Motorola W205 - User Reviews

  • What's that 1MB storage used for?

  • I want w205 panel and battery

  • I want one cover of this phone

  • Have you one cover for motorola w205 because my phone is ten years old and need one cover

  • best phone ever still on my pocket

  • its realli nice..fr a business man

  • I am in a problem that my phone always dail last talking number. What is the cause of it

  • this is a very good set.It;s battery life is very good.

  • it does not have dual sim facilities &camera

  • ... and by "medium usage" i mean at least 50 messaging and 1 hour talking a day .

  • The only complications are : 1 - you have to turn on the delivery every time you want to sent a message (it's the last step after entering the receiver's phone number) 2 - sometimes the "yes" or "ok" is with the left upper key and sometimes with the righ upper key ! (its a realy stupid thing and you can't even get use to it) and don't expect it to work more than 2 years .

  • The Battery is good enough . It will last for 2 days with medium usage .

  • very complicated phone... not recommended...

  • reza wat abt the bayyery standby???? is it good?

  • No it dont have dual sim facility

  • Its a good phone at its price . it has good look and style . but the sound quality is not so good . most of times it work slowly specially in sms . but at the end it is worth the money you paying for it.

  • its keypad is really bad.but I think it's stylish and very strong !

  • yes u hv to turn on d delivery option every time

  • i bought this phone it's cheap but its sound is ugly when u speak.. also it merges messages.. it's crazy. i like its bettary life it stands for 5 days

  • Good set for avg user with minimum requirement,not the best when you look for extras.,

  • my sister bought it and lasts only for 2 weeks. very bad. please dont purchase it.

  • This is most solid mobile hand set . u can't believe it can't brake , if u thro it up to 1-2 floor. I love this phone. U can play with this cricket.

  • i have this mobile for a year now,.. man i must say its very worst for texting. The key pad is very hard and the most uncomfortable ever. Compared to other phones its slow. It not so user friendly either. The reception is good with low ringtone volume as the speaker is placed at the back so you got to place it head on. Battery backup is average no match for nokia. the screen view is ok and has the worst calculator ever. overall only good for making calls and nothing else and text messagers DONT EVEN THING ABOUT IT.

  • Is this phone have dual sim facility???

  • Yup... As far as I know, in US, most the the network works on 3G or 2.6G, so if you are using a 2G phone, it's almost certain that you might face difficulties...!

  • Dear team I would like to ask you.,, is that right that i use this mobile phone can not used in miami?My friends told me because 2 G.. Is that right? Please give me inform as soon as possible to my e-mail [email protected]

  • i still use this mobile. this is the best mobile trust me

  • problem with arabic language

  • yes everytime u send a message u have 2 turn on the delivery report it sux

  • help problem language

  • I have heard that in Motorola cell phones, you have to switch on the delivery report every time you send a text message. Is that true for this model also? Any user please clarify Thanx in advance.

  • this mobile phone is worth the money and is much more handly than its adversaries nokia mobiles .keypad is very smooth and its shape is also good.

  • gsm arena many motorola phones r available like w205,w215,w510.w180,but u still showing coming soon u guys r too much lazy .this phone is excellant

  • Compare to nokia 1600,1110i,1112. motorola w205 is very good in price & performance, i am using w205 since form 6 monthes it is working nice with out any problem. (Fools will think that nokia is the only mobile, but it is wrong.)

  • Good when compared to its counter parts in same level. It worths for ur money. A good BASIC set.

  • This W205 mobile is totally waste. you can not send /receive the sms images like nokia. and the batery alos too bad, every day u have to rechare even if u r not using the mobile, otherwise it will go off. Last but not least "IT IS NOT AN USER FRIENDLY MOBILE".

  • Hi All, Motorola w205 is a waste mobile Plz don't purchase it, I purchased this set about 4 months back the mobile is not worth for its price tag....

  • After two weeks , it started not working....................junkest mobile i have ever seen..........

  • ha ha ha ha status coming soon u r too late gsm arena .its available in india from last 5 months

  • the instrument appears very cute but very very fragile, the third day after purchase it was left on my table overnight and next morning most of the key panel eaten away by cockroaches and alas the company puts the blame on the user and claims one third of the cost of the handst for the key pad replacement. this is the indian scenario, better motorola make the key pads of biscuit dough next time , let the cockroaches at least be benifitted

  • not coming soon, but already avaliable! at least in Poland

  • cute phone. But,I didn't receive any picture message. caller group is not available

  • Motorola is copying Names now W205 ???

  • its cool kinda cell... 2 gud 4 1790/- bucks.. far better in looks n memory than nokia 1600. one more thing, it hs a better bateery backup... go 4 it... u hav got my word !!!

  • THIS PHONE IS GOOD AS COMPARE TO NOKIA 1600,1110i,1112. But There is a problem that buttens above call recive and reject are very tight.

  • Cute, for kids! why there is no way to connect it to a computer?

  • I got it for Rs. 1800 and I must say that the phone rocks. The keys are a little bit tight if you compare them with keys of nokia phones but within 3-4 days youll be comfortable with them. Its bang for the buck and with 700 SMSs, 500 contacts and sharper display this phone can give nokia 1600 (Rs. 1925) a run for its money.

  • what are the good features of this mobile? but it is cool!

  • this mobile is very nice but the keybad is small

  • just bought it an LOVE it hasnt got a cam but who cares the graphics are very clear an it comes with very good features :D

  • Just got this phone because my N72 went the way of the dodo and I can only get a new smartphone later this month. Impressions: For just Rs.1900 I guess its not bad...keypad is decent and I guess I'll get used to it. Has a decent set of features which reminds me of my old 3310 but usability is a nightmare especially the sms app. I'm used to some form of predictive text but boy did moto make a huge pain in the posterior. Using predictive text involves pressing the button as usual as on a nokia phone, but then you have to choose the right option by pressing left and right and finaly pressing select. I don't like 2 handed smsing.If all motorolla phones are like this, I think I'll stay clear in the future. Secondly, its very sparse and like most moto phones I've used, very counter intuitive. Options that one would expect in settings are in personalisation and some options just make no sense at all. Oh well, I only have to use it for a few more weeks. For the money, I recomend it, but I say in this price range, a nokia would be a better buy just for usability.

  • Anyone know where I can download an English manual for this?

  • release it in us soon. i am ready to buy it now

  • nice simple phone

  • Realy good phone, hope it comes out soon. This is the best phone as it has no camera. Motorola should make some more choices with no camera phones.

  • Excellent.Everything satisfactory.In official moto ad,they say it stores 750 sms,a huge msg storage is an absolute must. So its very good in watever it has, rather than having a cam which is vga, or a media player that sux, they have limited features but all r the best that can b there,absolute VALUE FOR MONEY

  • launch it quickly

  • Exactly the same as the C261 without the camera..............

  • hahaha true, finally, just a phone!!!

  • Finally! Just a phone!

  • The jack is for the "old fashioned" hands free earphone/speaker, since there's no bluetooth.

  • I think that headphone jack is there for radio, but its not listed here

  • why would this phone has 3.5mm headphone jack but bo memory card slot and no BT????????

  • yahoo im first to post,i hope this phone is going to be cheap because the features are very poor even �20 would be asking alot in this day and age.
