 Dreadful reception capability, 2006-09-26
I live in a country area but have managed to get perfectly good reception with a Motorolla V220. However, the Pebl refuses to get any signal in Northumbria at all. i have since read other reviews which say that this phone has very poor reception. Even if you live in a city there will be times when you may need to make a call to the AA or a friend from somewhere more remote.
A phone which can't function over a good area is no good at all.
 Beautiful phone but with some limitations, 2007-01-13
I love this phone. I love it so much when, having had it for just two weeks and accidentally immersing it in seawater so that it died, I bought another one. My original one was a free upgrade but after two weeks I was willing to spend £100 on a replacement. I liked it that much.
I've now had my PEBL for over six months. I still love it, but some of its limitations have become apparent. I'll list the pros and cons and you can judge for yourself.
**Pro the PEBL**
It's a clamshell - why would anyone ever buy a phone that isn't a clamshell and risk phoning someone up when kicking their bag in a pub (yes, I did this with a normal phone, but fortunately phoned the friend I was in the pub with so we realised; saved a huge bill!)?
Beautiful design and, as yet, I haven't found it at all flimsy
That fantastic opening manoeuvre which is just so cool
Some good standard ringtones
Battery life seems fine
Menus are reasonably customisable and there are lots of useful options
The phone is lightweight, fits in a lady's pocket and that smooth shape works well
Reception seems fine wherever I use it and it's always easy to hear people and for them to hear me
**Cons for the PEBL**
The camera is really pants. The one on my previous Samsung was 10 times better and that was an older phone. The video feature is equally pants.
Texting can be slow... you type quite far ahead of the actual phone sometimes, and I'm no speedy teenager at texting
The software that came with the phone doesn't work with my PC running WinXP (I think this is a conflict with my computer as it is meant to work); however, I have some other Bluetooth software which will work for transferring files and stuff, I just can't use all the address book features that are in the proper software
The main thing about this phone for me is the good design and it's very easy to live with. Despite the poor quality of photos I still give it 5 stars because I think it's that good. It won't suit everyone but that's why there are hundreds of different models of phone out there!
Don't buy, 2006-03-22
Don't buy this phone it's so flimsy. I had it a month and the front cover is already broken. Also the downloaded mp3 sound is absolutely pants. The text is also very slow at times.
Motorola quirk?, 2006-11-07
As with my wifes Motorola Razr, has one big niggle that I don`t like. If you assign personal ring-tones to names in your book and any of those people send you an instant message, you receive the full ring-tone irrespective of the alert you have chosen for your messages. Annoying if you run downstairs thinking you`ve got a call, only to discover it`s a text message. I`ve never experienced this with any other make of phone. Also switches itself off occasionally for no apparent reason. Other than that, a neat, compact little phone that I do actually quite like.
