Calling Features
The 6315i boasts powerful calling functions. The included voice dialing feature makes it easy to call contacts by simply saying their names. No prior voice training is required. And because the 6315i is Bluetooth enabled, wireless headsets can be configured with the phone for total handsfree operation.
The 6315i's internal memory can hold up to 500 contacts for quick access to email addresses and phone numbers. The phone lets you easily assign pictures as well as ringtones to your most common callers.

Lastly, the 6315i's GPS location technology pinpoints your exact location when you dial 911.
Messaging, Internet, and Tools
The phone's support for multimedia messaging means that text, photos, video, and audio can be sent with ease (Verizon messaging charges apply). When used in combination with the 6315i's built-in camera, MMS opens up a whole new world of messaging fun. There's also a built-in web browser for downloads and mobile web browsing. Verizon's optional Mobile Web 2.0 package allows you to read and send emails, exchange instant messages, and view your favorite Web content on your phone. You can check your email, trade stocks online, compare prices while shopping, access flight information, get movie listings, and find directions to the theater. T9 text entry, which is a technology that makes it easier for people to enter words and text on handsets, is built into the unit--a plus for mobile email and text messaging users.
If desired, the onboard GPS feature can do more than give your current location to emergency personnel. The 6315i is fully compatible with Verizon's VZ Navigator service, a feature that provides all the bells and whistles of an advanced navigation system on your mobile phone at a fraction of the price of other GPS devices and systems. The VZ Navigator service provides heads-up, voice-prompted turn-by-turn directions (with auto-rerouting if you miss a turn), local search of nearly fourteen million points of interest (POIs) in the United States, and detailed color maps that can be quickly panned and zoomed. With VZ Navigator, you'll know where you are, know what's around you, and know how to get there fast (additional Verizon charges apply).
A number of handy software tools are bundled with the 6315i including a voice memo recorder, a calculator, a calendar, and an alarm clock. And if needed, the 6315i can act as a modem connection for fast email downloads or Web browsing from you PC.

Verizon's music service is another EV-DO-powered service that makes the 6315i all the more desirable. With V Cast music, your phone is a music player, letting you jam out wherever you are. It's also a music store, and you can download songs instantly to your phone. Save your songs to a memory card with a capacity that's right for you. The 6315i supports cards up to 2 GB of memory, and the music player lets you keep your music playing in the background.
