Anybody look at the manual for this thing? There is no menu to access settings :-)

Just number codes. Sweet.
So, let me get this straight...

The gripes are:
Slow to respond - What phones have you used recently? Every phone over the past year with the motoOS has been snappy (w/ excpetion of rokr w/ itunes playin)

Menus are awful - Ever hear of shortcuts on the moto OS? Nearly every operation can be shortcutted to a Menu Key + Number press
I do acknowledge some of the menu organization isn't great, but it's no worse than other phones. Just something you have to get used to.

fonts and icons look bad - Recent phones are better, but this is pretty minor...


Overall, those are some pretty lame reasons not to buy a phone. I'd have to agree if you said third party software support (moto OS really only supports midlets) compared to symbian.

Any other specifics people? Let the moto hate flow, but not in vague generalities.
People bitch and bitch and bitch about the moto software like it's the cool thing to do. Other than the crappy phonebook (Which has been fixed in Canary), what the hell are people's specific gripes? Other than it sucks or blows or ?
Hey, you guys should give away some motorola pebls too... My girlfriend's been bugging the crap out me to get her one.

Thanks!
Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"I'm looking for a solid state drive, around 32 to 64GB, for use in my web server. The drive will contain my web sites and the operating system, either Windows Server 2008 R2 or Ubuntu. Large storage is handled by a separate RAID array, so capacity is not an issue. Rather, I am looking for the fastest, longest-lasting, and most reliable drive under $150 that is suitable to my application. Any thoughts? Thanks!"
