The story of the Motorola V500
Motorola's V500 arrived in 2003 as a feature-packed silver clamshell, with a colour main screen, VGA camera, Bluetooth and a small external display for caller ID. It belonged to the generation of flips that led directly to the RAZR a year later, and its rounded, solid build is a reminder of how phones looked just before everything got thin.
Does the Motorola V500 work in Canada?
The Motorola V500 supports 2G only. Canada has switched off its 2G networks, so it cannot connect to a carrier or make calls here. Everything else works: it powers on, charges, and runs its offline features. Why old phones stop working in Canada.
What it is good for today
- External display
- VGA camera
- Bluetooth
- The snap-shut feel nothing modern recreates
- A gift for anyone who owned one, or a prop for film, theatre and photo shoots
