Krude1:
I work for Orange so we got a demonstration one in our store so a play around with it everyday at work.
I wouldn't usually recommend a motorola to my worst enemy but the build quality feels good and the fact that it runs android very smoothly is great! I mean it's no iphone but for those that want a physical keyboard with great smart phone functions this is the way to go. though it runs android 1.5, it got released before 1.6 came out.
If you pop into any Orange shop they should all have a demonstration motorola dext that you can play with, though shop around because the website is often cheaper than the retail stores. hope that's some help
Neither would i! I don't think I've even looked at a motorola phone twice not even a first glance, they are that crap.
But the new Motorola Droid (and this DEXT) changes things, because the build quality was so bad. The droid however is a really good alternative - and will be giving it serious consideration.
