Motorola EM326g: old school, in a bad way

Rumor January 15, 2009

To those of you hoping Motorola’s business strategy team would be planning a bombshell to start Moto’s post-layoff announcement press on a high note, it unfortunately looks as though that won’t be the case. It won’t be the sexy Moto Flash or Calgary – hell it won’t even be the sort-of-sexy Niagra. Instead, we’re looking at a likely candidate in the EM326g. Sporting a slider form factor, textured back, 1.3 megapixel camera, Bluetooth, microSD slot and a full-sized headphone jack, this thing is about as well-equipped as the four-year-old RAZR V3i. What becomes apparent when you take a look at the back cover however, is the handset’s destination – NET10, where the EM326g is indeed an upgrade from some of the prepaid MVNO’s current offerings. If NET10 and Moto can get the price low enough however, this handset will likely do well among users looking for a slightly more stylish phone with some additional though basic features. Expect an official announcement soon.

    I’ve had this phone for a day now and SO FAR I’m pretty much satisfied. I’ve had the Nokia1600, the LG600G (the worst net10 phone I’ve had), and the SamsungT201G.

    It has all the basic features you’d expect in a phone these days, and it’s (somewhat) stylish. This is the most advanced phone Net10 currently has to offer.

    The only complaint I have with this phone is that the screen was manufactured sideways so the contrast is disorienting on the phone. You’d have to see the phone to really know what I’m talking about.

    If you like net10, and want a nice upgrade from their usual second-rate phones, get this one.

    Larry,
    When you did your initial charge, did you charge it for five hours like it said? I’ve had absolutely no issues with this phone at all..

    I am the General Manager of a restaurant in Huntsville, AL. I was burned by Sprint, T-Mobile, and verizon wireless. I came to net10 last year and have never and will never go back. This new motorola slider is amazing in all aspects. It even has a damm slot for a micro SD card. How many 20 dollar phones come with that feature out there? I say that all of you out there that bad mouth this computer can lick my girlfriends shit of my dick. my email adress is jason.blagman@yahoo.com if anyone has a problem with that statement.

    On the EM 326G phone, can anyone tell me how to set up the categories for contacts and then set different ringtones for the contacts?  I sure would appreciate the help.
