  • its good 2 use,it is stylish and slim , but it is not good wap browser and i cannot download media from the net ya!!!!!!!!! and i wanna know dat can it play videos & muzic can u help me GSM ARENA

  • i was using this mobile for the sake of applications lock, it`s realy very nice

  • This is one of the best and most reliable phone i've ever seen. Easy to use. Battery life is too good. Tough. Good sound quality. Using it from Last 2 yrs and no issues. I worked in a company where ,camera phones and any phone with Memmory card feature is not allowed, in such case it is the best one. I dropped it many times but it is very sturdy and reliable.

  • I have it for 2years now, in black which is like rubber coated and like it a lot, not like the cheap plastic you feel in pink or grey. -a bit slow when its full of text messages -flip is a bit shaky after the 1st year but works perfectly. -never missed any calls, only once lost signal maybe because of the provider and had to reboot, as i never turn it off. -Excellent phone incredible value for money ratio -great keyboard (typing even while driving dont miss a thing!) -ridiculously long battery life.Even when in 1/3 block or no-block/flashing it doesnt give up! -radio only with handsfree cord (as expected) -catchy games especially Crazy (Worms-like) -active flip toggle to answer on open ideal for voice messages and radio.

  • I am using this phone since last 1.5 years, i found good battery backup and reliable phone, but i am facing problem due to miss call alerts/vibration (anyone can help for resolve this issue?).

  • Bought this phone 1.5 years back. worked fine till nov-08. Started giving problem from then. Phone automatically switches off. While ringing suddenly switches off. Not even missed call record stored. Even after complete charging of battery, again it shows messages like "invalid battery", "low battery". Phone has become very unreliable. Taken to UCom- Authorised service shop. They also could not do anything. Thinking of replacing this phone!

  • Bought the pink one, it's really cute! very very cute! ^_^ though i find it hard to text. i use it only for the radio.

  • I've been using it only for 1.5 years, i seldom used it for calling, frequently used for texting. but i discovered just recently ( 4 days ago to be exact) that the earpiece is not working anymore, how come? I made a call and surprised the i can't hear the other line, try 2 more #s and the same, try another Sim cards, still can't hear the other line but they heard me. SIGHHHHHHH...

  • As the phone has no caller ID ability and does not have a missed call feature, a lot of we have cum to expect on cell phone is lost.

  • as mentioned earlier it is easy to customise the shortcuts and all that stuff the only complaint i've got it has no loudspeaker and also its ringer volume is low but it is tough phone,dropped it twice on ground and once in water and still working...

  • sexy phone-cheap and best its been more than 1 year that ive been using this phone bought it for rs.2600. excellent battery,superb clarity for radio and good keypad for typing messages it is the best phone if u want only radio for a phone.

  • sexy fone!!chic!too cool

  • Can you have more than 9 numbers for speed dailing and if so how would you asign 10 to a phone number in the phone book

  • I have this phone since May 2007. At first, I was very pleased. Good battery, radio, stylish. Quite customizable (shortcuts and stuff). After a few months, flip mechanism became a bit shaky. Not much, and condition has not worsened since. However, this phone can sometimes miss an alarm (phone does not ring at the set time). Alarm text can have only 2 lines of text (approx. 40 chars), and max 5 alarms. This is irritating as I use this a lot as a reminders for things to do, for example: @3:15pm do the laundry. Saving phone number from recently called list is painful (you have to enter name, you cannot chose from existing contacts). In the last few months, phone has started behaving unreliable in regard to receiving phone calls. That is, people cannot reach me sometimes (even though my phone is turned on), they get "subscriber unavailable". Restarting the phone "unlocks" it. Might be due to new operator. Anyway, I plan to change this phone soon.

  • its now abt 2yrs since i bot th phone.th experience has bn wonderful indeed. no complications so far.moto w220 hoye!!

  • i really love the pink phone it has fallen in water once i dried it in the sun n worked quite ok but the second time it fell in water, dead but i hope its not for good Help pliz!

  • Helo..ive been usin this phone 4 over 1 n half yrs now..its been pretty good ..but problems r startin to show up now..if u r r frequent messager then its not d phone..d centre button has literally been stuck..so it peels off over a period of time n causes trouble while messagin or even 4 opening d basic options..d side volume buttons r not workin now..otherwise the phone is ok..

  • Hi.... You cannot connect your w220 with pc becoz it dosen't have an option and as far as business card is concerned u could send it via txt message.

  • It's almost been 2 yrs since i bought d fone, d experience has ben really good( I mean wat else culd u ask from such a simple fone??) No prblms were there untill now....Now the FM reception do not work......every time i tune in to FM radio there is just no reception, although a harsh shrill noise can be heard...... There is no problem with the head set,(since many of u might point out !) the headset is just fine as calls heard via it are clean and clear......So just one problem nd dat too after 2 yrs of buying, quite genuine !

  • Hi, U can download Wallpapers and Ringtones from Airtel Live or Vodaphone Live in ur phone or from any other network operator who provides Gprs services. U can also download by data cable but data cable and drivers of this phone is very hard to find. Thanks.

  • hi...i hv bought dis fone few days b4 only..so don hv much knowledge abt its features....i just wanted to know whether i can download wallpapers n ringtones thr net..if yes den plz tel me how to do dat n frm wich device....thanxxxx

  • How can i connect to PC. or i want to send business card to another phone?

  • not bad but no mp3 playa ha ha ha ?????????????

  • I agree with your comments....Phone is meant for making and receiving calls.Why complicate mobiles with add ons and face problems! Joydeep Saha

  • Chineez languge in my motorola W220. How can I turn it to English

  • yes it is having the delivery reports option. GO to messgaes center>click options>message setup>text messages>then check the delivery path.

  • Can anyone tell me that Motorola W220 has delivery report or not? If yes then you have to switch it on for every message or it is like Nokia or Sony ericsson handsets?

  • It's a gr8 phone really.I have been using it for almost 2 years, i have not faced a single problem with it.The voice sound is good infact better then other set's that i have used.Radio works perfect and good sound also.Stylish amongst the flip phones.I have the one with black couler and ppl really ask about it when ever i am talking infront of sombody, but ofcourse they dont show any interest when they found about the specification's :).... BUT still it's a gr8 phone really......

  • Yes it happens with me too Any suggestions to solve this problem or should i get another one????????

  • This phne is marvellous!! i like it very much...hehehehahahaha

  • Well I'm not Kahled but I don't think you can download "the curve" ring style to other brands, or even other Motorolas. I have a Moto W377 and have been trying to get the "Tile" ringtone to it from a W220, had no luck. I Googled up "the curve" for you and looked for a while but nothing. The only way is possibly buy the Motorola W220 phone?

  • I know it was 2 years ago, but what a comment! My cousin owns this phone and he is not a cheapo, a weirdo or a "selfish businessman". I love the phone myself, nice and easy to use. Anyway, do they call phones a digital camera? Or maybe an MP3 player? Or what about a computer with net connection? NO! They call them phones, beacuse that's what they are! I have a perfectly fine iPod (which no mobile but the iPhone could ever match), an 8 Mega Pixel digital camera WITH video recording capabilities and a laptop with wireless net connection. So why would I want a phone with all that? I'd just be buying the same thing twice!

  • Louder than n95

  • Good phone

  • thnks i m searching this code from very time

  • Not a real choice. No speaker phone, no camera, boring games,slow operation, frequent crashing, but the structure (physical) design is good.

  • Hi Khaled, I don't if you can help, but this phone was given to us in Egypt and had a great ring tune, which my son says is called 'the curve' I'd love to download it someone for my boring E61 work phone. Can you any one help...? Thanks Robin

  • it is wondrful mobile i have ever used, it is the second time i bought the same mobile after i lost it :) when you use it you feel that you have a real mobile not a digital camera or play station ;) i like it soooooooooooooo much

  • *#**372* and call

  • hi it's a very great phone, and also has wonderful bettary pack up, sound quality is very clear.

  • It has very sexy looking. it have many good feactures. Ilove it very much.

  • Hai give many more information about this type of mobile.........................

  • Black edition is very aesthetic. Good phone with one major flaw. Txt'ing is terribly slow and the predictable txt is slow also. If you are using this phone primarily for text you should reconsider your other options.

  • I love my phone and take good care of it. I have pictures that I want to download and don't know how. How can I do thia>

  • plz i wanna know hw 2 use d browser, pls mail on d procedure 2tak.....dis is mah [email protected]

  • I am not finding the speaker phone, while i am talking without antennas

  • @Waleed: It's not particularly fast, but not really slow either. It's usable in the speed department.

  • it has spekerphone i bought it from tracphone

  • Hi, It's fast. Much better than Nokia. Thanks.

  • is this phone Slow like some Nokia slow? or is it fast like SE phones? I mean the scrolling n goin around the menu stuff

  • this phone does not have speakerphone ability.Now i am having this phone.

  • Does this phone have speakerphone ability? Somewhere it says it does, but the online user guide does not refer to it at all, apart from its hands free ability with a car kit. Do you know?

  • Very much third class services of Motorola in service centers, specially in my city Ludhiana, India. They even dont have stock of phone bodies, usb cables, ear phones etc. Whatever u ask they will say u have to demand that... Damn!!! Only one center in city so shame and pleaseeeee give usb drivers for this phone, I want to install wallapapers !!!

  • Hi, first Iwnt to ask Gsm Arena about that why are not they posting my comments for review ? Then I would like to say this phone is good in looks, ringtones are so louder but ear phone voice is not so loud. I want to have W220 usb drivers and modems. I have usb cable but dont have drivers and modems. If anyone have then please send me on my emial. My emial is [email protected]

  • its too foolish! i never get it actually i never know how to set my own picture as wallpaper but i enjoy its radio

  • i was attracted to a guy near hyderabad central handling this phone.

  • I like this phone a lot as it has radio ,flip model,affordable cost . affordable cost to a unemployee.flip model for superb convenience and style .radio to be tuned where ever we are.i couldnot purchase it .i love my institute.

  • Hi : Me too I try to send myself from other Cellphone some image to set it in my Motorola W220 as background, but i don't know how do it ! Would some of you help me ?

  • Nice phone W220(I'am from Sri Lanka using Dialog GSM Connection),It's phonebook is fairly good nd can store address, email adress etc. I've send emails also can read emails from yahoo mails.I have use this for three months. Other than usual,i use to access Wikipaedia mostly, read news from daily mirror newspaper (sri lanka) mobile site, also download wallpapers from tagtag.com,but I still failed to download ringtones.

  • good looking,basic fone ......

  • Great looking phone, but i agree with the comment about deleting messages - when deleting messages it goes back to the last message in the inbox, which means it takes aaaages if u let the txts build up! Also not so good for txting - keys tend to freeze which is really annoying!

  • I just got my Motorola W220 mobile, but when I turn it on, there is no menu text, only icons. So, I cannot use any menu options nor settings. I do not know what to do. Should I reset it? How do I do that? Please, help me! Thanx!

  • i had disappointed wth this model.. iam fond sending mesages but while deleting messages from the inbox(if the msg to delete is in middle)it comes to the 1st msg.. Moreover while hearing Fm radio if we press the answer key in the headset cable it will allow call(i.e ..the call is going for the 1st member in dialled calls list).. The very interesting in it si phone lock and application lock..its pretty amazing and more secure which we needed today..

  • This handset is very good. In this handset there many function like hot girls with Boor and Lond.

  • if you want mp3 and bluetooth so go and bye RAZR series. this hand set is for calling puepose only. You can Download Wallpapers And Ringtones By Using GPRS. ringtones are very clear.

  • I bought this phone to make calls and nothing else. This one is meant to make calls, looks good and costs almost nothing. Everything else is bonus. Was surprised to find that it had wap. People who need features can buy better costly phones.If you need a reliable folder phone which looks better than its cost to make calls, look no further. Actually the sound quality is better than my E61i.

  • MY father has one of this motorola phone but the same as a girl says, he is no happy with this phone because it has not anything, as mp3 and bluetooth.

  • It has no Data cabel for computer. So I could not load the ringtones in my handset.

  • i purchased this phone it have kool look but i needed mp3 and recorder the retailer told it have mp3 later i came to know tht it costs.i am not happy with this phone

  • pls send me modem seeting of motorola w220

  • am not happy with the handset

  • even though it doesnt hv a mp3 n cam...its a completely awsum fone...it has an amazing batery life...n m pretty much satisfied wid it...!!!!!!!

  • an awesome phone! meets all my needs! n looks cute too! :)

  • Hi guys its good looking but the battery is not so good

  • simple, good design, and have basic features!! battery power is great..that's what i'm looking for..without a cam is not a problem cause phones are not adviseable for capturing images.. it's for texting, and calling! i'm planning to buy this phone.

  • Hi everybody, i just made a little trade today, i traded a motorola v3 to a friend (just to borrow) and she gave me for letting her borrow the phone, a motorola w220, a motorola e770 (cracked screen) and a sony ericsson j200. was the trade worth it, i let her borrow a phone, in return, she gives me the phone back with 3 other ones. Anyways i thought it was good. the w220 however, is a little bit too ordinary. too basic.

