Review Of MOTOROLA V3
Tuesday, December 25th, 2007
Standard kit Phone The battery Charger Manual CD with software (includes Mobile Phone Tools, and about 100 Mb of content) Motorola is one of numerous companies which has high sales in the clamshell segment. The models of this kind from this manufacturer appeared at the same time with Korean models or even earlier. European users got familiar with clamshells due to phones from Motorola. The company as a pioneer in this field had several popular products of this design, for example, everybody remembers the outstanding StarTac and further clamshells of V-series. All clamshell models were made at the same style typical for company: base functions and classical clamshell design. The market competition has become stronger and the company tries to find new niches for its products. Not long ago it presented triplets (v300, v500, v600), than its versions made in other form-factors appeared (Motorola v80). Two years past since the company firstly announced its triplets, Motorola tested the new platform, tried to make it more trustworthy. Once the company succeeded, it became able to fabricate new products very quickly. New Motorola E398 and v80 are evidences of this fact. As you’ve guessed the new product of the company is based on the same platform as triplets and has a clamshell design. For the first time the company tries itself in the fashion segment of the high class, producing the phone which has the highest price for the mass product. Of course, this phone is not a rival to the models from Vertu, because new Motorola is positioned in the mass segment. By the way, can we call the product that costs 650-700 USD a mass one? The example of Nokia 8910(i) sales shows that such kind of products can be successful on the market.
