Nice little phone

I went ahead and ordered up this phone from a T-Mobile rep that highly recomended it since he was using one himself. I was in a toss up between this one and the blackberry 8120. When I got the phone and played with it for about 3 days, I ended up returning it cause it just wasnt for me. I was coming off a HTC Shadow to this, so I couldnt get used to texting on this phone since that is the majority of what I do, I hate my shadow so dont get me wrong this phone is way cooler then the shadow. I mean if you dont care for stuff like wi-fi, and whatever other features a smart phone may include, then go ahead and give this phone a try. I can honestly say that out of all the non smartphone/blackberry handsets T-Mobile has this phone has to be the nicest choice you can make, if your with T-Mobile. If you read the reviews for this phone on any other web site, there constintly comparing this phone to the I-Phone, which is typical of any idiot doing a phone review. But I have my own opinion on people who compare every phone on every carrier to the I-Phone, NOT EVERYONE HAS AT&T!! I-Phone is an awesome phone. But personally I think ill pass on the $120.00 a month I-Phone users pay and stick with T-mobile. I did return this phone and opted for the blackberry, but thats just me I like the suretype keyboard it has, it works well for the amount of texts I send. To make a long review short this phone is pretty cool, the way the phone goes into music mode or camera mode and all the number disappear is a nice touch. and the keys feel like actual buttons since they added that vibration feature everytime you dial a number or even while your texting. One thing i thought was really cool that isnt really advertised as one of the phones feature since there main focus is that morphing keypad is the songid feature this phone has, just hold the phone of to the speaker for about 20 seconds and it tells you what songs playing on the radio.

This phone has a very innovative design, the keypad changes as you change application. I found this the best feature of the phone next to the scroll wheel that makes every list easy to navigate through. This phone has many neat features that I had never seen and others that I wish it had. My main problem with this phone is the battery life, it lasts for only a short while in my opinion. I use my phone a lot to text and play music, a batteries main power drain. So compared to my Rizer Z3, the battery on this phone was a major down grade. Also I've noticed any slight knock will make the phone go through a power cycle. I don't mean dropping it or doing some thing worse. Just bumping the phone to hard will make this happen. Of course these problems may be limited to my phone, but I think there will be more of the same complaints from other users. Also for music lovers the speaker on this phone is not up to par. In order to hear the music you have to turn it all the way up and then it starts to have that loud speaker crack and cackle. I'm returning mine and waiting for the Nokia 5610 that Motorola copped most of their ideas from in the first place.

I love this phone, esp if you are into music. The wheel is a great and I think a very bold feature to put on to a phone. Hey iPods have it why not a phone. I recommend this phone to anyone, esp a music lover.
