Motorola PEBL U3 - User Reviews

  • My first phone and i still remember when my sister pranked about my crush texting to me i literally fell to her to traps oh how lovely those days are

  • i need pasing my contact to my computer

  • how can i put music on my phone

  • It does have bluetooth. (Oh and the phone is really bad)

  • how can i sync music from my computer to my moto pebl u3 phone

  • Hello, how can i take off a music named AMOR?

  • this fone comes in about 3 colours i think not, lol, umm blue, black as u can see and green.

  • is't fine phone but i loos e my instalation's cd some body can help me co'z i can sinc to my computer thank's

  • What colours does the PEBL U3 come in?

  • Its look is very bad,like a soap. please make a set very simple which has bluetooth,mp3 and very low cost set.

  • This phone look like a handwash soap lolz

  • The phone looks practically the same as the pebl but, until I own one i will not pass any remarks about how good it works.

  • great phone. i like the size of it and the keys are easy to press

  • This model has not bluetooth...

  • Cool another pebl phone. Lets see how well they skim across the water!

  • the pebl is a great phone! i got a orange one as my first cellphone and it is great and it DOES have bluetooth.

  • A good telephone for average people. However, i had one in my hands and it doesn�t have Bluetooth as stated here.

  • rather than this better U9 with ext. memory micro SD with at least 2 mpix. Screen min 262k colors and 240x320 pixels to fill in the entire surface of the upper inside part. Buttons from thin metal like original V3 razr. Otherwise don't bother with the U3 it will not make it. Suggested colors: brown, orange, green, etc like the original U6 but skip the black one since its dull and boring...!!! Motorola trust me..!!

  • Gsmhelpdesk.nl has posted information on four phones, which according to them will be part of the 2008 product line of Motorola. We are rather skeptical about it, but will post this information. All phones are with code-names, which is typical considering there is lots of time until they are released. Motorola SKARVEN is 8-megapixel cameraphone with optical zoom and 2.8� inch, 16 million color display. Similar to the Z8, it uses the kick-slide form-factor but judging from the blurry image, we guess it will also have touch-sensitive buttons. If this information is right, it will be one of the most advanced Motorola phones. advertisment: Motorola TEXEL Motorola GENGHIS Motorola X PIXL is rumored to be the first phone, launched in cooperation with Kodak. A 5-megapixel candybar, it is also targeted as dedicated cameraphone and as rival to the Sony Ericsson K850 and other models from the class. Rumors say it will be available as the Motorola Z12. The third new phone is the Motorola TEXEL which is targeted to the music fans. Similar to the E8, it has multilayered keyboard (nine layers of characters) with �morph technology�. This means that each key can display (and respectively execute) nine different functions. Motorola GENGHIS is the last phone that the site scooped. It is QWERTY-equipped phone for the masses. Considering the Q-family, it may run on WM6 Standard OS but still this is definitely not sure. According to the site, Motorola will keep the ROKR branding for its music-dedicated phones, but will start other families: ZOOM for advanced cameraphones and MULTI Q for the Q-like devices that have business-oriented functionality

  • i think this is just like the u2,at leats it should have come with memory card compatiability if it is a step up. poor ver poor moto

  • horror, this phone looks like i stone (and calt)

  • well it should be a entry level phone meaning really cheap so if you look the cheap nokias etc this doesn't make you look like a beggar with a cellphone.it is very good

  • can someone please explain y Mot keeps on making the same crappy weak phones and charging loads for the same features just in slightly dif designs.Mot i'd ibe ur entire line up a big fat 0

  • Seriously lousy phone, motorola please kill this phone before it hits the markets and save yourself from getting into deep sh*t. Who still use VGA camera?! Unaccecptable screen! All its spec really cannot make it.

  • The U3 wont have much improvements over the U6 as its not supposed to be an upgrade, if it was it would be the U9 !

  • Could anybody who saw U3 tell us if it is made of soft touch plastic(like original pebl u6) or not? Thanks.

  • the u6 is already shocking for workability and performance. the u3 is just a downgrade. waste... pure waste.

  • Why the hell there aint a mem card and a megapixel camera!?!

  • Well this fones design really does not deserve a rating of 3.8 really being faithful

  • lol this phone is insta fail! -Smaller Screen -Added only 5 mb of memory -Added EDGE Wow big difference guys!

  • This phone is made for PTT services, if you guys don�t have that kind of service in your country I�m sorry

  • jus a refurb of the old u6 motorola let us down with this

  • why are they relesing the same junk as the u6 the only improvement wich is pointless is the internal memory.

  • I don't get it.. Why did they put the same phone with a new name?? At least they could put in a memory card slot and 1.3mp camera..

  • Guys, whats the point of redesing the U6 without improvements? The camera is the same, no memory card slot, worts desing... looks more like a refurfished phone than a restyling of the old U6.

  • this phone is already available. it was launch in peru 3 months ago

  • Prefer the old one, but wish it had at least a 2megapixel camera and media player

  • Yaay!! the PEBL!! its back, the best phone 2 play with when ur bored!! open...close...open...close...open...close :) haha id love it 4 a 2nd ph

  • O my motorla i think u think more same phones over n over n over again............ but just made it better wow.,..

  • The MOTO PEBL is no longer spring loaded.... it a shame but i'll get over it

  • well... what can we say... at least its QUADBAND! ;P Nyahahaha~~~

  • old name "PEBL", like a peble!!!! yuck,, old phone style from motorola again!!! motorola's phones are old phone!! Look! like an example,, Motorola v3 thinnest phone but poor in memory!!! yuck!!! motorola think what is best!!!

