Motorola V547 Review

The Motorola V547 is an updated version of the V500 clamshell camera phone, and is in fact almost identical to the Motorola V550.

Physically, the V547 looks very similar to the V500 and V550. They're all silver clamshells with the same external dimensions and the same screens and near-identical keypads. The V547 is around 10g lighter than the V550. The V547 builds on the strengths of the V500 by adding video capture and improving the battery life. The V550 has an excellent 65k colour display, MP3 ringtones, a speakerphone and quad band.

It's a good mid-range clamshell phone. The main shortcoming is the lack of user memory (just 5 Mbytes), but since video clips are short and there is no MP3 player (only MP3 ringtones), memory is not crucial. Several users have reported problems with battery life and with charging. There are also reliability problems with this phone, in particular freezing or switching off during calls or whilst using the menu. These are relatively rare occurences.
