We found this on Modaco. Now our friends across the Atlantic can share the joy :)


One warning to our friends across the Atlantic: this is a phone that only it's mother could love. It is not especially beautiful and it has several warts.

But if you can appreciate its more glamorous aspects, you may not mind having to wake it periodically from its occasional narcoleptic fits.

If you don't mind rebooting the phone a few times a day as if you were still using Windows 3.1, you can live the joy of picking up POP email messages in fits and starts.

If you want to become a master of Bluetooth you too can be synching all your contacts and appointments from the couch.

Might be your best friend until a better one comes along. Or the Bad Seed. You'll have to decide.

All that you mentioned and more, is the true beauty of the beast. :mrgreen:

I wouldn't be surprised if Moto fixed all the issues in the trans-Atlantic version.

That would be cheating the Europeans out of an awful lot of fun times though.

My first thought was that they had this huge pile of returned phones to deal with, and rather than recycle them they figured they could at least make a little more money and sell them in another country. :)

"Sloppy seconds."

Now that sounds more like the Moto I know :)
