"Very happy with my choice for a first Smartphone!" on by GeneRiley
Pros: + Battery life has been excellent
+ Feels solid and protected
+ Sound quality and resolution quality are greatCons: - Can't uninstall and the fact AT&T won't allow non-Marketplace apps to be installed
Summary: The Bravo is my first Smartphone although I used my wife's iPhone 3Gs extensively and tried all the models in the store before finally choosing this one. I am very happy with my decision! I have had it for a month now and have fully utilized its features.
The 4G models had just come out and I was tempted by the Atrix with the much larger screen, newer OS, etc. But I really wanted something that I could just drop in my pocket and not always be worried about bending or breaking when I sat down. The Bravo is a great size and although it is a bit bulkier after I paired it with the Otterbox Commuter case, it feels solid and protected so I can just grab and go.
I am pleased with the flexibility of Android (primarily why I didn't want to go the Apple/iTunes path), I am happy with the battery life, call quality, volume (I often have to turn it down!), etc. I will be shopping for a larger SD card though as it is easy to burn through the 2GB which comes packaged.
My only complaints are all for the AT&T apps that you can't uninstall and the fact AT&T won't allow non-Marketplace apps to be installed (amazon appstore please keep working on them to allow!!).
I would definitely recommend the Bravo if you are looking for a well rounded entry level (without any real compromises) Smartphone. Assuming you can catch it with the 2-year contract $50 price, I think you can't do better with AT&T's lineup to get your money's worth!

"The Motorola Bravo is an excellent android smart phone!" on by Campestris
Pros: Pros: Brilliant- beautiful display, Excellent call quality, Good battery life, Quick processor, and Speaker quality.
Cons: Cons: Camera/video quality only ok and there is no camera flash.
Summary: The Motorola Bravo is an excellent android smart phone and has many high end features. This phone's greatest strengths are a brilliant display, great call quality, and a quick processor. The phone is small in size and fits well in the hand, but has a large display. It was easy to set up corporate email and sync my calendar with Microsoft Outlook. MOTOBLUR is pretty cool and does a good job combining multiple email accounts and facebook. Camera/video quality is only ok and there is no flash; however, photo editing tools are good and can enhance photo quality. Other pros for this phone include: battery life, games, ease of texting, menus, speaker, Wi-Fi capable, downloadable apps, multitasking, touch screen, search entry, and volume level. This is a great phone!

"Easy Set - Up!!" on by alan60085
Pros: I just got mine today to replace my aging & failing Moto Q9H. Getting is all set up with MotoBlur & my corporate email and such was a snap!!
Cons: I was concerned about giving up my thumb keypad. The screen keyboard works well and is intuitive, but only time will tell how it does in hot or freezing temps. I wish I could make it sync with Itunes for my music.
Summary: So far I like the phone. To be honest it is my first Android phone, so I have a lot to learn. It's been easy to learn to use. In time I'll report back on runtime and anything else I experience in the field. It's nice to have APS available. Pretty much zip for my now retired Q9H (Windows Mobile). There are a few I have been having Ap envy over, and now I can have them myself.

"Best Phone Ever!!!!!!" on by luikang24
Pros: call quality is 10x better on this than my old phone (Sony Ericcson Walkman) and the graphics are amazing
Cons: sd card located behind the battery :( but other than that, its great
Summary: got this to replace my old phone, a 3yr old sony walkman. Almost got the iphoe till i was told customer service for the phone gets charged to your account, which is retarded. Graphics are crystal clear, and texting is different but i've found it better to text sideways. As for the review saying the phone isnt built in with the swype method for texting, sorry but your wrong so please edit your review, i dont use the swype though cuz its kinda annoying, unfortunately, having a case for this phone kinda sucks as it muffles the music but it my just be my case in general, others may not have that problem. Highly recommend this phone over the iphone definitely.

"Guaranteed Brain Tumor" on by J_Sea
Pros: It rings when someone is calling in. Nice shape.
Cons: Nearly everything else. Radiation (SAR) Level. Touch screen is super unresponsive. Speaker phone bad. user interface super bad.
Summary: If I were an attorney, I would file suit in US SUpreme Court against ATT for offering this piece of trash and potentially harmful object (can you call it a phone anymore??)
Can we please give this a zero star rating???
The headaches and severe ear& head burning experienced when talking on it is a loud tip off. Plus ATT refuses to exchange it for a healthier model....not to rant on corporations being non-human and therefore unconcerned about the effects of their products or customer satisfaction, but the ol' ATT and Motorola have squeezed a very large piece of decomposed matter out of their corporate, lifeless, profit-over-people rear on this one....I'm selling it on eBay ASAP and replacing it with a dixie cup and a thread as that would be an improvement. Stay AWAY from this DANGEROUS DEVICE!!!!!
