Motorola VE66

many features in 121 grams flip smartphone. It seems that Motorola came with
the best available Motorola technologies ever. If you like Linux, I think you

CrystalTalk
CrystalTalk is technology that enables you to hear other people when you have
a call. This technology helps to hear you when you speak to speakphone. This
technology simply exclude deep voices so both parties hears super cleanly.
Camera
The camera you can find inside the VE66 has been introduced by MOTO ZN5. I
did not found any notices that this camera originates from Kodak, but it is
very supposed.
5 megapixels
The photos created by VE66 has more white colors, and more colors from the life.
By my opinion, there is still Kodak camera. With 5 megapixels camera you can
do 2560 x 1920 pixels photos.
Other camera features
There are also features like auto-focusing, light correction or image stabilisator.
You can also zoom the pictures by digital zoom.

you can store about 10 thousands of music files. 32 gigabytes are much more

Stereo music
You can listen the music in stereo quality. It is supported by stereo Bluetooth
technology called A2DP. You can use for example stereo head-phone MOTOROKR S9.

If you buy stereo head-phone from other brand you can experience worse quality.
Sometimes two A2DP headphones are not so compatible as we suppose.
