Design
 
In terms of design, Motorola went for a sleek, business-like black
and silver color profile. The glossy black finish of the phone face contrasts in
a good way with the brushed silver side and back casing. Additionally,
"concealed" within the black front casing is a low-res color display which not
only adds to the eye-appeal of the phone but also serves to display the time.
However, the V710 is anything but slim. At almost an inch thick and weighing in
at a hefty 4.5 ounces, its sure to make its presense known in a pant or shirt
pocket.
Lets take a look at the V710's design from several angles:
This side of the V710 shows the consistent silver and black
styling of the phone as well as the volume-adjust buttons and the speakerphone
toggle. Also of note is the bulk of the phone, which is more obvious in this
view.
Same styling applies to this side, but note the silver top of
the antenna which matches the silver of the camera lens casing as well as the
side buttons and front motorola insignia. The button closest to the antenna is
the camera toggle, and the other one activates the speech recognition
feature.
This view shows the bottom area of the V710 and its accessory
and power slots.
The top end of the phone is where the memory card slot and
headset jack are locted, both protected by fitted rubber coverings. For a
multimedia phone, as Motorola sells the V710 as, room for additional storage is
crucial. Fortunately, the V710 designers placed the card slot so that it would
not distract from the phone's overall design.
The interior of the V710 features a sizeable 2.2" color display
and silver keypad set against dark gray. Taking advantage of the large size of
this phone, Motorola has implemented large num-pad keys, a circular 4-way
navigation button and other shortcut keys. The keypad is backlit.
