Motorola Renegade V950 (Sprint) price range: $119.99

The good: The Motorola V950 has a sturdy, intuitive design with a crisp display and ergonomic controls. Its feature set is admirable and it offers good call and music quality.
The bad: The Motorola V950's streaming-video quality is poor and internal memory is small.
The bottom line: It's not a video handset, but the Motorola V950 is a great rugged cell phone for making calls.
The Motorola V950 is the fifth QChat phone that Sprint has released this year. We've seen the Sanyo Pro 200, the Sanyo Pro 700, the LG LX400, and the Samsung Z400, and now we come back to the company that pioneered push-to-talk in the first place . As a QChat phone, the V950 uses Sprint's CDMA network for regular voice calls, but it connects to Nextel's iDEN network through a gateway for Direct Connect PTT communication. The result is an ideal best-of-both-worlds device with a durable, intuitive design, decent call quality, and functional features. At $329, it's expensive if you pay full price, but you can get it for as low as $129 with service.
Design
The Motorola V950, aka the "Renegade," looks a little like a Razr that has been outfitted with body armor. A somewhat sleek profile remains, but the rubber covering ensures that it should withstand a lot of blows. Indeed, the phone feels rock solid in the hand and the hinge snaps open and shut with authority. Naturally, the padding gives the V950 extra girth than a regular Razr--it measures 4.0 inches long by 2.1 inches across and 0.64 inch wide and weighs 4.9 ounces--but that's really the whole point of a rugged, durable phone. Like most other phones in its class, it meets military specifications for dust, moisture, shock, vibration, and so on.
The external display is a sizeable 1.5 inches and it supports 65,536 colors. It shows all the information you need including the date, time, battery life, signal strength, and photo caller ID. Oddly, it doesn't act as a view finder for the camera, which is disappointing on a 2-megapixel phone. The camera lens and flash sit just above the display. You can change the screensaver, the backlight time, and the clock type.
Below the display are controls for the music player. They're not touch sensitive, so they need a firm press, but they're convenient just the same. You can open the music player and shuffle through songs without opening the phone. The arrangement reminds us of the Moto V750 for Verizon Wireless. In the middle of the controls is a tiny speaker.
The exterior controls are limited to a rocker and a push-to-talk button on the left spine, and a speakerphone control and recent-calls button on the top of the phone' all are covered in the rubber material. On the left spine, you'll find the micro USB charger port and a 2.5mm headset jack; rubber flaps secure both ports. You need to remove the battery to access the microSD card slot. Normally, we'd complain about the inconvenience, but on a phone designed for extreme lifestyles we don't mind.
The internal screen measures 2 inches and displays 262,000 colors. It's big, bright, beautiful, and everything shows up well. The menus have the same easy-to-use design as Sprint's Razr VE20's. The home screen shows the six menu shortcuts in the "bubble" style, and you can click through to the main menu in a standard list or grid format. You can change the backlighting time and the messaging and browser font sizes.
The navigation controls are tactile, spacious, and intuitive. There's a four-way toggle with a central OK button, two soft keys, a camera shortcut, a back key, and the Talk and End/power controls. We had no issue with misdials. The keypad buttons also have a great design. The individual buttons are large and they're raised above the surface of the phone. The numbers on the keys are also big, and they have bright backlighting. We could text quickly, dial by feel, and use the phone in dim lighting without any problems.
Features
The V950 has a 600-contact phone book with room in each entry for seven phone numbers (including a PTT number), an e-mail address, a Web address, a job title and company, a street address, and notes. You can save callers to groups and you can pair them to a photo or one of 34 polyphonic ringtones. Alternatively, you also can pair them with a video ringtone or a voice recording.
Essential features include a vibrate mode, text and multimedia messaging, an alarm clock, a calculator, a calendar, a notepad, a world clock, a voice memo recorder, unit and currency converters, a tip calculator, and a stopwatch. Besides Direct Connect, the V950 supports Group Connect, which lets you make PTT calls to up to 20 people simultaneously, and TeamDC, which lets you contact up to 35 people at one.
Outside of the basics, the phone also features USB mass storage, instant messaging and chat, a file manager, a speakerphone, stereo Bluetooth, phone-as-modem capability, voice dialing, and remote backup for your contacts. E-mail is also onboard for POP3 accounts such as Yahoo, Hotmail, and AOL, and you even can get work e-mail if your company uses Outlook Web Access. The e-mail user experience is pretty clunky, and your work access is limited only to your in-box, but it's usable in a pinch if you need it.
