The VE is being positioned as a "blogging" handset, a good use for 3G network speeds, though the lack of access to the big sites like Facebook, Twitter and MySpace, dulls this claim somewhat. Instead, a dedicated "social networking" button on the face of the phone links to Google services and ShoZu.
If social networking is a bit for you, more traditional electronic messaging is, of course, available. If you want to send and receive from your Gmail or Yahoo account you'll have to find out your mail account server information and punch these details in manually.
As you might expect, the VE includes almost no internal storage for holding media files, but is compatible with microSD cards, which is yet another extra cost to bear.
If you're in the market for a basic phone for calls and text messaging, the VE will hold its own against the competition.
Voice calling was fine, though not outstanding in any respect. Text messaging is good if your fingers navigate the keypad accurately; the characters appear on-screen as soon as a key is pressed, with no annoying lag to speak of. Even though we don't see how this phone would satisfy one's inner blogger with the options available, we think the browser is one of the best at this price point. It is a mobile browser through and through, so don't expect desktop-like internet, but it renders mobile sites like CNET Mobile briskly and continues to render smoothly as you scroll down a page.
Viewing full-sized sites freaks the poor browser out though; the mobile browser displays links and images on full-sized pages in a muddled mess.
Motorola's VE is a classic less-is-more handset. It does the basics fine, but in regards to extra functionality like multimedia, the VE teases without actually delivering — the lack of headphones in the box with the phone is the best example. Motorola says the VE "makes blogging easy", but its limited access to the popular social networks, like Facebook and Twitter, means very few people will actually use this phone for blogging to their favourite social networking sites.
It's a shame too, the younger market who buys prepaid phones would almost certainly make the most of true social networking and the phone's 3G network capabilities. Joseph Hanlon. The Good Great all-round design. Price is right for a 3G pre-paid. Good basic phone functionality. No headphones, USB or memory card sold with phone.
The VE makes a great phone for someone who doesn't expect the extras. I desided to bye this phone What about its' Battery life? When i recieve a message, the time is 1 hour out from the actual time back an hour. Love the candybar design. Software is a little buggy. I cannot seem to get my alarm clock to work regularly. Otherwise, the Java is quite limiting. I cannot load my dictionary.
However I would recommend the phone to a friend. I do not have much use for internet on a phone! Benjamin, 12 Jan I having a problem when received call. While on a call, you may raise the volume by pressing the "up" button on the 4-way navigation key. I having a problem when received call. How to adjust hearing volume???
