I have never been a fan of Motorola cell phones but they come up with some exceptional model once in a while. One of these cell phone models which was really appreciated even if it does not come with the latest high end technology features is the Motorola Tundra.
<-300x250 Medium Rectangle - center->
This cell phone can operate in both 2G (GSM 850 / 900 / 1800 / 1900) and 3G networks (HSDPA 850 / 1900). This cell phone was released back in January 2009 and it comes with 98 x 53.8 x 24 mm in dimensions and 107 grams in weight. When you take a first look at this cell phone, you will notice that it’s quite thick and very different from the super slim cell phones that are being constantly released on the market these days. The Motorola Tundra comes with an external display which measures 1.05 inches in diagonal and it has a resolution of 96 x 80 pixels. When you open up the phone, bigger and more beautiful display will be revealed. The internal display measures 2.2 inches in diagonal and it comes at a resolution of 240 x 320 pixels, offering support for 256K colors.

The Motorola Tundra may not come with the latest high end technology features but it does offer support for MP3 ringtones and it also covers vibration alerts and downloadable polyphonic tunes. The phonebook of this cell phone can help you store up to 1000 contact entries which should be enough for you to save all the phone numbers you need. As for the call records, the Tundra will always be able to show you information about the last 20 missed calls, dialed calls and received calls. The internal memory of this cell phone is 100 MB but thank to the microSD card slot, you can extend the memory of this phone with up to 4 GB which should be more than enough to store all the files you need.



Unfortunately, there is no integrated WI-Fi on this cell phone and even if this is no surprise to us, you cannot use this cell phone to connect to the internet whenever you have a wireless hotspot somewhere near you. There is an integrated Bluetooth even if the Tundra does not come with infrared. The integrated camera is a 2 MP one and it cannot take the bet quality pictures. However, you should be able to get some decent images at a maximum resolution of 1600 x 1200 pixels.  You can also use this camera to record some videos. The Motorola Tundra even uses the Linux / Java-based MOTOMAGX operating system to run.  Aside from other features like a MP3 / AAC / MP4 player, organizer, voice dial and voce memo, this cell phone even comes with decent battery life. The Motorola Tundra may not be a fancy cell phone, but it has a Li-Ion 1130 mAh that can keep the device on for 5 hours and 16 minutes of battery like and up to 480 hours in standby mode.

If we were to speak about the top smart phones, the first model on the list would be the iPhone 3GS which comes with the best rating on most cell phone review websites. But since we spoke about this smart phone recently, I suggest we redirect our attention to the smart phone on the second place: The HTC Droid Incredible.

The HTC Droid Incredible is a phone that measures 117.6 x 58.4 x 11.9 mm in dimensions and 130 grams in weight. It has an AMOLED capacitive touch screen that offers support for 16M colors. The display measures 3.7 inches in diagonal and it comes at a resolution of 480 x 800 pixels.  The display comes with an optical trackball, an accelerometer sensor, a proximity sensor and a multi touch input method. The HTC incredible comes with 8 GB of internal memory but if you think this is not enough, you can always take advantage of the included microSD card slot and extend the memory to a maximum 16 GB. The camera found on this smart phone is an amazing 8 MP one that can take pictures at a maximum resolution of 3264 x 2448 pixels and it features autofocus, LED flash, geo-tagging and smile detection.

The HTC Incredible takes its powqer from a 1 GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon QSD8250 processor and it uses the Android v 2.1 operating system to run. It comes with an FM radio, GPS support and other cool features like a MP3 / eAAC+ / WAV player for music and a MP4 / H.263 / H.264 player for video files. It offers full support for applications like YouTube, G-mail, Google Maps, Google Search, Google Talk and a document viewer, a photo and video editor, an organizer and so forth. Another one of the top smart phones is the Motorola Droid. The Droid is a 115.8 x 60 x 13.7 mm cell phone that weights 165 grams in total and it is available on the market since November 2009.

