Advantages: it has all the basic needs and does look good Disadvantages: has failed me many times through freezing, battery life and general features

Having previously had the samsung e530 and loved it so much it became to broken to use, i needed to change my phone contract and get a new phone. As i was already on o2 through phones 4 you, i spent time looking for a new phone, decided which ones i liked then rang o2 to change the contract and get myself a better deal on my chosen phone - the motorola rizr. My mum had not long bought the new krzr and was really happy with it so i took this as being a good incentive to chose a motorola. The deal i got with phones for you left me paying £28 a month and gettin 600 texts and 600 minutes tuesday to friday then 1000 minutes which is amazing after my previous contract with them had me paying £35 a month to only get 300 mintues and 300 texts!! I recieved my phone within a few days and was realy impressed with it as i hadn't seen it in the shops so was unsure as to what to expect! i spent a good few days figuring it out as i hate to read the manul and like working things out myself, but i slowly realsised i was going to have to read it as i couldnt find a lot of the features i would have expected to be there or even anything similar after my last phone. Having read then manual it was apparent that it wasnt that i couldnt find the features...they just werent there! Within a week of me having the phone, i kept trying to work the voice command, uyet not only did it never understand what i was saying, it led me to texting the wrong people and also froze on a number of occasions. The screan would go white and say please wait which i discovered could last for a good 20 mins before i gave up and turned it off and on again. As this kept happening i gave up using the voice command and havent had any freezing problems since yet i don't really feel that thats the point! Now that i've had my phone for a couple of months, i have to admit its done ok. Not great though! By shear bad luck i managed to trap my phone in my car door as i shut it which has left the top part not sitting qite flush with the bottom bit anymore, and i thought that this was the reason for my battery messing up as my phone wouldn't charge at all. I spoke to o2 - who were really helpful - and tried charging my phone with my mums charger, which worked so leaving me with the conclusion that the charger don't las long ass my mum was on her second aswel. Yet a month later, my ohone battery is clearly worse for wear - and evidently not due to the damage i gave it as it worked fine for a good few weeks after this - with my battery changing from 'fully charged' to flashing empty within a day or two if im lucky. This i dont think is acceptable as im a mere 6 months into m 18 month contract and don't want to be having it get worse and worse over the next year. All in all i pprobably wouln't advise buying this phone. It's doing ok at the moment but im having to only use it for ringing, texting, and alarm and the occasional photo as not only does it not have much else, not i dont want the hassle of it freezing like before when i use more complicated features! Having searched around recently i cannot see it on any of the bigger company websites which leads me to beleive that its not in stock anymore due to the upgraded rizr having already hit the shelves. I am also now looking to change my phone as im nto happy with it which gives me a lot of hassle that i would prefer not to have yet if you just want it for texting, ringing and the odd picture its not too bad.
and as far as im aware, a music player, yet i dont use it as the memory isnt big enough to take more than one song if you have over 30ish photos stored on there too!
Advantages: Lots of features, easy to use Disadvantages: Low memory
This has by far been the best mobile phone that I have ever bought. It slides really easily and has a cool "tattoo-like" design on the back when it is open. The keypad locks when it is closed, so I have not had the problem of the phone operating functions such as the camera while in my pocket, which is a big improvement on my previous phones. Extremely straightforward to use, I found the menus easy to navigate, although a few of the items were a ... ...to master the controls. One of the great things about the phone is that it can be used when it is closed, which can save time and the main functions of the phone, such as the camera, can be reached by side buttons. Very fun phone as it has a camera, video and audio capabilities so if anything else gives me more room in my bag as it is like an mp3 player, camera and phone in one. It also comes with a data cable to transfer data to and from a pc, which ...

Advantages: Cool Design, Menu easy to use, Good functions Disadvantages: Keypad buttons a bit hard to use, Heavy
...I have never had the Motorola RAZR or the SLVR. I used to have the PEBL, so I am not really used to a phone like this. Don't worry, I do know what the RAZR is like so I can compare it to this phone.
This phone reminds me of the RAZR. It seems like a RAZR without the flip function. The slide function of this phone is excellent, you only need to push it with no force and the mechanism does it for you. The specs of it are:
Bluetooth
WAP
GPRS
USB ... ...No doubt after a while Motorola will bring out ones in pink, green, orange etc etc.
I am not used to the round menu button on the front and keep pressing the wrong button (I have really fat thumbs!) and when I text I keep pressing the wrong button, but I'm sure that will come in time.
Under Games & Apps it has a 'pocket EBAY' on it. Now, how cool is that?! I do sell and buy a lot of things on ebay and I have just started a new job where we don't ...

Advantages: many functions and asthetically pleasing Disadvantages: sound not great
this is a very good looking phone and from my experience, it does not scratch easily (and if it helps, i am very careless with phones). my center silver button fell off after 2 years and the screen sometimes goes white for two seconds then goes back to normal but other than that, the phone and battery are still in great condition and like i said, i am very careless with phones. it has a color screen, blue tooth, all types of messaging, games, internet, ... ...the camera is very good, and the picture editor is awesome! messaging and calling are very easy on this phone and i personally love the layout and the skin options. it's my current phone and i love it. it's no surround sound system but the sound is satisfactory. but i wouldn't recommend it for someone who wants to use it as a music player without headphones. ...
