Motorola In-Depth Cell Phone Reviews

Motorola Clutch i465

Overview What's Good: Call quality; fantastic speakerphone. What's Bad: Battery life; somewhat cramped keyboard. There's no doubt that Sprint's Nextel brand and the accompanying iDEN technology has been behind when it comes to new industry concepts. While CDMA and GSM companies have been enjoying feature-rich devices, iDEN users were stuck with drab, boring handsets. Though it's nothing revolutionary in regards to the user...

Motorola Rival Tin Silver

OverviewWhat’s good: Solid build quality, decent battery life, What’s bad: What’s bad: Spotty reception in areas, screen could use improvement In this age of technology and continuous connectivity, the smartphone market has inevitably dominated the wireless field as of late. Not to be stood up, there is a smaller, but equally important group within the “dumbphone” category: the text messaging phones. The Motorola Rival is a new...

Motorola Stature i9

Overview Pros: Beautiful design, functional external display Cons: Battery life not so great, flat keypad makes typing difficult Anyone familiar with the iDEN lineup of devices would probably overlook the Motorola Stature i9 and write it off as being with another carrier.  After all, it's sophisticated, offers a gorgeous exterior display, and is full of features.  On the heels of the BlackBerry Curve 8350i launch, the...

Motorola Z9

What’s Good: Great voice quality; fast 3G data speeds; good GPS system; mobiTV compatibility; sleek, attractive design; clean menus and UI; solid build; easy to hold and use What’s Not Good: Rather large for a sliderphone; some may not like tiny buttons; heavy Bottom Line: MOTO’s Z9 is a top-notch featurephone that provides access to nearly all of AT&T’s data and multimedia services in an attractive form factor. The phone is rather large...

Motorola Q9m

I first glimpsed the successor to the MOTO Q back at CTIA Orlando in April of this year. A Motorola executive seated next to me at a Smartphone Summit panel discussion pulled a pre-production Q9 from his packet and used it to check his email while I tried to sneak a look. Eventually he noticed, and after I introduced myself he let me check the device out. I remember being impressed by the new Q's QWERTY thumbboard - the layout and individual...

Motorola RAZR2-V9m

Motorola’s RAZR is an icon of cellphones, technology, and design in general.  The V3 and all of its brethren collectively became the second most successful mobile handset in history, and the word “RAZR” has become synonymous with “thin flip phone” in gadget parlance. But the RAZR eventually grew a little long in the tooth, and Motorola’s dominance in the cellular world eroded over time.  After a legion of “four letter phone”...

Motorola Q Black

Motorola launched their Q smartphone amidst a flurry of hype proclaiming it the world's thinnest, lightest, and most stylish handset to feature a full QWERTY keyboard. Still a hair's-breadth skinnier than the new Samsung Blackjack, the Q is amongst the chicest handsets to offer the full productivity of the Windows Mobile platform ... at least until Motorola's forthcoming q9 debuts later this year. The Q is now available for use on Sprint's...

Motorola ROKR-E6

The E6 is the newest edition to the Motorola ROKR series. The ROKR E1 which was the exact same as the Motorola E398 was nothing special and the fact that there was a capacity on how many songs you can load on it was disappointing. The ROKR E2 was a little better in terms of features but looked weird with its too rounded corners. Now the ROKR E6 has finally made advancements like the Linux operating system, touch screen display, SD memory card, 2...

Motorola MPX220

The Motorola MPx 220 is not a new phone to the market, in fact it is a couple years old. Old does not always necessarily mean bad because this phone can offer some of the same features that new phones offer. The MPx 220 in my opinion is one of the most beautiful flip phone’s to be released thus far. The chrome panel on the front of the phone makes it stand out like no other. The MPx 220 is a Windows Mobile Smartphone and runs the 2003 version....

Motorola KRZR-K1 Cosmic Blue

One of the most popular mobile phones of all time, the Motorola RAZR V3 was originally announced in 2004 and has since become ubiquitous in the hands of users all around the world.  Nicknamed RAZR (razor) for it's groundbreaking slim profile, the clamshell V3 originally sold for upwards of $500 - even with carrier discounts - and soon became a status symbol much like Apple's iPod in the hands of the style mavens and techies alike. Two...

Motorola Q

The Motorola Q is one of the most anticipated phones of the year. The sleek RAZR look combined with Windows Mobile makes it the ultimate business tool. Although the exclusivity for Verizon is good news for US Verizon customers, it is a big disappointment for GSM customers worldwide. Since the Motorola Q was revealed by Motorola, there has been talk about it everywhere by everyone. I have finally got my hands on the Verizon Motorola Q. To find...

Motorola RAZR-V3i

The Motorola V3i has all the necessary features that were not included in the original V3 RAZR and is evidently a major upgrade. Although it is somewhat similar in appearance, it shows exceptional improvements demanded by the contemporary wireless world, an overall better camera, potential for expandable memory, and support for iTunes, just to name a few. The faceplate also communicates improvement, as it is aluminum finished to give the phone a...

Motorola L6

The New Motorola L series are an innovative upgrade of the world famous RAZR. The L series phones are for people who like the thin style of the RAZR, but do not like clamshell / flip phones. There are three L series phones that have been released already by Motorola.   Depending on what features you need in your phone, and how much you are willing to spend, there are 3 choices; Motorola L2, L6 and L7. I will be reviewing the...

Motorola RAZR-V3 Silver

Since the days of the StarTac, Motorola has made its name on trend-setting clamshell handset design as much as it has on technical innovation. The V3 RAZR has continued this heritage of fashion-forward cell phone design, keeping Motorola on the tongue-tips of future first style mavens across the globe. The RAZR line now includes a Verizon-compatible CDMA phone (the V3c) and two updated handsets not yet available in the United States: the V3i,...
