Looking rather like a Blackberry torch, the keyboard on the SPICE doesn't slide out of the side like most Motorola phones. Instead it comes out of the panel at the bottom and gives it a very sophisticated look, very reminiscent of a blackberry. However, though the design is like the torch, the specs on the SPICE are slightly less in depth. The screen is a 3" 240x320 pixel display, which is considerably less than the blackberry torch and the camera is only 3 megapixels. However, it is much smaller and lighter than its blackberry counterpart and more than likely going to be far cheaper.
With GPS and Wi-Fi as standard the 3.5G phone will vary depending on the market, though the specs stay generally the same. Because it's an Android 2.1 (not a 2.2 available yet) you can download all the android apps and you can link with social networking site. It also has a nifty little remote function that lets you wipe your phone if it's stolen or lost.
Although the memory is bigger than last year's range at 256mb, it's still not a lot and if you intend to store a lot of music or photos the SD slot holds up to 35GB extra. The phone is pocket sized and weighs only 145 grams, and the battery life is around 7 hours talk time, but a disappointing 9 days stand by- which is pitiful compared to most phones on the market now. However, as a cute little eco-friendly bonus the phone is 25% recycled plastic.
