Connectivity

With the included USB-cable, users can transfer between a PC and the Motorola V635. Additionally, the V635 can pair and synchronize with other Bluetooth devices within a 10 meter radius. Although restrictive, this prevents interference between the V635's peripheral devices and those belonging to others nearby.

Aside from including PAN (Personal Area Network) and OTA (Over-The-Air) technologies, the V635 also features SyncML. As the common language for synchronizing devices and applications over any network, SyncML allows any personal information, such as email, calendars, to-do lists, and contact information, to be accessible and up-to-date no matter where the information is stored.

Conclusion

Keeping a similar shape and design as the V600, Motorola hopes to keep the golden touch with the release of the V635. Including an expandable memory slot, the added flexibility releases the V635's full potential; allowing consumers to utilize the powerful 1.23-megapixel camera and MP3 player.

As a formidable business device, the quad-band GSM frequencies allow weary travelers to take it with them worldwide. Taking advantage of EDGE connectivity, transferring files at broadband-like speeds makes working away from the office possible.

Diminishing its connectivity and multimedia forte, the transfer rate through the USB-cable are slow while the included stereo headset is mediocre at best.

But the Motorola V635 is hard to criticize. With a vividly bright LCD, sufficiently loud speakerphone, and excellent keypad layout, the V635 is truly a well-rounded phone; with strengths in imaging, audio, connectivity, messaging, and design.
