I thought the same thing when I saw the pics, but the Moto rep showed me one at my store today and its actually pretty good. It was easy to type and pretty fast moving through menus. I’ve seen that Korean junk that Rogers has and this is alot better in quality, feel, and features.

Its also gonna be 79.99 on a three-year not 129.99

Between the touchscreen phenomenon and qwerty madness it looks likethe lower end handset market is trying to cash in on the “higher end” features. In little more than a year, the full qwerty and touchscreen have become common features just like Bluetooth and MMS

What on earth were they thinking when they left a blank key space on each side of the keyboard when they could have expanded that tiny space button?

Motorola has lacked imagination since the RAZR. This thing looks like an LG or Samsung rip off. Anyhow, Bell is desperate. They are pathetic to deal with and are willing to offer just anything to ‘attempt’ in staying competitive.

Been messing around with one for a while. Honestly the only benefit of having one of these is when its in the ‘closed’ position you can hold it out in front of you and look like a power ranger about to morph. Other than that it really is a paper weight and as craptastic as Richard Ward stated.

That’s a pretty craptastic “dumbphone.” Hooray for Motorola releasing even more waste to the mobile world. As if the Q9C wasn’t enough.

This reminds me of the incredibly ugly VZW Blitz!

I get the need for a full QWERTY but does it have to be ugly as sin?

Look at the XENON or the RUMOR?
