The first thing that one notices about the Motorola V1050 is that it has a striking resemblance with the famous MOTO RAZR V3; but the difference is its distinctive antenna that used to characterize the older version of Motorola cell phone. Even though some people consider the stubby antenna as a serious flaw in the otherwise curved and smooth edges of the V1050, it can also be considered as a pleasant digression from the contemporary designs that are out there in the market right now.

Although this phone has a unique vintage look, its clamshell form factor and its classy black color contribute to it being really stylish to look it. Another advantage is its size as it measures at a manageable 94x49x37 mm and weighs just 136 grams. It fits into any pocket size neatly and is ideal for people who tend to lose their cell phone because they can always feel it in the pocket. The outer screen displays all the basic information like call timer, battery time, signal strength and a picture or graphic art as background.

The flipping mechanism is quite smooth; and when the phone is flipped open, a standard keypad is revealed with a great blue backlight. The display is TFT with 262K color display. It displays images in 240x320 pixels on a 33x45 mm internal display. The contrast of the screen is amazing and you can view the screen with ease under any lighting conditions. The speaker quality is unparalleled and you can even hear perfectly well in a noisy environment.

The V1050 comes with a set of features that give many other mobile phones in its category a run for their money. The highlight is definitely its 1.3 MP camera that takes crisp pictures in 1280x960 pixels and makes good quality videos with flash and an 8X digital zoom. This camera also doubles for use in video calling. There are other basic features like class 10 GPRS, 1000 phonebook entries, 10 dialed/received/missed call records, 3G, WAP, SMS/MMS and email that make this phone a very good investment indeed.

This phone is also very useful if you want to incorporate it into your business activities and use motorola phone tools. There is an integrated calendar, SyncML, T9 and a built-in hands-free. With a Java MIDP 2.0 platform as well as downloadable games using the WAP browser.
