Motorola U9 User Reviews

The Motorola U9 is a lightweight and easy to use phone. It has a 2MP built in camera on the back which is of good quailty, also a video recorder. It also has a micro SD card slot in the back for extra memory, (the phones internal memory isn't that big).

There are built in games and it is windows media compatable. It plays MP3, and also has bluetooth. The sound quality is very good, and it has touch sensor music buttons on the front which are good. It also comes with stereo headphones, (Bluetooth ones can be purchased).

You can search the web and check your personal email account (providing you have browser service activated on you phone). There is a problem with the battery life on this phone, it only lasts 1 day even with very little use. Overall the Motorola U9 is a good phone.

Not much memory, if you want to play music memory card essential. Once had phone for a year it started to play up, will only play sounds on ringtones and alarms now. Can't play music or watch videos with any sound. Will only charge when placed upside down and even then must apply pressure on the charger for it to work, good phone but not for long term use.

Has always worked well, but sometimes is not easy to switch off - button is very small. I love the colour purple and it is small and very easy to carry, with a pull down case. Camera good but email quite complicated to use. Messages and contacts ok.

Very durable, the mp3 player is good apart from you have to be careful when you put it in your pocket not to skip/pause the song. The alarm clock feature is good but the phone does tends to switch its self off occasionally and sometimes takes a while for messages to come through.

I chose the U9 primarily on its appearance. A shiny purple flip phone. Appearance is everything to me, and so many times a new 'pink' or 'red' phone hits the market and my inital excitement quickly turns to disappointment. Have you noticed they are always a wishy washy shade?

Motorola do not disappoint, a vibrant shiny purple, exactly as described, just as its predessor, the KRZR K1 was a trendy shade of midnight blue. As I prefer flips to touch screens this model seemed to have to have it all.

The camera is fine, but that suits as I don't use it often, and I've never downloaded music. There is a voice activated feature that reads out your contacts, which I find irritating, especially if scrolling through contacts, although fortunatley this can be de-activated!

All and all, this neat sized phone that does what I expect of it, but more importantly to me it looks great!
