General Comments

I have had the Motorola V3i M mobile phone for two weeks now, and last night I took the phone out of my pocket to find the front screen cracked in two. Has anyone else had this problem? I've tried returning it to T-Mobile, but surprise surprise, they aren't interested as the phone still works and it is just cosmetic damage. It makes me wonder what else might go wrong.

Apart from that, I have been pretty happy with the phone so far. The large clear screen is great, and texting isn't too bad either. The menus are a little strange to get used to, but you'll get there in the end.

The camera quality is very good, and even better when you can email your pictures to your PC to pass on to friends; something which I haven't been able to do with other phones. The camera also gives you a full screen view, unlike other phones which reduce the viewfinder to about half the size.

Overall, I am happy with the phone. I am just disappointed that it has broken so soon.

    Hi There, I was just wondering how you are getting on with your phone (apart from the broken screen) I have ordered one of these as an upgrade and looking forward to it, what is the alarm like? Loud? Hope you are still enjoying your phone? Pauline x

    Hi, I'm getting on okay with the phone, can't really grumble about anything apart from the broken screen. Yes, the alarm is loud so it shouldn't have a problem waking you up!

    I took my brand new Motorola v3i out my pocket(I thought it was safer there than in the case) after 3 hours to find the same problem. After searching Ebay I found many people are selling the limited edition such as Dolce and Gabbana version and others with the same front screen used 1 month but with crack in front screen...Although this is not a costly repair, I find the Carriers and Motorola do not want to fess up to the fact that because the exterior screen on the V3i is larger than my previous V3 It is flimsy and easily damaged. So easy In Fact....I will buy a Sony Ericsson the next time I need a cell.

    Hi. I got a Motorola V3i M mobile phone for Christmas, and up to now I am very happy. Yes, the alarm is loud! I was wondering if you could tell me how many text messages it holds?

    Hi, It doesn't hold many at all- specially if you keep all your sent ones to, about 30 on each I guess, The D900 I have holds 200... but thats not including the sent ones just recieved.
