Motorola Quench Review

Motorola Quench is the eighth Android phone that has been launched by Motorola in an attempt to “expand Motorola’s portfolio of Android-powered devices,” as Sanjay Jha, co-CEO of Motorola put it. The Quench features “MOTOBLUR” which, according to Jha, offered a “compelling differentiation from the traditional Android experience.”

The MOTOBLUR is the company’s first attempt on an Android device to help sync messages, posts, photos, contacts, and lots more from social networking sites like Facebook, Twitter, Gmail, MySpace, and even work and personal e-mail. All this content is fed into easy-to-manage streams and it is automatically delivered to the home screen.

Motorola QUENCH seems like quite a competent phone. It has a 3.1 inch, 320 x 480 capacitive touchscreen with a pinch-and-zoom feature, a 528 MHz processor, a 5MP camera, and Adobe Flash Lite to give you an easier web browsing experience, to mention just some of the features.

As you may have guessed, the main control of the Quench is through the capacitive touchscreen. However, for those who are fond of their navigational buttons, there are five of them located below the display. While the home, search, menu, and back buttons are what you would usually see on an Android phone, the optical trackpad is a new addition, and by far the best part. Simply swipe your finger over it to move through the various menu options and press it down to make a selection.

It also has the new texting software that everyone is gaga about – Swype. With it, you can input words faster and easier than any other data input method currently being used. If reports are to be believed – it can input up to 50 words per minute with one continuous stylus or finger motion across the screen keyboard. It’s sure to change the way you text.

There’s yet another interesting feature in Motorola Quench that you don’t see in many phones. If your handset gets stolen or you happen to lose it, it can easily be located with the help of a secure personal information portal. Also, by entering your user name and password, you can retrieve your messages and contacts, along with the connectivity to your previously configured networks and email providers. Sounds like you needn’t worry about losing important data because of your carelessness with the phone. That is good news for a lot of absent-minded people out there.

All the features of the Motorola Quench make it a great option for previous Motorola users who are looking to upgrade their model. Also, those looking to buy their first smartphone could consider the Quench. Of course, there are limits to this phone as well, but with the improved design and some great features coupled with the reasonable price it comes at, the Quench is quite a great buy.
