Customer Reviews

Dont buy this phone
Where to start? I suppose maybe Motorola could've hired native english speakers to write the manual, but since it has no useful content that wouldn't have helped much. The charger moves away from the super handy everyone has one usb plug to a unique item with a silly plastic cap (until it broke off after less than a day). The phone interface is terrible, finding things is pot luck, and a lot of things (like the vile pink interface) cannot be changed. Did I mention the pathetic battery life?

Not a bad mp3 player, but I wanted a phone. Rubbish. Don't wate your money if the old V3i is still available.

average phone crippled with awful battery
The phone part of this device is a bog-standard phone. The mp3 player part of this device is pretty good, with decent sound and dynamic range. I still can't believe that mp3 players are being made without a 'resume track where you stopped' function - many podcasts I listen to are over an hour long so it takes me a few trips to listen to one in it's entirety.

The awful part about this phone is the battery. The lifetime is pathetic - a claimed lifetime of 3-5 hours of talk-time is realistically about 1-1.5 hours. The case heats up significantly when used for calls. This is clearly an instance of bad design, particularly in a phone that is a model relatively light on features.

Also, the camera is just not up to scratch in today's market. I'm happy with 2 megapix, but the colours are very cold and pixel noise is significant. Even with post-editing the images are just not good enough.

This could have been one of those understated phones that is stylish and does it's job, and that one would be happy using for years. But it seems that this isn't what technology manufacturers want these days.

beware this seller
Go Buy 2000 supply their products without any means of identification whatsoever. The brand new product I purchased came with, no means of initiating the warranty period and the authenticity of the product could not be verified. I believe that other sellers products are genuine but Go Buy 2000 supplied a so-called brand new product to me in a re-sealable plastic bag! and not a blister-pack as advertised. They will also tell you that Amazon advise them not to refund postage costs. This is of course a lie. Of course Amazon do not advise their sellers not to refund postage. Judging by the feedback Go Buy 2000 are getting it can only be a matter of time before Amazon suspend their account. If you don't want to be disappointed please use another seller
