| 524305 | 2007-02-13 02:46:00 | Hi everyone, just had vodafone offer me a Motorola V3x if I change plans- the new plan will cost me about the same, only as a You Choose I have to commit for 24 months (why can't they just say 2 years?! :rolleyes: ) . What I'm wondering about is whether the new phone is actually any good- vodafone shops are a bit of a pain when it comes to having working models to hand (hell, one showed me the phone I would love to have, nearly three times the price- doh!) . So: *Motorola V3x- is it any good? *Any recurring problems? *(assuming it is good and I keep it) Any way I can get a good deal on accessories- hands free kit, PC cable, data card, case? If anyone here can help (especially anyone who works at vodafone) then that would be much appreciated- cheers! |

V3x is quite an old model but sold in NZ vodafone stores for around $400 It isn't a bad mobile and I haven't heard any problems with it . Unfortunately V3x didn't come with cable or handsfree which I don't understand . Nope,havent had problems with V3x . I do find it a bit thick and I don't like the menu of motorola mobiles |

| 524309 | 2007-02-13 11:08:00 | Have you ever consider Nokia N73?I was quite happy with the phone and plan I'm on at the mo, but every now and again it plays up, and since it's at least three years old (secondhand for $100- bargain!) I figure it's a matter of time before it dies. Being offered a much better phone as well as three months free phone usage (well, nearly free) was too tempting to pass up. While I have heard of problems with the phone, I have a 14 day cool down period for the contract, and a 1 year warranty (at least) on the phone, so if it goes wrong then I figure I should have some comebacks... As for the N73, I was originally looking at the N91, since I want an MP3 player as well, but a grand for a phone? :eek: :illogical Erm, no. :lol: |

While N73 does has the ability to play Mp3 . I only have around 2 Mp3 which I use for ringtones only Costs me $600NZ from Nokia Hong Kong . Too expensive in NZ |

| 524312 | 2007-02-14 06:35:00 | Hmmm Ninjabear, up late were you? Your last message seems to missing something! :) As an amusing aside, I figured I would hit a vodafone shop and see how much the go faster bits would cost me (data cable, 512Mb-1Gb card, case, headphones), and laughed at the thought of spending well over $300- $200 on the card alone! :illogical Even the staff told me to hit trademe... will wait and see if the phone's any good first! :o |

| 524313 | 2007-02-14 08:27:00 | They're good, the 2MP camera is quite nice, takes very good photos for a phone! They're a little wide in the hand but not too bad.. I personally went for the v1075 (e1070 in other markets) mostly because of the feel of the casing, its very good when dropped. Mind you, in saying that, the V3x is pretty good when dropped too! They play WMA files fine, so you can fit a good 35-40+ songs on the standard memory, plus more if you buy a MicroSD card (Check Pricespy for a good price). One advantage the v1075 had was it came with the corded headset (Great for calls or for music) as well as an additional 64MB MicroSD card which is all that Ive needed. Im loving my Motorola phone more and more, the way that it works with Bluetooth, things like that, all growing on me very quickly. This Nokia fan-boy might even be a convert ;) The screens nicer on the V3x, just marginally, and the imaging software acts a little different with the V3x camera.. in a good way :) If you're looking at the V3x, compare it to the v1075 and see which you like better. Either way, go for them, BRILLIANT little phones for that price, and the video calling is great too :D |
