If all you need is a simple basic phone I recommend this phone . It doesn't
have a camera or video. And it doesn't have a coffee maker but it does have
a great speakerphone.

Ick. I hate mine. Motorola phones are absolute crap.

Mine drops a lot of calls, but my wife can call successfully from the places
I drop calls with *her* V188 so I assume mine is bad. In fact, T-Mo is
sending me a replacement unit under warranty.

I just don't like the phone's UI, I don't like the fact that the obnoxious
startup/shutdown tones can't be turned off unless you put the phone on
vibrate, and, well... those are my two *biggest* gripes about the phone.

I got it because there was a better deal from Wirefly on the V188 than on
the Nokia 3220 at the time - but we should have just gotten two 3220s. My
wife wants one because it has cool blinkenlights. ;)
