Sun, 16 Aug 2009 22:17:25 +0000 http://mobilesyrup.com/?p=9183#comment-24648 After deciding to upgrade phones / renew contract a week ago, I landed on an LG UX300 model ($0.01). While a nice phone, I found the LG UX300's: 1. form factor (flips in 1/2 to cover the keypad) to be too small; barely taller than the Hint, narrower than the hint and not much thicker than the Hint. 2. screen real estate is very small ... smaller than the Hint. (less than practical if phone based internet browser is to be used remotely productively) 3. disappointed in the 1.3Megapixel camera; Hint has 2MP camera and video capabilities. 4. LG UX300 battery life was pathetic. 3 days ago I went in to see about the battery life (they gave me a 'new' new battery to see if that would help. While in the store, out of curiosity, I researched the other phones I could swap to a bit more; the Hint quickly caught my eye. My carrier (US Cellular) has this 30-day phone swap feature when you renew. Try out any model for 30-days and if you don't like it, you can go back to the phone you had or either completely change to any other brand new (not refurbished) brand/model they offer. But I didn't swap that night so I could research the Hint a bit more online and not use my one-swap chance on a phone with bad reviews. So, thanks for the video review you did (i.e. YouTube clip embedded in this post). Of the reviews from five different people on YouTube before watching yours, I found yours to be the most informative and helpful by far. Two questions for you: ====================== 1. What can be said about the Motorola Hint's battery life if you're a moderate user of the music player, record/playback pictures/video, moderate text/email/messaging apps, etc.? (as I know it's got alot of screen space to light up, etc.) 2. Two video reviews other than yours either showed somewhat long times for the phone to serve up the next screen in the menus ... or ... lag times in typing on the keypad before seeing what you're typing show up on the screen. What's your opinion on experiencing this during your use/testing? Thanks!! After deciding to upgrade phones / renew contract a week ago, I landed on an LG UX300 model ($0.01).

I can only see this keyboard being useful once you have built up layers of callouses. Didn't you find that keyboard to be horrible???
