CONS

  1. Poor Battery Life: Known for having very poor battery life, often requiring charging by the end of a workday.
  2. Mediocre 5MP Camera: Camera quality is considered average for the time, lacks the 720p HD recording or 8MP resolution found on rivals.
  3. Heavy/Bulky Design: It is quite heavy and thick at 173 grams (6.1 oz), making it less portable by modern standards.
  4. MotoBlur Interface: The pre-installed MotoBlur skin can be sluggish and resource-heavy.
  5. No 4G LTE: Released right before 4G became standard, limiting it to 3G data speeds.
  6. Stiff Keyboard Slider: Some users reported the slide mechanism for the keyboard feels stiff or requires significant effort.
  7. No Front-Facing Camera: Lacks a front-facing camera, making video calls impossible.
  8. Muddy Call Audio: Call quality is described as muffled on both the receiving and transmitting sides.
  9. App Performance Lags: Despite the fast processor, the device can experience slowdowns in daily use due to software bloat.
  10. Non-Essential Apps: Ships with a lot of unremovable pre-loaded "bloatware" applications.
