Motorola V365 at Cingular

Without any prior announcements, Cingular has begun offering the new Motorola V365 handset. The service provider characterizes the V365 as a toughened phone designed to survive common abuse, a fact reflected in its rubber-coated outer shell as well as the internalized antenna. This upgrade to the prior V360 is similarly designed with more than just phone use in mind, Cingular adds. The handset supports push-to-talk instant voice as well as EDGE broadband; a predictive texting feature is said to improve SMS texting as well as e-mail and instant messaging. A microSD card slot gives owners the further option of playing up to 1GB of music. Subscribers can buy the phone for $250 by itself or $100 as part of a two-year contract.
