Reviewer: Ronald - Toronto, Canada
Date: 5th Dec 2008

All in all an okay.

Pros.
- WiFi cool feature.
- Nice & loud speaker.
- Really cool colouring, very glossy.
- Very nicely built, it feels solid in my hand. I like phones that are hardy as I drop them a lot (I am clumsy) & this phone is really strong. Good going Motorola.
- Bluetooth transfers very fast & A2DP works seamlessly.
- Nice & large display, although this drains out the battery.

Now to the cons, which are a lot more than the pros.
- There is now way to change the function of the soft keys & smart button. I was able to do this with my other Motorola's but not this one.
- Also the right soft key, the smart key both go to the Internet, even though there is a quick access Internet key on the left. I keep on pressing it accidentally & its driving me crazy!
- Also the end key is super sensitive & when I am writing text messages, I keep on pressing it accidentally & it cancels the message. Very IRRITATIING!
- Also the predictive text is useless! Having owned two Motorola's with iTAP that worked amazingly, they took it out & replaced it with something VERY irritating that hardly works. Makes texting VERY SLOW
- The phone runs out of battery very quickly due to the large screen. I was attracted to the large standby time, but it only lasts me a day maximum!

& now the worst point. The LINUX OS. It's horrible! Why Motorola decided to ditch their simple old OS for this is beyond me! I hate this phone because of the operating system. Is very slow & is difficult to navigate through.

Although the camera is & acclaimed 2MP, it's nothing near that quality. My old VGA phone takes better pictures by far. & there is NO flash.

My opinion is steer clear of this phone to a Nokia. Although I expect this phone will last & has good functions, they are rendered useless by the dumb OS.
