 not worth it June 5, 2008
probably the worst part of this phone is the texting. not only do i not like the style of the SMS program, but the texting is so slow on this phone that i'll have a full sentence typed but it will still be one the first couple words. then you have to wait until it catches up to you and see if you've made a mistake. this gets really annoying if you're writing more than two word messages.
the lag in texting applies to everything else. this is by far the slowest phone i have ever owned.
the one positive thing i will say about this phone is that i like the option of having a normal ringtone (one that actually sounds like a phone); that, however, is a feature of all motorola phones.
as far as the 2MP camera, do not buy this phone for the camera, as you will be disappointed. the quality is horrible. i thought that a 2mp camera would take better pictures than the 1.3 that i had on my previous phone. i was sadly mistaken. pictures from this phone look good neither on the phone or on a computer.
if i could afford it, i would trash this phone and just buy a new one, but i'll have to wait until i can renew my contract and go back to nokia.
it's ok, but not great April 14, 2008

I used to have an old Motorola Razor and I decided that this had a lot of new perks. Yeah, sometimes. But it's definitely not the greatest..
PROS:
- it looks nice; there's that pretty design on the back when you slide it open
- I'm biased here but it's MUCH faster than my last razr with mp3, good message storage, etc.
- good battery life!
- you can charge through your computer
- easy transfer to computer
- camera is surprisingly clear; obviously not great, but pretty good
- OK at recording videos- sounds are compromised a bit.
- when you play the music, it's really clear. pretty loud, too.
SO-SO:
- it takes a while to get used to texting/typing on this phone. but you begin to get used to it and yes, I type faster than the phone can process but it's not too bad.
- the music player is a little useless; I like to close my phone and listen to the music but if you set it like that, you can't "close ALL your applications when you close the phone."
- pre-set games suck.
CONS:
- a little bulky compared to my razr.
- the alarms: I swear they didn't go off for me more than once..and I woke up late..
- sometimes, when a call goes through/I call someone, I can't hear them and they can't hear me. This gets REALLY annoying when I have to call them back. This happens at least twice a week..
- I don't know if the problem is with my service or not, but my friend has tried to call me 10 times once when I had no service and my phone didn't pick up any of the missed calls except once. I don't know what's going on. But that wasn't the first time; people have tried to call me and I never get that missed call notification..
All in all, it's an OK phone. I've had it for about 4 months and I don't love it because of the cons, but I'm pretty stuck with it. I also think I'm getting a little tired of Motorola.. maybe I'll go to Samsung or Nokia next time.
Horrible! April 10, 2008

I have had this phone for about 8 months now. And I am on my 3rd phone!
I center round keys have fallen off every single phone I have had. The keys are held on by glue and they do not remain sticky enough. I have avoided leaving the phone in heat, or in my pockets, but it still somehow falls apart. TMobile has been good enough to replace the phone, but I have had enough, but I signed a two year contract, so there is nothing I can do now but wait.
I have a friend who has the blue rizr, and hers is still in great condition. Maybe it is something about the pink one.
Other than that I love this phone.
Warning:center button falls off April 9, 2008

I've had this phone for almost a year, it's been a great phone, I especially have enjoyed the camera-it takes great pictures! Only down side is the main select button (in the middle of the circle) fell off a month or so ago... soon after that, the circle arrows came unglued as well.
 Doesn't charge!! March 13, 2008

I've had this phone for about 3 months now. It will NOT charge! I have tried many different outlets, but for the past few weeks, the phone won't charge. When it does charge, it doesn't hold a charge. I've heard of others having this problem as well. The phone is also slow. It doesn't go where you want it to go right away. The phone is awesome for a while, but then all of these problems start happening. I wouldn't buy this phone. I am going to pay the price to get a different one. I hate it.
