This review covers the phone only and does not address the performance of Vodafone's 3G Network. The Motorola V980 is available exclusively on the Vodafone 3G network. It was announced in October 2004 and has been in shops since December, 2004. My first impression of the Motorola V980 was that it looked to me like a girls phone. Sorry, but that was my first thought. The review is supported by a number of relevant photos - click thumbs for high quality photos. |
