'This mobile has a speaker phone which is very convenient to make a conference call between three or more people but this option is best suited for business class and officials.'
'Photos were grainy, noisy, and blown-out, but at least they were in focus.'
'The experience on the two applications is similar to that on other AT&T phones; both are minimalist in their designs, but the music player supports a wide variety of file formats and it offers useful features, such as album art, playlists, and shuffle and repeat modes.'
'A few pieces are missing from the puzzle – namely, a color (rather than monochrome) external display, an IrDA port, and maybe even an equalizer for the MP3 player – but overall, this trim looker of a phone makes the grade.'
'Featuring chrome details and a soft-touch finish, the V557 delivers a compelling experience with a built-in VGA camera phone with Bluetooth wireless technology and EDGE broadband technology.'
'Featuring SCREEN3, a technology solution from Motorola, the Motorola V557 gives you zero-click access to news, sports, entertainment, and other premium content directly from your mobile device home screen – no buttons to push, no browsers to launch.'
'An outstanding phone we had the chance to review is the Motorola V557, a phone that was conceived to compete the mobile phone market.'
'Since the BlackBerry e-mail system is optimized for slower networks, the fast EV-DO network doesn't shine quite as brightly when you're using the BlackBerry as a handheld.'
'Unfortunately, Bluetooth dial-up networking isn't supported.'
'Unfortunately, this standard cell phone also has some major flaws, especially when it comes to making calls.'
