This Motorola e310 review is based on a technical analysis of the cell phone's technical specifications, it is not based on an actual hands-on review. It outlines the strong and weak points of the Motorola e310. The strongest points are listed with a (+) sign while the weakest points have a (-) sign before them. This Motorola e310 analysis is generated automatically based on our specifications for that phone and since manufacturers do not always detail technical specifications clearly, some information may be missing.
(+) Weight and Size: The Motorola e310 weighs only 3.5 oz. This is rather lighter than average and should make it comfortable to carry around(-) Camera: It doesn't have a camera, which is certainly not necessary but may be convenient or fun and make your experience better.
(View the latest camera cell phones)(-) Phone Book: It only stores unknown phone book entries, which is sufficient for the casual cell phone user but, if you have many business contact or friends, this may not be enough for you. Look for phones with more contacts.(-) Built-in Speakerphone: It doesn't include a built-in speakerphone, yet, a speakerphone is useful in some situations and it's important to know that various other phones do have a built-in speakerphone.
(View the latest cell phones with a built-in speakerphone)(-) Battery Performance: It has only a maximum rated standby time of 0 hours and a talk time of 0 minutes, and it may be too low for your needs, especially if you travel a lot and plan to use your cell phone often(+) Color Display: The color display's color mode is 4096 and its resolution is 128 x 128. A color display is useful when browsing the wireless web or viewing pictures and, of course, the larger it is, the better the experience and, the more colors, the better your pictures will look.(+) Analog Roaming: It supports analog roaming. Analog is the older North-American cellular technology, however North-American networks are increasingly converting to large digital-only networks, which makes analog a not-so-useful feature (check coverage maps for your area to discriminate on that aspect).(-) Bluetooth: It is not Bluetooth-enabled. Bluetooth is not really necessary but may be handy if you want to use a wireless headset or exchange data with your (Bluetooth-enabled) laptop, for instance.(-) Infrared: It doesn't feature an infrared port. Infrared is convenient, especially if you own a laptop (most laptops are infrared equipped), you can then use your computer to transfer contacts, ringtones or pictures (if the phone supports these functions) to the Motorola e310.(+) Text Messaging: It features a special way of typing text, either a full keyboard or some predictive text entry method such as T9 or iTAP. This is useful if you need to send short messages: it's much faster.(+) Voice Note: It features voice notes . A voice note system is pretty useful to make quick notes and reminders while on the road.(+) Free Custom Ringtones: . It seems to support ringtone customization in a do-it-yourself manner, but we recommend double-checking. To help assess this phone's behavior with ringtones, check out the ringtone compatibility list.