As an EV-DO phone, the V950 offers full support for Sprint's 3G services. You can connect to Sprint's Power Vision for Sprint TV, which includes live and on-demand programming from a wide variety of sports, entertainment, and new channels. You also can check out movie previews and stream more than 150 channels from Sprint Radio. We've said it before and we'll say it again: it's an exhaustive selection of programming with much of it exclusive to Sprint. And to top it off, the TV interface is intuitive.
The V950's music player is relatively similar to that on Sprint's other music phones. You can access the Sprint Music Store for simultaneous downloads both to your PC and wirelessly to your phone, or you can transfer music from a PC using a USB cable. The music-player interface is pretty plain, but you get album art and the controls are easy to use. We also like the multiple searching options in the online music store. Features are limited to playlists, repeat, and shuffle modes, and you can't use MP3s as ringtones. There is an airplane mode, however, and you can send the music player to the background while you're using other phone functions. When a call comes in, the music will pause automatically and will resume again after you hang up. Our only knock is that we'd prefer a 3.5mm headset jack.
With its GPS, you also can use the V950 as a directional tool with Sprint Navigation. Features include spoken-driving and visual turn-by-turn directions and integration with Microsoft Live Search (for searching for local businesses). The V950 also uses your location for Sprint's On Demand service, which offers a range of information that includes news headlines, sports scores, and weather updates personalized for your ZIP code.
The 2-megapixel camera takes pictures in five resolutions, from 1,200x1,600 down to 120x160. Other editing options are plentiful; they include seven color tones, nine fun frames, a self-timer, adjustable brightness and white balance, a multishot mode, three quality settings, and six shutter sounds (plus a silent option). Photo quality was quite good on the whole. Colors were bright and natural, and there was little distortion or image noise. When finished snapping shots, you can transfer them off the phone using Bluetooth or a multimedia message. You also can transfer them to a computer or a printer using a USB cable.
The camcorder shoots clips with sound in three resolutions. Editing options are similar to the still camera, but you also get a night mode and you can mute the sound. Clips meant for multimedia messages are capped at about 20 seconds; otherwise, you can shoot for as long as the available memory permits. On the downside, the V950 comes with a just 65MB of internal-shared memory. We recommend using a microSD card for more storage.
You can personalize the V950 with a variety of color themes, screensavers, and greetings. You can download more options and additional ringtones from Sprint using the WAP 2.0 wireless Web browser. The handset comes with demo versions of five games--Diner Dash 2, Midnight Pool, Pac-Man, Tetris and Tower Bloxx--you'll have to buy the full versions for extended play.
Performance
We tested the dual-band (CDMA 800/1900) Motorola V950 in San Francisco using Sprint service. Call quality was pretty good; voices sounded relatively natural and there was plenty of volume. What's more, the signal was relatively free of static. We noticed that some of our callers sounded a bit metallic at times. It wasn't a big deal, and it was very irregular, but it was noticeable.
On their end, callers reported few problems. They could hear us well under most conditions and they could understand us clearly. A few mentioned a slight background hiss but they didn't say it was overly distracting. Most could tell we were using a cell phone, but that's not unusual. On the whole, it is about average as far as Sprint cell phones go. Speakerphone calls were quite good, however. The volume is very loud and there were few issues on either end of the line.
Sadly, streaming-video quality was disappointing. The sound was loud, and it didn't match up with the speakers' mouths; the video was choppy and blurry. Visible pixels were common and it couldn't handle fast movements. On the upside, videos loaded quickly and we didn't have any hiccups in the stream, but this is not a phone we'd recommend for video lovers.
Music quality was much better, fortunately. The sound clarity was more than satisfactory and the phone's speaker has powerful output. The audio won't have the range of dedicated music devices, but it works fine for short periods. A headset will offer the best quality.
The Motorola V950 has a rated battery life of four hours talk time. The V950 has a tested talk time of 4 hours 34 minutes. According to FCC radiation tests, the V950 has a digital SAR rating of 0.66 watts per kilogram.

