Is Motorola catching up Nokia and SE? |

I recently bought a moto v620 after using SEs T68i, T610, T630 and K700i over the past few years. I find the motos design very slick especially with the v3. The v620 is better than the k700 in terms of primary phone functions eg. reception quality, battery life, build quality, call volume, strength of vibrating alarm, volume of ringer, call records. The SMS is very good and I find the predictive text the best I've used. Also the menu is very customisable and its got skins (like SE themes- and doesnt just change the colour of the bar like Nokia). Also this moto can ring and vibrate at the same time (the previous ones couldnt). The UI is way better than previous motos, where going through the menu is a pain.
BUT.. the K700i is far better for the other stuff like wap, camera, organiser, memory, radio and mp3s, ease of data transfer via bluetooth.
I seriously think that moto is on the way up, especially when Nokia produce phones that are anything but slick and SE produce phones (that are excellent) but at a snails pace. The new motos are really stylish and look very professional, with metallic casings. | |

Over here, those who have "ears to hear" avoid Moto like the plague. Too many disappointments. I used to LOVE moto. But I'll never buy another until I hear enough positive reports from actual users of their new phones. The V3 seems to have scored exceptionally well. Unfortunately, I ain't excited about clams :(

I agreed with AYA. Moreover, its pricing is way too high. |

@Angelgirl, I think it close to have almost all PC features thanks to its OS (Microsoft Pocket PC Phone Edition).
@YEOPK, the pricing for V3 is way too high probably caused by its material, but the price for MPx is reasonable compare to P910i and Nokia 9500.
The Moto MPx is a little more expensive than SE P910, that's OK cuz the extensive features (Camera, Wi-Fi, etc.). It is a but cheaper than 9500 cuz it lack of video recording (too bad for Mpx...)
Apple iPhone 4, HTC Evo 3D, HTC Sensation, HTC Inspire 4G, HTC Desire S, HTC Wildfire, S001, SO905iCS, T650 (Gold & Green), C901, W800, K660, K700, Beibei (G702), Severine (DEAD) |

Reports I am receiving about the MPx say its firmware is quite buggy. Not good news for me :(
