Some features like:
- The dimensions of the phone are 3.89 x 1.77 x 0.73 (99 x 45 x 18.6 mm) delivering the phone a smart and a compact overall look. The phone doesn’t weigh anything more than 95 gm which is a big advantage on the scorecard.

The phone does have some downfalls like the freezing up problems and the poor quality camera but if Motorola works on it and omits them then the phone could be a sure winner.