  • Has anyone installed games on ur set.....plz tell the procedure. I got bored of these stock games........ thnx in advance

  • i think itz a fairly good phone...ive had it for 6 monthz nw and its the same as when i bought it...only the messaging takes some time..otherwise its a good phone with a stylish design

  • The Good: 1.Small and sleek; fits anywhere,stylish. 2.Does the basics well; very good call clarity comparable to any high end phone.I found signal reception equally good as well. 3.messaging takes time to get used to if u have used nokia/SE before. but once done i found iTAP euqlly good. 4.Sharp and loud sound good as i can hear it in a busy street. 5.Locking selected apps;very good.Cant understand y others r not doing it. The Bad- 1.Slow interface. 2.setting alarm time is in 24hr format only. 3.small screen;but bright, 4.No camera,music/loudspeaker for calls etc etc.. but definitely one should know it before buying and not blame the model later.

  • how to lock the key pad, pls telme the option........

  • if u wnt camera, mp3, memory slot, bluetooth, bigger screen, etc.. Motorola made a lot of models out there for you. W220 were simply made for simple people with simple needs for a fone at an affordable price.

  • Best budget fone w/ its stylish design. Best extra fone to use w/ its long lasting battery for calls and radio.

  • Re Loudspeaker: during calls no loudspeaker, but w/ radio on its definetly very LOUD speaker..

  • Re Charging: when the flip is closed, and battery icon stop blinking it means full charge.

  • Re Alarm: it should be set at a military time 24.00

  • hey i have recently bought the fone but i dont know how to go to the option for enabling loudspeaker can anyone help me.....plzzzzzzzzzz

  • Could have a bigger screen. Total rubberised outer cover would have been nicer. Otherwise a very compact sized phone with essential features at a good price.

  • does this fone has reminder ?

  • Essential: Does W220 have a (message) delivery report, like Nokia, SE & Samsung, or not? Please could some owner give me correct information on this? Purchase depends on it! Thanks!

  • to those have difficulties in setting ur alrm... here it is... dont put ur setting in auto adjust... just leave un check... put ur time setting in New York time and u can set ur alarm in the morning, put ur time setting in singapore when u like to Put ur alarm at pm... hope this may help those with w220... its just a matter of exploration... oki doki!

  • I really like this phone, This Phone has a Radio to keep me on task at course

  • It is nice in looking easy to carry along but also complicated in using other wise it's cool. I love it .

  • Hey its a cool mobile nice features just want to know how to download ringtones. Overall nice phone and cheap

  • It's a nice phone but just dat Motorola shd av put mp3 player on it.Thumbs up Motorola.

  • This phone is the best one in price & handeling.only motorolla.

  • can any one there please tell me if the w220 has a feature to show me when charging is complete, or simply, for how long should i charge it?

  • hey dis fone luks gud but can ne1 tell me hw many msgs can it store ???

  • iam the onw who post about sound and battery... setting of alarms seems to be bad... hard to set... no am and even fm...

  • if yu are looking for a phone with a GOOD SOUND... its better to buy W220... sounds graet... u can text and explore ur cellphone even listening to ur favorite station at FM... the battery life is great, it ast at most up to four days... if u are going to listen to radio in a long day travel... w220 can give u the power... i'd tried to listen from radio from 8 am - 5 pm straight... my ear seems to be painful after a while... sounds graet... battery is powerful

  • The design is awesome...Functionality as well...

  • i m using these phone from last 10 months .no problem at all . f.m. sound is owesome and just love w22o black .its best in this range .

  • Does this phone set have Voice Mail feature?

  • hi the phone is good, i accept the call by opening the flap of the phn can any1 pls tell me how do i disconnect the incoming call without opening the flap of the phn reards Hitesh

  • i've got the w220 full black version, this phone design is awesome...i got it for a backup phone to talk and sms...but the design is so gorgeous...i still have a nokia 6300 but everyone ask about the w220 when they see it..it looks much better then a moto razr or any moto phone...just it lacks of function but for talk and sms this is the deal...very stylish...battery life=5days +radio that sounds great! for 10$ this phone is a goldmine ;))

  • What is this 30 minute "warning" of lost call or SMS you're talking about? Is there a way to disable it? Kinda unpractical if you recieve a SMS while in the middle of class :) Also, how slow is the text messaging? Is it acceptable, as in slightly slower than usual, or very very slow and annoying?

  • Fone is gud but i do agree with most people that it is very slow especially sms's.To remove the network thing all u have to do is go to messages then settings, then select info srvc setup, then turn off in the service section.

  • Can someone please help me to get rid of the thing which displays the network place.Its irritating me

  • very nice phone and battery life...

  • I Just Got It As My Birthday Gift.It's A Basic Phone.....Like A Headstart.The Battery Life Is Just Amazing.I Charge It Once In 3 Days.The FM Radio Sound Quality IS Quite Good.

  • Good phone for the price, but basic features like alarm doesn't function. You can't set alarm , There is no option for AM/PM and it alarm doesn't work most of the times. Also the 30minute beep of missed calls and msgs are annnoying. There is no option to disable either. + Stylish, good fm reception - Alarm, 30minute beeper, bad ringtones Motorola should think of enhancing the basic features.

  • I really need help with this phone, i have a mini usb connection and it fits fine but i need some sort of software so i can get pictures from my phone to my pc.anyone know of any free ones?PLEASE HELP!

  • Shawn: What sort of performance are you talking about? Menu navigation is slow, writting sms'es is even slower, and battery lasts only for 3 days like u said. For exactly the same money you can get an SE which has none of those problems :)

  • moto w220 has looks,style n efficeiency.I'm using dis fone n im quite happy wid its performance.The battery life is just amazing n i charge it just once in 3 days.The only thing tht dis fone lags behind is mp3 player n camera..but as it is i dont listen 2 music on fone..best for those looking for something less expensive with the basic need of making calls!!and lastly the fm is really user friendly

  • o thx friend.i was going 2 purchase dis 1,but after reading urz viewz i will take some other bcz it has bettry prob .thx 2 worn me....

  • This phone has goot the looks... and probably that would be it. 1. Menu navigation painfully slow. 2. Writting sms is so slow, that by the time i wrote 1 full sms (160 characters) my gf using some older SE was able to write and send linked (more that 160 characters) sms... 3. >>Radio

  • Is this phone worth buying? I hope texting isn't difficult unlike W375. I was only going for W375 coz it had a camera but now the reviews have made me think otherwise. Can anyone please tell me whether I should go for this phone. It doesn't have speakerphone option which I'll miss. But its look is something that has impressed me. Or would anyone suggest me any other phone which is in the affordable range (round about this phone). The phone should have FM radio (and a colored screen) and preferably a camera (not compulsory though). Suggest anything other than Nokia 2310 coz it doesnt have a colored screen. I have a Nokia 2300 so you can visualize how bored I am with the white screen and nothing other than a radio in it!!

  • I had recently puchased this mobile. I feel that this is a gud model according to its rate.

  • yea, i bought this fone maybe last years xmas and its been good to me, so many good times...but just recently its blocked me out of everything!! i took it to my supplier and they told me it would cost me $160 to get it repaired!!! damn. note to everyone out there: do not put sercurity locks on your msgs, phnebook etc...

  • bought it last week...and found the battery good lasted for exactly 55hrs. the ear phone's not so attractive..on the whole its just a ordinary phone...with good looks and a FM radio.

  • Please tell me a good phone accept this one. please ok.

  • i just changed my Nokia 3250 for this phone, just because of its looks. and yeah it does have cool features as well, according to price tag it carries. Just a few glitches, like u can't delete a message directly, or i can't find a way for sim numbers not to appear in phonebook, but may be its my fault :)

  • wonderful phone,planning to buy new one

  • very very Cool design and very good Talk time Battery, but the only thing I miss is PC connectivity.

  • it seems that moto is recycling the razr look ...but its cool ...worthy of a camera though

  • My first phone. It has every feature I need. Except PC connectivity. But still- I like it. I have the pure black one. Cool design. I just love it.

  • Cool design, all the most needed features are there. Maybe the only thing I miss is PC connectivity.

  • I just got this phone yesterday. I love it. But why is the screen so loose? And I cant seem to go online with it. But nonetheless, this phone is the best. simple and cute.

  • I want to in which area i am?? is that option is availabe??

  • there is no mp3 ring tone in these mob. and its battery is loose even on touch power is getting cut off

  • I got this mobile six months there is no screensaver in this mobile and more thing i am always getting http error forbidden when connecting to wap sites plz help me how to avoid this error David

  • I got this W220 mobile before six months i always found Http error on connecting with wap what i have to do plz help me Sanjay

  • Hi Haydee!!! To connect w220 to pc you need UST5DU3.2 That is Ultra Super Thin 5th Dimensional Usb 3.2... ... U cannot connect this to PC, there is no Infra Red, Bluetooth, Serial or USB connectivity for this phone. If you want to send something, the only option is to use GPRS (WAP) and some free site like: - there you can upload a file from your PC, you will be given ID and 4 digin passkey, in your w220 Web Browser GoTo euploader.com enter 4 digit ID and 4 digit passkey, and voila you can download the file you have just uploaded. :) Cheers.

  • how to send tex messages

  • Got this phone few days back and its really awsome and very affordable. i tried to sign in to my hotmail and the page sort of dint open up. does anyone know he wap version of hotmail.com? cant check my mails :(

  • a good phone within budget and a good battery back up.

  • It certanly lights up vhen you receive a call...i am talking about the ext display.it has 3 function.... incoming call, sms, low battery.

  • Hi everybody!!! I need to know how to connect the phone to PC

  • There's no speaker function and this is confirmed by Motorola. I wrote in to ask last year.

  • oh yeah btw, does anyone know if this has a speakerphone option or not? on some websites it says it has while here its not mentioned, kind of confused. Need a second set that has long battery life + speakerphone and no gimmics, got my p990 for that. so would this be a good choice?

  • hahah, thats one of the best posts ive ever read, peel off sticker. Why would any brand create a device thats 'faking' an external screen. what else do u expect than to get a response like the one lukas posted, serves u right. I havent laughed this hard for a while.

  • E... mp3? 500kb user memory, no memory slot, where would you put mp3? What sort of question is that? Check specifications...

  • it is a good phone.but i want to ask can i play mp3 ringtones in it.plz tell me.

  • lol hhahah stupid lires the external display is real n proper.. its not a sticker i got this cell phone.. n it work fine.. its just a simple phone to call n send sms with little styling..

  • Yes it is just a peel-off sticker. Motorola is trying to cut on expenses so what they come up with is: when you get a message you peel off a message sticker stick it at the front, then close mobile and act surprised that you have received an sms, then you take off sticker and hide it in your pocket...

  • i wanted to ask a question about the external display of this cell... a friend of mine told me that it dosent have one.. rather this is just a sticker???... can any of the people who've used this fone, or own one tell me, does this have an external display.. (by external display i mean the battery display, and teh message display we see in teh pix)

  • Brought my w220 on 2 july as my back up phone. it's a cool phone with a cool design.i like it very much.simply yet stylish.motorola w220

  • the design quite attractive, the ringtones i love. But settings! the problem is settings. Why can't I get my mms activation? that's my problem.

  • Broke down after 2 months use, took six weeks to fix and then promptly broke down again with the same fault, that is it would not charge the battery and consequently completely died. Not very happy.

  • hey you must contac your company, for the configuration.. and mp3 u can donwload mp3, web pag motorola.

  • I have seen in this site that we can have MP3 ringtones. But I dont find any option for that in Motorola W220 handset. If anyone knows about it kindly tell me. The mobile is too gud to use. Compact and user-friendly.

  • i cant see mz mms tell me wat shood i do

  • i have recently buy this set......dis is very gud set...everyone should buy disss...no probs

  • its a good fone and very handy!! and u gt a fm radio so cool when ur on the move all the time!:)

  • I juz bought the hp yesterday for RM250.00 (black). The set came in box inclusive of the headset+charger+manual n crystal casing (courtesy of the lady in the hp shop!) to protect the hp from scratch. I thoroughly read all the post before buying it n my feeling+overall view about it now is this hp is ok! Being a Nokia n Motorola user before, i dont find any difficulties in using it. Plus, i m not into cam, bluetooth, infrared, MP3 n USB equipped hp! As long as u wanna talk n text, W220 is the answer. Stop bugging about anything else, the look is creatively designed n the performance is on par with any other hp with the same price here in Malaysia. Sure, there is a lot more cheaper hp with a lot more function in the market, but for me i dont wanna use a colourful hp n with the MP3 sound which is annoying (u find that attractive? duh... grow up!) Snapping picture with cam phone? buy a digital cam then! Listening to good music? then what the heck is radio, iPOD, DVD n PC invented for? All in all, W220 is somehow giving u the look of a good image! Suitable for everybody!

  • gotta love it though, it is quite small and stylish although the screen couldve been a lot bigger.but please can someone tell me whether it is possible to get the mxit application on this phone cause ive been tryin and trying but it doesnt seem to respond to my need.a lot of people have told me that it can load these types of applications but i have absolutely no idea how i can go about it though.HELP!

  • I got this phone for less than US$50, and on that basis alone, this is a good phone. You have your basic functions of SMS, call and WAP. Just don't compare it to it's RAZR big brothers and you won't be disappointed. The black one looks and feels like the black MacBook. Very cool.

