Good Points

Admittedly, its a good phone for the content. It can do whatever all '3' phones do; record videos, and take pics etc. It also has a motomixer thing, but it's not so good.


Bad Points

There are unfortunately A LOT of bad points. For example the network I was on.


General Comments

You can take pictures and record video clips with the Motorola A835 mobile phone, but the camera isn't so good. Most of the time it's blurry and distinguished with no flash, so it is only very good in very bright light. When you are trying to record it is slow and becomes increasingly blurry, which is very annoying because you have to stay still to get a half-decent picture, and that is hardly the desired way of filming a video clip. After a while of having this phone (about two months) it became slow, and takes forever to load anything. I don't know if this is the case for many of these phones or just mine, but I have heard many complaints about it. When doing other tasks, ie: not on the main menu, you cannot see the time, so you have to go back to the main menu each time, which is quite irritating.

The quality of the ringtones are not much to cheer about, just the same simple tones each time, and downloading new ones costs quite a bit. There are a lot more things that I hate about this phone, including the size of it (why on earth is it so big?) and weight (weighs down my bag, and there is no need for it to weigh so much, it's stupid, really), but I won't go into lots of detail. Also, you cannot save pics or video clips to your sim card, therefore if you were moving to another 3 phone and taking your sim card with you, you would still have to delete all your pics and clips. Another reason that probably added to my hatred of this thing was the fact that it is a '3' phone, in other words, only 3 sim cards can be used in this, and 3 sim cards can only be used in 3 phones, so if I wanted to get a new phone, (which I most definitely am) you would have to transfer to another network, getting a new number.

To be honest, I wouldn't want to stay on 3. The minimum credit you can get is £10, and that runs out after a month.

In conclusion, don't buy it!! Sorry!
