Vroom..........Wit Moto...
After the Motorola V8 and the V9 Gold edition, I really didn’t expect to see any more of this phone. But guess what, novelty strikes once again, and we have a royal successor to this lineup – the V9 Ferrari edition. It could be a ploy to keep their most celebrated phone in circulation longer than most people tend to remember these days, but let's give it the benefit of the doubt...
I have already done a detailed review of the V8, so it makes little sense to start over. Those who want to know what's common between the two can read the review here. In any case, let’s check what the deal is all about.
Design-wise there’s little change in the way the phone’s been made, what with a stainless steel frame supported by metal, and a chemically hardened glass housing. The battery cover now sports a new design element with a Ferrari theme and logo to complement the look. You will also see the same checkered theme on the face around the second 2-inch (240 x 320) screen. The main screen is still a 2.2-inch TFT and can display up to 256K colors.
The dimensions remain almost the same at 103 x 53 x 13 mm, while the weight is around 125g. A change in the design is the color of the keypad. When lit up it glows a bright Ferrari red – only the Call key retains its green pallor. There’s a sensible dash of red in the grooves all over the phone.
It’s got a slightly updated Linux UI, and an updated browser. To complete the experience the phone comes loaded with Ferrari wallpapers, themes, ringtones and screensavers. The inbuilt user memory is still 45MB, and apart from the 2GB internal storage capacity, the Ferrari edition also has a memory card slot. A very good thing too.
