Motorola ROKR W5 - User Reviews

  • 5 hours on standby?!?!?!?!?! Your W5 must be broken because mine last almost a week on standby

  • MUSIC: It has a good music player that you can use even when the phone is folded, but its loud speaker isn't that 'loud'. Using headphones is more enjoyable. Doesn't have radio. BATTERY: lasts 5 hours on standby, and half an hour playing music, games, surfing the Internet or making calls. CAMERA: As you zoom, the image size shrinks - in Nokia phones such as 6300 it doesn't. If you fold the phone with the camera turned on, you can see yourself in the tiny screen to take a picture. VIDEO: you can play both 3GP and MP4 as long as they have a 176x220 resolution. You can set the video camera to record as much as your memory card can save. MEMORY CARD: not much to say here, 2GB is a decent maximum. INTERNET: I'm posting this from my computer, using my Motorola W5 as a modem. Yes, you just need Motorola Phone Tools installed on your Windows PC and a USB cable. GPRS connection is slow, but fast enough to see most web pages, check your mail and social networks, download lightweight files, etc. The best mobile browser to use on this phone is Opera Mini, but UC Lite and Bolt Lite also work if you want to give them a go (the latter is the one that works the slowest). JAVA: Doesn't allow access to the file system, for example you can't use Opera Mini's download manager because applications are not allowed to write on the disks.

  • This was my last phone, and I had it for 3 years. It froze sometimes, in a way that the only solution to bring it back was removing and inserting again the battery. But that didn't happen that frequently. Let's say, not more than 10 times during all the time I used it as my main mobile phone. Besides that, my only complain is that the video recording could have a bigger time limit. For all the rest it can do, it performed very well.

  • This phone is a real piece of junk. Really. It's all full of bugs. It's impossible, for example, to transfer files to it (using it as a mass storage device). It simply freezes and corrupts all data in the memory card. Also, the music player has a constant background noise, like a radio with bad reception (a noise that "follows" the sound - i'm not sure you can understand what I mean, but I hope you do). And Motorola has a very stupid policy of not allowing any firmware update after the warranty period ends. This phone can make you very angry. It's almost a brick, since one can't enjoy most of its features.

  • the way to get to the blutooth on the ROKR W5 is to open the menu, then press the tools button then highlight the the ring style button. then press the up arrow on the phone then it takes you to the connection section for the blutooth. don't press the ring style button just highlight it.

  • I have this phone for over a year and I love it, I haven't had no problems with it ,it has a lot of features that I love about this phone . One is you can make your own ring tones with the voice record feature or the moto Id feature and you can download pictures as screen savers . For of all you that can't find the manual for this phone in english you can get the manual for the motorola W490 which is the same phone but a later model,from motorola in english

  • I also need a user guide in english were you able to get one? If so please email to [email protected] Thank you

  • The best Phone I Ever Had Music Sound Great the color also Attract Female This Phone Is very Hard To find Thanks God I Got One.

  • I lost my user guide. Can you give me a copy of your spanish manual. My e-mail is [email protected]

  • nice phone, great battery and sound camera is just fine for a 1.3 megs phone metal cover and keypad (really like that from moto) will they ever update the classical motorola interface??? just dated

  • Nice phone! I have one for about 4 months now and it's really cool. I can hear songs for 5-6 hours and battery is still more than 50%. Downside is it lags a bit and its very unstable when you transfer files to your computer... using programs like windows media player or winamp while the phone is connected might crash and corrupt files in your phone.

  • C'mon! It is have all the features that you tell that it don't. Dont say cr*p!

  • I need a users guide in english please. My Rokr w5 came with a spanish guide. Please send info to [email protected] Thanks

  • y need view colors [email protected]

  • But it looks like W510,a cheaper one without edge and bluetooth A2DP .Maybe this one is the worst ROKR I've ever seen.So I prefer a V3i or E2.

  • First! Anyone owns this yet? My sister is looking for a good cheap phone
