 If only I could give zero stars .... September 1, 2008

I bought this phone when I switched services, since I've had such good experience with other Motorola phones. This phone might well be the worst I've ever had in any brand. The battery life is abysmal, and I have lost more calls in the two months I've owned this phone than I did in one year with other phones. I get absolutely horrible reception in my apartment, where with other phones I have not had this problem. Being able to play music is overrated, since in order to do so you have to separately purchase their music software and linkage package, plus set up a separate music program. I am making an unprecedented move and buying a new phone way before I qualify for the upgrade with my plan. What a waste of money.
 Great sound, great quality, great phone! August 28, 2008

I've purchased two of these phones but I didn't get a chance to use the phone I purchased from Amazon. My phone arrived fairly quickly but when I opened the box it was immediately obvious that the phone manufacturer's box that's inside the Amazon.com box had been opened. When I opened the manufacurer's box all of the packing material was missing and the box contained only loose phone parts (phone body, back cover, battery, AC adapter) that had apparently been bouncing around alot. The phone was badly damaged, the front of the phone was a spider web of cracks and it appeared that the camera lens may have been cracked as well. I sent it back the next day and Amazon gave me a prompt credit for my return in about a week.
After receiving my credit from Amazon I went to ebay and bought this phone for about $30 more and it arrived brand new and in perfect condition. It also came with many accessories, including software CD, data cable, stereo headset, holster, car charger and 1GB memory chip. I installed my SIM card and the memory chip and the phone works like a champ.
I loaded the phone tools software on my HP laptop and it immediately updated to the latest version. I just use the synchronization for my Outlook contacts and calender and it has worked well with only one minor issue. For some reason the software was synchronizing with the calendar information in my archive folder. Once I changed the synchronization setting to go to my current calendar folder there have been no issues.
So far I've only downloaded a few ringtones from the internet and they have downloaded quickly and flawlessly.
This is my first Motorola phone (I'm a former Nokia owner) and I have found this phone easy to use. The sound quality is very clear, definitely better than any of the Nokia phones I've had, and the signal strength and reception seem to be better as well. I've had no problems with accidental pushing of the buttons on the exterior of the phone.
The phone construction is very solid, nothing cheesy here. I have the black model and the finish is excellent and after a week of use remains without a scratch. I'm very happy with this phone and would recommend it to others although I would purchase it elswhere since Amazon's supplier seems to to be getting a reputation for poor packaging and damage during shipment.
Not Recommend To Buy This Phone August 25, 2008

I ordered the phone last week, and it came this morning. I was very happy for the fast delivery. However, when I opened the box, it looked really cheap to me. The phone was in a old package. Even the phone looked old, and there're scatches on it. Inside the package, there're only a phone, a battery, a back cover, a charger and a old Cingular manual. The phone looked like a refurbished one because the tiny screws on the back was loose. I had to use the screwdriver to fix them. It cost $145 plus tax last week, and it dropped down to $139 plus tax this week. So I already got $6 lost!!!!
Love this phone August 14, 2008
Chad Carpenter (Kentucky United States)
I just recently bought this phone a few days ago. I owned a Motorola Razor V3 before. I couldn't believe how much space this phone had compared to my older one. I loved the fact that you can buy and use a memory stick for extra space. I would recommend this over a MotoRazor V3 any day.
 Awesome little phone!!! August 4, 2008
One Cajun Lady (South, La USA)
I ordered this phone because my husband's favorite color is Blue and he just had a Razr V3. They looked quite similar. Anyway, this phone is way better!!! It has double the memory space and a lot of functions. We both love it. I might get me one some day if they come out with a hot pink or magenta. The reason I gave it a 4 star is because the volume isn't as loud as the razr and my husband is a welder where there is a lot of noise. We set it as loud as it can go and he sometimes still has a little trouble hearing... I will be getting a bluetooth headset and hopefully that will solve this very minor inconvenience. Otherwise he is absolutely thrilled with it. I would recommend this phone to anyone.
