> In reply to Kylie @ 2006-03-09 03:59 from PBhbNo, on the IGB card. Installed one that the phone recognized, but it crashed on the next start up. 512 seems to be the max.

I find it incredible that Motorola left off the 850 mgh band that is superior to the 1900 here in the U.S. I have ATT that covers most of the country with 1900 towers, but you will not do as well inside buildings without 850. However, you can buy it now at a deep discount that makes up for the lack of an 850 band.Just be careful that your carrier has 1900 coverage.

Ive had this phone for two and a half years. Ive had no problems with this phone. Paint has started to peel on a couple of the keys, but I text alot, so that is expected after the length of time ive used this phone. Ignore some of the comments below. The battery life is good. I only charge my phone once a week and it takes 4 days to drop to 2 bars. The internal screen is easily viewable in direct sunlight, no matter what angle you hold it at. Its better than most upto date phones. The large font is easy to read and now i can't go back to a small screen phone because it makes them look so ridicules. 1 gig memory card has worked with no problems. This is not a music phone and was never marketed as one. Plays mp3s ok with the single speaker. Average ring tone volume.
3G CAN be turned off. You have to go into settings, choose network option and change the frequency. I had to do this because I had this phone unlocked and T-mobile doesnt offer a 3G service. Signal becomes non existent if you put a non 3g network sim card in this phone. Signal strengh depends on your network. T-mobile is poor inside large shops, but Orange gets full strength no matter whereabouts you are (in the U.K).
Camera is ok in daylight but very poor in night time situations.
Photos DO fill the whole screen when you use them as wallpaper.
Mine came with a data cable in the box. I got used to not having bluetooth and proves I dont really need that function. Maximum video capture length is 3 minutes. The wide screen option is good for video playback.
For a 3 year old model which can be bought brand new at a budget price, this is a good reliable entry level phone.
While the GUI may not be the most eye pleasing to some people, its easy to use and navigate.
The ONLY time I have had a blank screen is when ive had it open for too long and the battery save option kicks in.
I still use mine daily as I havn't decided which phone to upgrade to yet. I will keep this phone as an emergency back-up once I get a new model. Its never let me down.

well this phone certainly looks very stately but apart from that i wouldnt recomend it to anyone..its doesnt have bluetooth which is the main drawback, you cant download any themes and i still couldnt get the data cable for this cause it isnt available everywhere....and also its quite bulky to carry around.

My phone is great except for the following.
1. I can only play one MP3 song at a time. Anyone know of an MP3 player software available so I can listen to the music in order (like a regular MP3 play or Ipod).
2. Having trouble formatting a 2 GIG Card. Any help out there.
3. My speakerphone part works perfect, but I cannot have a conversation with the internal headset.
Any help would be appreciated.

Got to be the worst mobile I ever had. The address book sums it all up, if you have a contact with tree telephone numbers it takes up the whole page !! The GUI just doesnt look good, poor taste, I am on Sony Ericcson now and its hard to get me off them. If I was developing for motorola i would certainly think of writing software with a better graphic user interface, and more ergonomic organisation of the address book for instance.
