This phone though neat has an microphone problem. Ever so often the microphone in the earpiece stops working, and one only hear if the speaker function is enabled.

After reading a lot of these comments about phones breaking ect. I was wondering if I am better off going for a Samgem MYC4-2? I am only a 16 and am looking to upgrade from a old useless nokia 3315. I don't need anything facy just a cute camera filp phone. Any ideas what I should do?

glad to see a few enthusiasts for the phone...you won't be disappointed!
Let me clear up some things for people wanting to buy the phone: it HAS voice dial (max. 5 people, actually). it DOES NOT have voice memo or voice command.
HOWEVER, if you are desperate to get something recorded on your phone there IS a way: using the mms feature WITHOUT sending the message. here's how it works:
Go to MESSAGES => NEW MESSAGE => NEW MULTIMEDIA MESSAGE. Press INSERT, go to VOICE RECORD. Record what you want, remembering to press AND HOLD DOWN the voice button (the one on the right side). When done, release voice button, and press DONE. Tick any person on your phone list: you won't be sending it anyway. Check at least one, then press DONE. When you get to the screen with the lines to fill in (msg;subject;attachments etc), DO NOT press the center or right SEND button. Press the MENU button (the funny moto one), and select SAVE AS DRAFT. Now your record is saved.
I know it's tedious and quite trivial, but if you're desperate, then it works. ONE CATCH: you can only record 20 seconds per message. if it's longer you'll need to continue it on another new message :-)
PS If anyone knows a faster way can they please tell me on this site? ;-)

u can have about 30-50 photos at a time at vga resolution. and you can have quite a few mp3 ringtones too, provided they're not cd tracks that go for ages...they won't fit :-)

for those guys living in australia (sydney, specifically):
the reception works really really great, i've tried calls and the person on the other side gets everything i say, no probs. i'm surprised people say it has poor reception, but that would depend on service provider and location i guess.

this is a review from a teenager, first-time budget mobile buyer who's had the phone for a week:
Style: 10/10
Absolutely love it! Nice silver coating and bluish-black front screen panel. Keypad is standard, with scroll keys and voice key on the sides. Camera is smack bang in the middle: looks quite good, though that's an individual opinion.
Features: 10/10
Hey, it's AUS$199! That's a good price for a phone with camera, mp3 ringtones, organizer, etc. and the animated menu looks very nice.
Screen/Camera quality: 9/10
The screen may look small, but when you're using it you'll notice it's not that bad. i had doubts before purchasing it, but i'm fine now. unless you're a big multimedia person, it's enough. The VGA camera is decent, and the pictures look good on the computer and on the phone. Just note that digital zoom takes exactly the same size picture, but the area you've selected gets expanded, thus the resolution lower, and not as good quality. I don't know whether that's the same for every phone, but i'm sure digital zoom's like that. BOTTOM LINE: just don't zoom, pictures look great without it.
User-friendly: 9.5/10
Some find motorola phone menus confusing, some find 'em a sinch. The truth is, everything's completely accessible, just READ THE MANUAL, that's what it was for! Things like games are easy to find, while smaller features need more attention. Keypad shortcuts are changeable, soft keys are too, which is excellent!
Memory: 9/10
I'll admit its memory is no big thing...but 1.8MB is quite substantial, considering photos and music can be transferred to and from computer whenever needed. Pictures on VGA resolution are about 40-60kb, so that's still a lot of pictures at a time.
Battery Life: 9/10
I've been using this phone so much i can't be sure, but the hours i've used it seem to match its description (about 5-6). Charging from zero to full is about 3.5 hours.
OVERALL: 9.5/10
A complete phone, highly successful, recommended for a budget user who wants an extraordinary experience out of their phone. Congrats Motorola!
PS I'm interested to know what others think about this phone, especially the ones with more money, therefore more choice. any comments would be highly appreciated.

Can you save the recorded voice message without sending it first? If so, how?
Thank you.

To all those dopes who couldn't find the voice key:
Well, to be honest, it took me a while to find it too. It's on the right hand side (the side button with the circle thing and sound rays...see it?)
And make sure you press AND release it before speaking a voice tag.
