GREAT Product!! I don't even use AIM on the computer anymore!
(5 out of 5) by Amazon Customer on Oct 21, 2005I recieved this product a few days ago [...]
Both me and my brother have both purchased this and even talking about buying one for everybody.
The second thing is it's quality. Wow! You don't even need to learn anything new (unless you're new to AIM). It's very simple to use, maybe even simpler than basic AIM! It's wireless range is great! I can talk to my friends from the comfort of my bed or couch, even when I'm eating! The wireless range is nothing as horrible as other reviews make it out to be. I was talking to my friends while waiting for the bus in my driveway. I can wait in the car and talk. Sure, the image is in black and white, but in reality, who pays attention to looks for great quality service?
The only problem I had from it is when I first bought it, it said the AIM service couldn't be reached. But I think that the AIM servce might have been down at the time, because it works fine now.
The only thing I would change is the ability to edit your profile. But other than that, I would recommend this to anybody. (...) I hope my review helped you a lot!!

Awsome
(4 out of 5) by Rich on Dec 21, 2004 (NH)I got this last summer,and it worked great,we have broadband and 8 computers,so I just leave one one all the time and use it whenever I want.The only problem I have with it is that the rechargeable battery only lasts 5 minutes or so,but I'm sure thats easily replaceable.Overall great product.

Pretty cool
(4 out of 5) by Amazon Customer on Dec 26, 2004Yeah, this is pretty cool! I got it for christmas(and like any other kid), I wanted to open it right away! Yeah, you can IM without being on the computer, but there are some bad things:
The computer must be turned on. When using it for the first time, you have to charge it for 16 hours! You must be about 150 feet close to the coputer or it goes haywire and you loose your connection. And you can't use your buddy icons, so your Super Buddie Icons are useless. But you can still use emoticons, but they arn't the special one's you buy on the internet. I would auctually give this a 3.5 rating, but I can't. C-ya!

the coolest thing ever invented!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
(5 out of 5) by Amazon Customer on Oct 24, 2004OMG!!! this thing is so cool. yes, it may be 100 bucks but there is NO MONTHLY FEE!! All you have to do is be 150 feet away from a computer with internet access and then start chatting away. it's good because other family members can use the computer and you wont tie them up because yes, you are instant messaging but on you own keypad. so while dad, mom and someone else can need to look up something important you can still instant message!!!!
thnx motorolla this is the coolest thing ever, besides your cell phones, there the best!!!!
