Not so good

Overall Rating:
2.6 out of 5
By: Gary Tippie on Friday, March 28, 2008
From: Lighthouse Point, South Florida (United States)
Experience: 35 Days
Pros: The phone is very easy to use, and has all the features I want except a qwerty keyboard.

Cons: I have had the phone about 1 month. The alarm will go off sometimes when set, and sometimes while going off it cannot be shut off unless I turn the phone off. When sending an outgoing message, the phone will freeze up sometimes, and I have to press end call repeatedly to get back to the home screen. The battery life is not good either. Two days ago, I tried to answer a call with the green "call" button, but the phone went to silent and would not answer the call. The reception is very inferior to

Summary: I like the slide feature, but the phone has let me down. It has the features I want, as I have the Oakley OROKR sunglasses that Motorola did the audio for. Sometimes the phone will connect correctly with the sunglasses, sometimes not. I was happy with the phone until about 2 weeks ago, when I started having little irritating problems as mentioned before.Also, it should have a decent memory capacity, but with only 2 songs stored on the phone, it says I cannot store any more songs on the phone. I do however have a memory card, so I can put music on it. I am going to give the phone one more try with a new replacement, but if the next one has the same problems, I am finished with ANY Motorola phone.

Motto Rokr throught Alltel

Overall Rating:
4.3 out of 5
By: Christy Lindsey on Friday, February 08, 2008
From: Wilmington, NC (United States)
Experience: 60 Days
Pros: It is sleek and fashonable.

Cons: I have a defective unit that the text messageing freezes and it does not matter how big or small the message is. They get stuck in the out box and I have to turn my phone off, then back on. Sometimes they will send on their own once I have turned the phone back on, however most of the time I have to manually re-send. The point where I become displeased is with Alltels lack of desire to fix the problem. I have taken it into the store and talked with "tech support" so much that I am just done.

Summary: The messages get stuck in the out box and I have to turn my phone off, then back on. Sometimes they will send on their own once I have turned the phone back on, however most of the time I have to manually re-send. The point where I become displeased is with Alltels lack of desire to fix the problem. I have taken it into the store and talked with "tech support" so much that I am just done. I have worked for Verizon Wireless and I understand the technical side of phones, so it is really fustrating when I know a phone is defective, but an employee is unmotivated to resolve issues. And yes "RESOLVE" is a Verizon Wireless word not an Alltel word obviously.

problems in the first month

Experience: 30 Days
Pros: great features

Cons: a lot of glitches

Summary: We purchased three of these phones one month ago. We are really considering asking to return them and get different ones. So far two of them have "frozen" at the opening screen and are being "fixed" by are provider. Not a good omen that two out of three are in for service in less than one month. I would not recommend

From: Tampa, FL (United States)
Experience: 2 Days
Pros: 2.0 mega pixel camera
Ease of use

Cons: none yet

Summary: I bought this phone after returning a treo and a Moto Q, when I couldnt hear well on either of them or send pictures mobile to mobile. This phone is great, the sound, picture quality and sleekness are all a plus. This phone is also very easy to navigate. I have yet to experience any problems but I did just pick it up a few days ago.
