"hello, i am plastique"
Pros: good reception, good sound quality (pretty big pros)
Cons: plastic-y like a toy phone, VERY FRAGILE, terrible battery, strangely slow software
Summary: this is the cheapest-feeling cell phone i've ever owned. ever since they started putting cameras in phones, it seems like the phones themselves have suffered. i just wanted a low-cost phone with speaker. the speaker phone is actually pretty good. the voice-activated dialing is pretty bad (just like all voice dialiing). this phone works reasonably well overall and has very good reception, but it can be really frustrating. the software (except for the texting app) is decent but it's SLOW. and verizon decided reverse the select and exit buttons, in a very counter-intuitive way. i'm always hitting exit when i should be hitting select. so poorly thought (this is a verizon decision, not a motorola decision). anyway, i've had the phone for almost 2 months now. i give it a C.
the guy who's in charge of verizon reception should have a holiday or street named after him. the guy who makes decisions about verizon cell phones should be taken to an empty field and have live gerbils tossed at him.

Our family has 4 of these phones. All of them have been replaced for various reasons within 6 months of purchase. Reciever and microphone failures are an unending problem.