  • according to my personnel point of view it has execitive look.just im using s/e 608i.but Im going to purchese W220 cos it has good apperance.and good enough 4 money.

  • (-)screen is small, slow texting (+)sleek, small, cute BASIC PHONE.

  • this phone has alot of problems plz do NOT BUY DIS PHONE! It is very slow too u should buy the SE K310 instead

  • i bought it few months ago n lost it after a month. mine is d all black one, for the outter design i would give 8/10. but, inside still have more rooms for stretching the screen. it looks exclusive. btw, i am broke dats y i bought dis phone, dis is d bez dat i can get for d money i got.. bought it for rm280 only. now is cheaper la.. pros: small lightweight d materials is unique, n it wont scratch (for all black version - material is somewhat rubbery n smooth, nice 2 touch) good FM. cons: screen is too small graphics are not good - quite poor d messaging part (weird n makes replying msgs a hard task)

  • it automatically "deny the call" when u just close the flap....so beware of tht...

  • is this phone a triband? will it work in the US?

  • this one looks cute, but i dont think htis could last atleast two years my cousin has a moto c665 and it doesnt last long,

  • is this phone really dont have a camera?

  • I bought W220 on 3rd april 2007.it is a nice looking phone under budget.it has got nice 65Kbt color display of resolution 128X128 pixel,FM,a good headset.The thing that I am not satisfied about it is it doesnot play mp3 and USB port.If it include these feature with slight increase in its value it will certainly hit the market.

  • hey..... 4 all those guys who wnt gprs settings contact ure service provider..... noe 2 the fone... awesome simply awesome .....its probably the best fone in its prce range ...... if thre memory had been just a little higher .....but still nice phone..... great gprs capabilties ... and superb icons on its front ......

  • I dont understand why people need everything in $80 cell phone, no mp3 no bluetooth no infra no 3g if you need all this then spend more money and get something with all options, i am using k800i with all features bought this yesterday as secondary phone and this is great in this price with cool sleek look, for those who interested to buy a less budget or as a secondary phone dont even think .. get it

  • is it possible to change the cover of the phone or some how re paint it? i have a motorola w220 but it just has s few scraches on it, anyone has any ideas

  • i cant no how to set the assign tone for mypersonal contact numbers

  • simply superb...........

  • I am not finding screensaver option, no good ringtones. No port no idea how to download Pictures and ringtones.

  • Disadvantages: -Slow texting, strange predictive text system -Very basic functions, ie no camera nor MP3 capabilities -Bad ringtones -Small screen Advantages: -Relatively light -Sleek design -Effective FM radio In summary, quite a good buy as long as u don't demand much on functions. A basic phone with a coloured screen and FM radio.

  • perfect phone, sexy, very easy to use, good no nonsense features, and most of all reliable! a must by as an everyday use phone or even a back up phone. am very pleased with this purchase!

  • well i liked the set. but cant activate GPRRS. please send them on my address

  • hey plz tell me more about this cell phone bcoz i want to buy this phone..tell me all the disadvantage of this cell phone..thank u plz anyone inform me on this address below my email address is [email protected]

  • A good phone yes, but why does the message in box look like the out box? I can't just access my message unless someone sends me a new sms.This is awkward and it would be best if someone can assist me get the phone to give me the value for my money please.

  • great piece of art i like the design and phones clarity

  • need help phone will not send mms.does any body how to set up mms

  • Excellent phone, wish it had mp3 functions, but for RM 250( 50-60 Euros), one cannot really complain eh? the joint seems strong thoughy inclosed position there is little free play, ( .5-.7 mm)and the black model is rubberised. ( is the silver rubberised too( bound to get dirty)... scratched it though, the rubber is a little soft.

  • In response I did not expect much from this phone as it was so cheap but for it's price (�70) I DID expect mp3 ringtones as it says here on this website "mp3-like". The only ringtones you can get are polyphonic. I have every right to be dissapointed and I do have a good knowledge of technology thank you very much.

  • I have tried several times to setup my gprs/mms but I haven't succeeded to receive mms and send . Can anyone help me to get the correct settings.

  • I have tried so many time to set my gprs/mms settings but im still failing to receive mms and send . can anyone help me to get the settings.

  • i just wanna give a nice comment for those who's looking for a few features such like bluetooth, infrared, mp3, etc on this phone. For you to must know: what kinda things that u expected from a low end phone in a reasonable price and very stylish look? (i don't say it good price but reasonable) don't you ppl have a knowledge in techno or sumthing?

  • excellent value for money. basic, well built. got text and call and battery indicator on front screen so you don't need to open the phone to check for messaages. I also like the security on this phone. You can lock the whole phone, needs a PIN to answer or use the phone, or you can lock an individual application, e.g. SMS, Phonebook etc. slim & light to carry. Radio is outstanding, you can make the radia play on the external speaker, use it in hotels when I go away on business.....

  • Hmm .. I have tryed so many time to set my gprs/mms settings but im still failed to receive mms and send . can anywan help me to get the motorola center address at kl malaysia.

  • Yes this phone is fm radio and has a speaker and no you cannot get any real-tones on it just polyphonic. u can download those crappy sounding amr files but you can't select them as a ringtone. Its really annoying.

  • i plan to buy this phone. is fm radio is sterio or not?

  • ppxC, You can store up to 250 SMS, as well as available SIM-card memory. In the Message Settings you can setup the way memory will get filled.

  • Got a W220 yesterday. Its well built, Great looks, good reception with clarity and good battery. Been making calls & SMS testing them. This is one very good mobile phone. Check the price before criticizing. You want Camera, MP3, Washing Machine etc in you phone. You got to pay more.

  • does anyone know how many messages this phone can store

  • wat do dey mean by mp3like? dos it means it support mp3files fo ringtones?? any suggestions?

  • how'd you download ring tone and picture if when you dont have usb bluetooth and irda.. with gprs??

  • cool phone ...i just had it recently and it is simply an amazin experience.

  • very good phone...am proud i have one.the sound quality of the radio ste is just amazing.i think if you compare it with th v3i ...it simply superb.thank you moto

  • I recently bought the w220. If I ignore an sms how do I view the details later? An icon appears on the display indicating an unread message, but I am not able to view old messages when I go to the Inbox. How do I do it?

  • These may look fine and solidly constructed but the shop display samples I looked at had loose hinges one so poor that it didn't close properly. Of course when they are brand new the hinges are fine!

  • a good cell....a m using it............a very user frindly.........

  • no doubt its good looking set nice solid construction equisite radio sound though its not very high in speaker mode but apart from its design and radio every other things is below standard even being an economy class mobile.

  • can any one tell me how to download mp3 tones. mail me @ [email protected]

  • An awesome phone......just like i wanted it...AND NO LOSE HINGES!!!!! Does any1 know how to upload mp3 songs into the phone(ie..,IF WE CAN)

  • I've been to severla shops to look at this phone (to buy actually) out of seven I've seen five have loose hinges. has any had this phone for a while and having trouble with the hinge (IE is it loose). It's put me off buying one.

  • If you want cheap but gr8 phone than this is it.i read some of the opnion where ppl r complaining about this phone such as no cam no usb etc..for them my msg would be "if you ppl want a motorzr type mobile with the price of a basic phone thn this is not for you,try some cheaper chaina made phone"

  • where is the interface to the mp3 music

  • Very nice phone.I spoke to salesman and they informed to upload sound or pciture can bring to motorola centre.Any idea on this?email me [email protected]

  • I bought this phone a few days ago. I really love it. The price is very cheap, and it's very stylish. I've always been a Motorola fan, and to get this kind of phone at this price, it's simply amazing. The interface is typical Motorola, which IMHO is better than Nokia. I really can't believe some of the comment I've read here. Come on, if you want more, then pay more. Don't expect sky for something you pay peanut for.

  • WHAT a set yaar !!! i like it very much its nice set in cheap cost

  • i found this phone very handy and its black variant has a very good look. One problem with the handling is that, both received and missed calls come in the same list which is quite cumbersome. In all, a good flip phone for a good price.

  • to KRSNA and VIKAS i can not download any software for this phone .what i have to do.

  • fantastic! but memory is too low. in accordance with price it's okay.

  • advantage: cheap phone for a motorolla handset / simple disadvantage: no camera

  • nice phone

  • The phone is OK but not great. Have had it for a month now. Nice FM Radio and battery life. But that's about it. VERY low memory, tiny screen, very few features. The browser freezes once in a while. But it's a nice cheap phone...I'm switching to Samsung E370 soon :-)

  • its a good fone but i wanna ask that is there any simple data cable for w220.............as it is for c261 and others........?????????

  • An amazing phone buy it...its really gud for its class

  • I managed to download Midi and Jpegs from the wap. But when i tried to click on an *.amr file, it didnt work. How can i download .amr files?

  • This phone is rubbish if you like good phone features. No mp3 ringtones and those really bad sounding .amr sounds can't even be selected as ringtones. No infrared, no usb cable. And for some reason even though the phone comes with two .wav ringtones it does not accept .wav files to be downloaded. Its just weird. The good points are as follows: FM Radio Good text message memory. Stylish looking. Don't get this phone!

  • This fone is a load of rubbish Im sorry I bought it. I changed a siemens fone for this and I wish I could go back to it. Dont buy from Carfone warehouse they only let you exchange once. I am left with this rubbish now. I am a fast texter and carn't with this and the buttons are far to close together. It gets very dirty aswell,you have to keep wiping it when you have used it especially for girls that wear makeup.

  • its a wonderful cell. i m usig it from the past 1 month. i love it. the missing features are bluetooth and camera..........u should add in it.

  • I got this phone with free offer of Tata Indicom walky in Vivek showroom. I am using this phone for 2 months and till now everything is ok. Total number of Missed /received calls looks like 40 or more which is more than advertised. they are clubbed together, the received calls are being marked with Right key in front of name/number. In case of missed calls/sms , the mobile keeps beeping every 3-4 minutes. Features I liked are Customization of keyboard short cuts, Great battery life, fantastic auto-scanning and manual FM radio , Great LCD display and sms storage space, customizable Alarm clock and contrast, 100% dustproof great keyboard , Slim design and sound clarity. Please Note that the phone book just 600 phone numbers so if one uses 4 phone numbers per name entry then total phone book entry would be just 150. The User Interface is same as Motorola C168 model.This foldable model is very helful if one wants No gap between ear and mouth for more clarity.and also in workplaces where no camera phone is allowed.

  • Can it saves .midi or .amr that are on the web?

  • what's airtel live someone of you was talking about?

  • Hi how can i put files (jpeg, ringtones) on it? And can i put AMR on it? And listen to it?

  • Can anyone tell me, i've just bought this phone and when i receive messages they arn't storing in the inbox. The inbox is completely empty so i can't reread them. Once i've read them they are gone. Same goes for sending them, i can send them and although the "save sent messages" feature is on, it isn't showing them in the outbox. I'm very dissappointed as i think the phone is faulty. Can someone tell me whats happened?? Please help..

  • i bought this phone only 2 days ago and now finding that whenever i call or vice versa, i hear some thing very cheap, a loud echo. and its really sad that its just third day for me with this phone. Overall the phone is very stylish with some very good features.

  • To Vikas: I sent an email to Moto helpline for AMR clarifications few days ago. I received the email now stated that AMR can be played BUT it CANNOT be used as RINGTONE on W220! How ironic!!! It plays yet it cannot be used as a ringtone. I hope they release a second software patch for this major flaw in software design.

  • Regarding Contacts storage: The W220 mobile supports storage for multiple Information per contact provided you store the contact using Phone memory instead of Sim memory which only supports 1 number. Procedure of storing multiple information on a contact: 1. Store a new contact using the Phone memory.(with name & number) OR Copy current contact to Phone memory(Move Original). 2. Once created OR moved to Phone memory, view the contact under �Entry Details�. 3. Press �Option� and select �New�. 4. Select �Add Number� for additional new numbers for Mobile, Office, Fax, Home OR �Add Text� for information related like Note, Email id, Postal address & Web address. 5. Then Save the changes you created. That�s it, now you have stored multiple info for a single contact. Note: The �first created� number in the contact will be the default when you dial the contact on your mobile regardless of multiple numbers stored per contact.

  • i m going to buy it, what ur opinion i should buy it or not.

  • @KRSNA, 2007-01-24 10:43 2SNe yes u r right .... AMR file format is comparitivly 10-15 times smaller than mp3 because of lower bitrate playing and frqency of music file.... also phone has approx. 634 kb memory... out of which approx. 120 kb is taken by the software .... the processing power of the phone is also too slow ... so it is difficult or impossible to play large bitrate files like mp3 in the phone media player ..... thats why.... they hav given a small memory in the phone .....it does not support pc connectivity ... u hav to transfer the file via GPRS.... thats the only solution......

  • Anybody please guide me how to connect to net, what are the internet options available in this phone.

  • hi, i bought w220 yesterday, its very difficult to navigate,saving a number,storing personel information is not working.its very confusing set.Any body guide what is imelody, how to download it. shall we listen mp3 like songs in this set. main draw back is no loud speaker.

  • i bought a w220 and i think its a gr8 fone.u get a folder fone with color display and above all fm.and this fone is cheap too.but one prob will someone tell me how to turn on the area info on this set??

