Motorola Dext Mobile Phone Review

[anupamrit]

Yes I do have this phone ... I got it from T mobile service in USA... cool phone..very easy to use.. I recommend it.. thanx

[andreacpintol]

Should I get this phone or the Samsung Galaxy 551? Any other Android mobiles with horizontal slider keyboard you can recommend? Thanks.

[goldboy987]

how do you configure the screen?



[SkyTubeHD]

How much is this phone ?

[3338110]

ive has my dext for about 6months, and half the keys on the keypad wont work properly & it can be slow at time...

[protestthehero200]

it says this is a review not an unboxing -.-

[ColdCards]

is this suitable for a teen?

[davomrmac]

@ColdCards Yes, very.

[ColdCards]

@davomrmac but between the dext and htc desire z, which one is better?

but a desire z might be too fancy for a teen right?

[davomrmac]

@ColdCards Depends on your budget. The Desire Z is a much better handset.

[manchesterxtream]

should i get this phone or the motorola backflip

[davomrmac]

@manchesterxtream The backflip :)

[davomrmac]

@canadianguy0987 Congrats.

[ChuckyCheeseNuke]

[hellofello2]

Duude awesome review !!! i'ma suscribe but a few questions

[davomrmac]

@hellofello2 Yes to all questions.

[hellofello2]

@davomrmac thank u so much !!! i'm suscribing mate good job =)

[randomjuani]

the camara on this, is very good!

[vphghgulv]

omg i think this is the only phone i have ever seen that has both a capacitive touch screen anda qwerty keyboard!

[iPadgurl]

On ebay, both for $99. iphone 3gs or motorola dext? I like the look of the dext but iphone is really cool, i have an ipad. I bet everyone will tell me to go for the iphone lol

[dandajz]

what do u think is better,DEXT of x10 mini pro??

[davomrmac]

@dandajz My money would go on the DEXT. Anyone else have an opinion to share with dandajz?

[ScottsiPodtouchhelp]

@dandajz go with the Dext it has a bigger screen and the same camera as the Mini Pro

[SarkPlaystationFan]

tjis phone is also very cheap with a plan

[fairymagic678]

is it a resistive or capactive touchscreen???

[icedood3000]

u can get that for £20 A month

[FlightSimulation2010]

@icedood3000 you can get it for £15 a month

[iCollectHockeyCardz]

Motorola Dext or Motorola Back flip

Help?

[davomrmac]

@iCollectHockeyCardz I personally like the look of the BackFlip.

[guitarrugbyskate]

@iCollectHockeyCardz backflip all the way

[superBrentb]

@birdruber ok if you have t mobile, look @ the samsung gravity touch, thats the 1 im getting for my b day @ the end of the month, its a really nice phone, in my opinion you might like it b/c it has a keyboard and its touch screen!

[harshreality86]

between this phone, the motorola milestone and the htc dream, which phone has a better qwerty slide out keyboard?

[davomrmac]

@harshreality86 In my opinion the Milestone.

[larabeckybaiely]

I just got this phone and it's the best phone ever!!

[davomrmac]

@larabeckybaiely Thanks for your comment.

[GunFlameZ]

I have to choose between this and the LG Breeze, which one should I get and why?

[gaga2bechillin]

should i get this phone or the lg banter??

[davomrmac]

@gaga2bechillin This one gets my vote between the two.

[rolls283]

@gaga2bechillin i've had 3 LG phones, 1 motorola, and 1 samsung. In my opinion, LG is terrible!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The phone is cheaply made, and it freezes often, has limited capabilities, and overall SUCKS!

Get the Motorola

[electronreview]

what would you recommend for some one who texts a lot surfs the web and uses facebook a lot this or the hero

[davomrmac]

@electronreview Depends if you are used to a physical keyboard or touch screen. I can text faster on a Hero myself.

[electronreview]

@davomrmac iver used a qwerty alot but i really like sense

[MissHannahDare]

Also, with your contacts list can you just select the contacts you want or does it automatically import all of your gmail, facebook contacts etc?

[davomrmac]

@MissHannahDare It imports all, but you can organise them on your Google account nicely to make things easier.

[MissHannahDare]

Sorry if this is obvious but does the dext have access to all of the applications from 'market place'?

[davomrmac]

@MissHannahDare Yes it does.

[VanillaTwilight07]

is handset the British word for phone?

[davomrmac]

@VanillaTwilight07 It is one way of saying it.

[1234helen4321]

im not sure beween the genio slide or this one which should i choose?

[davomrmac]

@1234helen4321 I would go for this one if it were my money.

[mcconvillee]

@1234helen4321 This one looks to be far superior. The Genio Slide looks more like a a phone for beginners.

[davomrmac]

@mcconvillee Very true.

[zack2k10]

i heard that there's a new update coming out for the software

i am thinking of getting this phone but i don't no because the update is coming out in June. can you still get the update if you buy the phone be for it comes out

[rpmuldowney]

Is this English or Austrailian??

[mondozh8sluque]

Nokia 5230 or Dext?!

[davomrmac]

@mondozh8sluque Out of those two I would go for the Dext.

[rpmuldowney]

If you don't use facebook can you switch it off??

[jasherj]

Hi Dave What's best for you! Motorola Dext or HTC tatto? tnx

[davomrmac]

Hmmmm, Tattoo for me out of those two. Dext is nice tough, QWERTY is useful sometimes.

[hixonc]

Hows the camera? My Lg Dare has 3.2 mega pixels.

[jchicken19]

5 megapixels

[andysubba01]

I Thought Moto Droid was 1st Android for moto!!!

[skelldude]

nope thats the second

[dani9dinamite5xrider]
