Motorola i830 review from United States of America
"It's great for a month, then okay for a few months, then you would probably rather see it blown up"
What things have gone wrong with the mobile phone?
The bronze finish that was most appealing to me at the time of purchase is so easily scratched that even light everyday use makes it start to look unatrractive after a few months.
Sometimes when you open or close it, it doesn't register and you have to flip it a few times to even get the screen to show up.
Also, the okay button touches the screen when closed and makes a circular scratch on the screen around the menu icon... very annoying.
The phone gets average signal, but there are times when it refuses to give you signal at all, and you have to reboot the phone.
General comments?
I love the how easy to use the wireless web is, but there are other functions that are complicated. I am less than six months past the beginning of my two year contract, and I already want out.
