Review: I just got this phone yesterday. The camera isn't as bad as FHRingo is saying, i think he/she still got it on the standard resolution (which is 800x600).

It is not as good as a real digital camera, but good enough if you want to have a camera with you everywhere you go ;).

And you can use MP3 ringtones when you get called, not when you get a message.
Pros: It's a great phone :)

Cons: You cannot lister to the FM Radio without having the earphones plugged in (it is used as the atenna). I think most phones have this problem. you can still turn the speakers on, you just have to have the earphones plugged in.

Review: This phone is fantastic!

I think the other reviewer must have damaged the camera, because this one is fab!

I had got the Motorola KRZR 3 weeks ago as an upgrade to my Motorola L7 SLVR. As the pattern shows I was a MotoMan, until my mother got the G600 and I had a look when she came by... I had a look too see if I could find any faults with it... only 2 faults, listed in the cons..
Pros: Everything is great about this phone, it is my first slider
Cons: No 3G and can't use MP3 ringtones :(

Review: i got this phone last week. i was unsure about wether to get it as i normally stick with nokias. but a combination of a good sales man, it being the lastest phone out at the time, and most of my friends having the n95 i decided to get it. i was really happy with most of the phone's specs the music player is good, the internet is good and probably the best part of itis the crystal clear screen. but. the camera on it however is shockingly bad. it's the unclearest camera ever. 5mega pixels?? def not. i honestly would say it's more like 0.3 mega pixels. to be honest i don't use phones for the camera that often so i am not too bothered about this. but if someone is getting the phone with the idea of using the camera often then don't bother. it's useless.
Pros: all the extra's that come with it. headset, earphones, texting and phoning are easy
Cons: the worst camera ever.
