Pros: Metal case, decent quality display. Sound quality is decent. Has port for an external antenna on the back (under a rubber cap). I have dropped this phone several times by accident, and the screens have survived. Much tougher than other motorolas I have owned and broken (v220, v180). Somewhat decent "1.3Mp" camera. I believe the imager chip probably only does 640x480 resolution, and is "enhanced." This may not be true however, more of an educated guess. Cons: Sometimes bluetooth is not very reliable. A few times it has refused to see the earpiece I have, and I blame the phone for the reason that when I try to "scan" for bluetooth devices it will not. I restarted the phone both times and the bluetooth began to work. Occasionally the battery will run down much faster than normal, this may be due to being in an area of little or no signal strenth? This has happened twice, while the phone was on but not in use. Lastly I complain about the motorola software. It has a browser which I occasionaly start by accident because of where the button is. I cannot change the settings on this button to map it to another feature instead. Also when opening and closing the phone there is a delay before the screen actually has a display. This may be due to the load from motorola's "orange" theme. It would be nice not to have an elaborate theme, and while there may be ways to do it (such as reflashing the memory) it would be nice if I could choose a simple, low overhead "theme". Its a phone, I dont want pretty flashy things I cant turn off.Read full review
When you have the Motorola V635 in your hand you know it. It is a substantial handset. It tips the scales at 134 grams, or almost 4.7 ounces. With a metal battery cover and metal front flip cover it feels solid because it is solid. The phone is not large. It is only marginally larger than the Motorola V188. It will fit nicely into cases used with a Nokia 6103 or 6131 as well as many similar form factor Motorola models. It is a sturdy, well built physical specimen. It's tank-like build in no way hinders it performance. The V635 scrolls through menus quickly. The tactile feedback from the keypad is crisp and distinct. The keypad a is a bit more slick than some. It is in no way difficult to use as a result of this texture choice by Motorola. In contrast the non-numeric keys have a rough texture that makes for a nice touch. The Voice key on the side of the handset activates a bit too easily. It seems everytime I pick up the handset it wants to voice dial. The true measure of a mobile handset is the ability to pick up and hold signals coupled with the quality of the speaker and microphone. It is here that the V635 really shines. It finds the signal in fringe areas and it holds on tenaciously. The speaker is loud and quite clear, about the clearest, most natural sound I've heard from a mobile handset. The microphone also produces a very clear and natural sound for the person at the other end. In addition to telephone basics this handset has Bluetooth, an MP3 player, Internet browser, IM, E-mail, Java and the ability to handle up to a 2 gigabyte microSD card. This phone has a lot going for it. The MotoMixer is a fun way to produce new ringtones based upon the included pre-set MIDI patterns. It has voice notes and voice dialling. A calendar, calculator, datebook, alarm clock, two games and currency converter round out the software goodies. The camera has 1.2 megapixels with zoom and video capability. It has supplementary illumination for dark scenes. The handset menu refers to it as a flash but actually it is a constant illumination rather than a flash. That it is also is one of the nicest looking flip phones around doesn't hurt it either. This is one handset that doesn't have to show its age. The black center piece is easily removed and replaced with a new one. The front cover and battery door are also easily and cheaply available. For less than the price of a nice lunch a person can renew the entire outside of the handset and never touch a tool. It's not that these are prone to scrapes and damage but if your phone starts to look a little ragged you can spruce it up and keep on going. Many extras, solid basic performance and few weak areas make the V635 an ideal handset. Most of the units you find on eBay are unlocked, they work with any GSM carrier that operates on 850/900/1800/1900 bands because this is a quadband model. That means it will work in North America, South America as well as on the continent and in the UK.Read full review
The Motorola V635 is a Quad-Band GSM phone, similar to the V600, but was unfortunately not released in the US. Right now, the phone is exclusive to European countries. However, it is imported into America through many sellers on eBay, so getting your hands on one should be quite easy. I've owned this phone for at least 7 months, and would like to share this review with you, based on my experience with this phone. The phone sports many exciting features, and it is a must-have if you are up-to-date with the latest technology. Here are the cool features of the V635: *Quad-Band *Bluetooth, of course *GSM, yours should come unlocked *1.3 Megapixel Camera *Unlimited video capture (if phone has 6DR firmware, some don't) *Video capture records sound *Transflash removable memory, located under front faceplate *Flash (LED Light which is bright enough to use as a flashlight *External LCD Screen, which enables you to use camera with flip closed *Faster menus compared to any other V series, including new CDMA razr *Metal faceplates- much more durable than plastic ones. Check out my "about me" page for a cool link to a store that powder coats them- a must have! *EDGE for high-speed downloads *MP3 Player for jamming to 'them tight tunes. Better than the iTunes software! *780mAh battery, gives me about 7 days standby on avg, with daily calls! *Good, clear speakerphone with a microphone right under the front ext. LCD *Weighs 134g. A good-feeling, sturdy phone. *Phonebook includes spell-able searching with more than one letter (ex. "jo" for "joe" instead of having to hit "J" and searching through "Jane" and "Jay" *But if you don't have any friends like me, you can set it back to the original non-searchable way ;) *Excellent call quality and reception *Beautiful keypad with good solid-push of buttons, which I like better than Razr *Works with MPT (Mobile Phone Tools) *Beautiful, dymanic 65k TFT 176-220 px color screen Cons- NoneRead full review

I researched this phone for months before I got it. I was very excited when my fiance finally bought it for my birthday. However, it started having problems on the first day. When you turn the phone off it takes hours and sometimes days to be able to turn it back on! It freezes as it comes on and you have to take the battery out, put it back in, and continue trying to get it to come one. Then, at random times the phone will freeze and you will have to turn it off resulting in hours of trying to turn it back on. After I got the phone I researched a little more to find out that MANY people have the same problem. I love the features but it is way too much of a hassle to keep it. I am already looking into a replacement and I have had it for less than a year! Buyers BEWARE!!!!
