Imagine a really dinky, silver-cased mobile phone that's small enough to fit in the palm of your hand.

It's also powerful enough to handle all the communications you will ever want to send or receive.

The Motorola V66 is just one of the new generation of Motorola mobiles equipped with the new-style Motorola user interface. Designed to take away stress, the new interface is a distinct improvement on earlier offerings.

The new V66 has a sleek and elegant design and is very, very tiny. Weighing in at a mere 79g, the phone is available in a cool silver or radar blue.

Motorola has designed the V66 to appeal to travellers. The tri-band capability, which works both in the UK and the US, allows global jet setters to be in constant communication with important contacts.

The V66 offers a number of features, including a real-time clock, currency converter, calculator, voice-activated dialling and vibrating alert.

It also has a devilishly clever Personal Information Management functionality (PIM) for scheduling appointments as well as a reminder for important dates.

I was very pleased to see the V66 includes TrueSync software that allows synchronisation between your phone and PC to ensure all information is up-to-date and current.

Sending text messages with the intelligent iTAP predictive texting function is straightforward.

With a standby time of up to 125 hours, talk time of up to 180 minutes and a recharge time of about 2.5 hours, the Motorola V66 is the best new phone I have used this year. Highly recommended.
