Motorola Citrus WX445 Android Deal

A. R. Shirah (foxworth, ms) : You can call on it, send and receive emails, take photos, surf the web, download apps. Yes, it works. But compared to my two and a half year old Droid, the screen is tiny, the keyboard fit for only very small hands pecking very carefully, the browser is slow to load, everything is cramped and difficult to read, the sound quality when playing back mp3s or videos is poor (including when listening with headphones), and the operating system is antiquated. It's a little like comparing an Atari videogame from the 1980s to the current state of the art, or using a computer running an ancient operating system.

Gayl (Syracuse NY) : I broke my Droid (the original one) and since the phone I wanted to replace it with wasn't going to be available for a month and I needed an interim phone, I purchased this one, as the least expensive smartphone Verizon had available. Wow, I had no idea anyone made smartphones this poorly.I understand that not everyone needs, or can afford, a top of the line smartphone. However, the additional cost of a phone that's substantially easier to use--larger screen, faster, more up to date software--really isn't that much. So I recommend anyone shopping for a smartphone, even someone who wants something basic, to spend just a little more. It'll be well worth it.

Keng (Northern Chicago Suburbs): Blue-tooth... music streaming works flawlessly in my car but the sound quality varies. I am not sure if it is because of the quality of the music file or issues with the bluetooth hardware in the phone; but it does come in at cd quality for the most part. Voice quality is decent based on what people on the receiving end tell me, but when calls come in, they are frequently interrupted with static and garbled popping noise (it's not my speakers).
