Motorola M3788 Review

Overall Rating

- Good signal - Bomb proof, got one and had it for years and works just as good as new and no damage. Not many phones have software and build quality this good. - People won't steal it - Can double as a deadly weapon - Battery is still as good as new. - Good sound quality - Good backlight

- Your gonna look like a right cheap plonker if you still have it and are a teenager. - Ugly - Need to remember numbers for SMS as you can't select who to send it to. - Old - It's a brick in size and weight

This phone is the perfect first phone. It's easy to use, nearly damage proof and you will get to grips with it in about 30 seconds. It is not good for teenagers and frankly they can't use it too much in public if they want to be saw as cool. I have to use it in my bag. I only care about how it looks really. Don't care about wap which nobody I have ever met uses. I don't care about the ringtones and most people I know have normal mono sounds and they think it sounds great and it sounds poor. Also most of the games out for most phones are poor(even many nokia ones) so I don't care about them. It's only downfall to me and the reason I will have to get rid of this phone is SMS. It is poor at SMS as it doese it on one long line when you want to send you have to remember the number. The signal is great for it's age and so is the sound. I wouldn't want better. And the backlight is great. It's damage proof as I have said before. It really can take some falls and knocks. This phone was sitting next to a Nokia 5210 a few weeks back at my mates on his by his open and he does not care if I want a phone like this. He threw a football as he was messing around and it hit both the phone and they when flying forward and into he air and just out the window to a concrete floor. Amazing and shocking to see. We looked out the second story window couldn't tell what they were like so we went to see. His phone was cracked and wrecked and my one was fine apart from 2 scraches on the side!!! And his phone is designed to take falls and knocks so i would of thought it would do better. Thats how good this is. I just wanna say if you get offered one on these or can get hold of one for cheap or just get given take it. Not as a main phone but as a damn good back up. Keep it in your car or at home. This phone had good software that is just as good as the build.
