So today we’re talking about the Motorola Crush, and admittedly, this is a nice phone, even if the layout is a little confusing.
The Motorola Crush is a slider-style cell phone with a battery capable of two hundred sixty minutes of talk time, Bluetooth connectivity, a standard size headset jack, MP3 Player, a two megapixel camera, sixteen gigs of removable memory, a phone book capable of storing a thousand name and number records, and a touch screen.
I definitely like that touch screen, and there are plenty of nice features on this phone, but I did have a problem at first figuring out where everything was. Now, this didn’t exactly take long to correct, but until I got used to everything, it was a bit confusing.
Aside from that, though–once you have this thing finally figured out, you should be very happy with it.
The Good
Lots of great features
Nice touch screen
Compact and easy to handle
The Bad
Slight learning curve in the beginning
Score 7 / 10
