When you get it, best get a memory card to, it only comes with 2MB built in, which for 3G content is poor.
There's some reviews here; http://www.mobile-phones-uk.org.uk/motorola-v975.htm

That's a good enough deal. Remember, you can actually add memery to it via transflash cards.

I just wish it had bluetooth or irda...

stevejk75 · 13-12-2005, 07:09

There is no bluetooth or irda featured on this phone,still not a bad phone for the price though.Was going to get one from savers.The kept one by for me,then phoned me the next day to say that have it ready for me.Changed my mind though,have gone back on a new contract with 3.Should be getting my sony-ericsson k608i today.

savers mostly sell toiletries & cleaning products etc, not the sort of place you would expect to sell mobile phones.

stevejk75 · 14-12-2005, 06:47

Gone and got myself a sony-ericsson 608i on 3, on a years contract.My o2 contract ends the beginning of february.

I was in the vodafone store today & was told the v980 has been discontinued i went to several phone shops including two vodafone ones & none had any in stock but they are selling reconditioned ones on the vodafone website for £62.99

I took the nec back today cuz it was cheap & nasty iv not got the v975 which is slightly heavier but looks & feels better.

samsawhney2005 · 14-12-2005, 18:57

my cousin has the v980 as a 2nd handset and he got it reconditioned via voda online i think its a choice btween that one and the moto roker which is in stock on most networks at cpw - chioces, choices!!!

wavejockglw · 14-12-2005, 19:14

Junk phone - steer well clear especially if its on 3!! A dog! It'll drop calls all over the place if you can make one to begin with.

Vodafone have a similar product (V980) which is useable as they have both GSM and 3G and switching is seamless between them. On PAYG they have it on their website for £62.99. For an extra £3 you get something useable!

Vashta Nerada · 14-12-2005, 20:22

Iv only had the phone since this morning & what i can say is that the sound quality is better than my k608i & it also downloads stuff quicker .
