    Good Points: Can get a lot of good fun use out of the camera, and store a lot.
    It's a robust mobile (me = butter fingers).
    Customisable i.e. able to change background, screensaver, colour theme, keypad shortcuts and you can personalise contacts etc.


    Bad Points: Lagged keypad response, so it's frustrating navigating through the menus and writing messages and so on, because it's so slow.
    Some of the menus, sub-menus and information bars seem illogically arranged, and totally butcher the notion of correct English grammar. It's horrible.
    Not enough features to keep up with newer model mobiles, which generally boast more media functions, java-enabled games and applications, and of course, memory.


    General comments: I had the Motorola E365 mobile phone for a long time. It's not bad value, sturdy, it works, and you can have fun with the the built-in camera (and transfer pictures too), but the response is slow, and it is generally out of date with newer, faster, more customisable, better looking mobiles.

    Motorola must be kicking themselves after making the E365. It is truly the worst mobile phone that I have ever owned.

    Not only is the screen quality bad, but the features are stingy, and the camera is nothing to shout about. The battery life is poor, and I have had over 10 different problems with it.

    The Motorola E365 mobile phone was a big let down. Numerous problems were encountered with the phone. It was a terrible battery saver, and the camera was terrible! The good points however, were that the screen was simple and easy to use.

    I got this phone for my birthday and I loved it. It's a good phone for someone who is getting their first phone (which was me at the time) but honestly I would look at something a little bit more advanced. Infrared is a huge feature on a phone and you would have to be crazy not to by a phone without it. Other phones like the SAGEM MYV55 or the Sony Ericsson T610 and T630 are a little bit for advanced and you can tape songs off the net and set them as your ringtone. They are the same price but ...

    The Motorola E365 is a good enough phone over all, this was my first Motorola and I was impressed. I would recommend it to people.

    Positive aspects:
    The main reason I bought this phone was for it's size - it really is small, and a lot easier to keep in a pocket than many of the clamshell designs. It's a very 'professional' looking phone, and not overdesigned with curves and wacky shaped buttons like many mobiles. It has a very nice, bright, screen, and everything is very readable.

    Negative aspects:
    The buttons are too small for regular use, and their clicking seems a bit cheap sometimes. The phone's software is bloate ...

    The Motorola E365 was a replacement phone for a Sony Ericson, bad bad choice. The main draws are the camera and the price. At £80.00 for a camera phone you would think you couldn't go wrong. After a mere few days the screen had been scratched and got a dusty coating on the inside, don't know how. I expect the phone screen to get scratched, its bound to happen but not to the easy extent this one does. When typing a txt message I found that I kept pressing the total escape button, bringing y ...

    Overall I say this phone is a good one and I like it as this is the type of phone I've always wanted to have - but I had some minor problems with the phone which I've mentioned in the summary of bad points - rest of its features are cool.

    The Motorola E365 is a good phone compared to the ones that I have mentioned above. It is one of the best camera phones for that price. And definitely, what most of the reviews that the other reviewers have written is in my experience incorrect!!!
    This is one wonderful phone.

    Well, after a dodgy Nokia 3510 & 7650 I thought I would get a phone from a company with a good reputation, what a mistake to buy a Motorola!
    The phones software is so slow to use, The microphone quality is poor & people struggle to hear you on the other end, The screen scratches very easily, The thin paint on the buttons flakes off easily, The battery life is pathetic, The camera takes grainy pictures, The phone can't be set to silent when its charging & you can't get the phone to display a 12 ...

    The Motorola E365 is a cool mobile phone with a rubbish load of options and most are very cool, good design and it can take a knock which is handy if your all thumbs like me. Love the quality of the camera during the day, slightly less so at night that said to get the most of the camera (and the ring tone) options you really need to get the USB cable and like it up to you Laptop or PC.

    The only problems I have is the SMS features which only lets you type 4 or so words in the spell checker op ...

    I purchased the Motorola E365 without consulting any reviews just before Christmas 2003 as an upgrade to the irritating S.E.T68i which I never liked.
    The E365 is a phone you will either get along with or you won't. Other reviewers have reported various problems with theirs, thankfully I've had no problem whatsoever.
    Generally, this Motorola has just about everything that most people would expect in a mobile phone. The few petty criticisms I could list would be a drop in the ocean in compariso ...

    The keypad of my Motorola E365 has scratched very easy. I find that text messeges get very slow if you are inputting a long message. Picture quality on the camara is good in daylight but only poor in artificial light. I am finding it hard to get a data lead at a good price. No shops have them.

    The Motorola E365 is defintely an unfinished product, it is the worst phone I have ever bought and makes me think twice before I every purchase another Motorola phone again.

    Overall the Motorola E365 phone is excellent for the price, the graphics are great and there is so much more to do on it than my last phone - Nokia 3310. It cost me only £80!

    I bought my E365 online from orange.co.uk in February 2004 because I could get it FREE with a promotional minutes+ texts contract package. In general I am happy with it but it does have a few irritating aspects - just like all phones I suppose.

    The camera facility is great fun and gives good quality pictures. I found a cable and software on the web so I could download my photos to my PC and then email them. When I was on holiday in May I just took photos with my phone, then downloaded them ...

    Had the Motorola E365 mobile phone for less than 2 months, very happy with it for all the features.

    All was going well until i made the mistake of holding it when going for a 30min lunchtime jog, my hand got a bit sweaty & 2 of the butttons on the phone stopped working. Now cant send text messages, set screensaver, adjust volume.. etc. all i can do is send and recieve calls (although i can't access the address book).

    good phone, but don't hold it on your hand for a long period of time on a ...

    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 ...

    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. T ...

    This Motorola E365 mobile phone is amazing. I was looking for a cheap digital camera phone for under £100 and did not want to get the Siemens MC60 becuase of the bad colour screen etc. I was just about to pack it in and not buy a new phone untill I came across this. The first thing that struck me was the price. I thought that the MC60 was the only camera phone under £100 I was wrong. This phone has all the features as my mates Sagem My65 has (which is £150). The games are brill ...
