Hey guys,
I want to tell you something about my new mobile, Motorola Talkabout 191.
I did not only pick it for its design, but especially because of its features. Nothing I could wish for!
Since I do not talk a lot on the phone, I got a pre-paid card along with Motorola Talkabout 191.
There are several reasons why I can recommend Motorola Talkabout 191.
First of all, there is its cool design. My friends dig it - and me. I guess Motorola Talkabout 191's design will especially appeal to youngsters.
Second, Motorola Talkabout 191 is one of the lightest devices in its class. It only weighs 83 g at a size of 40 x 106 x 15 mm. Regarding its weight, Motorola Talkabout 191 can easily compete with 'upper class' mobiles, such as Nokia 6510 or 8310.
I remember how I switched on Motorola Talkabout 191 for the first time. Its wonderful ringing sounds and the net-like globe that appeared on the spacey looking screen shot me right up to cloud nine.
Motorola Talkabout 191 convinced me right from the beginning. I guess you could call it love at first sight.
The SMS function of Motorola Talkabout 191 is supported by a text construction software. This is very important to impatient people like me.

Then there is an SMS tool that allows communicating with other mobiles that are capable of SMS chatting. Motorola Talkabout 191 also offers pictures that can be sent to other Motorola owners.

But there is even more to come:
Motorola Talkabout 191 features WAP. Thus, new pictures can be downloaded on Motorola Talkabout 191 from the internet. Of course, one can use WAP as well for other downloads.
Only the battery of Motorola Talkabout 191 might whine if you do so, it is pretty weak.
In order to prevent at least the little durability the battery of Motorola Talkabout 191 has got, the battery has to be completely flat before it can be charged again. Otherwise, the memory effect, which damages the battery, will occur.
My friend experienced the memory effect; his Motorola Talkabout 191's battery was broken. He was ready to blame it on Motorola Talkabout 191 until he was told that the memory effect is a common problem with cell phones.
Even wireless, Motorola Talkabout 191 features a great data transfer sufficiency. It is reliable and works quickly.
Motorola Talkabout 191 also features java technology.
After so much praise it is about time for a few negative aspects about Motorola Talkabout 191:
Unfortunately, Motorola Talkabout 191's keypad and screen are not easy to handle.
Motorola should really work on this flaw, because there is definitely something wrong with the dubbing of Motorola Talkabout 191. When I type in one word, it will only appear on the display after a while. Repetitions of the same word are resulting , which is especially annoying when you are SMSing someone you would like to impress.
But other than that, there are only good things to state about Motorola Talkabout 191. I am thinking about getting a contract soon, but I will definitely stick to Motorola Talkabout 191.
