After a year and one month — just past the warranty! — some of the buttons just decided to stop working; one evening the phone was working fine, the next day it wasn't. Nothing can be done about it except to give Motorola another $75 to get it fixed, and like I am really going to do *that* after they failed to get me a phone that lasted for more than a year the first time! Besides which, frankly, as others have written here the phone is slow and a bit clunky, so it isn't even *worth* $75 to me.

100% agree. Missed calls all the time! I keep pressing the answer button, and it just doesn't answer! Absolutely infuriating. That's your main job phone! Just answer the goddamned call. Terrible, terrible software/processor. Otherwise might have been a good phone, but even one missed call is way too much.

worst phone i've ever owned. it lags constantly. you press buttons and it hangs there for 10 – 15 seconds.. i miss calls because it wont answer even though im pressing ANSWER,ANSWER,ANSWER,ANSWER,ANSWER frantically… it ignores my button presses and misses the calls. entering text messages, smae thing.. it will stop entering text even though you are still going .. it just sits there for 10 secs and then suddenly spits out all of the wrong crap it thought you were pressing.. wtf .. this thing SUX ASS . 100% waste of money

This is the worst phone ever!!! its so ridiculously slow. when a phone call is coming in and you hit the answer button, it doesn't register so you're just hitting it again and again and you have a missed call. Then, when you don't want it to register just because it brushes up against something, you get random dialed calls and etc because the stupid touch screen registers things that it shouldn't! Worst rating ever!

Sounds like a cool phone. Are you using a prototype? I’m concerned that production model might be slow.
