From what I read, most of the people said the V8's good and of course some said it's not good. I owned one and my vote is 9/10.

May 25, 2008

Rating: 9 out of 10 (Spectacular)
Pros: EXCELLENT Sound quality for incoming and outgoing, Nice, sturdy, solid exterior design.
Cons: Battery life if you are a heavy user, small issue however, get a car charger or P790 charger.
Opinion:
I agreed with some, this V8 isn't feature packed like others at the same price BUT what it lacked, it has the most important basics that a lot of other brands missed - Sound quality and Strong stable reception.

After using my V8 for about 6 months now, I have found what I'm looking for in a phone, the core of it, mobile and yet comes with clear crisp conversation quality for both incoming & outgoing and strong reception signal. Tested against my wife's phone (another well known brand for external sound quality) the V8 outshined her phone on signal strength and internal sound quality which she acknowledged. I was holding both phones at an area where the network is weaker (we share the same network).
For heavy user like me, my battery level usually drops to 2 bars by 3pm and charging it in my car when I drive to another place approx. 30 minutes could last me till late night.
Depending on what the individuals are looking for, this phone might not be for you (I believe other brands too!). If you are looking for a good MP3 player, don't even buy a phone - get an MP3 player. Because listening to music for a length of time will ultimately drains out your battery. If you are a working guy when results and yield are important, go get this phone. You would want your clients to here you well, clear and consistent (CrystalTalk technology) and minimize disturbances - the fundamental of any business dealings.

Thanks for reading.
