My girlfriend got this from US Cellular in the absence of any user reviews because the Crush was so new. Living in Chicago, we really, really want Motorola to succeed. Alas, this is right up there with when they started handing out free Razr’s: Motorola is coming to an end. This phone is awful. Between my girlfriend and another friend of hers, both took the phone back AND upon returning them, heard ‘yeah we see a lot of that’ from the tech department (the sales people somehow are oblivious to how bad this phone is). Within a day of getting the phone, despite being locked and sitting in her pursue, it would spontaneously start dialing people. After a call, it would sometimes (not consistently) require numerous strokes to get it to hang up and lock (maybe it just craves affection?). Then, believe it or not, it actually can generate a BSOD (blue screen of death) with http type coding all over it. Maybe we had a bad one, but is it coincidence that her friend at work had all the same problems? We’ve both used motorola’s for years with great luck, until she got stuck with the most recent Razr where they moved the text buttons to coincide with different numbers. Now she’s using LG, which sucks considering I have PhoneTools for motorola. On the other hand, LG does not require any software to interfacet with their phone. In a nutshell, stay away from the Crush.

This phone is getting returned immediately. I constantly hang up on people just because my cheek his the screen. Sometimes I have to hit the application more than 3 times before it opens what I want. Too bad you can’t change how sensitive the screen is.

Bought this phone for my Hubby and I for Christmas…one of the worst gifts I’ve ever given! We are both taking them back tomorrow. Push one button and 4 others light up. Try to make a call and you wind up navagating, texting and finally playing pac-man. What a disaster for a phone… :>(

this phone is awful. It freezes constantly, sometimes for a couple seconds other times permanently. Sometimes it also takes several times of hitting a key before it works. I would not recommend this phone to anyone.

when reading messages in your inbox/outbox, does it show the past conversations message by message, or do you have to view conversations by going back and forth, back and forth in your inbox/outbox? Can you view all your past conversations with a specific contact?

This is a pretty nice afordable touch screen phone. Keep in mind that the screen is moisture sensing so make sure you wipe the screen off when you done making a call also make sure you fingers are dry. the browser is good the keyboard is decent and the call quality is pretty clear. The only complaint i have is the lack of threaded messaging and ability to run the music player in the background.

This is the WORST PHONE I have ever had. The phone hangs up on people, dials on its own, has a horrible blue tooth tx/rx, it drops calls all the time, the speaker squeals and hangs up when you unlock it. DO NOT BUY THIS PHONE!! DONT EVEN TAKE ON IF IT FREE !!!!!
