Motorola Dext
Like most of the Android devices Motorola Dext comes in a side slider design. At the front panel there is a 3.1 inches TFT capacitive touch screen of 320 x 480 pixels resolution and it seems to be very responsive. Underneath the display there are three buttons. It comes with a QWERTY keyboard explaining the bulky physique of the gadget. Keys are comparatively large and really easy to spot in the first go. In design the handsets is up to the mark but its thickness is the point where it messed up. Its dimension is 114 x 58 x 15.6 mm and 163 grams in weight which makes it harder to slide it in the pockets. The only upside to this is that the phone feels firm and solid.
It runs Android version 1.5 which is quite outdated now so you will see usual drag-down status/notification bar is at the top of the screen and the pull-up main menu at the bottom. It is capable to perform every trick that other Android phones perform however there is tweak on the home screen, which allow for five rather than the usual three home screen panes. The only other thing left to mention is the MotoBlur.
This application memorizes all of your email and social networking accounts, keeps them linked together, and lets you communicate. Not only it allows quick access to social networking site, it also can use to push status updates to one or all of your social networks. It pops-up the first time you start the phone and will prompt you to register. On the whole it is quite useful application for networking.
It contains a typical Android music player which plays almost all of the commonly used music formats and comes with a 3.5 mm jack so you can hook it up with headphones or speakers of your choice. Videos are arranged by thumbnails in the gallery. Another feature it offers is video editing although it may seem pointless but it is great for uploading videos via phone.
Motorola Dext features 5 Mega Pixel camera embedded with 25892×1944 Pixels enabled with Auto focus and geotagging. The picture quality is pretty good. Other features also include 802.11b Wi-Fi, USB mass storage, Google voice search, Google Talk, instant messaging, visual voice mail, stereo Bluetooth, PC syncing, and speaker-independent voice dialing, Digital compass and GPS navigation system. These features make the Dext a good catch for the buyers. This does not mean that the handset has no flaws. Its huge size is surely a downer. But overall it’s a nice effort from Motorola.
