Just when you think you know what to expect from a mobile phone, phone, like Motorola Crush comes along. It may look like a normal phone with touch screen, although low-end side, but it has some quirks design, which surprised us. They do not affect usability, but you should know about them anyway. In general, Crush is a decent phone, and he reminds us that you can get a touch screen phone for less money. Of course, the display is small, and its decision will not knock your socks off, but it offers satisfying call quality and functional range of possibilities. You can take it to U.S. Cellular for $ 69.95 with a two-year contract and $ 50 discount. If you do not want to pay full price and not sign a contract, is $ 249.95.
Design
Motorola Crush has a standard candy bar design is 4.17 inches in length and 2 inches wide and 0.57 inches deep. The touch screen may surprise you, but it is supporting 262000 colors and 400×240 pixels. As mentioned above, the display resolution is not impressive – colors and graphics just did not scorch the screen – but it is enough for phones in this price range. While we usually will complain that the 2.8-inch display is too small for touch-screen, let it be a slide here, because we find that Moto is trying to do. As touch screens to grow in popularity, it is natural that they will migrate down the food chain in the mid-level and more affordable models.And if the manufacturer can make it work, but Moto did here, we are not going to stop progress.
At 3.6 ounces, Crush will not weigh you down, but it offers a convenient and reliable feel to the hand. In addition, we, like the touch of a soft material on the back cover. The camera lens is located on the rear panel, there is no flash or self portrait mirror. On the left spine you’ll find the volume, 3.5 mm headset jack and Micro-USB port, which accommodates both the charger and cable USB. We appreciate the Moto to add standard ports on both counts. On the right spine voice dialing control, camera and card slot for MicroSD. The only thing missing is specialized in the “Back” button.
Features

You can organize contacts into groups and pair them photo and one of 18 alerts and ringtones.

In addition to the basics, you’ll find stereo Bluetooth, a pedometer, speaker-independent voice commands, PC syncing, voice recorder and USB Mass Storage.
Crush has a 2-megapixel camera, but we could not find the camera settings for digital zoom.You do not even get a choice of resolution, which is the least we expected. We are not satisfied with the growing trend of mobile phones that lack of camera editing features. The camcorder also devoid of features. Clips for multimedia messages with a maximum of 15 seconds. Picture quality is very good. Colors looked natural and had only a minimal amount of noise.
Media player fairly minimalist, but it is suitable for a phone like this. It supports many formats (MP3, WAV, WMA, eAAc +, AAC, AAC +, MIDI), but it can play music only from the memory card. You do not get one in the field, and MicroSD slot will accommodate cards up to 16 GB.Internal memory of 150 MB is Crush. Crush also offers a GPS navigator with the phone networks in motion. You get turn-by-turn navigation, local search, and traffic updates, and movies and other events.
