It's simple I could not use it, I am not a big talker on mobiles & battery would not last a day, sent it back got a replacement same thing, asked them if I could choose another phone, told no as I had it 3 weeks, put it in a drawer went back to an old Nokia never used it since (don't they test these phones in the field before manufacture? ).

I got my phone 3 months ago & it was fine. It had battery problems but I could live with that. Now however it goes white & I can't do anything. It reckons there's no service AS IF! It's just so bad.

It was all well to live with because it would usually get better. Tonight I find my Motorola blank I can't use it now I hate it so much!

I was never brutal with it, it responds when I plug the charger in but still no screen I will never own a Motorola again.

Now I have to look for a new phone.

All round terrible phone I hate it.

Absolutely terrible phone, unreliable with ad hoc problems & difficult to navigate. I ignored poor reviews & bought it anyway back in 2006 but regret that now as I had to throw it in the bin after 18 months. Will never buy a Motorola again.

In a nutshell, this is American technology at it's worse. Looks cool, loads of features but don't buy the V3x to use as a phone, you will regret it.

Problems with my phone.
- Freezes on average every second phone call.
- Freezes when typing text's.
- Alarm does not always go off, even when set correctly.
- Battery lasts a day & a half with minimal usage.
- Freeze after playing a game.
- Randomly turns itself on.
- New problem it now has. Won't turn on (I occasionally get the screen to light up then it freezes & turns off).

In summary, this is by far the worst phone I have ever owed. I would never by a Motorola again, ever! I have had nothing but problems since day one, & as the phone got older the problems got worse & worse.

Reviewer: Soha - London, UK
Date: 15th Apr 2008

It started off not too bad, after a few weeks would reboot & switch off for no reason. Now it exits whatever I am doing meaning phone calls are cut off & messages are lost.

I have hardly anything stored on the phone & any texts sent to me won't come through because it says my memory is full. Have taken it to be repaired 4 times overall before I gave up.

Also it is a bit chunky & when in my pocket the side buttons tend to be pressed whenever I move an inch. Basically it's rubbish.

Reviewer: John B - New Zealand

The V3x looks great, has loads of features but as a phone it's totally useless. Motorola has put so much effort into its looks, non phone features like MP3 player (which is fantastic), 2 mega pixel camera, calendar, to do list (which is better than the Nokia) but have forgotten that the main purpose of the V3x is a phone.

The volumes are so low that you can't hear it ringing if you're in a shopping mall or the phones inside & you're outside. You can only feel the phone vibrating if you're holding it & forget about having a phone conversation in the shopping mall as you won't be able to hear the person you're speaking to.

Predictive text is totally useless. The phone has a nanosecond memory for remembering words you've put into its memory so you may as well not use that feature.

The keypad sometimes freezes & you may only work when you hit the red button & go back to the beginning of where you started, it's like playing monopoly & having to go back to jail.

Battery life is OK if you don't mind charging it every second day & I had to replace the battery within 3 months of purchasing as it was faulty.

The V3 has a really neat aluminium body but the V3x gets a very scratchable case which looks old well before its time.

I could write a very lengthy report on this phone both good but mainly bad, but have wasted enough time with this thing called a phone. So I am going to through it in the bin & look for something that can be used as a phone. My phone was not just a one off as I bought one phone & returned it to the store the same day due to several faults & the one I was given as a replacement later ended up with entirely different faults.

Reviewer: Jofrin J - Ernakulam, India

Although it is a good phone to use, the battery life is very poor. Another problem is its sound. The audio player sound & also the ring volumes are too much feeble when compared with some other same quality or even very low quality mobile phones. Another problem I faced is that when I use memory card it is not working properly. Any think on the card cannot be seen after some hours.

But another good feature is its picture quality it is very excellent & fantastic. The sound is very poor I would say it for the second time.

This phone was working fine for about 6 months, after which the battery life was ridiculous. Changed the battery 3 times still it hardly lasts a day & now every time I open the phone I get a white screen. What the heck is this? Went & bought myself a Nokia, the most reliable brand among phones.

Reviewer: Ana - Philippines
Date: 24th Feb 2008

After using this phone for like 2 months, I am seriously giving up on it. For starters, I never did like the design much. It was too bulky for me to slide in my pocket. It could be slimmer.

Texting with this phone is not really that bad. I mean, it's better than V3 that's for sure. (It takes years before I can type a single sentence with my v3 phone.) & yes, the side buttons are so damn annoying.

