U.S. Cellular: Soon to Offer Motorola Crush
Filed under: Cell Phone Information, Cell Phones
We have seen quite a few Motorola handset released lately, and now we are hearing of another handset, this is called the Motorola Crush and is said to be available from U.S. Cellular soon.
The handset is nowhere near as impressive as the Motorola Droid or the CLIQ, nor is it as rugged as the Quantico, infact its pretty average in every aspect.
The handset is an all-touchscreen device with a 2.8 inch display which supports as resolution of 240×400, other specifications worth mentioning include the handsets 3G connectivity, 2 megapixel camera, Bluetooth and microSD memory card slot.
We have not yet heard any details regarding pricing, however as we hear details we will keep you informed. The handset should launch on U.S. Cellular before the end of the year, for more information check out IntoMobile.

I’m doing my best to warn people about this phone, because my girlfriend got this from US Cellular in the absence of any user reviews because the Crush was so new. Caveat emptor. Living in Chicago, we want Motorola to succeed. Well, while on paper the phone looks promising, in daily use it’s awful. Between my girlfriend and another friend of hers, both took the phone back AND upon returning them, heard ‘yeah we see a lot of that’ from the tech department (the sales people somehow are oblivious to how bad this phone is). We weren’t thrilled with the lack of customization: the opening screen is fixed and you can’t change it to show your favorites- you must cycle through at least 2 if not more menus for any task, even dialing! Instructions are very sketchy, but this may be because it’s new and no one has posted much on the web (trust me, with this dog, they won’t). Within a day of getting the phone, despite being locked and sitting in her purse, it would spontaneously start dialing people. After a call, it would sometimes (not consistently) require numerous strokes to get it to hang up and lock (maybe it just craves affection?). Then, believe it or not, it actually can generate a BSOD (blue screen of death) with http type coding all over it. Maybe we had a bad one, but is it coincidence that her friend at work had all the same problems? We’ve both used motorola’s for years with great luck, until she got stuck with the most recent Razr where they moved the text buttons to coincide with different numbers. Now she’s using LG, which sucks considering I have PhoneTools for motorola. On the other hand, LG does not require any software to interface with their phone. In a nutshell, stay away from the Crush.
