Motorola Theory Review
By Rob Webber on December 9th, 2011
Hence the Motorola Theory mobile phone is an interesting one to look at. At first glance it reminds you a little of a Blackberry, with the screen at the top and the QWERTY keyboard underneath it. However the phone is slimmer than the average Blackberry. The phone measures 112mm tall by 60.5mm wide and it is 12.5mm thick. It is easy to hold and the soft feel of the back of the phone minimises the chance of dropping it at any point.
Some phones are clearly going to be preferred by specific types of users over others. For example the Motorola Theory is a perfect choice for someone on a budget who still wants a decent phone that’s worth using. The QWERTY keyboard is a joy to use and the slightly raised keys make it easier to hit the ones you want without hitting the ones either side as well. The screen size is a bit on the small side but still comes in at a reasonable 2.4 inches. Considering the presence of the keyboard and the overall size of the phone this isn’t too bad.
The phone comes with a Myriad browser but although you can surf the internet on it, the small screen might not make you do it that often. Clearly this is a phone that’s designed more for those who want to text or send emails, rather than getting online on a regular basis. It’s handy to have though and it also uses Java and a Java/BREW Proprietary operating system.
Anyone who aspires to have a Blackberry might get this as a cheaper alternative. But of course it doesn’t compare to one of those mobile phones. However for the money you will part with in order to get hold of a Motorola Theory you are definitely getting good value for money. It appeals to users at the cheaper end of the smart phone market for whom messaging is the biggest appeal, and for these people there will be much to appreciate. With plenty of personalisation options and a physical weight of 110 grams, this will sit nicely in many people’s pockets.
