Good Points

Looks great-very unusual phone. The FM radio is brilliant. Great reception and the battery life is fine.


Bad Points

bit heavy, slow internet access.


General Comments

Well, shame on any of you who have said bad things about this phone. Take it from me, it's still desirable enough to steal as mine was taken from my gym locker recently and I really miss it. The menus were clear and easy to use, the screen was good and I never had any problems with it in the 2 years I used it. Text and phone calls were great-excellent reception. I never really used the net (which was slow) anyway and I don't know anyone with a wap phone who does, but the FM radio was great. So what if it doesn't have games or millions of ring tones-that's not what I want from a phone. The radio is a much more useful feature than something stupid like a ringtone remixer, and it's one you rarely find on phones, sadly.
The phone itself looked really unusual and stylish (mine was dark grey and silver though I know others were almost white or orange) and the rubber covers were nice. Try the motorola website for accessories.
As for the people who want batteries, they are available on the net-try sites like www.mobilephonesbatteries.co.uk or firstphoneshop.co.uk, or look up mobile batteries on a search engine. Alternatively, the motorola website sells them but they're more expensive.
This was my first mobile and I think it had many years of good service left in it, but now it's gone. I'm sure as it's so unusual that it'll become some kind of retro design classic eventually. I'd happily have another one any day, if only for the rechargeable radio. You're missed, wherever you are!
