Common card · No. 479473

The Motorola V series is a lineup of compact flip phones designed by Motorola as a successor of the StarTAC line. It was originally released in October 1998 as v3620 on the analog AMPS network in North America, followed by a digital GSM release in other territories as v3688 or v998 (China) in early 1999. Based on a clamshell design like the StarTAC series, its body is 25% narrower by comparison and at 2.7 ounces was the lightest and smallest cell phone at the time. Because of its physical characteristics, it became highly popular for being fashionable. In 2000, a GSM variant for the North American market was released as the v3682, while a cdmaOne variant was released there as v8160/v8162 ("Vulcan"). The original V phone was succeeded by two updated versions: first the v3690 then the v50, before they were majorly succeeded by Motorola V66 and the flagship Motorola V60 in 2001.
