhere and really holds
onto calls well in areas where other phones cut out (it's worth
having that little stub antenna). Call and sound quality from the
earpiece and the loud speaker are about as good as it gets. So if
you want a good quality phone, that looks great, has all the latest
gadgets and gizmos (including bluetooth), and most importantly makes
clear sounding phone calls just about anywhere, then I highly recommend
the V635. I really believe it is the best 2G phone currently available,
and considering what it has to offer, can be bought for a reasonable
price on contract or sim free. I'm very happy with mine and I hope
this helps anyone else trying to decide whether to get one. Rating:

There are problems with the phone, Bluetooth doesn't work and the

The way the contacts are managed is not intuitive. There is one
missing feature which I find quite strange, the call log shows missed

look, i just want to say where you ALL CAN SEE that there IS, i
repeat THERE IS a way to have multiple numbers or phonebook entries
UNDER ONE NAME. PRIMARY CONTACTS. find that in the settings, and
then when you're in the phone book, you just hit left or right to
see the different numbers. i have 3 different work numbers in my
phone, ALL UNDER ONE NAME. it doesn't say my company's name 3 times.
only once. this is on all of the v series phones. i am SICK of reading
about people complaining about this when it says in the manual how
to change it!
