Where is speakerphone key located on Motorola V551?

I have had my Motorola V551 phone for a day. I find the manual very
difficult to use. The phone seems to be super, but the manual seems to
be anything but.

I have been searching for the speakerphone key so that I can turn the
speaker on. Does anyone know where it is or how to activate the $#$%#%%
speakerphone on this phone?

Thanks.

John

Once you are in a call, it is one of the soft keys.

Yup, the soft key on the right acts as an on/off toggle.

John,

If it is loike other motoola phones, once you are in a call, press and
hold the 'talk' key for a second and the speakerphone activates...

Wow ... the manual has the answer can you believe it. It's amazing how many
people never bother to open the little thing up.

One thing I find helpful is to download the manual to a PC and use the find
feature with Adobe ... I keep the manual on PPC and desktop PC so I always
have it with me.

Ann,

With all due respect I don' t think the V551 manual is anything to write
home about. Yes, it does provide some basic information but I have found at
least 2 instances where the manual is in accurate with respect to the menu
selections that are available on this phone. It's a good phone but Cingular
and Motorola could do a better job of documenting it's useage, especially in
a Cingular network.

Cheers

AFAIC, a carrier ought to be posting the user manuals of every phone
they add to their inventory, and keep them there even when a model is
dropped. Again, I'm sorry, this would never work because it makes way
too much sense. Forget I mentioned it.

Actually it makes no sense.

Why would a wireless service provider write user manuals for handsets.
Shouldn't the handset manufacturer do that?

Please name those 2 instances where the manual is incorrect.

References please. Preferably with the page numbers.

Because a provider can create a homogenous manual which covers only the
features available on the network and which includes provider specific
instructions.

There was a survey just recently that revealed the following results;

40% of women said they thought their ass was too big.
40% of women said they thought their ass was too little.
20% of women said they didn't care what their ass looked like, they were
going to stay married to him anyway.

Do the words 'customer service' ring a bell? How 'bout 'convienence'?
How 'bout doing something that makes things easier or better for someone
else - especially when someone else butters your bread? I suppose they
could write their own manuals, or they could just be a secondary host
for the same lame manuals from the manufacturer sites, or put up a damn
link for those that want to improve their reading skills while passing
time on the throne. Who gives a **** why? Forget about somebody else's
responsibility, do something, anything, just because it seems like the
right thing to do.

Hello? Cingular? Are you taking notes or am I typing too fast for ya?

You're just not getting it. Disengage your current train of thought for a
second. The handset manufacturer writes a manual for each handset it
produces. If you as a user have trouble using your handset, and the manual
doesn't have your answer, contact the salesperson who sold you the phone and
they will be happy to answer your questions. It's their job.

I give each of my customers my cell number for just such a reason.

Saving Cingular millions of dollars each year.

This looks okay for current models (at least some of them), I've not
seen this. But what about all those models they've dropped over the years?
