Archived from groups: alt>cellular>verizon (more info?)

As promised here is my basic review of the E815 fone vs the vx6000 that
I've used for about 2 years.
The E815 is a little larger and heavier than the vx6000 but seems to be
very well built and quite solidly constructed. The menues are very easy to
navigate but I don't like the fact that moving the cursor to the "Openwave"
icon does a connection immediately without having to press send.
The menu response speed is very good.
The manual is actually very good, especially compared to the one that
came with the VX6000.
The index is pretty complete and it is easy to find functions quickly.

The volume/ring type control is on the side like the LG but is closer
toward the top and doesn't tend to get pressed by mistake like the VX6000
did.
That used to drive me nuts!

Color screens are nice and crisp, but the outside screen is a little
difficult to read in daylight, especially the icons.
The vibrate feature is a bit weak, but perfectly acceptable at least to me.
I have no trouble feeling it vibrate on a belt hook but it won't dance
across the table like some phones do Smile

This phone is LOUD, and I mean LOUD.. The ringers, sound and speaker phone
play very loudly with no distortion at all, unlike the VX6000 which IMHO
has a tinny/buzzy quality to it.
Audio quality is the best I have heard from a cell phone.

Coverage seems very good and places that I have had trouble with using my
VX6000 seem to work fine with the E815.
The camera is decent and it seems to work ok, but I am not really into that
stuff.
At least not yet Smile

I am using the Jabra BTV250 Bluetooth headset with the unit and like
someone else has already stated, this combo is AWESOME!!

The voice dialing actually works very well!

I am getting no echos at all and the audio quality of the headset is almost
as good as the phone itself.
I'll admit I was a skeptic, but it really works very well.

Well that's it for now, just the basics, but my opinion is that this is
easily the best phone Verizon has ever offered and if you are in the market
for a new phone you would do yourself a disservice not to try this one.
It looks like Moto got it very right this time Smile

I just got one myself, Did you get a ext. card too? Just wondering because
without one it only records 15sec worth of video.
Not sure if the card makes any difference.

I just got one and it's seems to be a great phone.
I have always had my previous phones on vibrate. Always
This one come with the leather case on the swivel. I absolutely can
not feel it vibrate. Even when it's laying on a counter I can't hear
it vibrate. I could hear my old v60s vibrate on the counter across
the room with no problem. That's the only serious problem I have with
it. What's weird is that went to the Verizon store to get a "clip" so
I could feel it vibrate and they said Verizon doesn't offer one!
Unbelievable. I did a quick search and order a third party clip for
$6 that should do the trick. It suppossedly fits the 710 also. We'll
see... Great phone overall though. But... It sucks that there are
not drivers for WinXP! Only 98 and 2K. Unbelieveable...
Verizon sucks...

Can't wait to have the time to check into hacking it for file
transfers etc.
Any advice appreciated.

Big Dog,

Check out http://www.howardforums.com/showthread.php?t=674803. The link
to the XP drivers is in item 7 under "What you will need" in the first
message in the thread. There are lots of other resources for hacks in
the thread, but I've limited myself to updating my older copy of Mobile
Phone Tools to 3.25b (needed to recognize the E815) and using MPT to
transfer my Outlook contacts to the phone.

I'm coming from a V60i and while the E815 is a bit larger, I really like
the phone so far. The construction seems as good as my V60i (no side to
side play in the flip), but I sure wish Moto made their Verizon handsets
as tough as the ones for Nextel seem to be. Reception on the old V60i
was very good, but the E815 blows it away. Phone is almost too loud in
every way, but I now have it all adjusted to my liking. I have a 256 MB
transflash card on its way from Amazon ($32 shipped), so I'll play with
it on the weekend.

Have fun.