The processor that can be found on this smart phone is a 600 MHz ARM Cortex A8 600 and the operating system is the Android v2. The rest of the features are pretty much identical as the ones described for the HTC Incredible.

When speaking about the Motorola Razr 2 V9m, a very elegant and beautiful cell phone comes to my mind. Buying this cell phone from Sprint is going to costs you $249 with a contract.
<-300x250 Medium Rectangle - center->
The Motorola Razr 2 is a 4.05 x 2.08 x 0.46 inches cell phone that weighs only 4.1 ounces and you will be attracted to its looks right from the start. The external display is the first thing that you are going to notice as it measures 2 inches in diagonal and it offers support for 65K colors. It shows information like the current date and time plus the signal strength and the battery life. On the bottom edge of this display you are going to notice 3 touch sensitive controls and when you press them, each one offers vibrating feedback.

When you open up the phone, you are going to see another beautiful display. This one measures 2.2 inches in diagonal and it offers a 65K color support. The colors shown on the display are quite vivid even if you can only adjust the backlight time as far as display settings go. You will spot a 4 way toggle key which has the OK button located in the middle. You have a dedicated speakerphone button, aside from the Call and end keys, the Back button and the power button. The keypad of this cell phone shows big keys which are going to be good news even for people with big hands. The Motorola Razr 2 is capable of storing a number of 1000 contacts and foe each phone entry you can save 5 different phone numbers. Aside from storing phone numbers, you can also save e-mail addresses, street addresses, memo plus the job and company title. If you divide the contacts into call groups, you can assign ringtones for every particular group and you can also setup a photo for every called in particular.



You have all the regular office tools like calculator, unit and currency converter, an alarm clock, support for both text and multimedia messages, stopwatch, voice recorder and even a notepad. The 2 MP camera that can be found on this device is capable of taking pictures at a 1200 x 1600 pixels resolution and it comes with lots of features like brightness and quality settings, white balance controls, a multi shot mode, a 4X zoom, six different shutter sounds and even six different frames. For people which are interested in playing a game now and then on their Motorola Razr 2 we have to say that all the loaded games are in demo versions and he full versions are available upon purchasing and online download. As for the battery life, this cell phone will manage to stay on for about 3.6 hours of talk time and about 12 days in standby mode. The conversation time is not that great so you can expect this cell phone to run out of battery when you most need it. Overall, it makes a good choice for a mainstream cell phone.

The Motorola MPx200 is the first Microsoft smartphone handset which has been launched in the US market (without considering the Samsung i600 offered through Verizon). Launched first in the Europe, the Motorola MPx200 runs MS Smartphone 2003 operating system and promises to have a huge success. This Microsoft Smartphone belongs to the Windows Mobile Family but don’t confuse it with the Pocket PC Phone Edition.

<-300x250 Medium Rectangle - center->

The Motorola MPx200 is a smaller device which comes with almost similar features like a Pocket PC but in a smaller and practical case. This handset is excellent for those people who need a non-smartphone equipped with great multimedia playback and helpful features. In the retail package you will receive the phone and some usual accessories including a desktop cradle, stereo headphones, an A/C adapter, a miniUSB cable, a software CD (which has Microsoft ActiveSync 3.6 and Outlook 2000) and some manuals.

The Motorola MPx200 comes with a sleek “clamshell” case made of resistant plastic pleasant covered in a Liquorice Black color. This Microsoft smartphone measures 89 x 48 x 27 mm in dimensions and 118 grams in weight, excellent values for a smartphone like it. With rounded edges and an elegant design, the MPx200 has proven to feel very comfortable in your hand and fits very well in any pocket. On the external front side it hosts a mono-chrome display with a native resolution of 80 x 48 pixels which will offer you information about battery and signal levels, missed calls and other functions.  On the left side of this smartphone you will notice a volume rocker, a Power On/off button and an Infrared port. On the right side a SD/MMC card slot and a headphone jack are placed, both covered by a rubber cover. On the bottom part you will find a data port which allows you to connect a miniUSB cable and charge the phone.