Multimedia features aren't that good either (Music, Videos.)

Oh yeah, my phone right now is undergoing that Emergency Only phase, which means that it's practically useless. : (.

I've had this phone 18 months, which is unusual for me, went through 3 in 6 months prior to getting the razor on contract from 3. It's been dropped on many occasions even bounced across the road & its rubber type casing protects its brilliantly, had no problems with flaking case as some have commented on. Had problem with phone turning itself off but think this had to do with me operating functions too quick & phone just overloaded. It has excellent memory, 18 months & I still haven't managed to fill it. Found slight sound distortion after about a year, could b due to it been bounced. Overall it's a good all round phone & would recommend it to anyone. I have just upgraded & feel guilty already for replacing my faithful, useful, trustworthy Mate. Only disadvantage I found was its slightly bulky, not very feminine, definitely but still is better than the 3 pink trendy phones it replaced.

Reviewer: Matt - Melbourne, Australia
Date: 3rd Feb 2008

Design, Yeah that's pretty good!
Features, Plenty of those.
Usability, Woeful, pathetic, defective & dreadful.

Let's start with the irritating buttons on the side. If you sit down in a chair when it's in your jeans pocket, it adjusts something. On occasion I switched it from Vibrate & Ring mode to Silent which is total stupid & unacceptable. But it hardly mattered. If I was in a room with a moderate amount of background noise, the ringer was barely audible & the vibration mechanism was useless. More missed calls that I can count.

Then let's move onto the technical defects on this phone.
- the white screen & rebooting. Flip open the phone & about 1 in 15 times, you get this & when it reboots, it sometimes did not function any as none of buttons did anything. Taking out the battery & start again was the only solution.

- Call drop outs, yep you're mid sentence, stop for a response from the person on the other line & it's gone dead. You look at your phone & the call has somehow ended. That's great, especially when you receive international calls on occasion.

- Freezing, yes, another one where you need to take out the battery & put it back in. Otherwise it doesn't work.

- Call failed, you dial the number. Call Failed. You dial again Call failed. You wait one minute, try again & it calls no problem.

- Predictive sms text is more frustrating & error prone than helpful.

- the battery life is a joke. 36 hours or so is about as much as you get & on standby, you may get an extra 12 hours or so.

- the menu is confusing & illogical at times. Connecting using Bluetooth nearly required a degree in astrophysics. & I am pretty good with technology so I don't believe that anyone worked it out on the first shot.

These technical issues are not just me. Look around the net & just about every site with user reviews gives it a panning & reports the same issues, which means it's a common product DEFECT! The kind of phone that will put you off Motorola's forever.

I've had it repaired (apparently), though it made no difference. After 15 months, it finally died & a quick survey of my friends who had this phone reveals that my lasted a remarkably long time by comparison. A very bad problem given that, in Australia, your phone contract is usually 24 months & your warranty is only 12 months.

The only thing it did well was as a portable modem, plugged into the laptop. But beyond that, it fails miserably as a PHONE (remember people? these are mobile phones first & foremost). SMS is unnecessarily difficulty & call connection & software stability is so questionable that it makes one wonder whether Motorola realised at some point that these were riddled with technical issues but figured they'd take the gamble on returns & pumped them into the market anyway. That's how bad it is.

But for all the airheads out there who think that a phone should be judged according to how good the phone is by looking at all its features & how good the camera is (rolling my eyes) I hope this phone satisfies you. If you're looking for something that reliably connects telephone calls, look elsewhere & avoid Motorola altogether.

Whenever a friend of mine breaks or loses their phone, the old one in the closet is always a Nokia, they last for years. I have never seen anyone pull an old Motorola out of the closet as a backup phone. Short life phones all round.

I have been using this Phone for One Year. I have Flashed it One Time & upgraded the Firmware from Moto site one time. I am overall Satisfied with this Phone. I do use Internet on it very much. Using Opera Mini web browser & various Messengers. It's handy & big keypad I type for hours on it & send mails & chat on it. I attach it to my Laptop & use it as Modem. Working Great.

I Love My Moto V3x. People who are having problem with Moto V3x please Upgrade their Firmware from their Country's Moto website.

