I went ahead and bought this phone. I've been running it on 2.3.6 for over a month now and have no regrets with the purchase. I've written a quick review at http://www.amazon.co.uk/product-reviews/B0060LIGWW/ref=dp_top_cm_cr_acr_txt?ie=UTF8&showViewpoints=1 I like how I can assign keyboard shortcuts, so that by pressing SEARCH-, you can launch apps instantly. There are also keyboard shortcuts if you use K-9 Mail, such as 'C' for compose and 'R' for reply. I managed to install Draw Something by downloading on my HTC Desire, and using ASTRO to back it up as an .apk, and then installing it on the Moto. I did the same with the BBC iPlayer app. I rooted the phone and installed a screengrab app. I'm now able to use the Voice Search button on the phone to call up the screengrabber! 🙂 I've tuned the button into something useful now!
