+ 1 of the strongest phones with good reception that has the trinity. camera, mp3 and blutooth. Any modern cellphone lacking those features if a paperwieght and not worth the time 2 make it or the money 2 buy it. Cheap phones with the trinity are whats up right now.

- could be improved with better photo features and camera. also better music features

Anonymous verified purchaser , “Business user”

+ This is a good-looking, very compact 'phone. I bought it as a second 'phone for business (I have a Blackberry as my personal 'phone) so as I would be carrying two 'phones this one had to be small. This fits the bill perfectly, it's very small, yet big enough to use practically, sound quality is good, and in black it looks more expensive that it was.

- The battery life is a little limited, 'though an in-car charger sorted that for me, and the SMS interface is very clunky, texting is really not quick. That's all, though!

+ It was a cheap stand in phone which served a purpose. Liked the way could go from text to text just by scrolling down. Reasonable battery life.

- So slow when inputting a text, often found fingers were 5 words ahead of screen. Didn't like the * button for a space when texting as felt like it was going backwards. Maybe this is a motorola thing as ever come across it before. Not all bad though and fairly robust