OK, well this is my first mobile phone & I was SO excited to get it because I'd heard it was really good. After a couple of months the camera had gone blurry but I fixed that. It doesn't look that great, quite big quite a bit TOO big. For some reason now when I close my phone it's like it's staying open? This may have something to do with me trying to glue something onto my phone & that nearly brought it too its death (I wish! ) but it really annoys me because when my phones been shut for about minutes it goes onto screensaver & then once it goes black which it's supposed to do if it's been open for ages I have to push a button when I open it so the screensaver stops! So now I can't push the side buttons too check what time it is I have to open it & press a button. Anyhow, I think my rant is over now, I am sure I had lots more bad things to say about it, but everyone has their own opinion, which mine is I wasted 300 or so dollars of my money that I & all of us mainly work for & I am not really impressed with it at all.

I got this phone in pink, one thing I noticed straight away was the battery life. It is SO POOR. I have to charge it daily, sometimes it cuts halfway through a phone call!

This phone scratches really easily

I liked the feature where you get a text telling you that you have a missed call, but for some reason this function has just ceased! Rung my network & they have no clue.

I DO like the fact that you can choose to lock your applications to keep them private, like your msgs.

Overall this phone is disappointing & extremely temperamental. My first Motorola after having very reliable & enduring Nokia's, so hasn't left a good impression. I've had to replace it only after 8months of use as it has white screened permanently after being dropped. I don't know how many times I've dropped my Nokia's & they always keep working. I hated the buttons on the side especially the voice command as I'd always activate them by accident. Very annoying & Horrible phone.

Purchased 26th December 2007, checked out features & loaded contact details on the 27th, sat down with manual & fully charged phone with 1 GB external memory stick inserted on the 28th. Turned it on, it said hello, then went black screen, white screen, black screen, white screen then said no service, took me to my menu screen then turned off. It does this blinking on & off 4 times then powers off. The no service is a crock. I have a 4 year old Panasonic & a 2 year old Nokia both on Vodafone & they are going perfectly fine. Reading the reviews make me nervous so this baby is going back tomorrow 29th. But damn it's a good looking phone.

This is a boy's phone. Easy to hold in the hand & navigate one-handed. Good camera, easy to upload photos to computer via USB cable. Battery rubbish. Mine gave up after ten months. Orange replaced both battery & phone with rubbish replacements that gave up the ghost days after the guarantee expired! (isn't it amazing how often that happens! ) You can guess the rest. I am now looking for a new phone & still have five months to run on the Orange contract. The keypad is excellent for oldies like me. I also liked the weight of the phone, giving it a solid feel. Shame your mobile phone reviews site a section for reliability, you can guess what I would give it!

Motorola, please do something about your rubbish batteries!

Hi all, I purchased my phone in June 2006, so I've had it for almost a year & a half now. In summary, the phone is OK. I mean it does have its up & its downs.

Ups:
- Simple & easy to use, even though, to me, some of the previous Motorola phones were a bit tedious.
- Quite durable for a flip phone I must say, being a civil engineer working on construction sites, I am pretty sure you can imagine that once I dropped it I'd be staring at it on the floor & thinking, OK it's long gone now. Fortunately, it's fine.
- PC suite is quite good & easy to use.
- the battery can, to date, last up to 2 days, & again, being on construction sites means that I do make plenty of calls!
- Lovely keypad.
- Good with word recognition & completion while texting.

Downs:
- Camera is terrible at night & the light (it's not a flash) gives the ghost look. However its works pretty well in daylight.
- Off course the peeling of its rubber casing is fact
- For about 2 weeks, for no apparent reason, the phone would keep restarting while trying to use the messaging features, & the problem disappeared on its own (I have no idea what that was).
- It SOMETIMES cuts off during calls.

These comments are pretty much all I can think of. To make a long story short, it's a simple phone & despite some its faults, I can't say I regret buying in, nor can I say that it's an amazing phone.

Recommended for people that need something simple & not with the highest expectations! 7.5 out of 10. Enjoy.

For the last 11 years I've always had Nokia phones so the Motorola brand was new to me. Initially I thought I made a huge mistake getting the Motorola as the menu structures are not very logical & couldn't figure out how to change the basics of settings. However, after spending a whole day figuring out how the thing works & making a couple of return visits to the Vodafone store to get some settings changed I now really do like it.

The screen is great as are the video, camera & particularly the calendar (which is better than the Nokia). I've finally got used to how the predictive text works & find it faster than the Nokia.

