Thought about Motorola V6 Maxx

Telecommunications companies give out free mobile / cell phones to post paid subscribers in the Philippines, with a lock out period of 24 months. This means that even if you would like to switch to a different service provider, you'll have to wait till your contract expires, unless it is alright for you to spend twice on your phone bill.

Last year, Globe gave me the newest phone they had for Free -- a (then) stylish Motorola V6 Maxx, which was all over the newspapers. It was the best model of Motorola until after a few weeks when the V8 arrived. For me, it was fine, since I had the perception that Motorola makes the most dependable mobile phones in the world.

Features I Liked:

1. Even when the phone is off, Motorola V6 Maxx automatically calls your attention when the alarm is previously set, or when there's an event on your calendar.

2. Motorola V6 Maxx easily turns into a modem phone. I found it much easier to set it up with my computer rather than my wife's Nokia N70.

3. The 2 Mega Pixel camera takes good pictures

4. The flash of Motorola V6 Maxx turns into a flashlight when I need one.

5. The slim phone fits comfortably in your pocket.

6. Motorola V6 Maxx looks cool.

Improvements Needed:

1. When sending SMS or text message using Motorola V6 Maxx's "Motorola Phone Tools Software", the Phonebook entries are not all recognized as most of the entries that you will be able to see on your computer screen are just numbers. I still had to look for the names, type the numbers on notepad.exe, then copy and paste the numbers onto Motorola Phone Tools Software.

2. Though the glass on top looks good, you need to wipe it many times because of your fingerprints. Some reviews on the internet show that Motorola V6 Maxx's glass gets damaged easily as it cracks in a cold environment. I personally didn't encounter that problem because it is always hot here in the Philippines, unless you go to the malls. I dropped it a few times face down, but the glass of Motorola V6 Maxx proved to be durable. Anyway, though the glass looks good, it should be smaller