  • what an ugly phone

  • Same old stuff. We need new things new interfaces and better things. This cellphone is the baddest of all the cellphones that will suppose to come later in 2007.

  • To the person before me: The specs are right. U3 isn�t an enhanced pebl. It only has PTT and larger memory, but worse screen. It is on sale in my country and only has the advantage of PTT. Isn�t worth it

  • The specs must be wrong. This has to be a mistake. Nothing is different than the old version. No 3G, No improved camera, nothing.... Someone please update the specs, this is wrong

  • This phone is already in stores in Brazil. It's a kind of low end, cheaper PEBL U6, without some features like the automatic opening.

  • Wat a rubbish phone, can't motorola make a better handset with more features. Come on looks like the yanks can't design any good phones. Just leave it to the uk

  • no mp3 player?!!! it sucks!

  • Moto should know better what they are up to..........this phone is even worse than U6

  • this is obviously a basic phone....

  • Look at the shape, is less-rounded than original U6. Crap. Motorala did it again.

  • The truth is that those of Motorola are stupid enough .... it is the same telephone, 0 changes except an insignificant change in the design and raised 5MB the memory, which continues being a disgust

  • ROLF IS THIS A TOY PHONE OR WAT? even my lil years old sister can handle something better than this.

  • Oh, and hellgod24, VGA is .3mp. CIF is .1mp.

  • @ hellgod24, That was LjPx's comment, not mine.

  • ...and...another ugly phone from motorola...i feel sorry for them

  • Old Wine in New Bottle? ? ? ? ? Isn't it? Why it was launched by motorola without any functions improved than the predecessor (PEBL U6) ? At least a card slot should be included Fie Fie Fie ! ! ! ! ! Who is looking for style on this set go for MOTORAZR V3i 1000 steps ahead than it

  • totally lowend phone. next PEBL, worse display compare to U6 PEBL there is NO sense making this old crap. lowend for Afrika? do not think so. for rednex from US maybe? but in Europe, well... ...GOODBYEMOTO!!!

  • its better if it is had memory card slot... amf..

  • This is not meant as an upgrade to the u6. Why don't people understand. It is meant as a stylish entry-level phone. The u9 will be the upgrade.

  • no significant improvement and no improvment to camera. Not even a 1.3 mpx. Ill rather buy the original because its the same thing.

  • to yaiu vga camera means 0,1 mega mixel

  • motorola is goving down

  • boring!!!!

  • i'd love a pebl with proper features...

  • I know what peace of crap this is.It's made from spare parts that left behind 4 years ago... :DDD But my opinion is that this phone will cost about 80-120$ Unless motorola thinx that their name is wry popular...Or design...

  • i want that phone!!!! I WILL BUY IT

  • VGA Camera?????

  • oh no please im a big fan of motorola but the company is making a lot of crappy phones this is a shame!!! recycling old popular designs putting some old hardware such as VGA cameras and small display size omg... and to top it off, they put the prices on the sky!!! :(

  • the motorola pebl u3 or motorola phones they have no infraredpoat and os

  • It's a low end phone. Moto are gonna have a ROKR PEBL phone that will be mid range.

  • Is this a joke? Is it an entry level phone or is Motorola gonna use the design excuse to place a premium price tag on what is essentially a basic phone?

  • Great design - better than the Sony Ericsson Z320 and Z250 - and I like Sony Ericsson phones normally. But... it still uses the old and horrible menu system which is far inferior to the Sony Ericsson ones.

  • if motorola intends to sell it as entry level=cheap line it is great.if not it is horrible.

  • NICE ENTRY motorola U3 wish u a good luck.... may you prove + for motorola

  • No:1

  • NICE fone 1)DESIGN IS OFFCourse COOL like U6 2) Features sre ok but Memory card and radio was supposed to be in it. 3) Price b/w 90-110 $ (USD) will be a favour in the sales of this fone. Like motofone f3 (Which is a very big hit) Well motorola................. i'll rate ur fone by QUALITY AND PRICE RATIO 8/10 (90 $) 7/10 (100$) 6/10 (110+ $) wEL the fone has a fabulous design

  • This is a downgraded version of the U6. Like the LG KG800 down to the KG280. Hopefully the U9 will be an upgrade.

  • Where's the mega pixels camera ??? and about the card slot ... tesk tesk.. disappointed too

  • r u joking... there is no upgrade from the u6, and even that wasn't very good... im disappointed with you motorola, I gotta say.

  • This release must be a practical joke of some kind?!?!?!? A 'new' version/re-release of a two year old phone were almost all specs are the same or WORSE??? The FORM is good though, the very round shape make it much more robust...

  • This cellphone seemed to be useless...

  • This is the worst announcement ever. Waiting for something better from Motorola.

  • Hey people wait a minute... this phone is already released here in brazil about one and half a year.only coming out now, that's it. it's like the lg kg 280.... same problem

  • cooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooool rateeeeeeeeeeeee itttttttttttttt very nicelyyyyyyyyyyyyyy plzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

  • I like Moto, but WTF???

  • come on Motorola... a new phone announced near end of 2007 and a VGA camera. Would rather suggest skipping the camera in such a case....There are so many people who need phones with good music/video playback functions, radio, and data/internet solutions like EDGE or 3G but are not allowed to carry camera phones at work... this would fill a big need in the market..
