Motorola i850 review from United States of America
"The i850 is a great phone, but maybe not the best for a contractor"
What things have gone wrong with the mobile phone?
The battery plug on the bottom end often gets stuck and requires much force to take out.
The back cover and battery can be also difficult to remove.
The black front cover is easily scratched.
General comments?
Phone looks fantastic in grey/black and is fairly compact for a Nextel. Not bad for $170.
The screen looks great.
Exterior caller ID/display is nice; easy to make calls with the case closed.
Buttons are all responsive and within reach. The menus are easy to use.
No problems with the phone crashing, turning off or even dropping calls.
Speakerphone's sound quality seems sub-par compared to an old I95CL.
Camera is acceptable; defaults to average quality, but hi-res mode can be turned on.
The i850 is built well enough for most people, but might be a bit too fragile for contractors.
