Not a fan of the pebl but had a feeling Moto was gonna change most their phones to have the same features as the V8 and V9 or at least similar.

I'm one of those that love Moto's, especially on the GSM networks, but I'm not to crazy about the looks of this handset.

Looks like another fingerprint magnet.

Same here. I think this phone will be awesome in black. I think I am gonna wait for this rather than the V8.

If it is any thing like the first Pebl. Far less people have a Pebl. I don't like having the same phone as everyone else. That is what was so appealing about the V360 to me.

I still keep my V360 for the same reason. Even when it was new, there weren't a whole lot of people walking around with one of these, as apposed to the RAZR.

I shouldn't be so biased against Motorola,but ever since I got my first Razr(back when they were not seen in the hand of every 15 year old in the country)I hated it.I mean I dropped it once(on carpet)and the back was totally warped.I had to tape the back on!Plus the UI on Motorolas...just the worst.
Okay,I'm gonna stop ranting now.
Kinda excited about seeing what they did with the UI with JUIX.Hopefully it'll be good.

I agree. I don't know if it's me or what, but for some reason every phone I see coming out these days is a fingerprint magnet.

Which is kinda odd, because the original PEBL was matte.

The PEBL was pretty much the anti-RAZR. I loved it...but the RAZR was more popular.

No moar PEBLs!! :rocketeer:

Besides being an insane finger print magnet, the phone book was horrendous. I mean 1 entry for EVERY phone number even if 1 person has 3 numbers? =_= Also lagged horribly when typing a txt msg, no EDGE so it was slow as hell, tiny screen, awful camera, got dirty just from holding it next to my face @_@;. Also the magnets it had to close it I had to be careful to keep it farr away from any credit cards or subway cards. Oh and 5mbs of memory...wtf >_> I got a "msg capacity reached" every single day.

The only cool thing was the flip open mechanism. That's something I kinda miss. Also it's heavier than my current T639 even though current phone is bigger dimension wise.

Thanks to the PEBL, I have developed a great hatred for all Motorolla phones. :mad:
