Motorola W388 - from the bazaar

Menu, software

After turning the phone on there is a sweet little panda looking back at us, or at least this has been the default wallpaper on the model I’ve been testing – well, how should I say it, it doesn’t really suggest the HelloMoto feeling, but by the end of the testing period we became really good friends with the panda. When pressing the central button we continue the time travel, as we get to the grid menu, which has nine icons and based on their design they could have been drawn by fourth-graders, but I think that they were made by professional people. So, they look quite childish and it’s really strange that the Alarm clock in the top left corner and the Office tools near it have the same red clock as an icon, but the latter one has a pen near it. The reason for this is that the alarm can be accessed from the Office tools too, but I can’t understand why. Even the name is strange, as there’s nothing special here – or at least nothing that I would call an office tool – just a calculator, a stopwatch, chat, custom menu, calendar, Phone Inspector and a link to call setup.

We have a funny situation with games, there is Sudoku and Tetris, just to let us be smart and clever. Both are EA products, but they are lame in such a way that is a real shame, I just wouldn’t give my name for these – I only say that such a thing like this Tetris is enough for a shallow pass mark in the third semester of a normal programmer’s university, but only if the professor is in a good mood. Sudoku is of a similar quality, but I’d rather call it a second semester program, as it doesn’t really have graphics. It’s terrible.

There is a thing called Web access in the main menu, which should be an HTML browser. I didn’t want to ruin my mood, so I didn’t check it out, no one should browse the web at 128 x 160 pixels. An e-mail client might have been a better idea, but there is no such thing at Messaging, only SMS and MMS – this can really be a great experience, but anyway, I don’t want to be displeased, at least there is such a function.
