Design
The Motorola v176 has the clam-shell design and looks like a smooth pebble when the flap is not open. There is an external antenna on the top of the mobile phone that enables better reception in area where there is poor signal. Motorola lends this phone its classic clam shell design, though not as sleek as the slim phones. Nevertheless, the sturdy phone has a soft keypad which is easy to operate. There is a round navigation key in silver color and the usual receiving and ending call keys. Features
The Motorola V 176 has a phonebook that is capable of storing around 500 entries.

You may also set the phone in vibration just in case you think you won’t be able to hear the ring. The phone offers excellent sound clarity and hearing the person at the other end even in a noisy area is not a problem at all. It is a great entry level phone for those who are looking for a cell phone to make and receive calls along with some additional basic features.