  • guyz... i`ve been using this fone for the last 14 days..its the best fone i`ve used till date... full marks to motorola for giving such an awesome fone with fantastic basic features... 1) great battery life... 2) huge sms and phone book memory.... 3) very easy to use.... 4) fm radio at its best i dont think no other company has launched sucha an awesome phone at this cost....

  • To set date/time you need to go to Time and date under settings/intial setup and then untick 'auto adjustment' then the date/time change buttons appear. Took me a while to figure it out!

  • With Reference from Joe @ 2006-12-25 23:23 & Vikas @ 2006-12-25 10:40 regarding AMR format (MP3 Like). I just found out that the AMR files are approximately 10 times smaller than MP3 encoded files. Therefore I believe that 500KB of memory was given based on compact AMR tones in mind. However, unfortunately no one so far has posted on this forum that AMR tone can be used as ringtone. Only Vikas has stated that the mobile rejected AMR for ringtone setting. I hope Vikas can explain or tell in detail about the error when using AMR file as ringtone. Since connectivity is not a feature in this mobile to test, the only way to get an AMR tone in is by GPRS or by MMS. I will transfer an AMR tone by 1 week�s time for R&D. Hope my theory works. Till then, if anyone has any bright ideas; just post it here! P.S. Here is the link for converting MP3 files to AMR files. AMR files are not easily playable in many audio players like Winamp for e.g. Mobile Media Converter Program free @ WWW.MIKSOFT.NET

  • So you would need to open the phone to see who is ringing and then keep it open if you do not want to answer... that's strange...

  • I have Motorola W220, the phone is working good but the main problem is in this phone, when i go in roaming areas the phone is automaticly goes in other network (after selected manual fuction). But this condition made be in Automatic Fuction. So why select other network in manual condition. I pay for this service to SIM service provider.

  • Can i use data cable on this phone? And i think phone is good just you want perfect cheap phone sorry good are 5 times expensive than this, if you don't like it just don't buy it.

  • i really like its design i was gonna buy it but according to u ppl its speed is slow specially in sms area and it looks like a toy is confussing me aloooot ,,,plzzzzz help and wht about its display,,,is it good,,,colourful i mean,,,???plz,,,,tell

  • I have checked the manual, there isn't any option to disable this "automatic hangup function". This is my major disappointment about w220, otherwise it would be a nice phone.

  • Are you guys sure that it cannot be turned off that you 'deny call' when you fold down the phone and not answer the call? On most phones it can be turned off so you can fold down the phone without inpolitely rejecting the call.

  • it'a a lovely phone...so what if it ,misses camer & bluetooth.......there is 1 prob..whichever ringtone i download from airtel live -- it is saved but the damn thing doesn't work.pls reply as soon as possible

  • guys belive me i lost 725 bucks due to this "kachra" phone.....i purchased it cause of its low price and gud built.....next day whn i was taking my bath....i got 6 miss calls but guys u know when i tried to see who made me miss calls i got shocked to see the call records......thousands years backward technology.....u cn nt even see who gave u hw many miss calls u cn just see the total miss calls regardless the detailing of callers.... i tried to adjust with problem but my dreams were shattered again whn i come to that whn phone is ringing nd i open the flip to see the caller nd wanted to pretend tht i m away frm phone nd naturally without answering i just closed the flip,to my worst nightmare this piece of shi.... auto cut the callers party call impolitely......i seached the whole menu to change this option.......but later i contacted the dealer.....he told me tht this is the best thing in this phone, u dont need to cut the call it auto cut the phone when u just make flip close...... i torn out my several hair, i just tht piece of shi.. nd he refunded me 3200 bucks which i purchased for 3925... this costs me 725 for two dys use.... i later came to know tht same problem prevails in v3i nd other similar range phones..... its like a tie up between us govt nd motorola to give india nd other developing countries worst out of worst technology.......

  • hey guys how do we download games on moto w220> it isnt working

  • For 4000 rupees u wont get anything better than this..........

  • hai ... this is a wonderful phone.... it is definitely worth the -money

  • I know that when you have a missed call or missed SMS the lights on the front of the phone flash for half an hour. But does it make a noise, eg every 5 minutes, to audibly alert you to a missed call / message?

  • is verry cool i have one and i am verry happy

  • Please don't go by any such kiddish comments who compare this mobile with any other costly mobile- check your budget & requirements-this mobile is awesome in rs.4000 with basic functions(radio+colour display+foldable+etc) Hats off to Motorola for such a creativity.

  • i have a motorola w220 can you send me some melody codes to fill my empty ones or you can give me a site were i can get them. thank you.

  • wht is t9 and is it possible we can use data cable in this phone

  • Is Motorola W220 a tri-band or not? Please reply as soon as possible.. thank you!

  • to set area info go to messages options then info service setup then make the service on then go to active channels and put the number of area info most likely 50 then in quik view option make it the same number 50 then press done and it's done dear!

  • hey people, i wanted to buy this phone for my mom. i think its a damn good phone for just 4000. i wanted to know if the script is a readable size. cause most sony ericsson phones have pretty small script which would be difficult for a person with weak eyesight to read. thanks in advance.

  • Why do people insist on comparing entry-level phones with handsets two or three times the value? The W220 is a great little no-frills handset. No camera, no bluetooth, no mp3. So what. If you brand this handset 'crap' because you can't pimp it out with graphics and ringtones, you clearly have too much time on your hands. This is a functional, robust, affordable handset. Woolworths are currently doing these on Orange PAYG for �30, you cannot diss this phone at that price.

  • help needed: can nebody tell me how to set AREA INFO on w220

  • Great phone, good price, great shape, very light, long battery life. The display in front showing incoming SMS, missed calls and battery charge status is also just great! This is a phone 80% of your friends will tell you that it is an expensive phone and that you are cheating by telling them that you bought it for less than $150. And for those who want the other features, how many times do you use the other features?

  • they cost me as Rs. 2999/- and while buying the costed me as Rs. 3850/- so dont buy this they are cheating

  • I need to know what is T9

  • This phone does what it is designed to do. It is one of the best phones i've owned, so what if it lacks blootooth and camera. It has fm radio what has great quality. I got this phone and i knew what i was getting. As i've said one of the best phones on the market to date. So you know design i gave 8, features, 10, performance 10. More or less a perfect phone.

  • please assist becouse every time i try to download aringtone or screensaver to my phone it brings a message that operation not supported.

  • can nebody tell me how to set AREA INFO on w220.

  • Motorola has gone CRAP all there new fones are slim and there all the same and this is a RIPPOFF dont buy it you can get a brand name fone with a camera for the same price and it wont be with telstra which will be good and evan from an erly black and white motorola there design has not changed. Dont buy this fone just because it has a fm radio (it sucks anyway)BUY A PROPER FONE.

  • Can Any one tell me that how we can set Date and time in this set :( plz

  • nice phone, simple cheap, do what a phone supposed to do... comunicate and send sms. Nice singal recivement (could be my company) overall its a nice simple phone with great style!

  • go for the BLACK one. it looks sexy and has a non-slippery type rubber coating on the body and a pleasure to hold and use.

  • What can I say about this phone! Well one thing I must admit that, the difference in between price and value is not that much. I mean in this cheap price it’s the best stylish cell. Its design, its ringer, its function are all are faultless and also the battery life it’s superb. But I didn’t like the Black cover in the top side of the casing, which catches too much finger print. But over all it’s a great phone compare with to its price.

  • i just bought this mobile ... actually i didnt saw it before buying, i saw its pictures and comments ... who says it looks like razr ... r u guys nuts ... its just crap TOTALLY CRAP !!! who says it has fine finishing ... just look at the annoying plastic looks like a toy mobile ... middle shining black finishing is also annoying every time u have to clean it coz it gets finger prints on it... it looks like a toy rather than a cell phone ... ANNOYING !!! display is annoying ... too small ... ringtones 32 channels (mp3-alike) THIS IS BULL SH** ... nokias 16 channels ringtones r far much better than this... DONT BUY THIS CRAP UNTIL U SEE IT IN UR OWN HANDS ... DONT GO FOR IT ... i had to chose between nokia 6060 and motorola w220 ... i went nuts and bought this CRAP ... man !!! nokia 6060 is far much better FAR MUCH BETTER ... i dont know why motorola produced this CRAP CELL PHONE ... believe me its totally CRAP ... even then if u want to buy it just take a look at it ... dont go with the pictures and comments, see it with ur own eyes, take it in ur own hands, then u will know how it is ... its totally CRAP

  • Please Help! I just bought this phone last week and love it. But there is a problem about answering a call, when i open the flip phone for seeing who is calling, If i decide to ignore this call, how can i close my flip phone up without reject the connection(This will terminate the ringing on other side impolitely). I would like to let the caller keep hearing the phone ring and pretend i am away from the phone. One way is I have to hold my phone and wait for the caller hang up. Is there any way around this? Thanks.

  • looking slim nice and handy, but it makes sound when flip is opened/closed

  • the phone looks cool. i got a black one and the ringtones are certainly loud that u dont need to use the vibrator in noisy places. on the flip side the smsing is really slow and sending too is damn slow.

  • Can this phone realy hold mxit? Can anyone help me pleeeese

  • All right, instead of a ridiculous FM device, was to difficult to put a Bluetooth? Did a second display, even monocromathic to expensive? Are disegners on strike or just lack of functionality concepts? The V191 at least has a secondary display...

  • tell u secret of starting fm without ear piece. *#**372# dial it enjoy fm with bad reception

  • HI, I have search tons of phones to figure out what to by. Finlay I saw this phone and Its looks really cool and have a professional look too. U know what, I didn't bought it yet. Tomorrow I'll going to buy it. I wish it work as the way I want.

  • One of the best phone in the market for less that Rs 3600. Pros: Awesome FM quality. Call Quality. Network. Cons: Unable to make message groups. (May be I could not figure out the way)

  • The ultimate phone on the earth for such an amount. Too good. mast maja madi.

  • of course it gets connected to the in coming calls when you flip open.

  • i had silver/black version which i sold and bought total black version. the looks are great as much as the phone features which is more than enough for day to day use. battery life is more than acceptable.

  • Let phones be phones and cameras be cameras. After all you can not have a very high quality camera on a phone, the image sizes will slow the phone processing speeds to snail pace. If you want a phone then this is a true phone. The only downside is the screen size and lack of bluetooth, the flap has all the space for an increased screen. Motorola come up with a newer version with an increased screen and bluetooth.

  • when i lift the flip will it automatically accept an incoming call ? cuz im looking for a cheap flip phone which will asnwer an incoming call as i lift the flip ... no need to press any buttons .

  • hi, this phone is great, but can anyone tell me how the mms can be set ? thanks in advance!

  • Hi Guys,I own this fone and took it just becos of its cool black colour, i think that is the only thing that this fone is good about "Being Stylish". Otherwise in terms of features, all of them are complicated, the worst worst worst part is its sms, I think we we can write 40 words/min in any other phone(Nokia) where this writes just of about 15-20 words/min, i mean its really hell slow for even a low sms user. At times u just feel to call the recipent then to sms, one more example is a recipent sends just 2 messages while u are replyin to just the 1st one still. The quality of music is Loud enough can be considered a good point may be along with the Good Battery time.

  • buttons stop working why

  • Wow.. I go ga-ga over this Phone.. Simply amazing. Looks like a typical Razer bro. FM Stereo Rocks. I sold my Sony W 550 and bought two colors of MOTO flip. Some Minus pts : --> Dictionary support : Makes hard time for the user to switch to auto complete mode. --> Would have been great if it supports MP3 ringtones. :(

  • Hey ppl, This is a phone to get if ur budget is below 4K. It supports AMR file format and hence they say MP3 like. Battery like is about 3 days with normal usage.

  • nice phone... great looks....esp.. the fornt icons... looks fabulous in black.... compared to silver color model..... battrey life goes for 2 days... gprs speed is good.... (but the font size cannot be made smaller) no Infra Red.... supports amr music files.... but cannot assign it as ringtone..... sound quality is also good... display contarst is also good..... overall a nice entry level fone.... 3.5/5

  • how do u record a song

  • This website says that this phone supports WAP/XHTML but on the official website (www.motorola.com), they say it only supports WAP 2.0. Can any user of this phone help me about this and also what is the difference b/w WAP & XHTML ? Waiting for the responce as I am intended to buy this phone.

  • As i must say Seeing the PINK version of this fone I fell in love at ist sight never mind if it does not hav USB, CAMERA, BLUETOOTH OR Whatsoever useless feature on high end phone , I hAv my 2 N-Series fones the N8O And N72 but i miss having a stylish flip type model fone so when i see the pink version and held it in my hands i didnt let go of it Simple, Sexy, But yet Stylish entry level fone and indeed it made me fell in love with it more when i listened to its stereo FM radio good clarity of sounds and amazed by its long battery life as well i love making my calls and answering my calls and looking stylish on this fone and one thing that i love not evryone can have the pink version of this phone unless ur a woman

  • Ok, It is slick, but the lack of USB and bluetooth turns down all points for design, now a days cell manufacteres should focus on conectivity and functionaliy... If I want to listen to Mp3s I�ll get an Ipood, If I want to take a picture I get a Real Camera, If I want a to be reachable I need a Phone, is like cars, first they focus on GPS, DVD, seats heating, why don�t they focus on enginess that need less petrol??? Come, Simplicity needs to come back for good...