One of the better Sprint Phones...
by bluehorseshoe on September 18, 2008
Pros: Good reception, speaker and very clear audio. Solid construction. Good interface. Best bluetooth reception I've had in any phone.
Cons: Somewhat large. Battery doesn't last 240+ minutes as listed for just talking. Sprint TV can put a drain on the battery as well, rather quickly. No data cable with purchase.

Summary: I've been using this phone for the past two weeks and the call clarity is solid. One of the better phones I've had in that area. Reception is decent, but only due to Sprints network not being as strong as Verizon's (I own a BB Pearl on VZW's network and can receive calls in my office off the VZW, but not the Sprint). The phone has a solid build, but that would be the obvious due to it's military grade. Easy to navigate, and simple to set up and use. The only issue I've found so far with the device is that the battery does not last as long as indicated (240 minutes). I'd give it around 120 to maybe 180 minutes at most. If using Sprint TV with the device, prepare to bring a spare battery.
Overall, I was reluctant to go with a phone on the Sprint network, but needed one for personal use and this phone was appealing (Sprint does cover some areas that VZW doesn't). I plan on keeping the phone and the plan ($99 unlimited everything), even though I have another two weeks left on my 30 day trial.6 out of 6 users found this user opinion helpful.

Great Phone with one exception......Horrible signal
by typhoonee on October 23, 2008
Pros: I liked this phone a lot ( comparted to all the other phones sprint offers) Loud speaker good camera etc.. It gets VERY poor signal. I had to buy an air rave for my room . Never needed it for old phone.
Cons: Signal is bad. I use the phone a lot so I know. I experience numerous dropped calls. Phone shows full bars when I go to make a call and then it says serching for service.
Summary: Do NOT get this phone. If you depend on a reliable phone. This isnt it.

Great looks and function...poor quality!
by Just1poe on November 12, 2008
Pros: Phone looks great on the surface; rugged, slim design, awesome display, great functions.
Cons: Poor battery! Phone freezes and powers down unprovoked. Never have a D/C signal. Phone service sucks; 30% of the time I'm in digital roaming. Memory card placement is design flawed. Very limited call history. Difficult to switch between calls.

Summary: For the past 3 yrs, I've purchased some of the "best" phones offered by Sprint. Hands down, the best was the i870. Back then, I actually was able to make calls and D/C. From there, I went to the i880. Good phone too, but it had it drawbacks. Then to the hybrid - 902. This was the beginning of poor quality phones. To my understanding, Sprint doesn't even offer the 902 anymore. The same problems that I experienced with the 902, I have with the Renegade V950. I have insurance and had my 902 replaced 4 times before they "upgraded" me to the V950. Within 4 weeks I had the V950 replaced for the problems listed in the Cons. It seems that Motorola rushed to put this phone on the market and didn't take the time to iron out the flaws. Sum it up...their's better.

Does everything well...very happy with this phone

Cons: so far can't find anything negative...

Summary: feels great in my hand...looks great on my belt...performs beyond expectations. Sprint came out with some new phones recently. I first bought the Sanyo Eclipse and found it to be lacking in voice quality (incoming) and lacking in ringer volume. Even turned all the way up I had trouble hearing the ringer,no matter which one I used. Returned it and got a Motorola Ve20...it was a mess electronically..kept freezing up,wouldn't download contacts,etc. Took it back and got another one...same problem. Kept shutting down and freezing, would scroll through menu all by itself...electronically disfunctional. Took it back and saw the V950 Renegade..love at first sight.... I don't use or need the "push to talk" capability and was originally confused if it was a Sprint phone or a Nextel phone but was assured it would work on both networks.....Watch out though, they include a plastic holder in the package and like other people I didn't realize at first that the phone actually goes into the holder BACKWARDS....the back of the phone faces outward. Once I discovered how it worked it was fine. The speaker is in the bottom of the phone and since it was designed as a "walkie-talkie"phone they made it very loud and easily heard. I like the fact that the camera button is on the front of the phone not the side....also to "capture" a photo you press the "OK" button..like that too. Had no problem transferring photos to my email or other phones. Call quality has been exceptional. Strong signal in all areas and clear,crisp voice quality. Battery life so far is good. I charge it each night at bedtime and use it all day for calls and the battery shows no loss of bars by nighttime. I know if I used it more for music and such that I might run into a problem, but then I would advise getting the extended battery and cover. It would be well worth it for this phone! So far I can't recommend this phone highly enough. It does everything well, with the style and funtionality that I find of upmost importance in a cell phone.
I've had the phone for 3 months now and still love it. No problem whatsoever with battery life or signal. I admit I only use it for talking or photos but I do use it all day and the battery doesn't even discharge one bar...I plug it in every night on the nightstand but I don't really have to. Still has excellent voice and speaker quality. It has frozen up once or twice,but only on the "picture mail" feature,just had to remove the battery for a second and problem was solved. Recommend this phone to anyone.

