Motorola introduces entry-level MotoSmart...

Today, Motorola has introduced a entry-level Android smartphone, the Motosmart. This phone doesn't have much to shout about given it's specs however it's going to retail in the U.K. for £99.99 on PAYG or £7 on a pay monthly contract which justifies the low level specs featured.

The phone packs a 3.5-inch QVGA (320x480) display powered by a single-core Qualcomm (MSM7227 to be exact) processor clocked at 600MHz with 512MB of RAM. The phone has a 3-megapixel rear-facing camera that lacks a flash. There is 165MB of internal storage with a MicroSD slot to expand it by up to 32GB. The phone runs on Android 2.3 Gingerbread and won't be updated due to hardware incompatibility. The 1400mAh battery should see this phone lasting approximately 2/3 days depending on usage.

This is a great phone at a fantastic price but Huawei's G300 from Vodafone which is available at the same price on PAYG (and even cheaper now) gives you more value for money. However Motorola's MotoSwitch  software makes this an ideal choice for first time smartphone buyers.
