Anonymous, 01 Jan 1970No i'm afraid i've overlooked the other 98 pages of posts.
The point I was trying to make is that i'm just a 'normal average user' who wants my phone to work. I don't feel I should have to scour the net for 3rd party bobbies to make the phone work to a normal standard.
I don't expect it to make my breakfast, I just want it to answer calls and send texts, but it cant do either of these very well. One thing I also dont get is why does it change certain words when you add a question mark or exclamation in predictive. Another sooo frustrating thing about this phone.
Anyway, rant over, the LG beast will be in hand today. I just feel that people need to know first hand what its like to own one of these phones as many of the reviews on here are from people who have either a) only seen this phone or used it once OR b)clever guys like you who have made the slow software a little bit faster.
Do bear in mind that average joe probably doesnt even know what firmware means.

It has On-Demand Paging which controls the Power useage of apps, CPU clockspeed, power consumption and speed of the device in general to insure a good user experience its a shame MOTO havent put it on their phones.

While most of the users can live happily with factory settings, its only some power users who needs that extra tweaking. We hope you've gone thru older posts, coz we dont feel like explaining the same things to every other noob :P

Why should you have to install 3rd party programming to make your phone work properly. It should work as soon as it comes out of the factory, not after you have searched the web for some knocked up code to replace the orignal UI with! I love the look of this phone, but everything just falls below standards. It's 2008 not 1999. Come Moto, up to speed please.

I must say to the person who made a comment about this handset and its multi-tasking. This phone CANNOT vibrate and ring at the same time. I thini this is a crucial feature of any phone. If you set it to vibrate then ring it takes about 3 seconds to answer the call after you press accept. I know this doesnt sound like a long time but when your phone rings and the caller hears 3 seconds of silence they normally just hang up. Any phone should be able to answer straight away and vibrate and ring at the same time.
The vibe and ring features is one i've missed. I hate having to switch it to vibe when i'm out of the house and may not hear it, and ring when i'm in the house and the phone is on the side somewhere. It's a pain in the bloody arse.

In short, the developers simplified the coding of the skin (Onyx) and reduced its filesize for the phone to be faster. Previous versions of the Onyx have intricate codes which made the E8 initially slower than normal.

By the way i see the E8 cant multitask... moreWell, do all people want or know that their phones can multitask? No. Multitasking may open more applications at the same time, but it would slow the phone down no matter how powerful the processor it has.
Why keep picking on the E8? Why not other ones that can have comparable features? Try the Z10, ZN5, Q9, etc. The E8 is only a music phone. Your N81 can easily bully us because of all those snazzy and unwanted features.

Lol @ Geeky phones.
By the way i see the E8 cant multitask (run multiple 3rd party apps at once) whats up with that?
For a device with 500MHz it SHOULD be able to multitask and run highquality videos but instead its waisting all that power, great example of bad software implementation, sorry JJ but i'd be mad if i knew my device was not running at its full potential due to poor implementation by its manufacturer.
Maniac
Good luck with that, if i want something stylish to make me look serious in my suit i'd get a NOKIA E71 which is made out of metal allroun, a HTC TouchDiamond or a BlackBerry Bold, all 3 are well priced, all 3 are stylish, serious, business orientated, run powerful OSs, can multitask, and are for power users at the same time, NONE of those 3 are "geeky" sorry but both E8 and N81 are CLEARLY for the young 16-24 and by pulling out a MOTO you will simply be showing that you're life hasn't exactly turned out the way you were hopping it would, and now you're forced to get a MOTO, as well as being stuck in the past.

We care about the consumer experience; we should not be daunted by all those reviews and ratings which can possibly hinder other consumer's decisions in making the right choice.
Motomodding.us is very proficient and friendly in helping their Motorola users modify their software. The current best ones for the E8 are Bestwebs' software and martin_cz's firmware.

@anonymus last poster: before you go get yourself an LG (if you want to change your Motorola, change it for another good phone brand: Nokia, not LG :P just kidding ), try the following:
Use google and search "motomodding.us". Click on the first link the search engine returns (it should be something like "mmus.us") and you'll get to a forum where people will help you gladly with your E8 problems :) you can find there better and faster Software for your phone.
