Motorola i880 - Digital Trends

Motorola-i880-review.jpg

Digital Trends have posted their review of the Motorola i880 multimedia phone. 'Outside, the i880 looks simple enough. On the front flap there are three blue backlit music transport buttons and camera buttons sit between twin speakers and a generously apportioned 1.25-inch color LCD screen. The camera lens with the video light and self-portrait mirror are above the screen. Volume toggle and the walkie-talkie Push-to-Talk (PTT) key are on the left spine (fine for thumb control when holding the phone in your left hand, inconvenient if you hold it in your right). The microSD slot and 2.5mm headphone jack are on the right spine, along with a "quick-flip" button that pops open the top flap. On the top spine next to the stub antenna are the speakerphone button and the music stop button.

Inside, the characters on the matte black keypad keys are cool-blue backlit, but are hard to read in dim conditions after the backlight goes out. The main menu access button is not the "Up" key on the flat navigation/function array, despite its location just below a menu icon on the screen. Instead, the menu access key is counter-intuitively located on the far left. Fortunately, you can correct this annoyance by reprograming each navigation key to access whatever function or application you want. The 2.1-inch (176 x 220 pixel) 262k-color screen is bright and colorful and makes a fine camera viewfinder.'
