The V197 is an excellent basic phone. It has excellent radio reception, good sound, and good battery life. from Amazon.com I don't care about cameras, bluetooth, internet access, etc... I just need a phone. Motorola's V197 seemed like a great answer... It suited my needs well initially...it seemed durable, had more than enough features, and worked well. from Amazon.com I wanted a phone that had good battery life, a reasonable form factor and was dependable; I have a camera and mp3 player, so I don't need them on my phone as well. My previous phone was a terrific Sony Ericsson W810, but lost the battle with the washing machine... The unlocked Motorola V197 set up with no problems with my ATT sim card and connected easily with Motorola Bluetooth. I have had no problems and the battery life is very, very good, as is the reception. from Amazon.com This phone served us very well during a recent trip to Africa and Europe. Just pop in a simm card for the country you're in(we used a Vodaphone simm for all of the Europe portion), add some minutes and voila!. from Amazon.com Living in a rural area with limited coverage, and being retired as well, has changed how I use my cellular phone and how often I use it. Knowing that the closest cell is about 4 miles away and signal strength in my residence is virtually nonexistent has reduced my dependence on mobile communications. I do like good audio quality and adequate signal strength away from home, and the V197 is capable of both. from Amazon.com I bought this unlocked Motorola V197 cell phone in conjunction with a Motorola Bluetooth hands free visor clip, for my driving. They work great individually and together. from Amazon.com Motorola V197 Unlocked Cell Phone--U. S. from Amazon.com If you want a camera-phone, look elsewhere. This phone was designed to be just a phone, and it does exactly what it's supposed to do. I have been a Motorola user for years because of three things: (1) their phones are reliable, (2) they have great sound quality, and (3) I like their intuitive menus. I bought this and the Razr V9x at the same time. from Amazon.com The Motorola phone fit my need exactly. I wanted something reliable and inexpensive. from Amazon.com wanted to replace my V551 with a phone without a new contract. this is cheap and is working so far(3 months).. from Amazon.com

Description

Lightweight and compact, the Motorola V197 is designed for easy portability and slips easily into your pocket or purse. The Motorola logo on the front of the V197 delivers a gentle indicator by pulsing blue when someone is calling and when the phone is being charged.