Great, Does Almost Everything, Good 4 Flip Phone Lovers
by smokedout_83 on September 8, 2008
Pros: A do it all phone. Talk on a great network (Sprint). Walkie-Talkie network available also, if u use it through (Nextel). One thing I noticed off bat about this phone is that is not like all the Nextel phones where texting takes sooo! long.
Cons: The only bad thing about this phone is that the battery life is not extremely long. If you use your phone alot like me, keep a charger around or buy the extended battery 4 extra power. And the fact that u can't text while you're talking on the phone.
Summary: Basically if you're a person who wants a phone that does it all on a great network that hardly if ever drops any calls, then this is the phone ...
Summary: Basically if you're a person who wants a phone that does it all on a great network that hardly if ever drops any calls, then this is the phone u need. First of all u can walkie-talkie without being stuck on Nextel's crappy network. So basically everything u do from downloading on the net and talking on the phone is on Sprint's network, except for the walkie-talkie. And the internet on this phone is really fast for a cell phone. The pictures on the camera are ultra clear. The calls are very clear and distinctive. U can even listen to music with your memory card and make purchases from the sprint music store unlike most Nextel phones. This phone is also rugged which comes in handy for me since I drop my phone alot. Other pros are the bluetooth capabilities, text and picture messaging with a signature or without and also there?s GPS. Another cool thing I noticed about this phone is that when you store contacts you can make a contact secret. Meaning when nosey snoops look through your phone any contact you don?t want them to see will not be seen. You can also control the history for a certain contact without modify others. The ringers are very loud if you want them to be and almost every miscellaneous tool from an alarm clock to unit converters comes pre-set with the phone. The only thing about this phone that frustrates me sometimes is the battery life. I brought the extended battery and that made it completely better. Besides that this phones does everything that almost every phone out there does plus more. One more thing, the phone works best if you have the simply everything plan.
Also the speaker phone is great too.

All bells and whistles, no service!
by davidc1214 on September 23, 2008
Pros: Light weight, internet and tv are cool, but chew up the battery
Cons: WORST SIGNAL AND CALL CLARITY I HAVE EVER EXPERIENCED. HAVE TO GO OUTSIDE IN ORDER TO KEEP FROM DROPPING CALLS. BATTERY LASTS LESS THAN A DAY, AND DIRECT CONNECT IS UNAVAILABLE, EVEN THOUGH THEY SAID IT WOULD WORK. ASO, NFL ON SPRINT IS UNAVAILABLE

Summary: This phone (aside from web TV, GPS, and internet browser) is useless. I run a home-based internet business, and have to go outside in order to fill my orders. Battery needs to be charged twice per day if given even moderate use (which is very annoying). Uses extra minutes because people have to keep saying, "What?" or "Could you repeat that?" again and again. If you use the Sprint TV, it will take you from full charge to no charge in about 35 minutes. In addition, this is the battery life I get even after I changed all the phone display settings to use the minimum amount of power, sucks for talk time (about an hour of talk time before you'd better put it back on the charger. Additionally, they promised that this phone would do Direct Connect, which I use at my regular job, BUT IT IS ONLY AVAILABLE in a handful of places, with no word on when they will roll it out for the rest of the country. I had a Nextel i880 before, and aside from the bells and whistles of the Renegade, the Nextel i880 was a much better phone with much better battery life and service.
This phone is supposed to be the military spec, Direct Connect, rugged work phone, but it defeats the purpose if you have to stay in your car plugged into the charger or plug it into the outlet outside your home in order to get anything done. The only positive I have for this phone is that the network is pretty fast, but you can't use it for more than five minutes without having to plug it back into the charger.
They advertise this phone as versatile, but it is anything but. I'm actually in the process of downgrading back to my old Nextel phone right now because I've already had enough, and I've only had the Renegade for FOUR DAYS!
Don't get suckered into this upgrade... If you want a phone with a cord, you can buy one from Wal-Mart for $5. Don't waste your time or money on this hunk of junk. Simply put, this is the worst phone I have ever used.4 out of 5 users found this user opinion helpful.

Las Vegas with no electricity

Summary: The battery is not designed to handle the amount of power required by the screen and all the bells and whistles. Motorola/Sprint info is less than honest on talk time. I get about 30 minutes of talk time and it requires recharging. After about 5 minutes of talk time, the battery heats up the phone to hot, with the MicroSD card under and abutting the battery. Can't be good for the life expectancy of the memory card.
The software LOOKS good, but customizing keys, deleting garbage, setting favorites, and personalizing phone ... they've taken 3 steps backwards from the i580, which I've used since it came out about 4 or 5 years ago.
I can learn to live with everything but the battery power issue. It's just flat inadequate. The R&D people at Motorola had to know this before they put it on the market. Their claims as to battery life are not even close.3 out of 3 users found this user opinion helpful.

