The phone is a relative of the Eitem technology in china, a handset which has been extremely popular.

Many people are talking about this as being the Android phone that can really take some significant market share from the iPhone.

The deisgn in my opinion looks Apple like. That’s not a bad thing and it will make the phone more popular.

The display is amazingly colorful and vibrant which is 3.5 inch 320*480 pixel touch screen competed with iphone.

Milton Keynes to be first place in UK to see the Motorola DEXT™ with MOTOBLUR
The new Orange Multimedia Store in Milton Keynes, which officially opens at 3pm on Tuesday 6 October, 2009, will be the first place in the UK to showcase the much anticipated Motorola DEXT with MOTOBLUR, a day before it's available anywhere else in the UK.

Available only on Orange, the DEXT is the first mobile phone with MOTOBLUR technology- allowing you to synch all your communication, from work email to social messaging activity, directly to your home screen in easy to manage streams.

Orange will have some expert advisors and trainers in store on opening day to demonstrate the phone's multimedia capabilities to customers.

DEXT will be available at the new Orange Multimedia Store in Milton Keynes from October 6th, and nationwide at your local Orange store from October 7th.

It's android...with some closed source widgets and apps but the hardware looks decent.

I can see the android software market is going to become more and more segregated as Operator and manufacturers try to stick in more 'unique' features.

Google will have quite a task on its hand to continually improve the base code without stepping on toes.

I understand the usefullness of the videos. I often view them on products im interested in for the reasons you've stated.
All i'm saying is, as the first tech site I look at, many of the reviews are the first or only one's I'll see of a product, so few product photos and a spec sheet would be helpful so i know if I should bother watching the video in the first place. Either that or a link to previous articles on the product with words and pictures and press release blurb.

I really like the video walk through for the handsets because it gives you an idea of the feel of the device and it's responsivness that you don't get with pictures. Someone could say "it feels sluggish" but that means many things to many people. For me the interface on this phone isn't responsive enough for me. It feels to slow and clunky. I would never know this without seeing the hands on interaction with it. So while maybe for tech specs or something text is good or better, video is priceless when it comes to seeing what the actual consumer experience is going to be for those using the phone.

Totally agree. Its all very forward thinking having videos, but I dont have the time to sit and listen to someone explain it all. Much rather text to scan read, and some pics so i can see basic dimensions and layout of a device.

I may sound a bit old-fashioned but I'd rather have some text to read.
