Motorola V500

Motorola V500 is a GSMclamshell mobile phone made by Motorola, announced in July 2003 and released later that year. It is based on the same platform as the Motorola V600 and also the V300, altogether referred to as the "triplets" - these were the first Motorolas with 65K color displays and their first mainstream handsets with cameras. The V500 sports a blue and silver exterior with a blue-lit exterior display. Many other models were designated as V5xx series that are detailed in this article.
Also, the original Motorola V300 was succeeded by the V330 model in late 2004, which itself was based on an updated V5xx model. There was even a Motorola V400 sold by Cingular with minor differences.
