The Motorola V265 is a basic low to midrange handset. It only has a 128x128 screen and a VGA camera, but it does have BREW 2.1 and WAP 2. It's external screen is just a basic black and white deal. All of this, I'm betting, is to save costs and make a cheap phone with the newest software. It's also fairly small; much smaller than the V710. It might be right in thinking of it as the V710 small, and less featureful, brother. It still has speaker phone, which is nice, but it doesn't have a memory card slot. The side buttons are a bit hard to press and quite "cheap" feeling. As for the phone software, it looks like any other recent Motorola on Verizon; that is, it looks like a scaled down version of the V710, although the font isn't proportionally scaled down, so it's very readable. One improvement over the V710, though, is that the OK button is now much easier to select without pressing a directional key (it's raised up from the direction keys more). It has the typical voice command stuff from VoiceSignal that every phone seems to have these days. PhoneScoop information about this phone can be found here. Technical details from QUALCOMM can be found here, but you'll need extranet access.
