Motorola V690 Audio and Communications

Audio and Communications

Sound capabilities on the V690 are fairly basic. The phone lacks a loudspeaker and a 3.5mm audio jack, which limits audio output to the phone’s speaker and downloadable polyphonic ringtones. Vibrations and downloadable ringtones provide the primary alert types, suitable for the needs of the time.

Connectivity options are minimal; the phone does not support Bluetooth, WLAN, positioning, or a radio. The absence of such features reflects the period before mobile phones became communication hubs with extensive connectivity options. Users interacted via GPRS for basic internet usage, often constrained by the limitations of 2G networks.
