motorla mobile phones

[strapping young lad]

hello

i wonder if someone here can help me

im about to get a new phone and fancy a few (motorolas are the cutesy ones atm)

pebl
slvr

can anyone tell me if they already have one of these and if so can they do the following?

sync contacts on outlook
sync calendar on outlook

if so then job's a good un

the contacts is more important but would be nice to sync calendar too.

if not can someone suggest which ones DO the above?

i already have the orange spv c500 and im bored with it cos i dont use its functions much.

I hate Motorla's with a passion. They chase the style market instead of focusing on a phone to actually make calls. I'd recommend a Nokia over a Moto anyday, much better built phones.

Hate Motorola too....

Nokia or Sony Erricsson have done me well, good sync software etc.

So now work gave me a blackberry... :( (That won't even sync over Bluetooth)

The Girlys Siemens CL75 has pretty awful software too... I guess if you spent time with it, but it is not intuitive.... Not tried sync'ing that though.

Not sure if Motorola have changed, but they used to have the most key presses just to make a call.

My thruppence worth

Motorola nice looks, but the crappest software on the device ever.

Nokia have the software, but sometimes lack the looks.

Also I can forgive looks for usability anyday.

Any Nokia on Symbian 60 platform can sync to Outlook todo, contacts, calendar and some even mail.

Hello Moto, Byebye Moto  :lol:

the pebl, had a realy poor flip mech, hard to open, ended up with v3i, not too bad, no probs as yet.

[paul_humphreys]

I am just waiting for the Nokia n80 to come out.

I want the new Nokia E70 (Look it up) looks awesome and a good upgrade for mine (6822).

The V3 is possibly alright, although my grandad has one and It won't connect to my PC even though 3 Nokia's and an 02 one does. The Nokia's may not be stylish, but by god there reliable, good to work with and really easy to use. I love mine, and it'd take a lot to pull me from them.


And I've gotta say, I was expecting to be ripped apart for anti Motorola comments...

[strapping young lad]

fair comment everyone

i will look into the nokias

what bout the samsung z600?[/img]

[strapping young lad]

just had a look at the nokia 6280

looks alright

and the spv m2000

damn the choice!

[sogster]

I am the proud new owner of a Nokia 6280, but does have a fault similar to most mobile phones!!!!!

It can't support the weight of a 30 tonne articulated truck!!! My heart sank as i realised I had just ran my phone over!!

Waiting for the replacemnt to be sent.

It has good easy to use features and the MP3 files sound great, the radio signal is a bit weak, but the pictures come out well and bluetooth everything to the PC

Sogster!!

[strapping young lad]

does it sync with outlook for my contacts and calendar?

signal a bit weak.. is that not to do with the airtime provider rather than the phone itself though?

[colintandy]

:D I ALSO HATE MOTOROLAS can never charge them properly ive got the new tmobile sda11 top class phone easy to use got axtive synce got windows mobile xp and loads of callendar and ms office stuff that can all be syncronized..even got co-pilot nav system syncs with the pc have real time tracking system via blutooth and gps with voice commands that you can change

I'm debating replacing my old faithful 3310 with something else Nokia (definately a non 'fippy-thing')

[Bush Tucker Man]

Still got one of these downstairs.

It's a PAYG, but due to not being used for well over 3years, it's been 'barred' & there's about £15.00 left on it.

I'll have to get it de-barred (if possible)

[dew1911]

I've said to you before BTM hunt down a 6310i and it'd make a great phone for you. It's basically a 3310 with Bluetooth and Infared, and it's built like an APC.

[sparkes]

Have a look at the Sony K750i

Cheap and has all the bits that the w800 has. Full Java, MP3 player, Great 2mp camera, Full sync with Outlook. Radio.

The camera works like a camera and not a phone, it has lights to allow night photograpy and you can even buy a flash for it.

Had mine a couple of months and very, very impressed with it. Also like the fact that the software allows you to update the flash memory of the phone without having to send it in like all my old nokia's.

[Daz800]

ive just changed my phone from a motorola v635 to a nokia.
The motorola had to be repaired twice in the last 12 months and each time it took 3 weeks.

Staying with nokia..not had a single problem with any ive owned.

i dont really need an mp3 player as ive got an ipod shuffle

but i DO need

a good camera with decent shot resolution (2meg pixel)
video is a plus too
defo not polyphonics they sound sheeeiiiite! (want real tones only)
oh and sync outlook contact/calendar as ive said before

do nokia's cover this?

[dew1911]

The N70 Covers all that, and is an Amazing phone to boot.

Other Options include the N90, N91 or E70.

[Littledan]

i must be different i got the new motorola ROKA E1 and got rid of my samsung D500 cos i perfer the motorola,

i have an ipod nano, and also have an ipod on my phone as it has itunes :D

but its a really good phone :D

dan :D

Since syncing with lookout, doh I mean Outlook, is a priority for you why don't you try something like a Orange SPV C500, C550 or C600 phone?

I only suggest because it runs Windows and therefore it will definately sync like you need.  The camera is not that high res on the C500 but adequate and it's a 1.3M on the C600 but pretty good quality.

I've had a C500 for well over a year and I had a Moto MPX200 before that with no real problems except the lack of bluetooth - still got it somewere!  I swapped the C500 for a C600 just the other day for no other reason than it didn't cost me anything and the difference is unreal.

If you don't like Orange then go for a C500 and get it unlocked - I can tell you how to do it for FREE of you go down this route.

You may read this and be forgiven for thinking I'm pro Windows; I'm not, but it makes sense to have Windows on both devices as they're more likely to work together for syncing etc.

Just my two penneth.  

[strapping young lad]

i already have the c500 and dont like the layuout of the keys and the phone has some delay issues when using keystrokes which makes you think it didnt read what you pressed so you press it again and it messes up

imight look at the c550

but my main reason for syncing my contacts is so that i dont have two sets and if i lose either list (phone or pc) one sync later and they are all back

ok looking at this thread anyone know of a good phone that i could put mem map or some other routing software on. Got a motorola v6 at the moment its ok and never let me down had it about two years now. just would like one i could route with now
