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.

    The last time I reviewed a 3G phone on the 3 network was over a year ago and many things have changed since then. The most important change is that 3 has finally got competition from the established mobile phone carriers. To be honest, I bought a 3 phone some time ago, but it wasn’t because any of the services 3 provides, but rather because of the amount of inclusive minutes you get every month. 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

    I've just bought this phone and am waiting for it to arrive, and apparently the poor battery life is caused by the 3G service. It is fine on Vodaphone and mine is on T-Mobile and should be just as good. One way to solve this is to turn your Bluetooth off when not in use, and turn down the screen brightness. Amazing sound quality, and the memory cards can be as much as 2GB! All in all a fabulous phone 10/10!!! Read more

    Motorola E1000 is a very capable & packed phone with MP3, 1.2 camera plus zoom & light, video record & download, 3G & Bluetooth & cheap to buy. I haven't got this phone & think it has been available for a while now but was surprised it was a 3G phone. I really like it & I must have a heavy phone with no flip & flop opening devices. The E1000 should be heavy at 140 grams & has no silly opening, really like it. Read more

    Great phone. The 1.3mp camera is fantastic and the high colour quality large screen shows the photos at a top standard. By far the best screen and camera for the priceband. The 10 second video recorder is short but sweet and the sound capture is amazing without the huge emphasis on the background noise that some phones record. It has a reasonably good sized memory for a sufficient amount of photos, videos and texts that can also be improved by TransFlash cards. The... Read more