  • This phone is great, and is definitely worth the price, given its mix of features and the smooth stylish look. No flip phone from Samsung or LG can compare to the look of this one. Also the antenna is placed away from your ear (brain) and is therefore much safer. Battery life is very good. When using the hands free kit for 30-40 mins and gaming (w/o sound) for 30 mins per day, I lose only 1 bar per day. SMS speed is slow, but the autocomplete feature is excellent and saves time. Navigation is excellent and the phone is very easy to learn to operate. I read the manual just once. Keys are large and very convenient. Screen is much brighter than Nokia and the phone offers much better battery life than Samsung or LG. Finish is excellent. And its looks, again, wow! I just place the phone down and people stare. The only minus points are the price difference between the white and black models. Also the black model is known to have an issue with a squeaky hinge. Take it to the service center and get it cured for free. No probs. I love this phone and its quality and features. Only reinforces my faith in Motorola as the REAL cell manufacturer.

  • This is really an amazing phone my MOTO!! its class 8 GPRS provides a good speed compared to other nokia fones in its range..however its SMS typing speed is slow..but its sound n picture quality n clarity is d best!

  • Can anyone tell me how to change/delete numbers from the speed dial keys, please?

  • I've been using this phone for more than a month now and i love it. I will continue to use it until it stops working and gives up on me. The ringtone volume is perfect, but sms typing is slow, but i got use to it. Amazing phone over all. Fell from me from higher than waist hieght more than 4 times and still is working amazingly.

  • Thanks to Moto This is best simple and cute phone i ever saw... im gonna buy it next months itself..just waiting for my salary to come.......

  • Yes indeed its a very very cool n nice phone, especially in this price range... Voice quality is superb, very stylish, nice display. Only flaw--Battery life is not good. I'm an average user( not playing any games, just 10-15 sms per day n about 30 min of talking), my battery lasts about 1.5day n its only been a month that i,ve bought this phone. other than this its totally value for money. Also its doesn't hav IF or bluetooth....

  • Very stylish seems lttle bit same like Krzr from its shap. Battery life is average. Talk time is almost 3Hours But radio is very Goood.Signal reception is excellent. Its A Koool Phone...

  • hi guys, is there any way to upload/transfer ringtones or pictures to phone apart from GPRS. May be someone can help. my email is [email protected]

  • Hi, Greetings to all, i bought this fashionable mobile on 09-11-2006 for Rs4000 in South India. I�m here to share my data with you guys out there thinking of buying this. Here goes� 1. The color display is good, but small compared to standard size for the price. But screen suited for the mobile design. 2. The W220 is less wide and less tall than V3 Series, 90% almost identical! 3. The battery lasts for minimum 2-2.5 Days on normal usage (Without vibrate). 4. Usage of GPRS may results in 1.5-2 days of battery life. 5. The incoming call volume is great. 6. The incoming call volume while using headset is great. 7. The Call beeper is so loud (Certain tunes), great attention grabber! 8. The sms tones are good but are limited to 5 pre-set available. 9. The Vibrate is pretty good. 10. One touch for instant silent mode for �#� key. 11. You can send sms to multiple people in one go. 12. My average battery charge time is 3 hours for empty condition. (Each bar takes approx 1 hour to charge!) 13. Can set mobile to attend calls on Any-key, Auto answer with Headset or while opening flip. 14. Headphones are of great quality. 15. By using Radio with mobile�s speaker, losing a bar of battery is common. 16. Mobile�s speaker is not loud enough when used for radio. 17. This mobile does not have hands-free feature for calls! 18. After recharge, fiddling with the mobile for not less than 1-2 hours a day and still it shows full battery for a 65K color screen is a surprise itself. 19. NO MP3 or MP3-like, purely midi, Polyphonic and I-melody & Nokia tone support. 20. Can send (MMS) and receive tones, also have melody composer. 21. Grouping of contacts is available with �unique tone� setting available. 22. So far no problems with Network, GPRS & call dropping tests. 23. It supports message delivery notification like Nokia. 24. It vibrates and Rings simultaneously. Comments: Buy �Black version� of this model, the money is very much worth than the silver one which looks like plastic made I guess. Everyone dropped their jaws the first time they saw my W220 (Black) when I showed them which co-incidentally looks like V3. I can bet that I will use it for 1-2 years.

  • this fone cool but not good features all features are like c168 only design is cool c168 is Rs 3200 & this set(w220) is Rs 5000 Rs 1800 extra for only few features & design this is not good

  • Nice simple phone, does what it's supposed to and has some neat features, but also not without its flaws. The external icons are very handy - much better than any external screen (which are often overcomplicated and difficult to see). The phone feels very well-built and sturdy, whilst also being very small. Slightly rubbery texture (at least on the black) gives good grip. Battery life is also surprisingly good. The radio seems to be of equal or better quality than other phones with FM radio, but is a pretty pointless feature where I live as radio is scattered and not worth listening to anyway. It may be more useful in other countries. On the downside, texting is slow - T9 cannot keep up with button presses and will fail to register some presses if you get too far ahead of it. This is a fairly major flaw, but it is the only one. Other minor niggles include the "Active Line" logo which stays displayed at all times despite the fact that my SIM only supports one phone line. Also, and this may be limited to certain networks, but when I request my balance via the SIM card menu all I receive is a random mix of digits and letters. Obviously not a problem if you phone a number to check your balance, but just thought I'd mention it. Overall, a decent phone for those who don't want unnecessary features, but let down by slow texting response. If a phone's going to stick to keeping it simple, it needs to do the simple things really well... and the W220 doesn't quite make it.

  • - Java MIDP 2.0 thats true ???

  • @ Kerrie Stated in the spec sheet is 32 channels polyphonic ringtones.So, as long as MOTO provide a phone with tht spec, everything is fine.The reason u so disappointed is because of ur high expectation over this cheap sleek device. Ur older phone might have the mp3 ringtones n sound very nice as well.But, is it as good looking as this? Is it as cheap as this?

  • cn ne1 teme dos it hav a spkrphon????

  • To SID: i did not in any way complain about the mp3 ringtones, i complained about the sound quality of the phone in general. i knew it didn't take proper mp3 ringtones before i bought it, although i must admit i hoped that the "mp3-like" ringtones for this phone where good enough to pass as mp3, but that is not the case at all sadly. These "mp3-like" ringtones they speak of are just .amr files which have been around for years and are fuzzy extremely bad quality songs. They falsely advertised that my calling them "mp3 like" because they're not. Even the polyphonic ringtones are terrible quality, why is this? whats the point in having a phone if you can't bear to listen to it ring. All phones should have good sound quality. Also it doesn't matter what make my phone is, the point is that its a lot older then the w220 but still has mp3 ringtones (great quality i might add)

  • common PON FM's are always stereo. this model comes with stereo head set too. now you can buy it without a second thought.

  • it is simply stylish.. if your service provider provides a cheaper access to the GPRS technology then it is worth buying it..battery is very average. they should have included an ir jack atleast.. its a basic color fone in disguise..

  • Hey Guys, It looks Cool. am impressed by the Sleek design. I have a plan to purchase . Any of you ppl know ,It's FM is Stereo or Mono ?

  • hello people ,, i wana buy a phone just to make and recieve calls and sms ,, nothing else i want out of my phone , and yes FM is an added plus point,, but one doubt i have is , people are saying in comments that its 4096 colours , but spec sheets say it is 65 k colors .. whats wrong ,, where ,, i have posted my email .. please do me a favour by clearng my doubt ,, plz

  • @ Kerrie Since u said u did all the research be4 u buy this phone, u should know tht this phone doesnt support mp3 ringtones.So, what the point of complaining of some feature tht u know the phone dont have when u already knwo it in the first place? N, may i know what is ur 'older' phone model? Is it as good looking as this one with the same or lower price?

  • To Allen Carter ("very impressive mobi" I do not agree with your comment about people who are dissing this phone being immature. I researched this phone before i got it, i only got it coz its cute looking but i was STILL extremeley dissapointed by the sound quality. As i said in a previous comment its so awfull its painful to listen to. This should not be the case on ANY phone, no matter how cheap. Its the worst phone i've ever had and i hate it, i've actually started using my old one again, which has mp3 ringtones despite the fact its older. explain that to me eh? this is basically a childrens phone.

  • I do think the ppl that have bought this mobile the (W220) gave this phone nagative comment's on hee are obviously young and immature and have not researched the mobile properly to fit there requirements. If they read the comments on here, they will understand that the whole point of everyone give's this mobile positive comment's because it does not have MP3 ringtones, camera and ect and still looks incredibly stylish and has a great solid feel. The reason why most some of the younger generation today buys an expensive mobile with all of the updated features is because the basic mobile phones with none of those flashy features look abvously aload of cheap c**P. But finally there is a mobile with none of those flashy features like mp3 and camera and still looks like a very stylish mobile. This phone is simply superb, with a great and unique design for its value. Its just a basic mobile without all the rubbish. Well motorola have finally got it right and i do hope others will follow in the near future. Review From Allen Carter

  • Please... the phone is cute. Unless... you open it! The screen is a joke. Never seen anything smaller, low res, that bulky part under the numbers? What's that? Do your self a big favor and buy a v191. Mp3 ringtone, charges through the USB cable directly from the pc, 10 mb and the phone is beautiful. FM radio? Please... enough already.

  • this one is for the nameless guy below me. if you need upgrading i think first you need to be upgraded. you will not leave a comment on this model, instead you'll buy a high end model and get yourself upgraded. Motorola w220 is for the budget conscious people also for the people who don�t like to have useless features on their mobiles and unwanted upgrades.

  • does not have the features that persons normally look for try upgrading it some more

  • I bought this phone one week ago. In his price class this phone is outstanding. I don't think you find better, nicer for this price. Don't expect this phone to be amazing: taking pictures or putting music on it is not possible. But who cares? I got a camcorder, don't need a useless cam on a phone. Good receiving. You hear the people very clear. You can type sms fast enough. And a phone memory of 600. THIS was enough for my so I'm happy with my phone. -the battery goes only 5days with normal use, I thought it would stand longer (if using the radio-something you only do in the beginning- it will even be shorter)

  • this phone is the best of all (with out camera)...

  • I got this phone 2 weeks ago and im so impress on its superb bat life. can you imagine having your fone on for a week! very cool isnt it! and fm radio sounds great. this is really one of the best phones in the market today. Go Moto! also, can you share your wap adds to me pls? email me at [email protected] thank you and mabuhay!

  • This handset does not have any network reception problems and matches standards of a today�s mobile phone; speaker�s volume is loud enough for conversation outdoors. C168 has polyphonic ring tone which is 32-tone, it is loud enough for most situations, but mp3 support is missing. You will have to use midi ring tones, which are easy to find on the web. Volume of tunes on this phone is enormously high owing to a separate loudspeaker, thus it would make sense not to set volume to maximum while in a quiet room. Vibrating alert strength is a bit above average.

  • this model is far superior than Nokia 6060.

  • hey tc you rate this phone 3 out of 10. i rate you 0 out of 10. your grey matter has dried off. Motorola has brains to produce phones according to peoples taste and choice. well done motorola with W220....wonderful phone.i am waiting for your another great FONE F3.

  • this phone is a basic one and priced accordingly. people are expecting high-tech out of it....camera, bluetooth, infrared port, usb....blah!blah! if you need all these features....why don't you go for the one that has these features and costs 3 times the price. all you wanna pay peanuts and want to have an elephant. how crazy. why don't these guys grow up and stop useless comments. Motorola w220 is an excellent phone with good sound quality and superb battery life. it way better than low end Nokia phones. i am passing this comment because i do change phone often and i can make out the difference between each models.

  • guys take thie phone if you feel like desperate fr a phone. it's not for me, i realy don't like it. what's it that makes it so popular, i see nothing wonderful about it. plz guyz tell more, if there's anything i miss or don't know about it. i don't regard it as a phone nowandays!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • hi, i was just looking thru all the comments on the w220 and noticed a guy called kevin was lookin for one but he didnt kinow where to get one well Fones for U are sellingh them for �29.99 on 02 they r great fones if u dont want anything tio fancy like the young ones theses days lol

  • hey there,this phone looks stlyish with it's sleek design. But ,it doesnt have any basic features these days such as infared or bluetooth .Another thing is that it's ringtone is merely out of date . i give this phone a rating of 3 out of 10 .

  • hey ppl! am from india i bought w220 recently i dont know how to activate GPRS for that piece to any network and network operator unable to send settings ...what to do..if anyone of u know about the GPRs setings in this phone plz send that info to my mail my mail is [email protected] thank u in advance

  • yeh this is the super duper best phone available in today's market!!! everyone get it!!!!!!!!

  • Do NOT get this phone, it's totally crap. the only good thing about it is that it looks good. The sound actually hurts my ears it's such bad quality. no mp3 ringtones which is crap all phones have that these days. no usb which makes this phone basically useless. all it does it text and make calls.

  • hi there ppl, i have been using this great phone 4 the past 3 days now. cool phone, slim, sleek, and the batt is truly suberb. but i do face one prob.. tat is, when my friends call me up, they keep asking whether i'm at home or whether i'm out.. reason is, they claim tat the surrounding noise is very loud even though i'm in my living room.. does any kind soul face this same prob tat i do? pls let me know, so tat i can bring it to the service centre.. thanx ppl.. take care, n God bless...

