Motorola E550 Review

The Motorola E550 has a soft touch black casing to it and it is generally considered to be very user friendly. When it was first made available by Motorola it was considered to be a mid range handset where price is concerned but it is now available on cheap mobile phone websites for a fraction of the original cost.  It is really just an updated Motorola V300 which has been given a few new features to keep users amused.

It has a very small external screen which only displays the time and a 65k internal screen measuring 176 pixels by 220 pixels which is just about adequate for watching video clips and viewing photographs. The superb onboard camera has a 4x zoom and the video capture is excellent quality.

The Motorola E550 comes with a selection of J2ME™ games built ii, including ‘Wakeborder’, and ‘Photofun Editor’, and others can be downloaded if required. Bluetooth ability makes it possible for a call to be taken on a headset when the user is not close to the phone.

There are a mixture of polyphonic and mp3 ringtones for the Motorola E550 and these can be downloaded from the internet if the user fancies a change of ringtone. The Motomixer remixable ringer lets the user play with the ring tones, mix match, merge, etc and can be a lot of fun to play with.

Text messaging (also called SMS) and multimedia messaging (MMS) which sends sounds, pictures to other compatible mobile phone handsets is very easy and somewhat intuitive to use.
