Editorial Reviews:
Product Description This faceplate is compatible with Motorola v220. Battery cover is included. Need a Faceplate Removal Tool to remove original faceplate.
Amazon.com Product Description With video playback, gaming, multimedia messaging and a VGA camera with digital zoom, the Motorola V220 is an affordable and powerful way to get in on all the mobile fun. What's more, it's a quad-band phone with global roaming capabilities.
Design The phone features a sleek clamshell design with a large 128 x 128 color display with 65,000 colors. The outside cover of the handset sports a supplementary 96 x 32 blue monochrome display that can display time, call information, battery and signal strength, and more. The VGA camera lens is housed below this display. A stub antenna is placed on the top right side of the unit. Volume buttons are placed on the left side, as is a USB port for data connectivity. Most of the phone's features and on-screen menus are controlled by a five-way center button on the handset's control pad. There's a standard jack to accept universal hands-free headsets on the bottom of the handset, next to the phone's charging port.
Calling Features The V220 allows you to assign pictures to your most common callers. It also supports polyphonic ringtones as well as MP3 ringers, allowing you to use portions of your favorite songs to alert you to incoming calls. A number of ringtones come preloaded on the phone and there's even an included application, MotoMixer, that enables you to mix your own ringtones.
Speed dialing, which allows you to call pre-programmed numbers with one button is built in, as is a vibrating alert. A built-in speakerphone makes it easy to talk without having the phone to your ear. Voice activated dialing makes calling your friends, family and associates as easy as saying their names.
Messaging, Internet and Tools The V220 features support for instant messaging applications (carrier messaging charges apply) and there's also a built-in web browser for downloads and mobile web browsing. Traditional text messaging, as well as picture and sound messaging (MMS) are also supported by the phone. When used in combination with the phone's built-in camera, MMS opens up a whole new world of messaging fun. iTap text entry, which is a technology that makes it easier for people to enter words and text on handsets, is built into the unit-- a plus for mobile email and text messaging users.
A number of handy software tools are bundled with the V220 including a voice memo recorder, a calculator with currency converter, a calendar and an alarm clock.
Imaging and Entertainment The V220's USB connectivity can be used to transfer pictures, sounds and graphics to the phone's 1.8 MB memory from your PC. Screensavers, themes and wallpapers can be set to your tastes. The V220 is Java enabled, meaning it supports games and application downloads written on the Java platform. The phone ships with a single game, Bejeweled. For extra gaming fun, the phone is haptics enabled, meaning the phone's vibrate system is activated by crashes or other events in games. The V220 also supports MPEG4 video playback. Load video clips from your PC or download them from a wireless web provider and enjoy video on the go.
The phone's built-in camera features VGA (640x480) resolution and a 4x digital zoom for getting great shots on the go.
Vital Statistics The V220 weighs 3.76 ounces and measures 3.29 x 1.73 x .94 inches. Its lithium-ion battery is rated at up to 7.2 hours of digital talk time, and up to 380 hours of digital standby time. It runs on the 850/900/1800/1900 MHz GSM/GPRS frequencies. The phone comes with a one year limited warranty.

Good enough for the priceDecember 16, 2008 Doesn't have all the modern frills that the other phones have but if you break phones the way I do its a good stand in.
Cell phoneOctober 18, 2008 I for the most part like the model and that is why this is my second one but with this new one the problem is the back of the phone does not stay on and I did not have this with my first one.
NOT COVERED UNDER MOTOROLA WARRANTYSeptember 15, 2008 0 out of 1 found this review helpful
WE PURCHASED THIS PHONE (WHICH IS A VERY CHEAP PHONE) AND IT BROKE WITHIN 1 WEEK. WHEN WE TRIED TO GET WARRANTY WORK DONE THROUGH MOTOROLA, THEY SAID THAT THE WARRANTY WAS NO LONGER SUPPORTED BECAUSE THEY DO NOT MANUFACTURE THESE PHONES ANY LONGER. SO, DON'T BUY IT THINKING YOU CAN GET WARRANTY SERVICE!!!
Don't even look at it!September 12, 2008 0 out of 1 found this review helpful
Horrible Service! Shipment arrived very late. Over and above that they sent me a locked phone and couldnot provide me an unlocking code over the phone as well... They promised replacement...but hasn't arrived yet after 15 days....when original order promised delivery in 3 days.
Dont ever consider this product and the seller company!
Defecient Phone!September 4, 2008 My employer had purchased several of these phones for work use. First, this phone felt cheap & broke easily. The screens broke under lite to moderate pressure. Secondly, the number keys broke or stuck after a year of moderate use. Thirdly, the ear pieces failed & I'd be forced to use it with the speaker on. Sometimes the camera function wouldn't turn on. I suggest buying a different phone.