Minor complaints are
- Keypad. You have to hit a key in the right place as either nothing will happen or you'll have hit the wrong key. Lighter tactile feel buttons would fix this.
- the battery saver which turns off the keypad lights through a light sensor can be annoying in certain lights but it's just a case of getting used to it.
- If you don't need 3G turn it off as it will save your battery. Mine's gone 5 days so far & battery indicator is 75% full.

Loving it.

I have had my phone now for nearly 2 years works well but sound is rubbish & the glass over the lens started falling out after about 2 weeks. I removed it in the end & later learned it was a common problem. Just gone out & replaced it with a Nokia n95-2 with 8GB card. No comparison the Nokia far better.

Reviewer: Nick - Romsey, UK

It's a good phone & I use it as a modem (never fails). The only problem I have with it is the battery it does not last long enough! But as it's on the lap top most of the time this is not too much of a problem.

Reviewer: Johnny - Edinburgh, UK

Design looks great but that's where it stops with this phone. Since I've got it I've had it replaced 3 times in 6 months & no. I don't throw it about, I actually keep it in a cover. Sad, some may say but it is the only way to protect the bug-ridden thing!

On all the phones I've had the screen keeps crashing & turning white. Sometimes even turning it on & its white already. I only make calls & text occasionally, & it can't even do that without messing up. Missed calls aren't shown & sometimes it cuts out in the middle of speaking to someone.

I thought it was just my horrible luck but I read a newspaper article about how 65% of Motorola's V3 were returned. That doesn't comfort me much but at least I know for the future that I'll never get a Motorola again.

I bought this phone a couple of months ago. (August 15, 2007). At first, when I saw the phone, I WAS SHOCKED because the picture was too blurry. So I asked the shop to fix it there.

DAY one - I was so excited to bring my phone home! I took pictures. The pictures are not half bad.

DAY two - I HATED IT! The rubber matting on the cover is peeling.

WEEK three - I called it a rubbish, boring phone.

I absolutely loved this phone when I first got it, I had people all over asking me about it, it is absolutely lovely looking & I couldn't have been more pleased. I am getting close to having this phone for a year & it is turning into rubbish. Although I am extra careful with this phone because it is so beautiful, it is more scratched than my cats scratching post! The camera is absolutely horrible, it freezes up, & takes forever to turn off & just takes rubbish pictures no matter what the lighting situation may be. It often freezes up for no reason & the only way to turn it off is to take the battery right out. The side buttons rarely work, it seems the only time they do work is when they're in my bag then they start calling people! GRR! The screen is constantly filthy, I gave up on cleaning it as I found myself doing it about 10 times a day! My on/off/end button no longer works for who knows what reason! It dropped calls all the time. Speakers are horrid! When I try to listen to my music it sounds like a tin can or rats clawing at my speakers & I don't even have it on loud! The video feature is a joke, it's so slow I might as well be turning the pages of a flipbook animation slowly & to top it all off now, it likes to turn off whenever it feels. This usually occurs in the middle of a phone call which is extremely annoying & is now happening about 20 times per day no lie! Help me! I love this phone but its breaking my heart!

Reviewer: Lucy - Staffordshire, UK

I have had this phone for the best part of a year on a contract & although I have enjoyed it, I can't wait to get rid of it!

- Major problem is the battery, lasts a day if lucky & that has been since day 1.
- Nice big colour screen, but always looks dirty from the imprints off the rubber on the keypad.
- The Java apps, including the audio player, stopped working altogether.
- Easily scratched & I rarely drop it or am clumsy with it.
- The buttons on the side (volume control, camera & voice activator) get accidently pressed all the time when it's in my bag, sometimes rings people which is a pain.
- When I first had the phone, it used to send me a message when I had a missed call instead of displaying it as a list. This began to annoy me as it was cluttering my inbox. I changed the setting to stop this feature, but since then it hasn't told me of missed calls & I can't find anything to change this , very annoying as I hate not getting back to people.

I am looking for a new phone at the moment, definitely looking at a Nokia or a Samsung, not a Motorola!

OH MY, oh my, 2 days left of an 18 month contract & I can't wait to find an inventive way to end this phone's time on earth. Like everyone else I have experienced less than average performance from this phone.

