"Cutest and strangest yet coolest phone ever!"
Pros: Awesome design (love the red one)
easy to use
lots of features compared to current phone
can turn off signal and thus not have to receive calls or texts while phone is still on!!!Big plus for meCons: hard to text (not impossible) without stylist
Summary: I currently own a dare but previously owned and used the ming for a year and a half ( two years ago) but thought I'd give my thought since I just joined to check up on a potential future phone.
poor quality stylist
cheap phone material
sd card slot in worst place possible
Only hold micro card up to 2gb
no charm loop
So, he ming was the most peculiar/unique looking phone I have ever owned. While using it, I received tons of compliments and curiosity from every person that I came across (people at school, work, mall...). They all wanted to mess with it and thought it was the coolest little gadget ever! I really liked the phone but had it while I was in highschool so I only used functions like calling, texting, music and pix so never messed with the internet or any business function of the phone so wouldn't know much about it. I thought the music volume could get louder though.
OKay, on to the bad parts. The phone does look really pretty, but the outside materials are all plastic painted to look like shiny metal. The metal-look alike plate (that says motorola) connecting phone to cover is actually plastic too and can get scratched easily to reveal ugly white plastic underneath.
Also, the stylist can come apart pretty easily. I remember that miine broke after a few months (the part your you pull stylist out of phone came apart).
I also hate how micro sd card is beneath the battery and I have to turn phone off and take battery out every time I add music to card.
Overall, I really liked the phone though. The materials could be less....crappy and cheap. The design is REALLY cool though!