Very Nice, could be slightly better.
by AsItLies on September 11, 2008
Pros: Rugged, Reliable, Call Quality, Overall Solid.
Cons: Battery Life is so so.
Summary: Very Happy to have this phone, it's solid and reliable and looks great (not a fan of all the 'Bling Bling' on so many phones now).
Haven't used ...Summary: Very Happy to have this phone, it's solid and reliable and looks great (not a fan of all the 'Bling Bling' on so many phones now).
Haven't used the DC (and don't plan to), but as a regular cdma phone, call quality is great, sounds very natural, don't notice any lag. The menu system seems well thought out and easy to navigate. In 'contacts', if you press a letter, instead of going to the start of that letter in the alphabet, it only displays all contacts that start with that letter - easier to find and less cluttered.
Connects easily to PC with USB cable, so it's not necessary to remove the SD card ea time you want to off load pics or vid or upload music etc. I think it's great to have the SD behind the batt, put it in and leave it. I'll remove it when the phone no longer works.
Camera quality is excellent. The flash isn't terribly powerful but does work. To me a camera is a 'nice to have'. But you never know when you might really need one, like a car accident etc. And most simply don't carry a regular camera everywhere you go. This 2.0 megapixel camera will certainly suffice.
Speaker volume is great and very usable. Music sounds good too. Was able to easily transfer some mp3's via usb cable. The ringers I've downloaded are way loud, actually too loud ;)
Easily paired my Plantronics Voyager 520, all functionality as expected. But one great thing is the 2.5mm jack. I have an old jabra headset that can easily be plugged in at any time, during a call if need be, and the phone automatically switches to headset mode. Now I can close the phone, lay it down on a table, and talk more relaxed. With a bluetooth headset, I don't think there's a way to turn bluetooth on during a call, and then switch to the headset? Ya never know how long yer gonna be on hold ;)
Have found that the cases for the Palm Centro are about a good fit, the v950 will be a bit loose in them, but over all pretty close.
Gmail and Opera Mini just fly, very very fast. I believe with EVDO rev A, an 'always on' connection is possible. While that may be necessary for DC to work, because I'm not in a rev A area, or because I don't have DC enabled, mine connects when first used. That's the normal scenario for a cdma phone, but it's still very fast.
Battery life seems short of the spec of 240 mins talk. But so far it's only been cycled twice, and on the second half of that, so it's really hard to be sure how good it will be until it's been cycled a few times.
Overall, great style, rugged, does all the things a phone should do imho, has the extra 'like to haves', and does it well!3 out of 3 users found this user opinion helpful.

Best Phone for What I Need
by ekpowell on November 20, 2008
Pros: Great sound quality. Great reception for both phone and GPS. Nice large main screen for GPS use and the Garmin is obsolete. Great entertainment media features like Sprint Radio & TV. The only phone that does all this plus the Nextel Direct Connect.
Cons: Short battery life. Make sure to have a home or car charger in reach. I've ordered optional extended battery so we'll see how it does. Direct Connect reception is very limited, because it works off the EVDO internet rather than Nextel's IDEN.
Summary: For a motorcoach/bus driver who needs GPS, clear reception, and walkie talkie capability while in town, and some entertainment at layover stops, this is the phone for you. As ...
Summary: For a motorcoach/bus driver who needs GPS, clear reception, and walkie talkie capability while in town, and some entertainment at layover stops, this is the phone for you. As a bus driver, I travel a lot. Direct Connect only works in cities and more populated areas. But regular cell phone service works almost everywhere with the phone's CDMA 800 and 1900 dual band capability for Sprint's and roaming partner networks. You many not get to do Direct Connect or some fun stuff while out in the boonies. But you will be able to make and receive calls. Before this phone, I had the Sanyo Pro 700. It was a good phone but its all around quality does not come near that of the Renegade. For my needs, I think I finally found a Sprint phone that I will likely have for a long time. GPS, Direct Connect, media, and fun and games, and cell phone coverage almost everywhere, this phone is it.
Maybe one of these months we'll see a phone like this that will do Nextel Direct Connect on the IDEN network while doing cell phone calls on dual band 800 and 1900 CDMA. Sprint fell short of that with the Power Source phones doing CDMA 1900 only with Nextel on IDEN. Guess there's always a trade-off. But again, closest thing to that ideal phone I need as a bus driver is the Motorola V950 Renegade.2 out of 2 users found this user opinion helpful.
