5.0 out of 5 stars Open Life. Motorola Backflip with Motoblur May 26, 2011

This is a great product. It is small, yet has a larger screen then expected. It has Motorola's imfamous Motoblur, which, may I say, is awesome, and it arrived so fast that Amazon said it hadn't even been shipped yet. Seriously. That happened. Lol! Battery life is great, and experiencing this phone is quite frankly amazing. It includes access to the Android Market, which has thousands of great apps (not redundant ones like Apple's Appstore has, with repeats of the same thing over and over, which is the reason they have millions of apps), and it has a brilliant screen even though the resolution isn't HD like Apple iPhone's "Retina" display. The three touch-sensitive buttons at the lower front of the phone are completely responsive, and it has a great 5MP camera for the average user. It also films digital video for those greater moments in life, and it has a great browser. This phone is upgradable to Google's Android 2.1 OS, which allows you other great new features. It has a GPS that I haven't been able to use yet, but I've heard that it works great. It came in great packaging that was so protective that you could've thrown it off of a 200ft cliff and it wouldn't have done one thing to the contents inside. The box contained in the packaging is small and doesn't impact the environment as much as other older designs, and it also has a unique form to it. The keyboard isn't nearly as bad as it's cracked up to be on YouTube, and it is also very large and special in design. The MicroSD card slot is very easy to operate with a small switch to prevent it from sliding out, and it is hassle-free. If you have $200, I would definitely get this phenominal phone. The only better ones that I can think about that are better then this, are the Droid series, but you will end up paying hundreds of dollars more for those than this bargain. So if you have the money, buy this Motorola MB300 Backflip 3G Android Phone with a 5MP camera, Wi-Fi, GPS Mavigator and Bluetooth. This is also the international version with the warranty, which makes this deal even better.

1.0 out of 5 stars Phone was not unlocked February 2, 2012

Phone turned out to not be unlocked, which wasn't a huge problem since it came from my service provider. However it is a seriously flawed phone. I have been getting error msgs that say my "phone app" is malfunctioning and needs to be shut down. Then the phone freezes and you have to pull the battery out of the phone to get it to reset. It is very difficult to answer the phone because it freezes and won't recognize that you are sliding your finger across the screen until you've already missed the call.

In addition for some reason the voice activated calls don't work with my bluetooth. I still have to physically have the phone in my hand to do voice dialing. Doesn't that defeat the purpose of having a blue tooth in the first place? Also for some reason the Android marketplace rarely works, and my internet radio app turns on and off for no reason. That is just a few of the many annoying problems I've dealt with on this phone. I can't wait to get my upgrade in a few months!!!

1.0 out of 5 stars Not even usable as trash can fodder February 27, 2012

By John K.

Received the phone as promised. Thats the only good thing I can say for the phone. Phone is set up for AT&T. I use T-Mobile. All the pre loaded applications were for AT&T so none worked for me. I couldn't delete any of the app's and I couldn't download any. The contacts list woluld only show a history, not my contacts which I tried to load. Occasionally the contact list would pop-in. I never figured out what I did to reteive it, it just appeared magically when it wanted. The only things I could do with the phone was to send and receive phone calls. I paid $147.00 dollars for somewhat of a smartphone that would only do what my five year old basic cell phone already does. I'm sending it back to Amazon, thankfully they are only going to charge me $6.00 to take it back. The only accessory in the box was the AC adapter and a owners book which is totally worthless. Don't waste your time and patience with this phone. I'm going to a T-Mobile store and get a real phone.
