 Very poor Battery life December 29, 2008
Very poor battery life. Becareful on this one. Very disappointed. I've had 6 cell phones over the last 15 years and this has to be one that should be recalled due the substantial battery draw. Will not last 24 hours on a full charge with no more than 20 minutes a day of calling. My Samsung would go 7 to 10 days.
Phone Design Annoying, Limited Date Capabilites December 6, 2008

I received this phone as a company phone. It works the way a cell phone should, so that is why it gets a couple of stars.
The cons are enough that I would never buy this product and would not use it if not forced on me.
The buttons are poorly placed. The voice button is on the upper right side of the phone. The button is senstive. I am already sick and tired of hearing, "Please say a command". Even wearing it in a case clipped to my belt, while driving it will accidentally trigger. I would lock the phone, but that is not feasible because of the fact you must enter a four digit code to unlock it.
The covers for the USB socket and the headset are flimsy rubberized plastic. I expect this will be gone with a little use.
The cases matched to this phone add to the aggravation. They have a plastic slip over the top and bottom of the phone. This is very clingy plastic. I was going to court yesterday and went to remove the case so I could carry the phone in a suit coat pocket. The only way I could remove the case was to tear the clear plastic off it destroying the case. Another minus to the case is that the openings near the charger/USB socket make it difficult to charge when the case is on.
The phone has limited data transferability. It is blue tooth capable and my headset works fine with it. My personal cell phone is a Palm Centro, which I highly recommended for its cost and benefits. The Moto VU 204 does not take calendar entries. Instead of being able to push my calendar onto the VU204, I must keep two phones with me when I am working so I have my calendar handy and my company cell phone.
 Great phone without the frills! December 2, 2008

Just want to put my 2 cents in for someone who might be interested in this phone. I have mine for about 1 week and here are what I found:
LIKES
1) Soft rubber(?) case, very comfortable to hold and is not fingerprint magnet!!
2) Call quality is great, loud and clear - isn't that why we have a phone in the first place?! Reception is very good, no drop call. Speakerphone works fine, very loud and easily enable via pressing the side button.
3) The keypad is very nice, keys are responsive and have a good feel. The unit is well design, look and feel more expensive, very attractive and with its rubber case, I feel it can take drop or two without breaking.
4) Very light-weight and easy on the pocket (both carry and price!)
5) The internal display is very clear and bright, fonts are readable and color is sharp.
6) The menu system is fine and works. I like the option to enable the dailing number large on screen so it is even more readable.
DISLIKES
1) None really. Someone mentioned the rubber jack location for charging is poor, I don't think it is terrible, plus now I have a phone with decent battery life (read below), I should not have to charge it as often. Others also said the front display is too small, well I don't spend too much time looking it anyway, do you? This phone is a basic model and doesn't do video or music, all you can do is limited for glancing at time and battery level and such, so I don't believe a bigger display would be that much more useful (plus wouldn't it use more battery?).
For those folks who has issue with the battery life. My first unit has similar problem. Fully charged phone, battery bar would drop to half the next day without much use. I was bummed and ready to get another model. Fortunately I gave it another go since I like the phone a lot and got another one and guess what this one so far holds a charge much, much better. So I figure my first unit must be defective. I didn't give this 5 stars since I have not use it for extended period of time but boy do I really like this phone. It is perfect without all the bells and whistles. I did have a smartphone and other advance phones before. Now I just want a cellphone that works with decent battery life and nothing more.
2 Things Keep This from Being a Great Phone December 2, 2008

I love this cell phone BUT the hard to remove back cover
and short battery life detract from what otherwise would be the perfect cell phone for me!
 Great Basic Phone October 25, 2008
4 out of 4 found this review helpful
I purchased this phone a week ago for a pre-paid account. It keeps a good signal. Has yet to drop a call. Clear sound when talking. Loud speaker phone. Good and fun basic ring tones. The only thing I don't like is that when the security lock is on, and you receive a incoming call the user has to unlock the phone to answer. My old Kyceria of 8 years allowed me to answer calls even if locked. Holds a charge for almost a week with regular use. I don't need an mp3 player. I don't need the latest and greatest to out-do my friends. I want a good phone for calls and texting. Looks sophisticated. Very happy!
