Data transfer, battery
So, the phone features 3G as well, but there is no EDGE support. And then there is a stupid system in which we have to set up the network… it took me over an hour to enter the parameters for the Vodafone network (that I already know by heart), and it still didn’t work. This means I can’t say anything about the browser, it probably browses. At local level we theoretically need only a USB cable and we’re all set. This is true indeed.
The phone appears as an external storage drive on our PC, but we can browse only the contents of the memory card, we won’t see the 10 MB internal memory. Even more, the phone has been trying to trick me, since after installing a 2 GB card it kept restarting. First I thought that there’s something with the charger (the battery went dead right then), but I’ve checked out another 2 GB card and there were no problems with that one. It’s not the first card that is to blame, as I’ve just took it out of a Philips, so it was just the Motorola having some issues with it. It can’t do anything with an SDHC card, a simple 4 GB one is okay (if it accepts it), but that’s it.
The battery was dead in two days, and that’s sneaky as well, since the last mark disappeared at a sudden. No problem, we can find a miniUSB connector in many places, so we can charge it from multiple sources. The battery, theoretically made by Motorola, has no capacity specified, but the BQ50 label on it kind of tells us about the presence of BenQ.
It’s hard to write a summary for this phone. Basically it would be a nice one, it has a good price, a wide range of features, an outstanding keypad and there is no problem with the overall quality either. It has so many small bugs that you just can’t overlook them. The chaotic browser settings, the lack of a jack connector, the weak camera, the problematic microSD support… this is too much. Still, Motorola VE538 has a right to live, although fans of the manufacturer will be missing the specifics of earlier models.
