Motorola Fire XT is a full touchscreen phone running on Android 2.3 (Gingerbread) platform, making it really fast and powerful. It packs in a 800 MHz processor with 512 MB RAM not enough with the competitive market.

Camera: The phone sports a 5 megapixel camera with auto focus and LED flash and it also has front camera for video calls. The picture quality of camera is acceptable but not the best.

Fire XT also includes GPS and Navigation, Google Maps, Wi-Fi, 3.5G support, Bluetooth and access to the Android Market. There is a relatively large 1540mAh battery in Fire XT, which can provide up to 5 hours of talk time and 21 days of standby time on 3G.
