Motorola FIRE XT

Not much to say here, well it cannot be a discussion regarding resolution like "PPI" too much. well it was mentioned by "Anubhav" that it has got really low ppi of 165. Well! my friend, Ipad/Ipad2 both have PPI of 132 only. but people don't argue that, because it's Apple.
its a decent product from MOTO but not something which has set things on FIRE that too XT.
go for it for a large display(though HVGA is just fine if not good), large battery, latest Android, front cam (HTC and Samsung have nothing with front cam in this price range).
We are yet to see some major Competition from HTC(check out HTC Bliss), due for launch soon.

I was on the lookout for an affordable and reliable Android phone which would allow me inter alia to make video calls as well as be and easy to use which decent styling. I must say that I have fallen in love with the phone courtesy the widgets and the clarity and size of the screen which allows me to read documents with ease (trust me, I have a BlackBerry Bold for my official purpose and yet I find the Moto better). The processor at 800 MHz is superb and so far the phone has never been sluggish.
The camera with its auto focus and flash is pretty good and at 5MP you get decent shot.
This Moto is far better than HTC Wildfire and Widlfire S phones that are its competitors. The problem with the latter is typing on the phone which is on account of the petite frame of the Wildfire and Wildfire S.
The plus points are:
Processor Speed
Secondary Camera for video calls
Primary Camera for photo shooting
Light and thin design, easy to use
Latest Android OS (2.3 Gingerbread)

The negatives:
Touch screen not made of Gorilla glass, so not meant for heavy duty work.
Lack of accessories associated with the phone (maybe because it is newly launched) like screen guards, phone cases.
Moto Lounge is inaccessible for customers in India.

Place for improvements
Colour of the phone:Different colours should have been available
Battery; Last for just about a day
Keypad; Initially typing on the phone is difficult but later one manages to adjust to it just.

Conclusion; Motorola has produced a winner for having made a phone that is fun and easy to use and fitted with a great processor which runs Gingerbread (Android 2.3). Maybe it is the Google effect after it took over Motorola Mobility.

i bought the product 3 days ago from flipkart...there nodoubt about thier service the product was delivered on time as they promised.
Regarding the product, it looks good from out side but the 5 megapixel camera quality is very poor worse than 3 mega pixel camera and also the sound quality sucks !!!....the product looks high-fi but the quality of head phones provided are very cheap, there is no pouch for the mobile as provided by samsung and nokia,.
Also the screan guard keeps on comming out.
for those who are buying this mobile i sugesst please please ensure that there is a distributer at your place for motorola, bcoz motorola cell are not found commonly on the shops this days...

i wish i could exchange this product to flipkart with something else...

if u r looking for all the below features in a single phone n also worried about ur pocket.. then must go for it:

..android 2.3 gingerbread (runs very smoothly, no lags/hangs)

..3.5" capacitive touchscreen (excellent, there is big difference between 3.5" n 3.2" screen)

..front cam (excellent quality)

..rear cam 5 mp + autofocus + flash (average, but >3.2 mp)

..800Mhz processor + graphic card + 512 MB RAM(gaming is excellent)

..sound quality (very good but not loud, install realplayer for
loudness)

..budget around 10500 Rs.

the 5 mp cam is not so great it is average(still better than 3.2 mp of leading brands)
the average battery life is about 2 days with normal usage including gaming, browsing, media n clicking pics..
best android phone to buy around 10500. I wud recommend it in this price range.

I own Motorola Fire XT 530. This phone basically have Gingerbread 2.3.5 as its latest version. But it has Froyo Kernel (APPS_2.6.32.9). Means running a Gingerbread OS on a Froyo Kernel. And Believe me its pathetic experience I am having on this phone. Why cant a Gingerbread phone have Gingerbread kernel ? (i.e. 2.6.35 and above). That's why this phone has many serious bugs in its software, for example this phone will not go into deep sleep state. And thats why it has been draining the battery in standby mode and even the phone is becoming hot. This is a major issue which has to addressed as soon as possible. Technically speaking, WIFI Partial wakelock is the root cause for this problem which is not letting phone to go to deep sleep mode. The phone will be awake 24x7 even if the screen is off.
This phone is giving me worst ever android experience even though I bought this phone looking at its Hardware Specifications which are quite competitive and the software inside this phone is just NO VALUE for MONEY.

Note that, this issue is present in all Motorola Fire XT 530 phones. Updating it to latest kernel only help this bug to get out. And this phone has many other bugs which are very annoying.

And Motorola never unlock its bootloader so you cant install Cyanogenmod or any other nth AOSP custom ROM to this phone.

Wanna Spend 9.5k just to make phone calls? If no, go buy Nokia for 999 bucks which is absolute value for money.
