This is a list of Motorola V series mobile phones.
The V60i expanded upon the hugely popular V60 model. However, the V60i was not as popular. A common problem with this model was the antenna snapping off for no particular reason. Instead of recalling the model, Motorola introduced the V60t Color, a large improvement from its predecessor (now discontinued). Recently there have been Motorola V60i models that include a non-retractable antenna that does not tend to snap off like its predecessor.
The V60i for Verizon Wireless was also included with some Mercedes-Benz models in the mid-2000s, and integrated with the vehicle's COMAND infotainment system, as well as its telematics system. In these vehicles, the V60i included Mercedes-Benz branding.

The V325 is a basic clamshell cell phone for Verizon Wireless and US Cellular with a large display and an outer shell that lights up during incoming calls. The V325 is an upgrade of the V265/V276, and includes a universal USB charger rather than a proprietary Motorola charger.
Introduced to the market in Q1 2006, the Motorola V325 was the first cell phone compatible with Verizon Wireless' VZ Navigator application, which provides customers with turn-by-turn, written, and spoken directions to more than 14 million points of interest in the U.S. as well as maps of their current location. Recently, VZ Navigator compatibility has been extended across much of the company's cell phone lineup.
The phone has been distributed in North America by the following carriers:

The V400 is a cellular mobile phone designed by Motorola which debuted in 2004. [1] It was marketed solely by Cingular in the United States. For a phone of that year it is surprisingly advanced, with a 640x480 pixel camera amongst other features.
The V551 is one of Motorola's midrange flip phone models, first released in 2004. Though midrange in price, it is highly customizable. It is a quad band phone with an integrated VGA camera, video, and Bluetooth connectivity. It sports a blue and silver exterior with a blue-lit exterior display. The related black-edged V557, released in 2005, has software upgrades unavailable to the v551.
The V330 is the same hardware as the V551 but uses a different housing. Similarly, the V540 uses the same housing except it does not have a camera.
The V557 is one of Motorola's midrange fliphones and was released in 2005. Its technical specifications are very similar to those of the V551, and the V557 looks almost exactly like the V551, except that it comes in black, not blue. It also comes with a software upgrade of a "Live Ticker"—the first Motorola product to do so. The "Live Ticker" automatically downloads news and information to the desktop of the phone at no cost to the user, making it an upgrade from the V551. It also comes with a rubber-like black outer edge instead of dark blue.
Since late 2006, the Motorola V557 has been removed from Cingular's cell phone lineup. It is unknown if the higher specific absorption rate had anything to do with the device's removal.

| Motorola V557 | 1.75 × 3.43 × 0.91 inches | 176 × 220 65k TFT | About 5 MB (4975 kb) | VGA (640 × 480) | Up to 220–425 mins (talk time) or 179–235 hrs (standby mode) | 4.3 oz |
The V600 is a clamshell mobile phone made by Motorola. The V600 operates on the GSM/GPRS 850/900/1800/1900, which allows the phone to be used in almost every country.
The phone was carried in the U.S. by T-Mobile USA (the T-Mobile version had the 850 MHz band removed, but can be re-enabled via a software update or seem-editing), AT&T Wireless and Cingular. It was carried in the UK by Orange, O2 and T-Mobile.
The V600 success led Motorola to release many more handsets in a 'V-Series', including the V180, V220, V400, V500, V505, V550, as well as custom models for carriers. The direct successor of the V600 is the V620, followed by the V635. New features include video recording and menu themes.
The V620 is a clamshell form factor mobile phone from manufacturer Motorola. The V620 is essentially an updated version of Motorola's flagship V600 world phone, containing such new features as video recording, menu themes and a black housing.
By current standards, the V620 has several modern features, such as the superior 262k color screen. However, the phone lacks a megapixel camera (it is equipped with a VGA camera), a popular feature of modern high-end models. Additionally, the V620 only has approximately 5.5 MB of onboard memory, and lacks a TransFlash card slot. More memory may be gained through end-user modification, though such action voids the unit's warranty. The phone also lacks a CSTN external screen, instead featuring a small inverted-color display.
The Motorola V620 was not offered through any U.S. carrier, but was popular in both the UK and Australia.
The successor of the V620 is the V635.
The V635 is a cell phone developed by Motorola. It is considered the successor to the V600 and V620 model phones. Its prominent features include the ability to insert a removable TransFlash memory card, (fully accessible through the Bluetooth) video capture and playback, 1.23-megapixel camera, and a colored external TFT display.
The phone is primarily unavailable in United States, as major US carriers do not offer the phone to their subscribers. However, phone enthusiasts in the US have been able to obtain the phone from third-party retailers. It is available from Rogers Wireless in Canada. The phone is designed to work on GSM-capable networks, and does work, without issue, on North American networks operated by companies such as T-Mobile, Cingular, Fido and Rogers Wireless. It has apparently been discontinued in at least North America.
Its functions and software are the same as MotoRAZR V3i/V3e's.
The V635 is a quad-band GSM phone, and operates at GSM/GPRS 850/900/1800/1900 bands.