If you open the phone you will reveal a 2.2 inches TFT display (placed on the top part of the clamshell case) and a classic numerical pad. This display has a native resolution of 176 x 220 pixels and supports up to 65K colors. It offers images with a good quality, sharp colors and good contrast. A negative aspect of this cell phone can be that it lacks a camera so you will not be able to take any photos or record clips.  The numerical pad is good. The keys are large and very responsive, offering a great positive feedback when are pressed. With a nice finish, these keys will offer you a comfortable experience during writing your SMS.



For connectivity, the Motorola MPx200 doesn’t come with many features. It lacks the usual Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and GPS features which a smartphone needs to have and comes only with infrared port and miniUSB. For network connectivity, the MPx200 works on GSM 1800 / 1900 MHz networks and offers standard cell phone features. It also comes with support for GPRS even if it lacks support for EDGE and 3G. So, why is it considered a smartphone? Well, the Motorola MPx200 is a smartphone because it runs Microsoft Smartphone 2003 operating system, so it is capable of running multitasks and allows you to install on it many PC applications. The battery life is assured by a Li-Ion 860 mAh battery which manages to keep this cell phone on for 4 hours of conversations and up to 100 hours in standby mode.

The Motorola Q smart phone is a handset which knows how to impress customers. Ever since it has been launched, almost one year ago, this mobile phone impresses the customers with its ultra thin design and high-end features. Because it is the “thinnest QWERTY device”, the Motorola Q smart phone quickly became very popular and appreciated. In the retail package, you will receive this smart phone and some usual accessories like a charger, a USB cable, a holster and a software CD plus manuals.

<-300x250 Medium Rectangle - center->

In terms of design, the Motorola Q smart phone is more a business handset instead of a usual cell phone. Modeled after the Razr V3, the Motorola Q comes with a sleek, solid and practical design. The case is made of resistant plastic and has 4.57 x 2.52 x 0.47 inches in dimensions, being a bit thinner than the Razr. The sleek design and these acceptable values make the Motorola Q to be very comfortable and easily to use.

The front side of this smart phone is occupied by a TFT display and a beautiful QWERTY keyboard. Between the display and the keyboard some navigation keys are placed: two soft buttons, a 5-way button, the Call and End keys plus a Back and a Home button. On the sides of this handset you will notice a scroll-wheel, a secondary Back key, an Infrared port plus a miniUSB port and a microSD card slot. On the top of this smart phone only a 2.5 mm audio jack is placed. Because it lacks a touch screen, the Motorola Q needs to be controlled by these keys. For writing messages and other texts, the QWERTY keyboard included on this smart phone is more than excellent. The keys are large and offer a nice feeling when they are touched. These keys are also very responsive and being well sized you will easily write on them without making any mistakes.



For technology, the Motorola Q smart phone comes equipped with a 2.5 inches TFT display which has a native resolution of 320 x 240 pixels. This display, supporting 65K colors, will offer you good quality images with sharp colors and good contrast even if you use the phone under direct sunlight. The display is also excellent for Web surfing. If you want to take some photos or record some clips with this smart phone, you will have a 1.3 Megapixel camera available.  This camera is capable of taking pictures at a maximum resolution of 1280 x 960 pixels and record VGA clips at a speed of 15 fps. Even if this camera is quite poor for such a powerful smart phone, armed with flash and 6x-zoom, it will offer you satisfactory quality images, enough for you to take your memories every time you want.



In terms of connectivity, the Motorola Q smart phone does a good impression. It comes with Bluetooth, Infrared, miniUSB and GPS plus support for GSM, GPRS, EDGE and 3G. A major negative aspect of this smart phone is that it lacks Wi-Fi feature. Even so, all these connectivity features are capable to satisfy all your needs every time. The battery life of this handset is good. Powered by a Li-Ion 1170 mAh battery, it manages to stay on for almost 7 hours of conversations and up to 480 hours in standby mode. Anyway, we think that all these aspects are excellent for a smart  phone which costs only $199, through Verizon Wireless.
