Probably the best flip phone there is.
1 of 1 found this helpful This sleek phone is anything but ordinary in it's design, ease of use, power, and features.
The front outside screen has 3 touch buttons to access pictures, videos, music, and incomming text without opening up the phone. It also doubles as a self portrait mirror!
The inside screen is a little bigger, and will display all your menu items. Your large shortcut wheel can be customized to access things quickly such as text, IM, blue tooth etc.
The first thing you will notice is the build quality. Opening and closing it feels crisp and snappy, though you shouldn't abuse it of course. It's a solid phone, with barely any creases where the phone is put together. The back end has a rubbery texture that grabs onto surfaces without slipping, and the outer screen is encased in glass. Keypad is flush, and doesn't have the protruding mic that the previous Razr v3xx had.
The phone is powerful enough to navigate through the menus smoothly, the animations arent choppy, and the 2 megapixel camera will satisfy those who want a decent yet simple phone. The call quality is very clear from calls to the same carrier, and features 3G connectivity. I haven't used the phone to browse the internet so I cant say how it would be.

Good bang for your buck!
2 of 2 found this helpful Call is clear and on speaker is very loud. Texting with swype makes quick messaging easy, and if you arent a big fan of swype, the screen, while not overly large is easy to type on.
This is a powerful 1Ghz dual core phone, capable of browsing through the UI and web easily, and with a little work, you can play PSX games on it. It's 1GB of RAM is also impressive and helps with keeping this phone speedy.
On top of your normal android security, you also get a quality finger print scanner. Though you will encounter more false negatives, and may have to make several swipes to unlock it, but hey, its better than false positives.
It's QHD display isn't as bad as most reviewers say, unless you're serious about watching movies on a phone. The 5MP wide screen camera takes good pictures, though it can be grainy at times, you cannot change ISO settings. The promised 1080p video recording capability was never delivered, though there is SOME hope with this year's ICS update. However it's 720p recording is good enough, but is grainy in low light conditions, and is disappointing if you are expecting HD quality, but that doesn't mean you cant go out and shoot great family videos or youtube movies.
Battery life on this phone is amazing, and that's without modifying the phone. It is possible to go through a day of moderate use without having to worry about plugging it in.

If you can get it cheap GO FOR IT, otherwise dont waste your money.
While outdated and unable to play flash, it's 600MHZ cpu is capable of overclocking to 800mhz with CM7 and Set CPU, making it a very worthy pocketable Android phone.
Not powerful enough to run PSX emulators, it can still handle GBA and SNES but don't expect much beyond that. This is a great phone for browsing and texting, though sadly swype is not supported. It's not a 4G phone, but It's quick enough to do the job.
Having a headset jack also makes it great for listening to music, especially if you have a stereo system in your car with an aux port.
It's small screen made it hard to type if you have larger hands, but you can adapt to it quite well. You'll find yourself zoomed into pages to read text due to the screen.
Over all, while I did enjoy this phone, there are better ones to choose from with newer technology, and a better price for a newer device, I don't think I can recommend this unless you can get it cheap.
