PROS:
This phone has everything... And everything is EXCELLENT. Why? It all just works... easily.... and at a VERY High Quality. I was surprised. I thought it would be another over-priced, over-blown piece of crap. Nope! It is worth every cent. maybe more.
Briefly, it has:
-Java Games (pinball, bejeweled, etc..) rivals play on my desktop...EXCELLENT
-Video Clips Player and Recorder.... Video Quality is one of the best in any phone, records sound along with the video.... EXCELLENT
-Camera / Photo Capture... there is a tiny lense with a convenient external button for that quick pic! Also, the lighting is adjustable, PLUS it has 2x or 4x zoom.... Quality is Absolutely stunning and rivals many digital cameras. You can easily e-mail any pic with two pushes of a button.....EXCELLENT
-There is a convenient tiny storage slot in the phone. The little card is 64MB and is the size of a hole punch..tiny. It slips into an SD Card (included), and can easily transfer data, pics, music, video into a computer with an SD card slot.... EXCELLENT
-SPEAKERPHONE can be activated during any call with just one button push, and the speaker is very loud, the volume can be adjusted with a convenient side button devoted solely to volume control of all sounds from phone .. EXCELLENT
-There is an MP3 player which can be instantly activated with one push of the external buttons on the side. The interface is stunning and top quality that rivals or bests most on the desktop computer. you can group music into different lists, modify the order, modify playback...the sound is an A- for a cellphone which is pretty good, not the best but not bad at all sounds great... plus you can play music through your speakerphone!!!...which is very loud like a radio EXCELLENT
-YAHOO IM is included on the phone and operates just like on the computer. You can save multiple Yahoo IM accounts. It's all in color and can play a unique programmable sound when someone IMs your open Yahoo IM account. you can leave it on all day and stay in touch through Yahoo IM... for practically free (real cheap to send IMs... i think about 5 cents a message)...EXCELLENT
-The outside display always shows the time and date. When someone calls, it displays caller id. CONVENIENT AND EXCELLENT
-other pros include: nice built in "screen savers", easy bluetooth connection/strong signal, voice dialing available, a planner is included (not the best, but still exists), you can modify display colors just like windows XP and there are preset colors (like autumn, pumpkin, ocean, etc..), easy navigate menus, t-zones web access (for a fee), polyphonic ringtones, nice bright large medium size color screen, usb cord with easy connection of phone into any usb port on computer.
CONS:
The only MAIN thing I dont like about the phone is the look. It is as attractive as a tampon or pantiliner. ...it does it's job but is weirdly shaped, and not beautiful to look at.
other minor complaints include: jack port for the headphones is not standard-sized, video recordings can only be 35 seconds max, too much use of Yahoo IM or bluetooth can drain battery twice or three times as fast.
EXTRA BEAUTY TIP:
How do I deal with the ugly phone shape? I use the Motorola OEM leather phone case. And please note... you MUST use the OEM official case made by Motorola. Or you will be not covering this ugly monstrosity effectively and beautifully with non-OEM versions.
