Motorola's MotoSmart may be cheap, but it struggles against similarly priced competitors.

Excellent build quality, Great call quality, Motorola has made some interesting tweaks to the phone's OS

Terrible camera, Sluggish performance, Poor screen, Short battery life

Here are some shots of the Motosmart: Overall the Motosmart feels a bit out dated. Especially when you can get jems like the Xperia Tipo for about the same price. At the moment you can get it on the following networks: I look forward to what the next...
