Customer Reviews
This is not my first smartphone, so I've seen how things can go well and not go well. This phone is amazing for social networking users, probably the best I've seen so far. The integration with Facebook, Twitter, and others is noteworthy and will serve you well. The only hitch comes in that it does import all your facebook and twitter contacts into the contact list. Which would be fine, except that not everyone lists their phone number on facebook (for obvious privacy reasons), so sometimes you have a contact list full of profiles with just email addresses. Something to watch for, but not gamebreaking.
It's highly customizable, courtesy of the Android 2.1 OS it runs out of the box, and as this is my first Android phone, I'm quite pleased with the OS-- I plan to stick with it for future phones. If you are an android power user (or at least enough of one that you care to root the device), be aware that rooting this thing is a chore, and there is no single easy tool to do it; you'll have to go command-line. Even then, the rooting did not work properly. AT;T also locked the Bravo from allowing sideloading, and even after I rooted the phone, it still did not let me install the Amazon App Store. Fortunately for those of us with this phone, Motorola was kind enough to put an app on the Android Market just for us Bravo users to allow sideloading (Search "Motorola Sideload Enabler" and find the one for Bravo).
I will warn you, also, that the thing comes with a goodly amount of AT;T Bloatware. For those of us who root our phones, it's no chore to remove, but I will advise those who do so to make sure your phone has the latest updates, because once you remove them, it becomes impossible to update.
However, overall, for the average user, this is an amazing phone that is reactive and integrated. I highly recommend the device for those new to smartphones, and give a good thumbs up for power users looking for a less-expensive android to tinker with.
this a a great midrange android device just under $200. it does just about everything any of the other newer android devices do it comes with adobe flash player and was shipped with a newer android os, which was a plus.