- Not being able to close the flip without running the risk of it white screening (what's the point of having a flip phone!).
- Non existent battery life.
- The charming message 'removed some settings may be changed' (WHAT?).
- (my personal favourite problem) Scrolling through the photos that have been taken with far more patience that should be required, only to have the whole thing lock up & freeze. Then not being able to turn it off to reset it & when I've taken the drastic yet necessary step of removing the battery, not being able to turn it back on.

I do take some comfort in knowing that I am not the only person to have experienced these problems. The people at the phone shop would have me believe that the problems I was having were 'user error'. The only user error that this phone is going to experience is the damage a user will use with frustration.

Initial period of phone was great, the speaker or ringer got so quiet I could not hear it, missed phone calls, battery life was 2 days tops if I did not use it. The phone went in for repair 4 times, had system refreshed 3 times, had the software for downloading contacts both way, so downloaded contacts sent phone in for repair & when I finally got it back upload contacts (this is where Motorola shine) they get the phone number from another person & reassign it to some one else. So when people ring the wrong caller id shows up, not to mention it managed to lose lots of contact & locked up the PC numerous times, I managed to get a full refund after 7 months of owning it, now got a Sony Ericsson & love it.

This is a brilliant phone. all you people who say you have a problem with is restarting is because it has been dropped or when closed the flip top you have slammed it down if you do have this problem install a new moster pack its so simple all your problems will be fixed.

Top phone brilliant design, perfect speaker (don't no what you are all on about how you say it is distorted), perfect camera great graphics on java gaming & the stereo Bluetooth headphones perfect quality.

When I received my V3x I thought I had the latest & greatest well I was totally taken in by the Ozzie hype.

My first bill was 10 pages long! The phone was requesting /sending 1K bytes of data every minute! Tech's at the shop couldn't work out the problem so they switched off the 3G part. Why have 3G? Good on batteries after switching off one receiver 900 MHz 3G part. Advice, turn ON Bluetooth only when you need it then OFF again. Battery lasts twice as long.

Locks up during SMS that many times I've lost count. Camera is ordinary & like others, your pocket starts talking if the buttons are accidentally pressed.

Lucky I have another phone because the V3X is totally dead after leaving it on charge over night to find it DEAD! The next day. Only 7 months old. Going back to the Telstra shop for repairs this week. Probably tell me I've damaged it or same other excuse to cover for an unreliable phone.

Buy a Nokia! I want my old Nokia back please, this phone is rubbish! Good door stopper or belongs in a magpies nest ' Metallic colours'.

This is without a doubt the worst phone ever created! I have had it replaced 4 times, once it died completely, then the screen exploded from inside, the battery charger outlet snapped off inside the phone then the screen stopped working even though the phone was on. This phone has tortured me for months. Never buy a Motorola, worst phones in the world.

This is the best phone I have ever had, I don't know what everyone is complaining about, it may just be overseas problems but I have had my V3X RAZR for about 18months & its worked fine, no battery problems or screen problems or even design problems. I highly recommend this to anyone!

Worst phone I have ever had, I have got 2 send this phone in again for repair, this is the 7th time now in 17 months. The Bluetooth never works on it, the middle keypad lights don't work, phone resets it self after I take a picture, the rubbers fell out of it so I have got keypad prints all over my screen. Basically if you were to buy this phone your mad! O yer & my speaker started to peel away so my speakers are showing!

This is a bad thing. Good doorstop though. Every time I shut the phone - say, mid way through a message, it goes back to the front screen- then it's all 'hey, I haven't finished with that yet! ' charging off USB is dodgy at best, & generally just plain frustrating. It's plugged into my computer now, & although it charged USB yesterday, now it won't do it. Junk.

Do not buy this!

First day noticed battery cover on the back doesn't fit properly despite getting person in the shop to exchange. From there, hopeless battery life despite the proper initial charge. Why did I ever change from a Nokia. Whole menu & structure is counter-intuitive.

Side buttons are always getting in the way so my trousers are always going 'say a command'.

Calls drop out. PC connection doesn't work. Low charge alarm can't be switched off. Then that stupid pulsing light keeps me awake. Just as well cos the alarm doesn't work.

I'd ring Motorola to complain but the battery would last long enough.

0 out of 10!

