This Motorola i30sx 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 i30sx. The strongest points are listed with a (+) sign while the weakest points have a (-) sign before them. This Motorola i30sx analysis is generated automatically based on our specifications for that phone and because manufacturers do not always detail technical specifications clearly, some information may be missing.
(-) Camera: It doesn't feature a camera, which is not a necessary feature but may be convenient or fun and enhance your cellular experience.
(View the latest camera cell phones)(+) Phone Book: It can store 250 phone book entries(+) Built-in Speakerphone: It features a built-in speakerphone, which will prove useful in a car or in other situations where you need to use your hands while talking.(-) Battery Performance: It has only a maximum rated standby time of 75 hours and a talk time of 165 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 Motorola i30sx doesn't have a color display but if the phone doesn't have a camera, color is not a necessary feature, except that it can help browsing the wireless web or playing games.(-) Analog Roaming: It doesn't support 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).(+) Push-to-Talk (PTT): . The Motorola i30sx supports Push-to-talk (PTT), a technology that allows you to instantly talk to other people owning a PTT phone on the same network, just by the push of a button, as with a walkie-talkie. This may be interesting to shop with your lover or work on a special project, etc.(-) 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 i30sx.(+) 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 will be useful if you need to send short messages: it's much faster.(-) Voice Note: It doesn't have a voice note recorder. A voice note system is pretty useful to make quick notes and reminders while on the road.(-) Free Custom Ringtones: . I don't have enough information on the Motorola i30sx to know if it accepts custom ringtones in a free do-it-yourself manner, which means that you may not be able to add free ringtones, you may be obliged to deal with your carrier's paid ringtone service. If that is an important issue for you, many other phones allow you to do it yourself and for free, which makes a difference if you're planning on personalizing your phone. To help assess this phone's behavior with ringtones, check out the ringtone compatibility list.
