2. Motorola V195
This handset has a professional and stylish look with a decent display. It has 5MB shared memory with Java downloadable facility and talk time up to 8 hours. When someone calls you, the famous Motorola logo of M blinks in blue color. V195 also facilitates users to see someone’s call by providing the external caller’s id on the large color screen. Motorola V195 has all the qualities that all phones must possess but it lacks in audio quality. However, if you are not looking for a phone with keyboard, then this is a good choice.
3. LG VX9800

It has 250 minutes of talk time and stand-by time is approximately 200 hours. A distinguishing factor of the phone is the dynamic memory. Hence, you can store any number of entries in the phone book. The phone model weighs a little more than 5 ounces. So like any other phone with keyboard, this one feels heavy. Hence, using it for a long time in hands alone can be cumbersome. LG VX9800 has a 1.3 mega pixel camera. Though other phones have 2 mega pixel camera with flashes, the camera on this model has decent performance.

The phone stores about 10MB of memory for photos, videos, ring tones and java games. In spite of the fact that the Motorola L6 is a slim, attractive and stylish portable cell phone, it couldn’t impress many mobile users due to its keypad design, resolution screen and blurry photos.
