A superlative Smartphone marred somewhat by difficult to install and quirky PC software

Feb 26, 2008

Rating: 9 out of 10 (Spectacular)
Pros: Sleek, great performing phone with loads of useful and cool features
Cons: PC software is difficult to install
Opinion:
I was a previous owner of the Motorola A768i and loved it. The Motorola Ming (A1200r), which I purchased on mainland China for $285.00 (2080 yuan in February 2008), exceeds any and all expectations I had of the phone based on my previous experience with the A768i, as well as the many reviews I had read.

The best cost effective solution for a smart phone - as on date

Oct 29, 2007

Rating: 9 out of 10 (Spectacular)
Pros: Excellent Still Picture quality, fast OS, touch screen, hand writing recognition
Cons: Poor Video Recording Quality, Poor quality of the metal finish on the sides and the flip cover
Opinion:
You can not get a better phone for the cost that comes with it. The photo quality seems to be better than some of the digital cameras which cost about the same. The very fact that Linux is the OS solves the sluggishness of rivalling smartphones. If software updates are provided for the phone, it can take a long time for the phone to become obsolete, and one has to keep in mind that there are relatively few networks in number which provide all latest standards of mobile telephony.

 

Best Value for money Smart Phone

Aug 21, 2007

Rating: 8 out of 10 (Excellent)
Pros: It has got everything for the price it comes for
Cons: Poor Video recording capability
Opinion:
It has the best design of all smart phones that I have seen. Except for the poor video recording capability, every other aspect is stunning for the very little amount I paid for it.
