Motorola Gleam

I got my hands on my friend's Motorola Gleam. My first impression was, "SHINY!!!" It is a very pretty handset and literally 'gleams'. With the shell closed, its reflective, but is also a fingerprints magnet. You have to keep wiping it time and again because fingerprints keep showing on the body. There is a dot matrix display concealed under the shiny surface and displays the time, incoming calls, messages and fun animations, which can be customized. It is a dual band phone and does not have EDGE, however has a GPRS class 12, which is pretty usable, however I personally wouldn't use the GPRS on the phone. Open the phone and it has a nice big keypad with soft keys, which have a nice feedback. The keypad has a metallic finish and is like the old MotoRAZR's. The bottom of the phone has disco lights, which come on when you open or close the flap, or if there is an incoming call or text. It adds bling to the phone and makes it a fashion phone. The signal reception is really good and it got some signal in my friend's basement parking where my Blackberry Curve lost all reception on the same GSM network. Call quality is up to the mark and that is what I love about Motorola. The battery runs long and strong and with reasonable usage, lasted over 2 days with the battery not fully charged. Overall I LOVED the phone and I'm definitely buying one soon its back in stock at Flipkart.com

Good: Very Stylish - Good Battery - No Nonsense Bad: None Comment: I Have Purchased This Phone 4 Days Ago & I Must Say This phone is no-nonsense. It has all the features which you actually need... bluetooth, camera, SMS/MMS and of course phones were made to make phone calls not waste time and money on apps. It has a decent quality 2MP camera, and comes with games. The screen is bright and colourful, and lights up when the phone rings. iPhones etc have become boring and standard now, everyone has one these days. This phone is a real looker, it grabs peoples attention and doesn't look like a poser phone. This is a very stylish model, not ugly like the Nokia and Samsung alternatives within the same price bracket. It has some weight to it and doesn't feel as though it was made out of cheap plastic like other phones. It has a nice feel to it and it is very affordable. This is the real no-nonsense business class/personal phone. Highly recommended 5 out of 5.
