Motorola V710
All excitement lost
I thought this phone was going to be the perfect phone. It will be in everything but its size. I dont want to walk around with a brick bringing my pants down. I thought the LG VX6000/T730 were big, but when they said that its going to be bigger, my excitement just stopped. Its probably going to be like the Samsung I500, a huge phone. Im dissapointed now. 😢
...
Perhaps when you see us with our new metal-cover & 265K color V710s using things like, oh, Bluetooth, you'll get excited again and take a long second look at your plastic-case, sub-megapixel LG, Samsung, whatever.
...
Well thanks. Thats what i needed. Someone to hype me up again. Other people were just depressing me with the size of the phone but i do like the sound of the metal case and the 265K color screen. THANKS MEGABIT you're alright!!! 😁
...
This may help keep the anticipation going:

I like collecting wireless handsets but that guy has all of the latest & greatest (look at the collection photos from link at top of page). He's posted tons of information on Howard Forums and says the speaker independent voice recognition is absolutely incredible. No need to record names for voice dialing- just say the name or number-- too cool, I gotta have it.

Where did you see only 15 seconds of video? Everything I have seen says 3 minutes on the V710.
I have never seen any mention of an FM radio before on this phone, that's wierd. I'd be skeptical, but I also would like to know the answer to that question for sure.....

my guess is that you will have to buy additional memory to get to 3 minutes

SanDisk Transflash memory for Motorola V710 mobile
I don't think that's it. You should be able to fit a LOT more than 3 minutes of video on 128MB flash card. The non-USA phones are over an hour. My guess is that the 3 minute limitation is due to the amount of memory (probably RAM) inside the phone. Often times the flash card interface isn't fast enough to write video directly to the card, so they store it up in RAM and dump it to the flash card after you stop recording.
...
You can purchase expandable memory which will increase the amount of video the phone can record greatly. So if you get like 128MB it could probably record a few minutes.
...
The article below indicates to me that it is at least possible to get 60 minutes of video on a 128MB card. I still think the 3 minute limitation on the V710 is due to limited memory inside the phone. My theory is that the expansion card interface is not fast enough to allow video to be written directly to the card, so the phone stores up to 3 minutes internally and then dumps it to the card after recording is over. That would make the 15 second theory suspect.

I have been sticking video on memory cards for a while (For my PocketPC). The standard seems to be about 1 Mb/Minute.
Keep in mind that this is for watchable, TV-quality video on a PocketPC-sized screen. I don't really think the video quality on this phone and the screen size will be quite the same. You should be able to squeeze a whole lot more on a 128 Mb memory card. I've seen estimates of over 2 hours(!).
Here are a few good reads on the topic:

Can we do anything with the videos besides send them over the VZW network?
I certainly hope we can download them onto a computer ... otherwise the novelty will wear off real quick.
