Motorola W161 - User Reviews

  • one of best built phone I bought this phone in 2008 and used 2 year and gave my mother. till today I am using this phone and changed the battery once.

  • i am use at present now.it was purchased 4years 6 month ago.now some problem arise(it was occurred by myself). but it is very very hardy hand set.thanks to motorola tim.

  • i have used this phone for 3 years , but it broken now...... , i m having latest phone thanthis but still ( I miss u buddy ). becaus u was the first phone of my life.

  • i do have a phone like that i really do like it and it gives me a way to talk to anyone and i will pass it on to family members that needs a phone which this phone is sold in africa makes it more unique

  • This phone is sold in Africa kiddies. They're glad just to have mobile phones.

  • hey johnny boy, go and scr*w a goat. moto w161 is a great phone.

  • nenu nanna tunne chepu bolimagane, thaihadaka

  • The phone is costing 950 INR. If one says its costly, how able are you to afford internet usage.. lol. Its easy to blame a company, curse it and talk openly in a forum. If you dont like the phone, why did you even bother reading the specs and wasted your time in commenting... some people.. you know.. just try to act jokers when they are actually fools

  • you crazy? For the price you can get a better phone with color lcd at least!

  • i think its best phone with maximum functions as in a simple one... i will buy this phone as soon as it releases

  • It's obvious they want to reach the 3rd world with this phone, with 7 african languages, hindi and english. Clever.

  • thanks those who give a good blessing to moto w161 i m really thank ful them.and those who think that moto has acquired a undefined place in the market then i just want to say that moto was moto is and moto will be the market king becoz moto is moto.ant those who want to blame moto then kep in mind that a beggar also blames a king behind him but a land lord also catch le of the king so be ready to catch moto leg.

  • HAHAHA!!! This is AT&T next gophone...Wow back in the day phone with black n white screen upgraded with radio....HAHAHA!!!!

  • good basic phone. i like it.

  • its a F3 deluxe edition ??? ahahhahahahahahah its have a FM radio and display its 200% best than F3,its great phone for use only for call and hear FM music,no more...

  • The only thing is, the F3 is 9 MM thick. And this is 14 MM thick. And I know this contains a radio, but I would have an F3.

  • moto should give this away for free...or just hide it:)

  • what is iTAP..?

  • Moto has created this phone for the poor people of Africa & India. Moto has got hold of a new marketing skill to mint money frm the POOR.. Wow vee!! But the fact remains tht the cost price of this phone would be so less tht even if Moto gives it free of cost to people, they would not make any loss considering the high profits they make by selling the high end phones, but still moto wud never do charity b'coz money is every company's main priority. Good job Moto. Have a nice day all of you. Cheers!!

  • no! this is not the same exact phone as the w160!!! which has 100 number storage W161 got a 200 number storage for phone #'s :)

  • "7 African languages, Hindi and English" - come on, there are people who'd be extatic if they had/could afford this one. Don't compare it to phones for Europe and USA.

  • Why motorola�s ultra cheap phones (like this) has radio and high-end phones(like z10)don�t?

  • come on motorola, this is the same exact phone as the w160!!!

  • Motorola should just die, its a waste of space in handsets market! die moto! u dont even try anymore. just give up. we wont miss you

  • Is there any difference between this and the W160 except a slightly different look?
