'Though BlackBerry devices have packed in phones for years, holding them up to your head has always felt and looked awkward.'
'It's often difficult to find the sweet spot for both the earpiece and microphone.'
'It's slender and slab-like, comfortable in the hand, with the usual full QWERTY keyboard and a bright 160-by-240 color screen that looks especially good in sunlight.'
'The cross-country communication is viable with this phone.'
'The back of the phone is soft-touch plastic coated with rubber to make gripping easy and also to enhance the phone’s aesthetic.'
'Availability of USB is something which helps people to transfer data at a fast speed.
'
'Besides that, this Motorola phone also has built-in aGPS support for turn-by-turn navigation, making it a good replacement for standalone GPS navigation system.'
'The look is more corporate than cool, but there's a nice chrome stripe down the side, behind which is the MMC card slot, so there's no need to remove the battery to change cards'
'Along with the two integrated cameras are flash and bright screen capable of displaying up to 262,144 colors.'
'the inconvenient key placement may end up putting off potential buyers and frustrating existing users.'
'Colours in our outdoor shots were good, though even well-lit scenes came back blurred more often than not.'
'QVGA resolution which is now not enough for a high-end phone.'
'the new tilting display does, perhaps, make it easier to read data from the screen while the unit sits on a desk, and certainly should help when it comes to watching videos on the device.'
'The keyboard has white backlighting, which looks somewhat uneven.'
'This is attractive and comfortable to hold, but there is concern that it will discolor, or worse, degenerate from heat or over time.'
'music playback through the unit's speakers was poor.'
'the keys are mushy and have very little travel, none of the satisfying "click" of a BlackBerry key.'
'The Mogul is also known to support microSDHC cards at least up to 4 GB, thus removing the size restrictions that have typically accompanied such small slots.'
'Songs sounded tinny and lacked volume and richness.'
'It is unfortunate that the Ming's data speeds top out at pokey GPRS.'
'The Motorola MING sports plenty of features including: EDGE high speed wireless data, a megapixel camera, and a hands-free speaker'
'Only 8Mb internal memory'
'You simply switch the camera into macro mode and take a photo of a business card, after which
the software will OCR the text and then let you add this data to your existing list of contacts; very clever.'
'The phone and headset managed a range of 20 feet which is average among phones.'
'While the BlackBerry "Pearl" 8100 -- available from T-Mobile for $349.99 or Cingular for $399.99 ($199.99, with the usual contract stipulations from both) -- makes a noble effort to implement the BlackBerry service including a QWERTY keypad, camera, and music and video playback into a device about the size of a business card holder, finding, programming, and operating both simple and advanced functions can be headache- inducing.'
'Unfortunately, the Cingular 8100 series is clunky and heavy,'
'Since the BlackBerry e-mail system is optimized for slower networks, the fast EV-DO network doesn't shine quite as brightly when you're using the BlackBerry as a handheld.'
'Unfortunately, Bluetooth dial-up networking isn't supported.'
'Unfortunately, this standard cell phone also has some major flaws, especially when it comes to making calls.'
