As smartphone prices decline, they have become more popular every day. Symbian, PalmOS, Windows Mobile and Linux seem to be the big names in this high-end market of phones, all showcasing PDA-like features, native toolkits and fast processors. Today we are looking at one of the most popular Linux smartphones (especially in Asia), the Motorola E680i, which was released around May 2005 and was graciously provided by Geeks.com for this article.

>I just felt you should be a little more detailed in why
>the phone is *good* if you felt it deserved a 7/10 rating.
Because ALL the rest of the applications and hardware included WORK as expected. The only problems I found on the phone are the ones I mentioned. But that doesn't mean that Java crashes, or the email app crashes, or the email app fails to get my email, or that Real doesn't play my .rm files, or that GPRS disconnects out of the blue, or that the phone eats my SD filesystem or that Bluetooth doesn't want to pair with my PC. NONE of that happens!
There are about 1000 things in this phone that one could mention (but it's impossible to). 975 of them WORK. And so the 7/10 is a fair rating, given the fact that some of the problems are eye-popping and makes you wonder why Motorola didn't fix them. But that doesn't mean that the phone sucks and it's unusable, 'cause it doesn't.
And speaking of fair ratings, you said that you found my review to be a 'good job', you just disagreed with my final rating. If I am so bad on ratings, I guess your 1/10 that you rated my story is even worse then.
