Android–based touchscreen slider hits the market – Motorola DEXT
Motorola phones have always had a special place in our hearts due to their awesome looks and awesome functionality and, in that sense, the Motorola DEXT lives up to our expectation. A touch screen slider with a full QWERTY keyboard, the Motorola DEXT comes pre-installed with Google Android 1.5 OS (Cupcake edition), which is a good enough reason to persuade you to purchase it. Combine that with Motorola’s very own user interface, the MOTOBLUR UI and you get one of the best combos in the market. The MOTOBLUR UI enables you to get easy access to functions and apps in the phone by way of widgets on the homescreen. You can assign a variety of features, from messages and RSS feeds to email and photos. You can also enable one-touch access to a variety of social networks such as MySpace and Facebook. There is also a really neat facility in the DEXT whereby you can have one single inbox for all your social network messaging needs, thereby avoiding the need to check each of your social network profiles for any unread messages.
The phone comes armed with a 5 megapixel camera which is efficient and able to shoot good pictures, largely due to the auto – focus feature. Geo – tagging of pictures is also possible. The phone’s screen is quite crisp at 3.1 inches and a resolution of 320×480 pixels.
The phone’s music player supports most of the popular music formats, including MP3 and AAC. The phone is about 15.6 mm slim and weighs 163 grams, which we feel is way too heavy! You might not want to try on tight jeans if you are going to buy this phone!
The Motorola DEXT Reviews have been nothing but full of praise, so be sure to get it when it is released in October. The phone will be on Orange UK on Motorola DEXT contracts in October, so keep your eyes peeled.
