This phone is really cool! I have to admit, I am biased as I love Motorola's, but I have tried many, many phones in the past and I always go back to Motorola's.
This phone looks really cool even though it's not a slider or a spin phone. I always choose slider/spin phones but when I saw this one I couldn't help it!
When I first saw the phone because of the red 'ROKR' display on the screen I was a bit put off as it does make it look a bit 'manly' and crap, but you can take that off and put a nice picture on it. (I have put a picture of my dog & cat cuddling so it looks cute & 'girly'!)
When the phone isn't being used the keypad is blank. When you go to the mp3 menu the keypad turns into an mp3 player, showing the fast forward, play, pause etc instead of the numbers and letters.
I don't use the phone for the mp3's even though that is what it is aimed for, but it just proves that you can have this phone even if you don't want to use it for music.
But the music player on it is good too. I have a few songs on it and it does turn into an mp3 player!
I have to admit though, it does get annoying for it's usability. Sometimes when I am pressing the buttons for something else - like seeing missed calls or typing a text message, I accidentally press the music player button. If the phone is on loud sometimes you can actually turn on a song when you don't want to and it gets hard to turn it back off!
And it has a key lock function on the side by sliding up a silver tab, but it still lets you dial emergency calls. This would be a good feature if it didn't keep pressing the buttons when it was in my bag. I can't count the number of times it has tried to dial emergency calls when I don't realise! Which isn't just 999, it's also 112, 911 and whatever other numbers there are! (If there are anymore?)
And why did Motorola change the size of the usb port on their new phones? Now it is smaller, so all my old car chargers and home chargers don't work on this phone so you have to buy them all over again!
The software on the computer is very good for the phone. You can transfer songs very easily and you also have that really cool music thing which lets you cut songs where you want so you can have ringtones as certain part of songs that you choose instead of having to have the whole song.
I have had the phone for a few months now and there isn't a scratch on it. The whole phone is very smooth so it is actually quite hard to scratch it. I have dropped it a few times and not a mark on it!
The camera is not great because it's only 2 mega pixels and has no flash, but I have always felt that if you want a good picture then you should use a camera!
And I couldn't believe it when I bought the phone for only £120 brand new! (on PAYG and I put my own sim in it- at the Carphone Warehouse)
But the best thing about this phone- the thing that actually made me go out and buy it (yes, when you hear this you may think that I am quite sad)- is that it speaks to you! You have an option that the phone can read out your contacts when you scroll through them, it reads out numbers when you dial and it can read out text messages when you receive them and ones you send out! Me & my friends had a great laugh with this, sending my phone rude texts so it read it out, and it reads them out in the voice of Kit from Knight Rider! (well, I don't think it's really him but it does sound like him!) Luckily though, you don't have to have this option on, which I found out after I was in a quiet shop and received a text, which my phone then proceeded to read out, much to my embarrassment!
Anyway, a very good phone and I definitely recommend it.
