Not True, it's quite sturdy, mine's in service since 2007, it has been throw to the wall, it's been step on it, fallen from anywhere, and it just show scuffs & blemishes, but that's all, work's like a true champ.

Pros: it's good for general functions, basically calling and direct connect. The speakerphone is loud and clear (though lately it's gotten worse and has been dropping calls). You get used to the interface after a while.Cons: I have to charge it every night; Motorola is different from any phone I'd used before (I once silenced it and it took me a month to figure out how to unsilence it, I'll admit I wasn't good with phones then) and the camera isn't really that great. Texting is annoying and sometimes the phone won't be able to retrieve a text. The clip it comes with tends to drop the phone if you lean over on the side you've clipped it to.Summary: I live on a farm and I've beaten this phone to what should have been it's death. I dropped it seven feet to a concrete floor, and all it did was flip open and scratch. I accidentally dropped it in my horse's food bucket, he threw it out, and still it works. It has scratches and the silver/grey has rubbed off in places, but I have dropped it numerous times.
I know other people who had the same phone were having problems with it and I may have just gotten lucky. All in all, I wouldn't recommend this phone to anyone who is a heavy phone user; but for those people who just need a phone to keep in touch, it should work fairly well.

Pros: sleek.Cons: Very bad reception. If it is at home, highway, city, etc... My last service was so much better. Be very careful, and never drop this phone. You Will have to replace it! This IS NOT a durable phone! Not worth the price.Summary: The life of the battery is terrible. I had to replace mine on a brand new i850 with 7 months.
The buttons stick.
If you read the comments on here, they were posted months and years ago. Things have gotten a lot worse with this phone. Beware!

Experience: 7 Months
Pros: The color screen is impressive and the keys are easy to use.Cons: The exterior of the phone does not hold up to the wear and tear of use. The silver coating rubes of and reveals the black under coat. The nextel direct connect button tends to stick a lot as well.Summary: The overall phone is average. The camera works well and the keys are easy to use. Problem is the clip tends to rube of the silver coating on the phone and the phone does not save your photos to the sim card.
