No value for Money, Could have thrown this phone

Motorola boasts too much about it features, but silent about Android version, it is a 1.5 ver Android. Though style is good, ergonomics is awesome, but when you come to usage part it has lot may negative values. Very-2 slow processor, sub 512 MB internal memory, looks like a west-waste beaner phone. Add to apathy is always available but not of use telephonic support. Advises you to Factory Reset every time. This causes data loss every time. I am unable to understand how come Motorola build such type of phones. Slow response is another problem. You have to wait for 5-10 seconds to get your recent dialed number loaded. It dials for you, but flashing the subsequent screen after 3-4 seconds meanwhile you may try it again, and it queues your request.


BIG problem with utmost difficulty in transferring contacts, it allows it only through gmail account, and you never know where your numbers will wander, unable to find numbers at proper label. all have gove to other.


BIG problem with Bluetooth too, you have to download a separate application names "Bluetooth File Transfer". That too provides very restrictive services. Very difficult way to transfer files using BFT.


Problem in logic of listing "Frequent Dialed Numbers", you will find strange appearances in list.


Battery is another problem area, catalog boasts 6 Hr talk time, but the background process perhaps eats much of it and it dies by day end. My 4-yr old Samsung performs even better.


Text messages are able to put very short messages, perhaps 128 char. only  so it would cost on SMS bill and it divides the outgoing messages.


You can not logout from gmail account once logged in, helpdesk advises "Factory Reset" option for it.


Performance of 5 MP Camera is okay, Google map is okay,  Multiple e-mail accounts okay but here also response time is like working on a TDC-12 computer(Mainframes of 1970s) you have to wait for 10-15 seconds while it loads.


Service support promises response in 24 hrs, but waiting to get one since last 68 hrs.


Please think ten times before going for it.