The V710 is a clamshell cell phone with a large number of features. Despite its long list of features, the V710 has received mixed reviews, particularly due to poor camera quality and low battery life which were considered below expectations for a premium phone. The follow-up Motorola E815 improved significantly on the V710's shortcomings and it was well received.
The phone has been distributed in North and South America by the following carriers:
Verizon advertised this phone as having full Bluetooth capability, when in reality it had no OBEX function built in. After many complaints, a class action suit was filed for false advertising, not only for the advertising of a phone to do things it was incapable of, but also for customers complaining to Verizon and being told an update was coming out "in November."
Verizon also disables (or severely limits, depending on the firmware version) the ability to use MIDI and MP3 files, stored on the MicroSD card, as ringtones, in an effort to direct users to its own paid service, "Get It Now!." There have been similar complaints over the V710's successor, the E815, over Verizon's crippling of the phone's features in order to charge the customer more.
The basic factory model of this phone with basic Motorola firmware shipped to smaller regional carriers does not employ this lockout. Golden State Cellular marketed the phone with little defect and full Bluetooth capability. Also, there were no known issues involving the Micro SD card, allowing their customers full access to many ringtones and music files.
The V980 is a 3G/GSM clam-style cell phone developed by Motorola. This product was announced in October 2004, with product availability starting roughly in December 2004. The V980 is one of Motorola's first 3G clam phones, and while larger and heavier than comparable GSM phones, supports "next generation" services such as video calling. The V980 was designed specifically for Vodafone, although a generic version, the V975, was released at roughly the same time to support other customers.
The V980's functions include those of a camera phone, portable media player, in addition to text messaging. It also offers Internet services including e-mail and web browsing. Other features include MMS and copy/cut/paste.
The Japanese version is called Vodafone 702MO.
The candybar correspondent for the V980 is the C980, while for the V975, it's the C975.
Advanced Mobile Phone System (AMPS) was an analog mobile phone system standard originally developed by Bell Labs and later modified in a cooperative effort between Bell Labs and Motorola. It was officially introduced in the Americas on October 13, 1983, Israel in 1986, Australia in 1987, Singapore in 1988, and Pakistan in 1990. It was the primary analog mobile phone system in North America through the 1980s and into the 2000s. As of February 18, 2008, carriers in the United States were no longer required to support AMPS and companies such as AT&T and Verizon Communications have discontinued this service permanently. AMPS was discontinued in Australia in September 2000, in Pakistan by October 2004, in Israel by January 2010, and Brazil by 2010.
The Motorola MPx200 Smartphone was launched in December 2003 as a joint venture between Motorola and Microsoft. The mobile phone's Windows Mobile for Smartphone OS allows users to access email and the Internet, use MSN Messenger, and view documents in Microsoft Office formats much like other Windows smartphones such as the Samsung SGH-i600 or HTC Tanager. The MPx200, along with the Samsung SCH-i600, were the first Windows Mobile smartphone devices to have wide distribution in the United States. Previously, smartphone platform devices could only be purchased in the United States as part of development kits sold by Microsoft. The only U.S. carrier of the phone was AT&T Wireless; however, reports also suggest a somewhat limited number of devices with Cingular branding have appeared following the purchase of AT&T Wireless by Cingular.
The Motorola Razr is a series of mobile phones by Motorola, part of the 4LTR line. The V3 was the first phone showed in the series and was introduced in December 2003 and released in the market in the third quarter of 2004. The V3 model was followed soon thereafter by the improved V2i, including a collaboration with Apple Inc. for iTunes to be built-in. It was launched in 2006.
Pantech Inc. is a South Korean company that manufactures mobile phones. Established in 1991, its market is mainly domestic with partners in the United States, Japan, China, Europe and finally Vietnam. In 2012 Pantech was the second best-selling handset maker in South Korea, according to Gartner. In 2013 Samsung Electronics bought a 10% stake in Pantech. Pantech also partners with PCD for specialized phones.
The Motorola ROKR, the first version of which was informally known as the iTunes phone, was a series of mobile phones from Motorola, part of a 4LTR line developed before the spin out of Motorola Mobility. ROKR models were released starting in September 2005 and ending in 2009. They were notable for incorporating support of media player features.
The Motorola StarTAC, first released on 3 January 1996, is often assumed to be the first ever clamshell (flip) mobile phone. Technically, however, NEC had been releasing flip phones on NTT Docomo's PDC Mova network long before 1996, namely the TZ-804 and TZ-1501, both respectively launched in 1991 and late 1994. The StarTAC is the successor of the MicroTAC, a semi-clamshell design first launched in 1989. Whereas the MicroTAC's flip folded down from below the keypad, the StarTAC folded up from above the display. In 2005, PC World named the StarTAC as the 6th Greatest Gadget of the Past 50 Years. The StarTAC was among the first mobile phones to gain widespread consumer adoption; approximately 60 million StarTACs were sold.
The Motorola E815 is the successor to the V710. It includes the following features:
The Motorola Q is a Windows Mobile smartphone first announced in the Summer of 2005 as a thin device with similar styling to Motorola's immensely popular RAZR. Motorola in a partnership with Verizon Wireless released the Q on May 31, 2006. A version for Sprint was released early in January 2007 and one for Amp'd Mobile in April 2007.

The BlackBerry Pearl was a series of smartphones developed by Research In Motion, and was the first BlackBerry device with a camera and media player. It was originally released on September 12, 2006. T-Mobile was the first US carrier to release the phone as a carrier device. The last BlackBerry Pearl released was the 9100 series on May 13, 2010. After this model was cleared out, RIM discontinued the Pearl series.
The Motorola Slvr is a series of mobile phones from Motorola, and is one of the series in the 4LTR line. The first phones were released in early 2005. They are designed to be very thin and lightweight.

It features a music player, Bluetooth capabilities, up to an 8 GB microSD slot, video messaging, speaker phone and voice command, among other features. It is considered by many to be a spiritual successor to LG's popular "Chocolate" line, which includes the previous LG Chocolate (VX8500) and LG Chocolate Spin (VX8550) handsets.
The Motorola Q9c is a Windows Mobile 6 Smartphone, a thin device with similar styling to Motorola's MOTORAZR.
The Motorola Razr2 (often stylized as RAZR2) is a series of clamshell/flip mobile phones from Motorola, and is one of the series in the 4LTR line. It is the successor to the popular Razr series.
