Don't like the idea of sending the phone off, would one of those market stalls be able to do it.

Shouldn't be a problem. I just pulled that site at random to prove it can happen.

Phone rating:

The Motorola V975 is an entry-level 3G mobile. Its specification is virtually identical to the Motorola C975, except that it is a clamshell phone, not a "candy bar" shape. Its 4-way scroll pad is better than the clunky joystick on the C975.

The V975 is a good all-rounder with everything that you would expect from a 3G phone: video calling & video content downloads, integrated mp3 player, integrated speakerphone, a good quality display, and an expandable memory. The expandable memory is a very useful feature, enabling you to store content like video clips and MP3 tracks on a TransFlash card (up to 256 Mbytes), although you shouldn't expect to be able to store as much as a dedicated mp3 player.

There are two cameras on the V975. The first points inwards and is used for video calling. The second faces outwards and is intended for taking pictures of people or scenes. The quality of both cameras is fine, and the screen is large with 65k colours. It compares favourably with rival 3G phones.

Usefully, the V975 comes with an integrated speakerphone and voice dialling - ideal for video calls.

There is nothing really missing from the Motorola V975. It doesn't have top-end features like Bluetooth, 262k colour screen or a megapixel camera, but for the price you shouldn't expect that. Instead it's a good all-round entry-level 3G phone, the only real downsides being high weight and poor battery life.
