“The MOTOROKR is a capable phone all in all, however it might not be able to match up with other Smartphones on the market. The lack of third party application has hampers the platform, and the inability to edit document files might turn away some potential business users. The camera is not the best and the music keys are not the most user-friendly. The muffled voice audio from the earpiece is a let down, as is the lack of on-screen T9 that forces users to use the stylus, and hence increases the chance of losing it.On the other hand, the E6 design and MOTOROKR campaign may still work pretty well for the young crowd that the company is hoping to capture. The great user interface, excellent handwriting recognition, generous pre-installed games, native standard earphone jack, and the fun ancillary programs will appeal to Asian markets. The voiced bilingual dictionary and the fact that you can now enter Chinese by writing it might interest language learners. The speediness of system and the reasonable price tag will also attract users that have been hesitating to join the smartphone family.”