  • hey kpk if you ignore the call it get's disconnected. if you wanna just stop the ringer and don't wanna let the caller know that you are ignoring, just press the side volume control buttons and phone will stop ringing but for the caller your phone is still ringing.

  • I would like to know if i ignore a call in w220 will the caller get a busy tone / ringing tone or will the call get disconnected?

  • Great fone. FM quality awesome.I bought for 3.9K. Memory is OK.U can store about 50 tones and 20 wallpapers. Nobody wants USB whose budget is below 4K. 1000 times better than 6030. Only problem is no Cell info display

  • My phone got lost last week. I was using the Nokia N70. I have used other good phones too like P910i, Razor and so on. After losing another expensive phone for the fourth time I decided against spending a hefty amount. I surveyed the market looking for an inexpensive phone but there was none. They are all either too ugly or offering several features when they couldn�t even master one. Then I came across this phone. I found it to be extremely chic. It may not have a camera or any of the connectivity features. But it is a stylish phone that does not look as inexpensive as it is. This is the only phone I am very excited about after my P910i. I did not even feel this way about the N70. It obviously does not offer what Razor or N70 do, but for the price it�s a wonderful phone to have. Perfect 10!!

  • got phone and its good but cant seem to download ringtones with orange sim apart from that its ok,wished id got a v3 razr instead

  • hi guys, last week I have purchased one w220 it is a rocking phone from motorola FM Radio qualilty is far far far better from Nokia 6030 and light weight and combo stylish phone thanks moto very very thanks for this phone.

  • i think i will go choose this mobile because its radio ,,,, so but its demertis is this not any datacable,,,, infra,,, or blue tooth,,, i just what ,,, think about it,,, ant its ring tones as very bad and its not good,,,,,, so just think once or twice,,, and go to choose this phone,,,,,,,,,,,,,

  • unbelievable battery life. some people have left negative comment on battery life which is not true. they even say that the battery life sucks. let me tell those guys that when the battery indicator turns red on the screen that doesn't mean that battery life gone down. just go the menu...select setting, scroll down to phone status and click on battery meter where you can view that battery still has two bars and that enough for it to last for the whole day. my advise is that know your mobile before you pass a negative comment. i am a nokia fan but have started to like motorolas because of this model. it's really really wonderful basic model.

  • got this set for Rs.5000 in Pakistan(82us$) superb FM radio, cool velvty cover, color is black look very impressive, a TFT LCD would have been better choice then stcn

  • i luv this phone n thinking of getting but don't know how much will it cost?I tried to find it out but cud not get it and i want to know abt it's battery back up as well.

  • its a very beautiful, almost perfect for those who just want receive/make calls and send/receive SMS and don't want cameras, bluetooth, poor mp3... but the lack of a USB port make this phone very stupid =/

  • Just a question, is the volume on this phone better than the moto v360, as it can be difficult to hear people without the speakerphone. other than that, the fact that you can pick one up in Oz for $129 just proves that it is a basic phone. If you want some thing great, you have to be prepared to dish up the money.

  • sorry what? midi files aren't real songs they're polyphonic aren't they. Also, if sound quality it a feature that you want don't get this phone, it has the worst sound i've ever heard. i actually covered my ears because it hurt!

  • A pink version? Dint know that! Anyway, the phone accepts .midi format ringtones... It sounds as good as mp3...

  • just got the pink version of this phone yesterday. its really cute and stylish. The radio is pretty good thats its best feature. You can still get pictures as wallpapers and stuff but you have to download them from wap or get another phone to send it to you. Haven't tried getting ringtones yet, i think it's only the fuzzy sounding .amr ones it can get though :( for such a cheap price its a good stylish phone.

  • i see lots of people are very very fussy about the mobiles they own. why pick up without even checking it's features and grumble later that this model doesn't have this doesn't have that. every little bit of information is available from it's manual. my advise is that before you buy any mobile ask the shop keeper to show the manual first. you can make out what's there that you want. whey a person buys a phone that suits his budget and expect a elephant out of it, how crazy people can sometimes be. so be wise enough to make a fruitful decision next time. all the best.

  • I brought this phone two weeks bac. For a basic fone, its quite good. The only complain I hav is that one cannot set different ringtones for different contacts. I had a very basic black-n-white nokia earlier which had this feature. If anybody knows how to set it, do let me know.

  • Can anyone tell me that is this fone support screensaver and downloadable games?

  • I just bought this fone..i c it provides good features at low cost..but it just developed a problem..it creates an annoying noise while opening and closing the flap...does anyone expreience dis problem?

  • Hi VENKAT. The txt speed on this phone is VERY SLOW, i strongly don't recommend u to buy this phone. Ive had it for two weeks and im suffering from the txt speed, its EXTREMELY SLOW.

  • Hi karrie, ur paying less than 100 bucks for this phone. A phone that has excellent ring volume, perfect reception and talk time/standby. Mp3 like means is very close to polyphonic. Putting regular songs is not possibe at all. If you want a stylish phones that send and recieve phone calls and sms, and not having to worry about rechanging every two days, this is the phone for you. Its features aren't impressive and is a very basic phone.

  • Hi, i'm thinking of getting this phone because i want a simple stylish phone that looks good. But can anyone tell me if you can get high quality mp3 ringtones on it. On this website it says "mp3 like" i don't know what that means lol. Also, is there no usb? that sucks how i am i meant to put free stuff onto my it.

  • Whoever wants the basic color monitor with stereo FM, w220 is a very good mobile from motorola. Affordable price only 3800INR. One more thing it is having flap which gives the good looking.

  • can anyone explain clearly your experience with w220 model phoned especially abt typing texts � is the spped okay? I need ur suggestion cos I am planning to buy this phone

  • Looks are Sleek & the Phone has an excellent indicator of caller type known/unknown. This phone is an excellent one in the price band of 4K.

  • Recentaly i purchased the mobile motorolaw220 its very good to use and nice look but only option is i cant able to transfer the data if anybody knows please inform me

  • oh... no usb, this is a joke or what?

  • someone talking nonsense about this mobile is really not fair. this instrument is extremely good for a person who just needs a basic phone. interface is quick and menu is logically arranged. the sound quality is very clear and loud moreover no complaints on the signal strength. if there was a speaker phone it would have been an advantage. nevertheless this is one of moto's best models. one can confidently buy this model without a second thought.

  • this fone rocks!!!!! cool and extremely stylish_cary it in ur hand get the eyes following ur hand!! and for those who doubt it take all moto phones and get the comparisons for looks_this fone will give others a run for their money!!!! so owners of this one "ENJOOOOOOY". CHEERS!!!!

  • it is a wonderful mobile as a motorola really do, but i dont know how to compose using it?can anyone help me?

  • I need help - I just gifted this phone to my Mom but she keeps complaining that its battery life is too short - she needs to charge it everyday. However, I read that some users are getting through 2-3 days without recharging. So what I need to know is whether there is some power saving setting which would enable the battery to provide 2-3 days standby time or is there some fault with the battery??

  • should i buy motoflip as my 1st fone is 2100

  • I liked this phone all around except for one thing - the display area doesn't fully cover the screen window which makes it look cheap. Also, the key pad illumination could have been a better tint. Priced pretty high in B'lore compared to other cities. Thanks, Philip

  • Answering about downloading wallpaper...You can gat free by go to the wap.google.com then like usual google..you just input the key search and do not forget to choose " image " ( there are web,image,locat setting,web mobile alternative).After got the wanted picture.Then click "option" on the left down screen then click " save picture ".then choose the picture you want to save.

  • It supports group messaging.and there r three flash lites in front panel for incmin call,message and charging indiction.Plz tell me the guy who access web thru it.is it wrkin fine?

  • Talking on the street and/or lound area, can it give the clear voice?

  • plz ne1 can tell that if this phone supports group messaging????

  • Got this phone a week ago. I must say I am more than satisfied as this is my first Motorola phone (i am a nokia loyalist though!) I bought this for "secondary phone" with basic features and for its sleek looks. Its design is cool. No s/w problems. The FM radio output is extraordinary. I have also browsed wap sites and downloaded some wallpapers and ringtones with ease using Airtel connection. No problems. Also, I am amazed at its power management.. the battery lasts me for about 2-3 days! Overall, its a good phone below Rs 4000 and value for money. Definitely recommended

  • This cell phone looks cool but it is definitely for people who write txts very fast. You cannot write a txt very fast on this phone, it also takes about 2mins to forward a txt to 10 people, when really it shud be, say, 20 seconds. I was not impressed with this phone, it is very very slow.

  • hi any ideas on how to enable the quick-dial on this phone? thank you

  • i would like to know about the flash icons that are supposed to glow on the top panel of the fone...

  • Good design but memory useless...

  • Compared between Nokia 6030 & Motorola W220 cos buying a spare basic phone. Phones with built-in radio. After went through with the sales, bought the black W220 from M1 Shop. No regret, it's a simple but a very good phone. The radio is stereo that comes with a stereo dual earpiece. Phone have MMS, EMS with animation icons and melodies & SMS. I can remove the date/time/operator logo with the function provided. The ringing tone very loud & clear and the shape of this W220 black look like V3, even smaller. Highly recommended "Cheap & Good"

  • plzzzzzzzz some body help me out..tell me the site for downloading the wallpapers for this phone..

  • thanx all for replying , in my opinion u really dont need a data cable wid a basic fone like diss . itz got only 500 kb of miserable memory But neverthless a very good fone for this kind of price , very reasonable . I own a sony ericsson w800i and itz a hell of a fone but im planning to buy it az my second phone as standbuy what do u ppl say bout reliability of motorola products , because i have heard some really bad things but it

  • Hai Friens ! Plus Points : This models is simply best and compare with Nokia 6030 it's better because this is polyphonic and Streao FM. Very slim, light weight, Super colour display, Battery is good etc.... Minus Points : Here no USB ports, no loud speaker and compare with C168 is also same things.

  • Cool looking phone. Light. Thin. Good battery life. Nice build quality. Basic functions work fine. If you're thinking of buying one, you need to be aware that the external icons (missed call, answerphone message, text message) only flash for 30 minutes then the light goes out completely. This means there's no way of knowing if you've got a missed call or text unless you open the phone and look at the screen, which is a real pain. Pity, coz otherwise a good phone.

  • I hav bought this mobile last week in 3700 with bill.Feature wise good enough.About loudspeaker its there while listening FM bt not while talking to some1.Colors are OK. No place for datacable.its bad.it shows error while using gprs in downloading.Good Mobile with smart looks.Cheap. and u can't ask for more at this price.

  • fone is slow for smsing. battery is excellent. fone is sexy. definetly not classy

  • come on guys some body gotta reply , does tha fone looks really low end in hand or does it look classy or is it somewhere in between

  • hey users is this fone good for smsing , also how good is the battery

  • iam not a rich girl so im now pianning 2 buy dis phone,its an amazing phone 4 me,thanx motorolla.

  • It's really a nice and simple phone to use. Easy to navigate, light, and cool :) Good for those who just need a simple phone and not many functionalities. As I am working in a place whereby camera phones are disallowed, so this is a good phone for such environment. *thumbs up!*

  • I would like to know the way of getting MP3-like ringtones on this mobile. Actually, there is no bluetooth also. Other than MMS, is there ne othr way of gettin MP3-like ringtones.

  • its FM is not so strong , when we r in travelling either on BUS or Bike its FM doesn't work properly,

  • Need help guys.... I want to buy a modest cellphone with FM. I was comparing Motoflip-W220 and Nokia-6030. Both of them are pretty similar in features. Only thing is...I guess you cannot connect Motoflip to a PC via USB. I am not sure about Nokia 6030. Please post your suggestions....especially the negatives.....thanx

  • There is no external screen, just the 3 led indicators on the front (see pic of it on this site) This phone cannot be connected to the computer via usb.

  • Hi, i find the design of this phone is really great. And its the RAZR of the poor ppl.....I would like to know if this phone has a external screen to see numbers of incoming calls and whether there is a USB port.

  • how can i download applications.each time i try to download there is an error..

  • can any body please tell me the site for downloading wallpapers...

  • Hi All, I have bought this phone few days back. I read all your comments and here is my opinion about it. I saw many ppls writing, it doesn't have this and it doesn't have that. I just ask them what the hell you want for just Rs.4000. I suggest, see your pattern of use of a cellphone and if you find that you use a cell for making calls, and recieving calls and nothing else, go for it this is most handsome phone for this price and everything OK with it.

  • Hi all, Does this phone have a loudspeaker ? My frnd bought this model but we could not find an option to put it to loudspeaker mode while receiving/making a call.Owners of this phone..Pls comment.

