Pros & Cons

  • solidly built, excellent sound system, service integration, feature laden, macho design
  • no full screen viewfinder

The Motorola E1000 is an elementary multimedia phone that satisfies the needs of basic users. This is the traditional ‘candy bar’ phone with an appealing interface. The phone has a large screen measuring 34/44mm in dimension with 240 / 320 pixel resolutions. This makes it easy to read the screen. Like other 3G phones, this too has a dual VGA camera.

The Motorola E1000 is an elementary multimedia phone that satisfies the needs of basic users. This is the traditional ‘candy bar’ phone with an appealing interface. The phone has a large screen measuring 34/44mm in dimension with 240 / 320 pixel resolutions. This makes it easy to read the screen. Like other 3G phones, this too has a dual VGA camera. The rear camera is 1.2 mega pixel with a resolution of 1,280/960 pixels and the front one is used for video calling. The Motorola E1000 is compact in size and comes in a finish of grey, black and silver. It weighs a pleasant 140g It has a five way joystick and the keypad is quite user friendly. It features a TFT screen (34/44 mm) with a resolution of 240/320 pixels and can showcase up to 26,000 colours. It has an awesome video playback and great multimedia features. This triple band phone is WAP enabled and uses Motorola’s own Synergy Operating System. It has a Transflash memory card option up to 256 MB.

The phone could have done a lot better with Infrared. Further, the quality of pictures is not too good either. Also, large multimedia or photo files cannot be viewed in this phone. Another disadvantage that users might face is the small size of the screen. However, it comes with an option of switching the view to landscape which enables a person to comfortably watch videos. However, the phone is an ideal choice for those on the lookout for a candy bar style handset. It will satisfy a user’s basic needs and will give them great functionality. It is a low cost 3G handset phone which is a blend of good design and great features. This is the prime reason why it is more popular amongst youngsters especially women.

    Jin takes the Motorola E1000 out on the town, and while he is dazzled by the beautiful screen and smooth lines, navigational problems and a poor camera ultimately have him looking elsewhere for a ride home. Read more

    This is a typical Motorola in all its characteristics, good connection, and loud speakerphone. The extra loudspeakers present provide loud call signal. The power of a vibra is average. The device certainly possesses its strengths - two loudspeakers, memory cards (no hot change), a perfect screen. Considering the model is already represented on the market and has still been sold for a long time, it can be called successful. That is not a bad choice for 3G networks, just a... Read more

    As if it was straight out of a Jekyll and Hyde story, the e1000 compared to the A1000 is a gem to use. It's small, compact and dispels the belief that 3G phones have to be big and clunky. More to the point, all the features that you would want from a multimedia phone are here including Bluetooth, a 262k screen and a 1.2 megapixel camera. Even the integration of Three's 3G services has been well done on this model. What we find so strange then, is the complete difference... Read more

    The E1000 is a very well built mobile phone, which is slightly bigger and heavier when compared with other 3G phones in the market. It offers a good blend of video technology and phone capabilities in one neat package that early 3G service adopters would do well to take note of. Read more
