User rating 4.1   Read reviews - Add review
This update to the popular Motorola i530 is tougher and more powerful than its predecessor. With the strongest ruggedized shell and best weatherproofing available on the market today, the Motorola i560 is one tough flip phone!  With a nice color display, and quality speakerphone this phone is built for an active world.

Durability

Overall Rating:
2.4 out of 5
By: Bernard Thomas on Saturday, October 21, 2006
From: Bellingham, WA (United States)
Experience: 1 Years
Pros: Takes some punishment and keeps working

Cons: Battery life, antenna, sim card contacts

Summary: Battery life is a problem. Seems it always needs a charge and have had many instances where I have to cut my call short.

The antenna does not hold in the extended position. About 2 weeks aftetr I got the phone, the mechanism that holds the antenna in the extended position failed.

When you drop the phone, it shuts off.

I had a stretch where the phone would indicate there was no SIM card. Upon inspection, the clip that holds the SIM card in place against the contacts was not strong enough to keep the SIM card in contact at all times. I had to manually bend the tang to increase the pressure on the SIM card to ensure it was in contact which seemed to resolve the issue.

There have been several times where I can hear the person on the other end, but they cannot hear me. This is probably a network issue, more than a phone issue.

From: Whitehall, MI (United States)
Experience: 11 Months
Pros: I have dropped mine several times and it still works

Cons: The battery only lasts for about 2 hours

Summary: If you talk too much the battery dies out very quickly..exp: if you chat on it for like 30 minutes then make another call the battery is almost dead. I really wish they would replace the battery with a longer life one