I got the pink V3X initially because I loved the colour. What a TERRIBLE MISTAKE :- ( I have had nothing but trouble with this phone. Please reconsider if you are intending to buy this phone

BAD
- the Keypad light only works occasionally & then for no reason stops working half way through a message
- the predictive text is awful, it doesn't remember a thing
- It turns on to mute all the time for no reason
- It freezes constantly
- the ringtones fade in & out
- the MP3 player is really bad (just buy a ipod)
- the voice dial on the side of the phone is really flimsy & any bump will activate it & ring people (big phone bill)
- I have to constantly clean the screen because it is always dirty
- the battery life is really poor & lasts a day & a half if lucky
- the rubber that separates the screen from the keypad is no good & I have indents all over the screen from the keypad

GOOD
- the camera is decent
- the Bluetooth is fairly fast

Why are you all despising the phone anyway? If you find it definitely thing is speaker needs to be a lot louder. Other than that. This phone rocks. Don't despise the cool phone.

I have had this phone for a year & have really liked it. The rubberised covering has only just started to peel at the edges but that's my fault for dropping it so much. Signal has been fine, as have video calling signal.

It is only now that the phone camera locks up & I think that is probably my fault for being clumsy (& occasionally drunken enough to drop on floors).

Phone is easy to use if playing with it for a while. Camera still takes good quality pics, & videos. This is my second Motorola & I will be definitely be getting another one. Maybe the Z3 or Z8.

Well this is the straw that broke the camels back. After contending with the poor battery life, irritating low battery noise that cannot be silenced, (& which is constantly on due to having no battery life! ), flawed Bluetooth interface, pathetic volumes from rear speaker with music, terrible learning program for writing messages, damage to the external chassis & covers just from looking at it the wrong way, no radio (not that it matters cos you wouldn't be able to hear it) & now a huge split in the glass on the outside & I didn't even have the phone on my person! Forbid if I had ever dropped it. & to add insult to injury the 3G network is only on maybe 10% of the time, voice calls lose quality over a short time & will cut out half the time anyway!

I never hear the ring tone as a result of the weak drivers & spatial bass mode is a complete joke! HAHA. The screen & number pad seems to harbour dirt & grease like a bogan mechanic, resulting in scratches & a blurry main screen.

So I went to the 3 shop to see how they would take care of my problem & even though the phone is only 6 months old & already ruined not through harsh treatment or intentional misuse, the answer was tough luck you are in our contract for another year & you can just deal with it.

I would not recommend this model to anyone & would be dubious picking up another Motorola. LEMON.

I never have a problem ever since I bought it last year. 2 Megapixel camera is really great. The plastic moulding surface is a leather touch. I think users that have problems with this phone is that when they flip it to close they are somewhat banging or slamming the screen. Not enough care I guess. I would definitely another Motorola phone with higher model.

1st don't try to compare a Motorola with Nokia!

But I am a Motorola lover (I know this sound stupid but I can't help it). I went with a friend to buy a new phones & I bought this phone & he bought Nokia N70 ( Actually the N70 was much cheaper than mine & as always from Nokia it has a lot & a lot of options & I really hate this too much :S )

This is a very good phone but needs some enhancements like:

- Speakers are distorted & so low.
- radio please :))
- Signal is always weak.
- Good old white screen! After closeting the games.
- & finally like any other Motorola phone the side vol keys stop functioning after a while.

But all in all this is a very good phone. I feel so sorry for everybody who faced a bad time with this phone.

My mum has this phone but I helped her set it up & that. I hate all RAZR I hate the design, it's such a pocket phone, so flat & wide. It's got good features I guess. It's really easy to use, & my mum is still finding new things on it. She has had it a year & is only just learning Bluetooth.

Hi Guys I m using this cell since 4 months, I m really admired, Well Motorola ad launched a new version of RAZR V3x called RAZR V3xx that is slim than this RAZR V3x.

Well guys I can give you ( especially RAZR V3x) lovers that you can increase it volume ( ear piece, Ringer, Player) more than it comes from Motorola as a default max sound.

I had increased my RAZR V3x sound more than max. If any friends want it I can guide him how to do it & will also about the tools & cracks.

Best of LUCK.

I bought this phone sometime last year, & since then, I have had nothing but trouble from it. Every time I close the phone, the screen blacks out & then restarts itself.

Also, I cannot read my sent messages or my drafts.

The camera on the phone leaves little to be desired. It is supposed to be a 2MP camera with zoom. All I received with every picture was an unfocused mess.

If I had a choice of whether I had bought this phone again, I would strongly advise against it. Although the 3G video calling was nice & the design of the phone was sleek, these were the only valuable features.
