Camera, Quality/quantity of ring tones, Memory
Slow texting, annoying menu
Me and my mate both bought one of these Motorola E365 mobile phones at the same time, never having read or heard about them.
Lets start on the camera, the main selling point of this phone.
Its a good quality camera, with 3 resolution modes and 2 light modes (it has a low-light mode where it will provide a good picture in slightly dark light). It would have been better with a zoom, but thats not too much of a problem. I have found sometimes though, that when i click to go on camera or view a picture, it will say 'Please wait' then just quit back to where i was (i.e. menu). This can be very annoying when you are trying to show people your pics.
Memory on it is quality, i think it is 2mb shared, i've got around 80 pics on there and 5 ringtones, and still have space for more.
Menu: Can be irritating, when you click menu you get a 9 options, then clicking each one will give you more. To view your pictures, you must click menu, more, media centre, photo album, then your album.. would have been better with an option on the main menu.
Texting: Is ok once you turn predictive text off (although i've never used it before on any phone, but my friend has and he likes it).. it goes fast at first, but then starts to slow down, and you find yourself hitting a button 3 times, only to see its still on the last word
Screen: Is very large, with great color. Tip though: keep the protective cover on if you get one, i've dented and scratched mine a lot lol.
One bad point, which happened on both phones, is they get dust in them. Mine has a lot in the top left corner, which you can see very badly when the light is off, most of it disappeares when you turn the light on, but you can still see some.
Battery: Mine will last maybe 3 days off a full charge, when im not using it much. If i'm using it it will go about 2 days.
Sound: Phone Call.. Seems quiet at first until you get it in the right place on your ear, then it is fine. Ringtones.. Most of the standard ones are loud, easily heard via. the back speaker.
WAP: I use this a lot, very easy to use, but sometimes when you disconnect, it stays connected and you need to turn your phone off to get it to disconnect. One time i missed that it was still connected and it charged me £3 before i realised.
