The product arrived in a sealed box which I was unable to get to for a couple of weeks, three to be exact post acceptance of delivery. Upon attempting to charge and power up, discovered it was dead on arrival.
Now I must return and somehow get this resolved.
Rating: - A little setup required
Purchased the phone for my wife. Charged it up, popped the SIM card in, and away she went, no problems with voice! However, because it is an unlocked phone not tied to any provider, you will need to setup the phone for internet access (for downloads of ringtones, games, basic internet stuff). Depending upon your wireless service provider, you may also need to update the firmware from Motorola's website. I am with AT&T/Cingular and had to manually input the WWW settings to get it to work (available online at various sites other that AT&T/Cingular), and call customer support to update the IMEI on the account. Customer support and my local AT&T store were really no help setting up internet - do a google search for unlocked phone Cingular media.net settings and you will get several pages to help you set it up. The interesting bit that we found with this unlocked phone is that it is an exportable phone, meaning the voice commands are in British English, not American English, so many of the phonetics are different. However, for my wife, this works to her advantage as she is British, so we found the perfect phone for her. She is very happy with this phone.

I ordered this phone thinking it was the real deal but then to find out it's an european phone and can not receive downloads or pictures. What is the sense of having a camera phone you cannot share pictures, download ringtones or games of your choice.I suggest if you want this phone with all the features you get it directly from the manufacturer or a cell phone store. This was a gift for my husband and was emabarresed when I found out all of this by taking it to a Cingular store, yes I paid cheaper but was not given the full description of what I was getting.
Rating: - Better than expected
This particular unlocked version seems thinner than the ones being sold by cell phone carriers. My initial impression was this phone was very tiny. It is smaller than the RAZR V3 in overall dimensions. I use this unlocked phone with Cingular in the Los Angeles area.
The good:
1)Small and cool looking. Most people who have seen it seems to be enamored with its design and form factor. It is definitely an eye catcher.
2)Call quality is great. The volume can be turned on VERY loud. So if you are hard of hearing or just like to hear loud voices over the phone, then this phone will probably fit the bill.
3)Speaker phone. Motorola managed to incorporate a great pair of speaker phones. It is loud and clear enough to have a conference call in a small room full of people.
4)Comes with more than basic ring tones. It comes with several (around 12) musical ring tones. Better yet, the ring tones comes out in a full stereo mode (or at least sounds like it).
5)Camera is good (2MP). Although it will not replace your digicam, it will be more than adequate for emergency uses.
6)Battery life. My informal test on this is that it can handle upto 4-5 hours of talk time.
The Bad (mostly due to it is unlocked):
1)You need to configure EVERYTHING on the phone. Nothing comes preconfigured. This includes the default language, time, date, voicemail, email, IM etc. This can get rather tedious since Cingular does not support unlocked phones.
2)You may lose some functionalities. For example, I have noticed my web browser functionalities do not work with my cingular SIM card. This is no biggie for me since I never browse the web using my phone
