Motorola Fire - User Reviews

  • I can buy this phone, but the model is too bad for me

  • Hello, I am trying to identify the phone I have in my hands and my believe is that this phone and XT311 are the same thing just build for different countries. Processor inside Qualcomm MSM7227 A correction please, this is not a dual sim phone. Thank you.

  • this phone is extremely good !

  • yes, but not as fast as galaxy s 3.

  • does it support skyfire?

  • It's for all countries,not onl Brasil. It's in Europ too.

  • If this is only for Brazilian market why do i have this in my country Romania?

  • This model has 3G frequency 850;2100 Mhz and is named XT317:

  • I thinh that this phone is actually a good phone because it's prise i lower than other smartphones and it does it's job... ofcaurse sometimes it can be annoing but don't forget that phones are made for 2 reasons 1. make phonecalls 2. send text messages all the other applications that a mobile phone has is BENEFIT!

  • I can't really enjoyed it,because simtoolkit is not working for internet connections,even I load

  • How to use the simcard toolkit

  • I am too using this phone since 2 mnths - really Boring - Stuck - Charging 2 times in a day -

  • r u nuts?or gone mad?u'll swap ur iphone 3g for this phone?

  • can i swap my iphone 3g for this?

  • You can buy this phone, but you have to root it, and remove some preinstalled programs. Mine is working great after root, and in 3g is very quick. Very good for tiping.

  • mee too feeling the same. Suddenly hangs and switches offf

  • kinda booring phone....buy explorer instead!

  • sorry to say... so regret buy this phone.. slow... suddenly stuck and freeze.... wanna change... just use for less then 1 month....

  • I'm a bilingual user so I use the keyboard prediction for 2 languages. I'd like to know how to switch between those 2 language in portrait mode. In landscape mode is easy because the on-screen keyboard allows switching sliding the space key. But how with hardware keyboard?

  • hi,, i want to buy this phone.. saw some of the comments.. i am in india and i want to buy this phone.. should i go ahead???? can some on suggest??? at least option???

  • Its a decent phone. dual sim in brazil market maybe. but in india sold as xt311 and that's what you would have bought in bangalore.

  • this is single sim phone not dual sim, i purchased today from bangalore.

  • my ram is just 133 but its stated that it is 256... samsung galaxy y its stated to b 256 but its given a user ram of 290

  • "Fire" it's the suitable name for this because it set us on fire every time it glitches

  • For anybody lôkin for a gud dual sim phone, u shld try Motorola EX 115/119.

  • it often reboot, not a dual sim unit as describe, slow

  • This phone is a scrap using for 4 months now.I went on Motorola reputation but this phone is worst phone i had used.

  • go to flipkart.com to buy it

  • Skype does not work well in this phone, and it is also a very poor choice. Motorola did fail on this. My recomendation: do not buy it!!!!

  • Someone with this phone. Could you please tell me if it works well with voice calls through Skype? Thank you very much.

  • I think i like this phone Where can i buy it?

  • this phone really mess, why this motorola build a WASTE DESIGN?frequent reboot, lost signal and really totally mess, please dont waste your money in this people..

  • is this mobile able to see vediows

  • is this mobile able to see vediows

  • Terrible!!!! Bought it because it was one of the few 3G, Android, dual SIM available on brazilian "formal" market... Sad decision: the first one didn't support more than 6 hours in standby, reboot frequently, lost nw signal, total mess!!!! Send it back to online store where I bought it, they replaced it by a new one. Better battery life, but still a crapy phone. Very uninstable, reboots by itself a few times per day - out of the blue!!!! Looses the memory card without any reason, and a lot of Android apps don't work well. Motorola actualy did a very poor job on this phone!!!!

  • Piece o' crap! Motorola could've invented cellphone, but it never did perfect its sets.

  • Have the phone for 4 days.Not bad. QWERTY works well Call quality is good Battery is good enough. Built quality is ok,it could be better,but no real complain. Little RAM A bit laggy. First time android user,and it seems a good phone.

  • This phons is a fake one. It Simply doesn't work. At less in Brazil, everybody who bought it, as I did, returned it to the store. A few minutes after turned on, it get in a blank screen and it is need to re-start it. It doesn't work. Dont buy it if you dont want to get angry with it.

