MOTOROLA: Motorola Motoluxe

Motorola Motoluxe

It's running Android 2.3.7 Gingerbread, so no Ice Cream Sandwich yet, if at all (Motorola won't confirm if an update is on the way, but apparently all Motorola phones are guaranteed at least one software update in their lifetime, so there's hope). Switch it on and you're presented with a twist on the lock ring we've seen on some of HTC's Gingerbread handsets. On this version there's a central key button surrounded by six programmable shortcuts for phone, browser, texting, email and calendar, plus a mute setting. You can open the last function you accessed by pulling the key outwards, or you can go straight to one of the functions by dragging it into the centre. It's a neat, time-saving feature.
