Motorola V265 / V266 / V276
DON'T BUY: Doesn't turn off when closed
I'm a verizon dealer, and these phones are starting to come back for return because the button at the top of the screen doesn't get pushed when the phone is closed. The phone doesn't turn off when closed. VERY BAD DESIGN!

I have 3 of them without any problems. This is the only mention of the problem that I have seen. You might just have a bad one.

Obviously not every phone has that problem otherwise we would have heard about it before you saw this problem. Keep in mind that it's a new phone, return yours for a new one, and if it's really a problem I'm sure that Motorola will fix it. Your User Review doesn't say anything about the phone's value other that you happened to be one of the small percentage that got a defective one.

I realize it's a new phone. That's why people haven't reported this defect more. They may not have noticed that their phone stays on even though it's in the closed position. I had a second return today. I think I'm mostly pissed because I have to tell my customers to contact Motorola for the repair, which takes a few days. It makes me look bad and it makes verizon look bad.

for a 710. CS at my local corp store just nodded when I told them about the issue. I simply asked them which phone has had the least amount of returns, to which they replied, "Well it seems like all of the V265 and the LG 6100 phones have come back, so I would steer clear of the 6100. So far, other than complaints about the camera, everyone seems to love the 710." I personally could care less about the camera. I have a Sony T1 that goes everywhere with me, not to mention my D30 and FZ20 that I take on trips. But they assured me the 710 was one of the most reliable phones they have. I expressed to them how important a reliable phone is to my business, and that I can't be hanging up on callers and dropping them left and right. Again, they assu...

Are you guys keeping in mind that once the lid is closed, the backlight will stay on for however long you have it set to(mine is 20seconds)?
...
I have not had an issue with this and this is the first I have heard of it! Mine works really well and I have 2000 anytime minutes so on the phone often!
