Comment: Very sold, well built feel to this phone.

Contrary to the CNET reviewer, the screen responsiveness is fine.

Camera has noticeable lag between pressing shutter, and photo being taken.

Seems to have very good battery performance.

Again contrary to CNET reviewer.... I don't have much time for Swype.I immediately over to the alternate, the Android Ice Cream Sandwich keyboard,generally acknowledged as one of the very best.

Good: Small and cool has a lot for its size.

Bad: Why not put a 1 g chip on board. motorola!! (

Comment: I have a book reader music player a calender about 4 apps . Then My wife founds a great game on the play store I have to juggle all my apps just so I can have enough memory to up load it. Why Motorola you do great phones and I am stuck with the mini for another year due to my plan . Put a bigger chip in it!!! however I am impressed with what it can do with its lack of memory.

Good: small, tough and exceptional against rivals

Bad: I dont see whats so bad if i am buying a good phone under 90 quid.

Comment: I was wanting to buy this phone for a replacement for another phone. This does have a decent amount of internal memory, 121 mb is much more memory available than other phones such as the htc explorer.

600 mhz is decent enough to do many things, for example, watch videos etc. I was much better than i thought.

I want it

Good: everything

Bad: nothing

Comment: Its size and weight makes it easy to carry. It has all the functionalities of a high end smartphone: GPS, camera + LED, excellent connectivity (Wifi, bluetooth, 3G, FM, DLNA)
The little thing I particularly like is the screen's haptic feedback.
I haven't noticed any sluggishness. As responsive as my Nexus S.

The size of the screen is not a problem as I intend to keep the nexus for everyday tasks. It is not designed for intensive web browsing anyway, it is a rugged phone!
Colors are good (nothing compared to the Galaxy S3 shinny unreal colors)

Good: Price. Size. Weight. Functionalities

Bad: Can't be rooted (yet). Can't uninstall original apps

Comment: I was a bit worried by the reviews, but went for it anyway on Amazon at 79 quid. At that price it is worth every penny spent. I intend to use this phone as a secondary, utility one, when doing outdoor activities and sailing.

Good: nothing

Bad: everything

Comment: Don't make the same mistake I did and buy this phone, it's rubbish. I am trying to find a way to return it without having to take another one in its place. I can't find a singe good thing to say about it, worst thing I've ever paid for in my life.

I own it
