Features of the phone:-
- Takes and sends photos on 2 mega pixel camera with 8 x digital zoom - Text messaging - Wireless Bluetooth - Has an audio player to play song files. This has a good memory already but is upgradeable - Voice commands where you can say a name of a person in your phonebook and the phone will automatically call them - Hands free speaker - Caller ID on external screen - Records and sends videos - Push to talk (lets you talk as if you were on a walkie talkie with PTT subscribers, probably not for most people) - Has a mini usb port so it can be connected to a computer to transfer data - MP3 player already has a reasonable memory (20Mb) but this is upgradeable if necessary to 1Gb. - Polyphonic ring tone
Description
This is a slim phone with light matt casing on the back and reflective panel on the front with a small external screen for caller ID and time etc. The phone comes in three different colours:- silver (the colour of my phone), black and blue. It is also a flip phone so folds up small, the dimensions are:-
Length:- 103mm Width:- 42mm Height:- 16mm
Value for Money
I’ve had this phone on a contract since March but have to say this is the best mobile I have had to date. It looks good and has a large number of features, as it’s a relatively new model it can still cost around £100-£140. After a quick look you can get the black version on phones4u website for just under £100 pay as you go which I think is good value for money.
What I like about this phone
Excellent reception.
The phone is very long when in its opened position, which makes it easier call & talk into the mouthpiece.
Battery life is fantastic and probably goes up to two weeks on standby.
Screen is bright and easy to read.
The keys seem a lot more durable and heavy duty than previous Motorola’s I have owned.
Looks good.
Folds down small so no problem putting it into my pocket.
Excellent MP3 player (so long as used with headphones) Packaging and Assembly
The phone came boxed in an ingenious drawer design where by pulling a drawer on one side where the phone is another drawer on the other side opens which contained other items such as earphones, cd and instruction manuals. Setup of the phone was relatively easy, insert sim card and attach battery to the back of the phone and charge. All the items were well packaged to the extent that any damage in transit is very unlikely whilst in packaging.
Drawbacks
Excellent phone but the silver reflective panel on the front is annoying as it always seems to attract fingerprints and the phone is deceptively heavy for its size, however, I think the battery life makes up for this.
I used to own a Motorola PEBL before purchasing this phone and I have noticed that Motorola have left much of the menus the same. For me this is a plus but some current users of Motorola phones may wish to have seen an upgrade in the menu systems. Sound quality is very good on the MP3 player with headphones but don’t count on getting a good sound without.
