General Comments
I bought this Motorola E365 mobile phone 2 months ago and have just ordered a new one. Despite the good picture quality and the sleek look of the E365, it is not very useful as a PHONE. Admittedly, part of the problem I have with this phone is the network I am on - Orange. I get no coverage at my house and receieve texts sometimes days after they were sent. But the phone is just so slow! You press a button and it can take 2 seconds to work - a long time when you're talking about a phone. The texting on this phone is awful; it uses a new type of predictive input called iTap. Texting is very frustrating and also slow, so much so that I text on my old, broken phone! Having said that, there are many good points to the E365. The camera is good, if not also a little slow on the best quality setting (!), the graphics on the screen are good, there is an alarm clock that you can set to go off weekly or daily or just once, there are a few games and a couple of them are fun, there is GPRS WAP Internet and the phone is very slim-looking and stylish. If found that, especially when I just got it, the phone had a tendancy to "crash" and need to be switched on and off again which is annoying. Overall this is a fairly good phone but definitely not for me!
