Entertainment

In addition to common PIM (Personal Information Management) applications such as Alarm Clock, Calculator, Datebook, Currency Converter, and Voice Recorder, the V360 can also access email accounts through POP3, IMAP4, and SMTP protocols.

Including a few preinstalled games, the V360 is also able to supports Java-based software based on the J2ME (Java 2 Platform, Micro Edition) platform. As the most popular platform for mobile devices, J2ME is deployed on millions of devices and backed by leading tool vendors.

There are currently a wide range of applications and games in multiple genres to choose from. Through the Internet or T-Zones, consumers can download programs, most for a small fee.

Internet

Equipped with GPRS (General Packet Radio Service) Class 10 technology, consumers can browse the web at speeds of up to 48 kbps through the integrated WAP 2.0 browser or a connected laptop.

But users will probably opt for EDGE (Enhanced Data rate for GSM Evolution) high-speed connectivity. Able to achieve broadband-like speeds of up to 384 kbps, actual rates will be less.

Browsing the web, users can utilize Motorola's Dynamic Idle solution, an innovative technology that gives consumers zero-click access to news, sports, entertainment, and other premium content directly from their mobile device home screen. Convenience with Dynamic Idle allows users to get the information they want with no buttons to push, and no browsers to launch.

Storage

Containing 5.0 MB of internal memory for photos, ringtones, and applications and games, the V360's free space is dynamically shared among all multimedia and productivity tools.

Utilizing the built-in MP3 player, a TransFlash expansion slot is located behind the battery door along the top edge. Additional cards can be purchased separately up to 512 MB in size.
