MobileBurn have posted a thorough review, where they conclude: "I really like the Motorola E1000’s design. The screen, 3D speakers, excellent speakerphone function, 3G capabilities, and wide range of connectivity options make it a very capable handset. However, the odd placement of the joystick, laggy UI, poor camera, and poor battery life make it quite a hassle to use. To me, the usability of a phone ranks as the top priority. Unfortunately, the E1000 falls in the average category. If you are looking for a 3G phone with excellent stereo sound, and you think that you can live with all its shortcomings, the E1000 is it. Otherwise, you have been warned."
