I bought a Motorola V3, only problem is with setting up my WAP/GPRS settings. Nothing to do with Motorola though, as far as I know. does anyone know if this phone is compatable with O2 Active?

gazuk2002 · 05-06-2005, 13:07

Just had another go setting up my Moto V3 for use with O2 Active. When the settings are sent via o2.co.uk it updates it OK, when I select O2 GPRS as defult, it has a padlock symbol next to it, and when I try to connect to GPRS it says Setup Incomplete.

gazmilne · 05-06-2005, 21:00

Mine's is all ok when using the V3 on o2.

All set up first time and works good.

On the Motorola's.....the V80 was a nightmare I NEVER want to repeat though!

How much did you pay for them and where did you get them from.

I'm thinking about getting this on T-Mobile contract, is it any good? What are the mp3 sounds like? Do you know if i will be able to use my Motorola E398 headset for it as i see it doesn't already come with one?

Nick555 · 06-06-2005, 09:51

I bought a MPX220 & V3 recently. The V3 has died after 2 days.

Just saw an eBay ad and yeah it is compatible

so when I get that phone I will give my dad my E398 instead of selling it and then keep the Headset

Does anyone know if the V635 comes with a Data Cable?

Yep, on T-Mobile, in the box i got:

Charger,
Phone,
USB Data Cable,
Headset

Cool!

MP3 tones are top class! Birlliant and loud and clear! Mine doesnt seem to like playing MP3s as txt alerts though? Anyone else had this?

Yeah the mp3 files need to be on the phone memory not the momory card before they can be used as ringtones or message tones.

dj9928 · 06-06-2005, 15:55

My V975 on Three freezes occasionally

nockie3 · 06-06-2005, 17:24

Yeh, they are stored on the phone. It doesnt give you the option to make MP3s on the card ringtones

But yeh, i tried to set Axel F Crazy Frog as my message tone, and it cuts out every few seconds, same with duran duran, the reflex

These used as normal ringtones work fine!

shootthedonkey · 06-06-2005, 18:45

I've had a V600 for over a year. The battery life is good and I've had no problems with it.

mrMick · 06-06-2005, 20:13

C975. absolute pile of c***

went back to my nokia in the end

Maybe you should phone up T-Mobile about it and tell them whats wrong and they should be able to advise you and maybe even send you out a new handset and collect your current one.

I've got a Motorola E550 on T-mobile and I hate it.

It has a button on the side where you can change the profile (silent, loud, vibe then ring, etc, etc.) So, you can put the stupid thing on one setting, put it in your pocket and the profile gets changed to something else.

Crappy thing.

linkinpark875 · 06-06-2005, 22:15

Motorola E365 (Feb 04) - kept freezing, texting very slow.
Motorola V500 (July 04) - Just got bored of this one but not a bad phone.
