Motorola Barrage V860 Release Thread

[excane]

Does anyone have any cases or belt clips for the v860 so far?

I wanted to order either the snap on cover with quick release or the holster. Just curious how secure they are....

Any photos would also be very nice

I have one.
The Barrage snaps into the holster rock solid. I don't see any reason to buy a snap on cover....unless you really want your phone pink
the phone sits in the holster with the front facing inward protecting the phone very well...
the holster also swivels.

Awesome, thanks for that. Is that the one available directly from Verizon?

If it is, what exactly is the "sleep mode" in the description?

yup that is the one.

I'm not sure about that sleep mode either....I thought that was used mostly with a blackberry that case has a magnet that puts your phone to sleep....not sure if that applies here.
someone else is going to have to jump in on that one...
but i wouldn't hesitate on buying the clip I really like mine...i did not have one for my previous phone and was always placing it down and missing calls.

Same here guys.... I'm having trouble keeping my v860 paired with the Kenwood unit in my car (KCA-BT100)

It recognizes it for a second, pairs up, then disconnects.

Oh, and I bought the holster. Works great, but there is no sleep mode. I thought it was the same thing as the blackberry with magnets, but no, just a plastic holster and pretty secure.

mine works good its just sometimes if the phone rings and you try to answer on the first or second ring it wont send sound to or from the ear piece. if you wait till the 3 or 4 ring it works almost everytime. what gets me is you can answer the call with the ear piece and it still wont work . i no this sounds craze but i think its something to do with it being water resistant . i tried every casio phone that had bluetooth and not one of them worked good. they did work but not what you would call acceptable . i finally gave up on casio all together.


firedak wanna trade?? lol!

OH HECK NO!!!!! I think I better keep the one I got.
On another note I tried out the Samsung convoy for a second PTT phone, What a piece that thing is!

[chevyman29]

thats one brand of phone i can honestly say ive never ran across one that was worth a crap

I used a u350 samsung smooth for a while and had very good service from it, guess that was the exception to the rule.

I did like the build of the convoy but wow! Never had a phone do what that one was.

OK so i have the Motorola barrage and i dropped it last night on the tile floor it actually chipped it pretty bad that little loop is actually plastic so no tile floors will not do well other than that i like it I'm not really having problems with my blue tooth seems OK so far.

[chevyman29]

it would figure the one part of a phone that has to work great and ill be the one to get the lemons. lol!

[excane]

Has anyone gotten the extended battery and door yet? Any photos?

Curious how much thicker it makes the phone.
