Advantages: Great sounds, Light goes out to save power, Clear colour pictures

Disadvantages: turns itself on to remind you about an event, No search facility in the phonebook, arial sticks up

The Motorola V547 is a neat clam style compact phone which has a video & camera, as well as many other features. At £130 it well worth the money, but if you keep your old sim card & are with O2, then the price is just £119. On the front of the phone the time is shown either in 24hr or digital, you can also see how much battery & signal power you have. When you open up the phone it lights up, the first thing you see is the colour screen. To access some of the phones features, please press the button right at the top of the phone pad right in the centre just under the screen. Here you are presented with another screen of options which you access by pressing the arrows on the circle. You can track recent calls and how long you’ve been nattering away, calls can also be anawered by opening the phone.

This phone has a screen saver of which you can change, & if the phone isn’t being used it will go dark. It will also vibrate when you have a call, & the rings tones are really good they also let you download real sound. I believe this phone cam also be used abroad as it has blue tooth & caller ID.

Phone Book

Holds over 1000 entries, you can use the camera to take photos of the people in your phone book. When they call you &if your phone is open, their picture should flash up on the screen. When looking for a name in the phone book, just press in the letter of their first name, then scroll until you find it. Apart from that when you enter a new name you can do all the usual like add a ring tone for each different person, show their ID though at the moment it’s only letting me do it for when they next ring me. You can also talk then fax the person your calling & add their E-mail (althrough you will be charged for the time you serf)

Messaging

You can put pictures and sounds with your messages, the dictionary also guesses your words when you are texting. There’s an e-mail facility in messages so you can send e-mails, faxes, templates, quicknotes, & drafts.

Office Tools

In this section you get my services, calculator, datebook for setting reminders, shortcuts, voice records, alarm clock, dialling services & chat. You can put reminders in the date book & set it, but it can be a pain as when the phone is off; it will turn itself on to remind you of the event.

Games & applications

This was fun when I found this. On it is FotoFunPack2 which when selected gives you the face of a man. Press the menu on the right hand side & another list of options comes up. Chose from Clipart, Bodies, Image. You can give your image strange body parts like a red nose or pointed ears; you can change the image & make it look really ridiculous. This can also be applied to any image you have taken for your phone book as well, so now you can really make your parents & friends look like twits.

Web Access - For the internet.

Settings

Personalise will alter your home screen, skin, wallpaper, screen saver & Quickdial. In settings you will find Ring styles, connection, call divert, in call setup, initial setup, phone status, headset, car settings, network, security, and java settings.

Multimedia

Here you will find themes, camera, pictures, Video, MotoMixer & sounds to make your own ringtones.

02 Is one of the better networks. This phone is easy to use when making a call, and it's worth the money!
