The V220 is the entry-level phone in Motorola’s current range of clamshell phones. It looks similar to its big brother phones, the V300, V500 and V600, but does not have as many features. Cost-savings start with the colour screen, which is small and uses STN technology rather than TFT, making it less bright and crisp. The camera is very poor quality and tends to take fuzzy dark images. Other areas where Motorola have economised are in the reduced memory, no Bluetooth, no quad band, no infra-red.

There are some reports of hardware failures amongst our user reviews (below) but not so many to indicate any kind of systematic design or manufacturing defect. We suspect that Motorola have used cheap components to save costs and so the V220 may be more susceptible to damage than some other phones.

On the positive side, the V220 is smaller and lighter than the other Motorola clamshells, so could be a good choice for someone who does not need the more advanced features. We do like the curvaceous silver design, and the V220 is still a well-specified phone, with a digital camera, MP3 ringtones, handsfree speaker, USB connection for transferring pictures to a computer, and triband, and is a good choice when the budget is tight.
