Pros:
Slick design with a nice paint job. Calls sounded very good. Good calling features. Great battery life. |
 |
Cons:
Skimpy contact list. No e-mail support. Flat keypad is better than the RAZR, still needs improvement. Stereo Bluetooth seemed to malfunction. |
|
| Conclusion: |
|
| Perhaps the RIZR is a simple choice. It is a very slick design, solid and well executed, and it does a good job making phone calls. If that's all you want, the RIZR is a good choice, and a solid step into the slider arena for Motorola. Once you start exploring the advanced functions, the phone becomes less satisfying. The menu is a bit dated, both in its look and its organization. The multimedia functions are there, but are either too basic or, in the case of A2DP, didn't work properly. The lack of 3G on T-Mobile's network will also keep die-hard streaming audio and video fans away. Still, it's a pretty phone with a nice coat of paint, it gets strong reception, and calls sound good, so if that's all you need, the RIZR will be a satisfying choice. |