  • so how to dowlod ringtone & wallpaper

  • tell me there is usb code avalible or not

  • Okay first of all, this phone doesn't drop calls,,, the one u have is probably defected. This is the first motorola phone i have used and its not the best compared to the other brands i've used for such a long time, such as nokia, siemens, samsung and lg. I think this phone is great, the talk time is amazing, but the only bad thing about it is its SLOW,compared to samsung and nokia. And also when you want to write a msg, if ur a fast typer then forget it, the software isn't fast enough. Infact its the slowest smsing software ive ever used. Other than that i love this phone, if ur on headset, u can make a call and flip the fone close and the call won't disconnect. The ringing volume is extemely high at the highest volume. The profiles of loud, silent and vibartor are just as easy to get to like nokia. Infact there are 3 different ways u can adjust the profile of the fone, and they are all just as easy. I gotta say, im very happy with this low-end mobile i have purchased and can see my self using for quiet a while.

  • No caller ID, but yellow circle flashes for 30 mins if u have a missed call, and the same with the blue envelope in the middle

  • Does it have caller ID visible from the outside...is their an outside screen?

  • I have no idea why are you saying this is a good phone, it's shiteous. Motorola's are like general motors, and mostly all american cars, people buy them, even though we know there not the best thing we can get anymore. If you have to choose between this or the razr, defiently go with the razr. First of all I have no idea why people are saying it has an amazing screen. This screen is basically just an enlarged version of the razr's abysmal external screen. Call quality is horrible, and it seems like no matter what network you're on, calls get dropped like hot cakes. I could go on, but bottom line, motorolla's are overall reliable phones, that last for a while most of the time. But if you have too choose between this and a razr, or any other phone at that, this phone looses every single time.

  • no it does not have usb connectivity. It has only two slots one for charger n other for ear piece.

  • keypad lock can be found in some if not all nokia flip phone. only goes to show that nokia is really in the dark when it come to flip phone design and features!

  • Since its a flip phone, no use of giving keypad lock

  • hi every body i am planing to buy this mobile, is it has usb port to tranfer data with pc. anybody knows that pls send me mail or send the comments here

  • flap phones dont need keypad lock option

  • I bought the mobile today, becoz of its look at this damn cheap cost with sufficient features to fulfill the basic phone necessity. -ves We cann't change radio station through earpiece. Also it does not have key pad lock system. becoz it has flap. Ring tones are polyphonic n not mp3 like screen small but display is nice +ves sound quality very nice fm too good battery good looks nice at this rate display good

  • I have purchased new motorola w220. It looks very good. But It has BIg problem, Some time it looses network. Only "Emergancy Only" Messages is displayed. Then I have to restart phone. this happen again. I heared this is problem in another models of motorola also

  • can any one say how do we change radio stations with the heaset as in other phones.

  • so hot

  • I have just bought the Motorola W220 as the RADIO and the SPEAKER sound quality is excellent. If you want a simple but stylish cell then it's the cell to go for. Only if Motorola could have put MP3 ringtones it would have been a 5 star cell for the price of a motel. In the specifications area it is written for ringtones{MP3 like} can any one tell me what is meant by that? Please mail me at [email protected]. All in all it is a fablous cell and thanx once again, MOTOROLA.

  • I just bought this phone yesterday. And I love it! First, you can store 600 names in the phonebook memory. Second, it has a very stylish aesthetic (i bought the one in all black) It doesn't really look "cheap". Third, it's affordable if you're budget-conscious. Fourth, I bought this phone 'coz I would want to try Motorola for a change. I like its font better than Nokia and other brands when you read and compose messages. All you need for a basic phone (making calls and sending messages) are here, plus of course, the FM Radio! Two thumbs up! =)

  • Superb Mobile. I never seen such mobile with the least price. I really excited with the model and I'm going to purchase the mobile very soon. Thanks MOTOROLA!!! Regards, jay

  • What do you need a cell phone....? To stay connected via calls and text messages....This should be the basic feature of the cell phone.... If you need a camera, then go and buy a separate one....you will get a 3 - 4 mp camera...at a relatively cheap price... This phone is stylish and has all the basic features the cell phone should have....pls stop cribbing.... It has good talk time and stand by time... Its a stylish phone at a the cheapest price....Nokia phones dont even have a good finish.... Guys who just need cell phone to communicate...then this one is for u...Motorola Flip Rocks...

  • Hi, I am amit,i want to know about the how i send ringtones & picture msg to others.please tell me

  • hi i am using w220 and let me tell that its a fantastic phone. i really wanted this type of phone only which has flip, fm, 600 phone entries, 250 messages, polyphonic ringtones etc. The manual is quite easy to refer and the phone has nice classification options. Thanx

  • HI ALL!I think this is a good deal but of course I miss out on the easier navigation and better phone book and messaging options of Nokia.But then the sound quality is good,the bad part is that when one wants to control the volume of the voice of the caller,one's own voice volume also gets controlled....really troublesome feature I thought!! But then, we can't have everything right?Cheers!

  • Hey, Can anyone tell me about the "Melody Player" of the fone. Wat format of sound cn b playd in d melody player. My email id is [email protected] Thnx

  • Someone replied to my question of how to lock keypad, "...to lock the keypad press Center Button and then *". That does not work. I tried it. Infact, many of my friends who have this model tried, and it did not work. Looks like, this model does not support keypad lock. Moreover, does it make sense to have keypad lock when its a flip model? May be motorola thinks that its not worth to support that in a flip model. Closing the flip is like locking the keypad...? May be ....

  • in order to lock the keypad press the center button and then press *

  • Can any body plz tell me if i can connect the phone to the computer via a data cable for transfering files or use it as a GSM modem to surf internet on computer using my mobile GPRS service?Any help will be appreciated in this regard.

  • hey can anybody tel me whether it has got group message sending option or not?

  • Does anyone know how to lock the keypad in this phone? I mean, what is the equivalent of < Menu + * > key combination press to lock/unlock the keypad , which we usually find in Nokia phones? I tried all combinations in this phone, none worked. User Manual also doesn't mention about this feature.

  • Does someone know if the W220 can ring and vibrate at the same time?

  • I think thi is a good phone. I have seen and checked many phones from SE to Nokia and SAMSUNG. They offer you too many things which we hardly use and still pay for it. This phone has sufficent features for smart users and all functions are at its best. Sound out put(voice and FM) are just astounding. Front panel indicators are very helpful. And smooth key pad. What else common user wants in mobile.

  • hi frnds can any one send me review or tell me more abt this cell, i am planning to buy this. my email is [email protected]

  • any knows if the software is similar to c168?the sms really lags alot

  • gentlemen...a phone is a phone. if u really need a camera,than buy a decent digital camera that serve your purpose.

  • Yes this fone has a pretty good ringer... the sound quality is loud and clear!...

  • There is some problem with message inbox .. i`m not able to get into messages folder :((

  • Hi all, I just bought this one. and this one rocks. For people, who are not allowed to use camera phone or any device which can transfer data....then this one is the answer for them and i m one of them. No other mobile in this range looks so stylish and so trendy than this one....kudos Motorola...Nilesh

  • How good is the output of the ringer. Is it audible in traffic ???

  • it is a perfect combination of simplicity and style .

  • At S$168 in Singapore, Motorola W220 scores with its nice exterior but features wise it is just like its entry-level cousin (C168) although you can listen to the FM Stereo on the speaker as well. Besides the icons (which are in eye catching colours), the front display does not tell you much (no incoming caller ID, etc); however the sound quality and long battery life should make up for that.

  • Hi All, This is a sexy, slim, attractive and cool cell phone... The Voice output is absolutely awesome... A must buy for all people seeking stylish & low cost coloured cell phone with FM Radio.

  • Hello All: Is this phone dual-screen...? Please let me know. Thanks. Bests.

  • Is this phone has reminder facility. The sound quality of this phone is very much better.

  • just bought this phone. Is good but am upset with the phone book with only one phone number per name entry.

  • I just bought this phone from Mobile Asia 2006 exhibition. What to tell. This phone is really awesome. Razr prototype at such an awesome price. What else wud we need at that money. Critics try comparing it with Nokia 6030 and Sony Ericsson babay phone. This phone is a win win in design too.

  • A look at the specifications makes me feel good about this phone. Hope this fits best for the people who use phone for communication purpose, nothing more than that

  • Hi amol here.. First of all thakns to read my opinion. This mobile cost is low as compare to other mobile.. Look rich.. Very slim... easy to carry.. Good Radio Quality... Very Good sound clarity... I am satisfy to handle this mobile.... Thank you very much Motorola for introduse this mobile...

  • Finally, there's fone for which you don't have to spend a fortune yet get utility of high end fone. Thanx motorola!!!!!

  • wat a stupid phone!! i dunno why motoroal keeps makin such phones!! roflmao!!!

  • Well, I haven't checked the phone right now. But, what it looks from the specification, is a VERY GOOD entry level phone. My father does not require Camera, Memory, High fly gizmo. He just needs a phone which looks descent enough. And I feel this is just the one. He does not have to learn a lot about the functionality. By introducing this phone, Motorola is just not moving into the teen age market (because teens require Bluetooth, Camera, Memory Slot, etc...)... Hope it has a good network and sound clarity.. I give a thumbs up to Motorola for designing a sleek, good looking phone...

  • can W220 play MP3 songs ??? music is very good, nice headphone, which gives you a quality sound. Over-all very GOOD mobile.

  • Hey even i have d same question. is it a dual screen fone??????

  • Is the radio on this mob a stereo,like a SE j230 or a mono ,like the 6030 ?..hope its stereo.

  • It looks neat & finally got a flip phone without a camera....

  • i got this phone gifted to me yesterday and m very happy with it. at least i can listen to music to my hearts content. i think the battery is also too gud. thanks to jaanu to gift me this phone. i will be always obliged... and to tell all the lovers of the world, its a gud phone to be gifted... makes your way to hearts easily. chao

  • i bought this phone just yesterday and should say that it is definitely a good buy. i am delighted that motorola has finally come up with a phone which is very cool and adaptable for people who dont want cameras and stuff. a phone is a phone is a phone ... and Motorola W220 is the baap of all phones... keep it up motorola.

  • Hi there guys. I just bought this phone yesterday and i must say, its a great buy. For people wanting to know if its worth it or not, in my opinion, it is definatly worth it. I just bought this phone as a secondary phone and for the price, it really works well. Very responsive, looks nice, and nice color display. You really cant expect more out of a phone of this price but, if you just want an inexpensive phone that looks great and performs well, this should be a good choice for you. Hope this helps.

  • does this fone has a dual screen or shud v open n check whoz calling us.

  • Price of MotoW220 in INR 3999 only. It's a nice buy even without a Camera

  • I think it is a good phone considering the price. Not all people want camera and blue tooth. It has FM and that too with speaker phone. Price is less than Rs.4000 (less than $100) in India. A clam shell at this price with FM is good. Lot of teenagers can go for this.

  • Itz a Clam-Shell version of their C168. Itz price is Rs.3990 in India as per the ADs. Cheapest clam phone with FM Radio. No competetion for it as of now....

  • it is a wonderfull phone..and as far as the price is concerned it empties only 4300 Rs from ur wallet...wow...

  • Finally a nice looking clam shell with out a horde of unwanted features! So hard to find a good clam shell with basic features and no camera.

  • Hey gus's It shud have a camera, without that, it doesn't look like a completed one. any way nice look like v3, But I don't know exact price in Indian Rs. can any one tell me wat's the cost of it as of now.

  • i agree nice model for price it is a shame good features are not motorola standard for all models. i personally adore my a1200 thank you to all readers from etoile mobile kid

  • Very good design, solid looking and smooth metal-like surfaces. But when it comes to what it has to offer, it's a complete disaster! 64 k screen colours, 128x128 pixel resolution (like my old 6230 that was launched in 2003!!), less than 1 MB user memory (lol), no bluetooth, no IR, no USB, no camera (oh, god!) and even no mp3. Is this a 2006 model or it's a 2003 refurbished one that came on the market by mistake?

  • we are waiting for this model,b'cos of the features,but why motorola is not changing the design of v3.now almost all motorola models similar to v3. pls find new exciting designs

  • I Think its a good phone for the price (�45) seen as it has GPRS and WAP 2.0/XHTML browser and a good screena and FM radio, and good standby time and talk time. But motorola has copied Alcatel by using the symbols on front except for one symbol which they use a battery icon and alcatel is signal and that it only has 500kb of user memory which is rather poor. And also the bottom bit of the phone is abit fat.... Overall i'd give it a 6 out of 10 i guess....

  • this is a descent looking phone that is targeted at low-end user but SP is right, it should not cost more than $100 and since it does, it's too expensive and not worth it. there are phones with almost same price or are cheaper that have more features like camera as compared to this one.

  • hey!SP! Start writing to Motorola coz this phone cost around $118!

  • this mobile has handsfree really or just with the earphones?

  • I think you're missing the point with this phone. If it did have a camera and/or bluetooth, it'll be in direct competition with the RAZR, and I'm certain for a way cheaper price. I personally like this design more than RAZR too - looks more childish I guess, with the huge icons on the front. Targetted towards teens who are getting their very first phone but their parents don't wanna bust their wallet? I'm sure this is a reasonable compromise between style and affordability.

  • TO PREVIOUS POSTING: Ok, it will be tough to argue with ignorance. However, I hope that this junk phone will cost no more thana a $100 retail. Well, it better not to be, otherwise I'll write a letter to Motorola to tell them what a bunch of morons they are!

  • Is it just me or does this look like a child's play phone constructed of plastic?

  • to the guy before me, know your cell phone history...motorola was not the first mobile phone manufacturer but ericsson...then after ericsson got bankrupt(i think) they merged with sony...

