Motorola really needed to produce the goods with this phone in a bid to stay up there in the market, and i think its fair to say they did a good job at it. The Dext is installed with Motorola's new motoblur, and is -in my opinion- a mix between an iPhone and a Blackberry. The phone is targetted specifically at the younger and social life audience as the design is trendy and the handset comes packed with live widgets and applications for your own personalized social life!
