Customer Reviews

Solid Well Made Phone & The Ringtones Rock!!
I have had my RIZR from T-Mobile for a few weeks now after switching from Verizon. I was originally considering the Nokia 5300. But when I compared the 2 phones side by side, the RIZR seemed more solid, more durable and less flimsy than the Nokia 5300. So I chose the RIZR and I could not be happier. The phone is easy to program and a breeze to use. The display is bright, clear and very easy to read (even without my bifocals!). So far the sound quality and reception have been outstanding. The best feature for me is the mp3 player. With my new RIZR I can transfer mp3 songs directly from my computer to my phone with a simple drag and drop (the 128 MB card is not very large, but enough for my needs). I can then select the songs to act as ringtones. Being able to assign a song/ringtone to a certain phone number is a really cool feature, at least for me.
The mp3 player included with the phone is very easy to use too.
My only "minor" gripe is the screen goes black during calls. But I found pressing the volume up button, which displays the volume screen temporarily, brings the main screen back fast enough for me.
All in all a great phone and highly recommended.

great camera and stylish phone
Pros:
* 2 megapixel camera with decent video and flash
* micro SD card
* solid updates of motorola UI
* good looking
* stereo bluetooth (but $100 for a stereo bluetooth headset)
* uses miniUSB for recharging
* sound quality is adequate

Cons:
* music player has poor UI
* reception is not stellar, but ok for city usage.


I principally bought this because it was on t-mobile, I liked the design and it had a 2 megapixel camera with a LED illuminator (flash). I also do a reasonable amount of texting and picture messaging, so I wanted something good for that. I am happy with this decision.

The camera is quite good, for a pinhole camera phone. However, the maximum size I can send in MMS messages is 640x480. That is likely a t-mobile limitation.

The music player leaves much to be desired. There is enough of it there to call it a music player, but if you've ever used an iPod, you won't love it. There is no way to "keylock" the phone while using it so you end up ending the music play if you drop it in a pocket and bump it. The music player has no concept of what podcasts have been played nor does it remember the last place in the podcast like an iPod does. It is borderline unusable as an mp3 player due to this lousy software.

I had a problem with the phone after about 5 weeks where the predictive text stopped working. It was as if the dictionary had been deleted off my phone or the keys wouldn't work when in predictive text mode. It is under a 1year warranty and t-mobile chose to replace it anyway. An annoyance, but it is ok now.

Good phone
I'm 90% happy with the phone. Batteries live long, standard USB slot for charging (not proprietary cables any more, thank God), slightly improved interface. Love the way it slides, my sliding Samsung did it with less reassuring feel.

10% of unhappiness is due to the fact that it looses signal in places where some of my friends' phones don't. Also, dust gets between a screen and a protective glass.
