MotoMing 2

K. Like I said, I just cant stop myself from harping about this phone, and I just love it. It's become a part of my daily life. I'm using it to listen to music on my way to work, manage my cash flow, remind me of my appointment, keep track of due tasks, and sometimes making calls... In fact, barring EDGE/WiFi and GPS, iPhone doesnt have a thing over MotoMing. OK, maybe a slight exaggeration, but heck, I got one of the coolest looking phones around and it isn't just a trophy piece.
Ever since MotoRazr arrived, I have been impressed by the innovative ideas that Moto keeps coming up with. Granted that the Razr has been recycled a tad too many times, but it's the model that turned Moto's fate around, at least in India.
Along with Razr, we got MotoPebl, not an altogether feature packed phone, but still a style statement. We got MotoFone, the indian phone. Only Moto could have made a style statement using just a simple LCD screen. And with a cost so low, you might just buy an extra piece to give to your two year old as a toy.
The Krazr, Slivr, Slidr, Rokr all represent milestones in the company's design ideology.

Well, nobody's perfect. My phone has definitely got a very low battery backup. Lasts only a day and a half (might as well be a day, cos I dont risk running my phone at half charge). The Linux OS seems to forget I installed Java apps and they seem to disappear every now and then, only to reappear after a few hours. Haven't really figured out that one yet.
The 50 item limit in the Real Player Playlist is something I'm not really happy with. It maybebecause of the 8MB system memory, though I am less inclined to lean towards that theory. And the flip is prone to getting scratched very easily. Something to keep in mind at all times. But hey, after shelling out Rs12k, I'm definitely more careful with my Ming as compared to my previous phone (an LG phone, the worst phone makers on the planet, even considering LG Chocolate).