  • I need a review for this phone if it can beat Nokia Asha 303.

  • This cell phone is a piece of shit. When doing single tasks such as receiving a call or taking a picture it simply freezes. The lcd screen turns white and the telephone becomes no more responsive and you have to remove the battery. I am disapointed with motorola. I used a palm treo for many years and still didn't find a modern cell to replace it. I expected more from android and motorola.

  • it is single sim not DUAL

  • what happens when you press the display? mine ripples :)) i get a white spot if i prees harder; it seems like the plastic screen is pressing against the lcd. i saw this in 4 units i tried. is this a big issue? will the lcd fail?

  • Hi did get phone 5 days back , the touch experience is ok with QWERTY it could be better , guess after using BB u cannot transition in Fire qwerty experience .The battery is good and call reception is nice . The andriod reception is also ok , first time android user ...not using the phone for any games ..its not supposed to be used as a game phone .

  • Are 2 sim dual active or just dual stand by?

  • phone is good !! battery is not bad either... ram is the problem as it is low.. you have to use task killer for making some space.. it may stuck as lots of apps running in back...

  • i have this phone....it,s too slow....try to best

  • hey man how is this phone? it's being sold in Jarir for SR600. Good price. I'm also in ksa.

  • Eagerly waiting for the review of this phone.

  • dual SIM is for Brazilian Market (see it on the top line) The worldwide version of Fire is single SIM only. Enough said.

  • i bought one today in ksa. it's not dual sim phone.

  • This is not dual sim phone in India, can any one clarify it

  • mmmmm screen relsotin not good only 56k :(

  • from own exp. I recommend this to all. value for money, good in performance. The white colour rockzzzzz

  • Best phone for everybody.... no doubt .... good display.. all features of android .. and price off course matters......... MOST BEST AVAILABLE BUY IN MARKET THAN ANY OTHER ANDROID PHONE

  • is there something wrong with t keyboard its QWERTZ keyboard.... it's world wide or only several country such a thing ??????

  • no, it's XT311, the single SIM card that being sold.

  • from store !

  • where can i get this phone ??????????

  • In Brasil the situation is complicated...this cel looks like xt 317 but is called fire??? there are a lot os problems....i tried three times and always the same thing ocurred.... the display apears a white ligh and everything disapear and you have to take off the batery in order to restart the fone several times......the signal disapears too. is a beautiful cel but there are a lot of people whith the same problems...is a pity

  • Did any body bought this phone as dual sim ? as when i downloaded the catalog and youtube videos i found that is one sim not dual sim

  • is it in kenya coz if it is i will buy it an how much iz it

  • It is already in Indonesia.

  • Cant you see its written on top that this mobile is only for brazilian market..

  • I like this phone. Hope motorola will create a new more high spec dual SIM phone.sure I will buy it

  • In Romania motorola fire is not a dual-sim phone. I wonder why is that?

  • its look pretty cool to me...

  • Could GSM Areana pls test this mobile. thank you.

  • Rp1,990,000 in Indonesia, say $221. Does it have a small memeory, also also battery problems like the LG and the Samsung.

  • right, otherwise they both look like the samsung unit that came out first which i forgot what model it was...

  • Whichever came out first doesn't necessarily exempt it from looking to be the same as others that came out late...

  • probably its just you, in my opinion i see some resemblance but not to the point i can say it looks like...

  • whymotorola is not making dual stand by and dual talktime.

  • It says for the Brazilian market :-@

  • Motorola Fire (XT316/XT311/XT317) were launched before Asha 303. You should say that Asha 303 looks like this one.

  • Fianlly a dual sim standby smart phone with wifi, gps and cheap price. Start the fire :))

  • This phone and another phone called the Fire XT has been available in India for quite some time now. The XT is a full touch device. One of my friends has this handset. Pretty decent.

  • is it me or this kinda looks like the nokia asha 303

  • only 1 word...........yyyyyyyyyyuuuuuuuuccccccccccccsss­sssssssssssss!!!!!!

  • nice fone..
