A Motorola Dext review reveals that the company have combined android technology with a QWERTY keyboard, touchscreen and a variety of downloadable additions. The second android on the market after T-Mobiles G1, the Dext is a definite improvement on the technology and probably the best phone from the Motorola workshop for quite a while.
The Motoblur operating system is a bonus, as it fully integrates and personalises all your applications and enables you to network socially with all your friends while on the move. It displays all your Tweets, Facebook updates and MySpace details automatically. The Motoblur system also enables you to track a lost phone on GPS and if need be wipe the phone remotely, ensuring data does not fall into unwanted hands.
For those who prefer the safety of a real keyboard the Dext is a definite solution. It’s a little small but that’s to be expected, the backlighting could be brighter and some of the icons are much too small. Its camera doesn’t have a flash facility and the battery life is not exceptional, plus it is quite heavy to carry around with you.
The Motorola Dext comes with the expected services, camera, video and multimedia and a standard 3.5mm jack point. Its specifications are fairly standard and there is nothing really outstanding here.
A good phone for the social networkers out there, with excellent features available in that department. Its physical keyboard is also a sound feature but it is let down by its looks and the audio quality is a little tinny. The touchscreen is very responsive and there is a good range of downloadable Android applications.
