Initail reviews in Motorola v60v a sigal strenght winner

All

Visiting some of the other web sites like sprintusers, etc... the
common thread to the reviews is "this phone knows CDMA".

If you want vision, camera, etc... then this is not the phone for you.
If you need a phone that works geat as a phone you might want to take
a look

I would love a camera but #1 for me is reception and call quality.
Call quality is superb. So far (I have had mine 24 hours), it appears
that I may be getting better fringe reception than my Moto old P8767
as well. My old P8767 got much better reception that current Sanyo,
Sansung and Nokia phones on Sprint, thus I would rate the v60v
reception as exceptional compared to its current peers.

sounds good, but without vision, is there anyway of getting your own
ringtones in there?

I realize you can't get Vision with this phone, but how about Sprint's
"wireless web" option. Not as pretty as Vision, but I have WW on my
Samsung A400 and can download ringtones and get text-only access to
the web. Anyone know if WW is available on the Motorola V60v?

There is a menu where you enter custom tones. You enter a name and
use the keypad to enter notes. I didn;t enter any so I can't geive
you details, I just noticed it

A Customer Service Rep told me over the phone that I could get Vision
with the V60v, but that it would not display pictures. I didn't
believe him. I e-mailed Customer Service about the "wireless web"
option. Here is their response (May 28, 2004):
------------------
This is in response to your inquiry regarding Motorola V60v.

Please note that the Motorola V60v is not browser capable and you do
not need to opt for the PCS Wireless Web pack. The Motorola V60v is 2
way
SMS capable and you can choose from the following plans:

a. '100 SMS Text Messages' for $5.00 per billing cycle for 100 SMS and
for every additional SMS you will be charged $0.10.
b. 'Unlimited SMS Text Messaging' for $10.00 per billing cycle.

Thank you for contacting Sprint and please do write back to us if you
have any further inquiry.

almost certainly not. that would require supporting 1X voice but low-speed data.

Actually, it HAS been done before. The Sanyo 4700 and quite a few other
phones that were out roughly 6-8 months prior to the Vision launch that
bore the "Qualcomm 3G CDMA" label were 1X voice capable, but data was
through the old wireless web.

So it's possible that the V60v could have been made this way. However,
I doubt that Sprint is interested in continuing to support the old
wireless web interface any longer than they have to, and releasing more
phones that use WW only pushes back the day they can finally discontinue it.
