I'm considering buying this phone [URL=]"http://www.vodafone.ie/onlinestore/product.jsp?cat=phones&productId=17988#"[/URL]
but i've never owned a Motorola before and I'm just wondering are they reliable/user friendly. Any comments on this particular model?

Thanks

Vimes, I do hope your wrong ............... I purchased my first ever 'Moto' (E770v) early last month so I've 4 weeks under my belt and hope for a long and happy relationship ..... so far so good ...

it does everything I want it to do and with the current offer from Voda of a brand new E770v all for 109.00 euros (RTG) plus a 100.00 euro's credit there is not a lot to loose ..... if you don't like it after a few weeks pop it in the recycle bin and transfer the sim to a new phone .... and say to your self 'That experiment cost me 9.00 euro's' :eek:

Oh, and the link for the 109.00 offer is .... http://www.vodafone.ie/onlinestore/product.jsp?cat=ootm&productId=17989&bpProductId=17988&bannerdesc=store_images/home/balloons_store_e770.gif

Lol, when you put it that way plus the fact that the money that's paying for the phone was won playing poker, what have I got to lose?!

I wasn't sure about the free credit. What's the deal? Just buy the phone, register online and that's it?

Thanks for the feedback. Sorry about the broken link, I just couldnt get the fúcking BB code (?) right!

hobie

bread, make sure it's registered ok and every month a sweet little Voda gal will come along and stick 10.00 euro's credit into your phone

thats the good bit .... but after 10 months or 100.00 euro's total credit she stops doing it ..... and your all on your own :cool:

Don't go for a Motorola! They've got poor signal strength, poor reliability and are sluggish in operation.

There are going to be a lot of unhappy punters (inc. me) if these negative vibes prove true and I promise to post here if I feel let down ..... Moto is shipping handsets at the rate of almost 34 million units a quarter .... that's more than two million a week :eek:

there's nothing simple in life, bread!!!! ..... just as well your a 'Gambler'

There's a reason for such generalisations

Motorola traditionally have had (justifiably) a bad rep for reliability.

Their latest handsets (razr series) and E models are based on a new platform and are performing much better across all networks - from a reliability perspective.

The E770 at €109 is a good value buy - lots of features, access to 3G.

The problem is its still a motorola.

Thanks for the help guys (/girls), I'm think Im just going to go for it since I simply can't resist the cool features!

I have two of the e770v and they are working fine. One is unlocked and has a UK Voda sim and I was in London for the last 2 days and watched a good bit of free mobile tv (dont bother paying for it).

The phone is grand. It works. Bluetooth is handy and video calling is an experience worth a try. Its Mp3 player sounds well.
