Motorola E770v or Samsung ZV10

Cactus Mac

Which one of these cheap 3G phones is better. There both the same price but which one should i buy. Thanks

E770v i picked over these two. Mostly because of the card but its a great phone.

Unless you want a huge amount of memory I'd go with the zv10. It looks alot nicer and as well as that, Motorolas can be unreliable at times.

Which one has the best camera e.g which one takes clearer pictures and which one records videos the best.

well with the 64mb card you get with the e770v its 3mins video. When you expand it i presume it can be more. quality is suprisingly good for a vga cam 4x zoom, outdoor, night mode, indoor mode, green red blue and antique effects as well as exposure etc. Then there is a light which can act as a flash too.it neat id recommend it.

At a net cost of 9.00 bucks (RTG) for the E770v, I purchased on the basis that if I didn't like it I would pop it in the re-cycle bin and kiss it good bye, at very little expense ......

I still have it some 5 weeks later and it's a nice little phone that is increasing looking like it will grow old with me

I sue the e770v for taking pics for my blog and the quality isn't bad at all. Night shots are a touch weak but that's to be expected...

I got the samsung zv10 and I'm pretty happy with it, can't really fault it. I cant see myself using up the 40 megs or so of memory any time soon.the file viewer is pretty handy too, pdf, ppt word etc can be stored and viewed, v.handy. Don't know much about the motorolla though. Hopefully I can get some good apps to stick onto the samsung!!

I would definitely recommend the Motorola. I got mine yesterday and it's everything I could hope for.

3 mins with 64mb? a 6680 will do an hour with a 64 mb card and thats at 1.3mp. i just took the memory card out of mine and with its 10mb internal memory it'll do 8 mins. i know that on nokias they set the default video length really short by default for some reason. look for an option to increase it

Its 3 mins max clip length.... don't have it with me so don't know how many 3min clips the 64mb can hold.

are you sure about that? i know a lot of people who thought the 6230i could only do 15 second videos because nokia set it to that length for some bizarre reason. in the video settings you can change it from 15 seconds to an hour. i'd assume you can do the same on the e770v. it seems such a pointless waste of a memory card if it cuts you off at 3 mins

AVOID THIS PHONE - it does not work with a lot of types of bluetooth devices :mad:

I got it working with a headset but as for even finding other phones and PC's it's useless.

Will pair with my Mac but there are no services available and you can't send files to or from it - seems to be happening with lots of people that have one.

With basic functionality like this broken - they can't have put much time into testing the product - so what else is knackered or going to go wrong

Sam Vimes

and bluetooth was supposed to make connectivity easy can i get a woooooooooooow motorola

Bluetooth is working. I moved my files from my e770v to my k750i over bluetooth. I have used the e770v to send photos via bluetooth to my ericsson media viewer on the TV.

I have done file exchanges with it on the mac but isync and stuff isnt supported. It has worked excellently with my laptop - file exchange and obex push etc.

Strangely I find that the colours on the e770v are more vibrant (on screen) than the k750i.
