product arrived faster than advertised. It arived in original mfg box with all exactly as expected but with battery freshly charged. Nice touch.

Cheap phone that did what was intended; for use while traveling abroad using pay as you go SIM cards. However, the battery no longer holds a charge at all. So, I got one use out of the phone. It only speaks to Motorola's reputation.

Excellent basic phone. Good choice for the money

I have been using for about 4 months and I find it very good especially for Cingular/AT&T. My earlier more expensive GSM phones have been unfaithful to me. But this one is very reliable.

Bought a new car with bluetooth built in. Needed a bluetooth phone. This one is absolutely great. No garbage - just the phone. Popped in the SIM card from my old phone and bingo! Super hands-free!!!

Good phone for Iraq

Excellent phone. Speaker is loud enough and sound quality is great. Excellent value and price. Battery life is rather good. Reception is also very good. This phone is rather robust, which is a good thing in Iraq.

I purchased this phone to use as a GSM phone in England and France and it performed perfectly. Unfortunately, it got stolen toward the end of the trip.
