Motorola T191

I have been a proud owner of mobile phones for about the last 9 years. As a general rule I happily stick to Nokias with the odd foray into Ericsson. Unfortunately, my sixteen year old daughter also has a penchant for mobile phones. Her favourite hobby for the last two years has been to see how far she can run up the phone bills in a short a time as possible! She doesn't care whether it is her mobile phone, mine or the house phone. She has run up £3,000 of phone bills in eighteen months.No, that is not a typo, it really does say three thousand pounds! It doesn't matter how carefully I hide my mobile phone Caroline always finds it! My ...  Read the complete review

When it comes to phones everyone seems to have a Nokia of one kind or another so I wanted to be different. I wanted one that has the same features as the newer Nokias but wanted something that people won’t just think another Nokia! So after trekking around loads of mobile phones shops I came across the Motorola T191e, which seems to fulfil my requirements and is smaller than most Nokias, which is a bonus. I bought mine from Orange and it was a steal at £100 on the Pay As You Go tariff. It has a lot going for it as far as features are concerned but I will start off from the thing you first notice styling and design. It is small at only 106mm long 40mm in ...  Read the complete review

I always thought that Motorola was more for the business end of the mobile market. In fact at first glance the T191e looks like a baby brother for their Timeport range. Once you start getting to grips with it you soon realise it's aimed far more at the social user and is really ideal for the Pay As You Go user. The first notable feature is the size. 106x40x15 and 80g makes it smaler and lighter than comarable Nokias. Battery life is similar to these, being approximately 5 days. It does have the distinctive Motorola aerial, which most Nokia users hate. The one downside of the small size is that the keypad is equaly dinky; my most ...  Read the complete review

A phone, or a fashion accessory?, that is the question. It may be hard to believe, but this non-nokia phone is both. Since purchasing this phone over 3 years ago, I would have expected to be getting bored with it by now; but if anything it has just grown on me, and there is no way I would swap it for the world, let alone a nokia. It is small, lightweight, and full on little feature; what else could you ask for? It is nicely compact, with measuring just 11cm in lenght, with a width of 4cm, and just 1.5cm deep. You do the maths, how does that compare with most nokias, you don't exactly have to be a genius to work it out, do you? Its stylish silver ...  Read the complete review

The Motorola T191 is probably the best phone I've ever owned. Having said that, it has its faults. I like it because its small and fits in my pocket and I dont notice its there till it starts vibrating away. The main problem i find with this phone are that the battery tends to wear down quite fast. In addition, when typing text messages, I sometimes find that the message gets erased! When I type a new message (rather than replying to one that was sent to me) and the message doesn't get sent, then the message gets erased and I have to type it over again. The only other problem I have with this phone is that the silver paint is starting to wear off in places, ...  Read the complete review
