Review: Motorola i880
The Good: This is a well featured phone incorporating a 2 mega pixel camera with flash and portrait mirror, music player, two sets of speakers and an integrated GPS. Navigation controls are cramped but easy to use; and both the external and internal displays are clear and crisp.
The Bad: Neither the camera nor music player is anything exceptional. Pictures are blurred and grainy, with a noticeable lag time when changing between camera settings. Music sounds tinny, with distortion apparent at higher volumes.
The Bottom Line: This is a well rounded phone, which, whilst not likely to win any awards, nevertheless has a number of useful features for both the business and leisure user. The dedicated button to send calls to voicemail and stereo speakers are a nice touch. However, the mediocre camera and music player is a bit of a let down. All in all, this is a good buy for the average user; however there are models on the market with a bit more style and panache.