  • The american brands are grow up long time ago- do you know who invent firs mobile phone in the world...Motorola is the answer...so think again...the rest have to learn more

  • STUPIDITY AFTER STUPIDITY: When will american brand grow up? This is would be the best moto phone, if: PROS: -Normal mature design -No Junk camera! CONS: -Color screen (+ low resolution?!) What for??! ANSWER: To drain battery life faster! -No Bluetooth????!!!! WHY????? ANSWER: So you will not able to hear people well ( + on such a thin phone!!!)

  • Motorola is hopeless, everytime I see a new product it seems to have stooped to an even lower level. Can it get any worse than this? Most low-end phones these days are dirt cheap, with a camera to boot. So how much are retailers expecting for this phone, 5 bucks? I'd go with either Nokia or Samsung phones, they're leading the market at the moment. Sony Ericsson is even getting to be pretty good. But Motorola has hit rock bottom - how disgraceful.

  • werry nice phones.

  • I have this for testing. It's quite plastic but much more handy than any huge razr (v3). Something nice from Motorola.

  • this phone is targetted at people who can't afford a razr phone but want to own one.

  • why do the low end motorola's get fm radio!!!!

  • This is a cool looking phone (razr?). But for motorola, this is an embaressment. For the company that lead the way in bluetooth technology, and I think, has some of the better phone in the US, ths is not at all what motorola is known for. Then again it does look a lot like the razr. coincidence? maybe. anyway. I will wait until there is a more advanced version or I'll just get the razr.

  • Hey guys.... its a phone with high class flip and its smart like razr v3 but for the people who want some gr8 in less money...this phone rocks but can any one tell me when will this phobe b available , i am waiting

  • Oh PLEASE... stop the "government/work" crap. Everywhere there is a computer you are allowed to have a cell-phone. The internet is better for spying and transmitting sensitive information than any cell can ever be. Unless you work for the FBI or some other rather sensitive division this is way over-exagerated. This phone isn't meant for work. It's too childish. It looks like a toy with it's plastic feel and huge colorful icons on the front. I wouldn't want to be seen with it in business. Buy a NOKIA for business, that'll be the most well received phone in todays market. Harlekkin

  • put a memory slot in this one so that it can double as music player

  • There is a whole market out here for folks who can't have phones that take pictures or videos. Many federal government places and many manufacturing companies do nopt allow cell phones. I work at for company that has 150,000 employees and several thousand on-site contractors world-wide. Guess what? No cell phones without cameras aloud. The market is huge and we need quality cell phones without cameras. I think this will be a hit? Now, will someone please tell whether Cingular will carry and when I can get it?

  • actually i don't think this phone is a bad idea. it won't sell like moto v3i other high-tech models, but there ARE people who would go for that one instead of others.personally i would have bought this one instead of my v3 if it came out a couple of months earlier. it looks stylish and it is a phone, personally thats enough for me.

  • i dont think these phones are a very good idea. i work at a mobile phone shop, and although some people do not want all these features, most will at least want a camera, or bluetooth. i think motorola is moving backwards, not forward. maybe they should look at creating an affordable phone with certain features that most people want. and with the array of software problems that a lot of motorolas are known to have, you may as well buy a cheap prepaid. i have also found that some menus that the motorolas have aren't as easy to navigate compared to brands such as nokia and sharp. i can't see these phones doing too well.

  • DULL DULL DULL I currently have the V3 and am holding off upgrading in the hope of the 2Meg camera and better contacts and calendar. MP3's take it or leave it but the storage facility would be great. What a Let down with the W220!!!

  • At last someone has woken up and designed phone without all the crap on phones now. I have 4-5 phones laying around that I have updated from, all with cameras, MP3 etc. What a waste I use my iPod for music and I use a Canon T 30 for photos, both small both unobtrusive and take anywhere. I have a V3i as one of my phones and I'm happy with it, never used the MP3 or the camera. I use a phone as a phone except for my O2 which I use as a PDA and travelling number. This will be my choice for my 2nd and 3rd numbers.

  • Hi, I comefrom Japan and I lost all my hoped for Motorola.

  • Great battery life! i love it for sure. im agree with you patches. Phone is a phone.. nothing else..

  • simplcity and style

  • these phones will sell like hot fire... i work within the phone industry and what alot of people want now is just a phone, no extras...

  • Great! This is exactly what I expected from a phone. Let's make a phone as phone, to make a phone call not to take picture.

  • no bluetooth, no usb, come on?!? u can only transfer files using mms

  • Motorolas joining the slide phone rush now with the new Capri mobile its got a 2.2megapixel camera on it an it looks superb i am sure it will be shown on Gsmarena soon as coming soon but if you want to look at the photo of it go to www.mobile-review.com an you can see the new Capri,so do not waste your money an wait for the CAPRI

  • I absolutely LOVE the design. Very elegant with its sheer simplicity. The icons on the front is fabulous design wise. And, a phone doesn't always need a camera.

  • i think a cell phone motorola w220 with a style it's dowm.

  • some1... buddy... people enjoy the fact that phones have camera for the time where you need a camera but forget yours at home. why carry so much crap on u when i item has all and more...unless ur tight...thats another thing...

  • cool..............

  • what's the point anyway. it looks good but I guess that's not enough.

  • I love it, a FONE without a camera finally, most camera's on fone are rubbish ( well exeptc the sharp 903) but still if u wont a camara then get one if you wont a fone then get one, why add them together. i would get just b cuz it has no camera!!!!!!!!!

  • can any one answer why should i buy this phone?........

  • no no no no no no no no no...that's all i see...wtf?

  • i think this phone is ok just to a person that wants a sleek styleish phone and with practicly no features lol but its looks arnt bad nice and simple!!

  • OMG!! What is this supposed to be? No camera, I cannot simply imagine a phone without a camera unless it's a Nokia 3310 or sumfin!!!

  • it's a friggin' phone! some of us have lives, and only need to make phone call once in a while. we don't need to take pictures or surf the net or listen to music or play games or any of that crap. just "hello", "how ya doing", and "goodbye".

  • good look i think. although there is no camera but i love its design n maybe it has radio.

  • argh this is either gonna be one of those verizon wireless phones that suck or the new free phones that cingular is going to be giving out. I doubt this will be for t-mobile...why didn't they come up with something newer. This is even worse than my old V690 thats on the old page of motorola. The v690 is actually a nice looking, reliable(sometimes) and its actually has a CAMERA woah...this phone is trash...don't wait for it

  • V180 is to V220 as W220 is to V3. The retarded little brother with downs' syndrome.

  • they should have done this as a high class phone, with 2mpx camera, gvga display etc. just because it looks so "pro"/ has a great design (imo better than rokr or razr).

  • While I can admit that this an entry level phone, 4096 colours is pathetic. Like someone has said before SE and Nokia are using at least 65536 colour screens. The difference is quite large when you compare.

  • Nokia? Oh please, they are all same as Moto....what is 1112 then..its even Monochrome.LOL.

  • motorola sucks! motorola, weve moved on to 256k, not going backwards to 4k like years ago... yes im aware this is a basic phone but basic nokias and sony ericssons now have 65k screens! nokia & SE for ever!!!

  • ofcourse this is low cost phone and cannot be near at any V3 or V3x like design or functions. I thing there was alcatel with same indication on front panel.... BR

  • Hi overthere, i really like this Motorola W220 and am ready to buy it right away infact i need 2 for my IN-LAW, kindly get back to me with the prices

  • Umm... you people haven't a clue. This is called an ENTRY LEVEL phone. It's meant to be inexpensive, simple, and stylish. This is not meant to be a flagship phone or full of features. It's for the average user, you know, the 15-year-old girl set. It's not like they were like "we cant figure out how to put cameras and bluetooth and mp3 players in this phone"....

  • this a awfule phone i mean moto have made the razer the pebl the slvr the roker then they make this phone with no camera or bluetooth or infared

  • Motorola are fallin flat on there face and not gettin up coz sony ericsson and nokia are stampin their head into the ground

  • As I said before that MOTO running out of options and its high time they find some company who has some knowledge in design/mp3 player/Display technlogy/Camera/Camcoder and marge with them,... here comes the news. Motorolla is acquiring from BenQ Mobile, a research and development center, associated development and test equipment and a team of product development engineers in Aalborg, Denmark. Read on:

  • Exactly i agree with anthony this phone is purely for calls and txting which there is a large demand for as a lot of people still get frustrated with mobiles that ahve gadgets if u think about it you want a basic phone what u gonna get a nokia 1100 which looks crap or a phone the same spec but looks good like this 1 its been perfectly marketed for technofobic people who just want a phone and as anthony said want a mulitmedia phone go buy 1

  • motorola is a great desingner, but in my opinion is too serious... it needs much color, i think.

  • At least motorola is one of the few companies to care about people who cannot use camera phones at their workplace.

  • Oh man. Why does design stop just before reaching that bloody slow-ass interface?!

  • Moto is going down.

  • Yeh we got it. No camera..no MP3 ..No multimedia features fine..atleast have some memory and a good color screen. Moto seems not to even offer that. Are they gonna sell it for 10-15USD..dont think so. All they are doing is still cashing on RAZR design...motorolla Capri..Canary...and giving some colors...ufff enough..I think they should just make Walkie-talkie..afterall they are best in that.

  • People dont seem to get the concept of a telephone. this phone is great. If you want a multimedia device then buy one. This is a telephone. Simple and perfect, with a great battery life.

  • Do you know what i dont get, why they make a brand new cool looking flip phone have 0 features, well not exacly 0 but no camera no bluetooth no mp3 no usb, its just un called for.

  • Can You belive that my post got deleted? Or I cant see it. All I sad is that this phone sucks. I sad DO NOT GET THIS PHONE. DO NOT GET ANY MOTOROLA PHONE. I used to have it and then I realized that every phone lacks features. I loved V80 but then I saw how easy it brakes.

  • I think this is a great idea. There are lots of people out there that want to buy a very simple phone. The want to use their instrument purely to talk to people, and a slim version of a device that does just that, is pretty useful

  • aah this phone is terrible a worser screen then the v220, at least that has 65k colors, this phone is only 4096 DON'T GET THIS PHONE!

  • Rubbish phone!! no USB no bluetooth it wud be disastres if any1 bought this joke

  • Basically Moto went back to school and working on some low end phones.Cant keep up with the new age. No plz dont talk about ROKR..its a design disaster.Have you seen the RORK E3?..uuf. Hope they find some company who has some knowledge in design/mp3 player/Display technlogy/Camera/Camcoder and marge with them. Moto is taking a break.

  • true like the camera ;D useless just go get a digital camera if u really love to take photos n the quality is much better ;D the best phone would b really slim wif mp3 ;D since carrying a phone n a mp3 makes u heavier >_

  • This phone still needs: 1) Mp3 ringtones + usb 2) TFT, 256K colors display Skip the radio, and you have perfect phone, without tons of needless functions

  • it's nice

  • I hope this model..motorola specifically developed to penetrate the two giant markets ( India and China ) and planning to take a price war with rival Nokia for its low end models which are really doing good in the two markets....Possibly the price will be very low..so every one can afford to have RAZR ..All the best..Moto

  • i have this phone actuall 40 units and these are rubbish my pros i have none! my cons forstly no memory no camera no email no mp3 blutooth rubbish design no features nothing

  • Looks like a cheap knock-off to the Razor. Motorola catering to the low-end user and making them think they have a Razor

  • I think Motorola made this phone with Verizon users In mind (LOL). Since their Razor lacks all the features that the Razr has come to stand for. This phone is a great phone for grandparents that are finally getting into the world of Mobile phones.

  • If u don't like this phone, then it's probably not targeted for you. Companies have to see to it that they make products for everyone. This one if for the lower market, for people who can't afford, or don't like to spend so much for a phone. Now if you like so much the well-featured ones, and can't afford them, too bad for you you'll probably have to stick with this one. I hope everyone got my point. "Great phone, for it's market target." Don't complain!

  • well in my opinion i think this phone is a low end phone...extremely low end actually...maybe it is meant to target the "not so rich" people or people who wan a phone just to make a call.anyway have to wait till it is released to check the price.anyone has any info bout the price of this phone?

  • Great phone! I've been constantly looking for a simpistic phone. I have my notebook, my pocket pc, and I just need a very basic phone until the Skype + WiFi combination obliterate all useless 3G & 4G phones and communication standards.

  • I dont know actually if I am shocked or desappointed by Motorola, this phone proves that the glory that Motorola had in the past, is just a vague souvenir.

  • I think this phone will suit some people like me who simply want to use a phone. Nothing more. Being a Moto user for more then 10 years. Moto finally manage to solve their problem with Pick up and Close button wrong way round last year. Now the only problem is with their software. Like all of their phone OS. Only 10 Dailed / Missed / Recived Call. Why not 20 or 50 like most other company? Standby hour still on the low side. And hopefully you can store more SMS this time around. Oh... Is there any Auto Push open button?

  • A perfect phone for the older generation. I think the kids are missing the point with this phone. Why have an amazing resolution screen when all you are displaying is numbers? people who care about the quality of their pictures don't really want a phone camera which takes fuzzy shots through a lens which is covered in greasy finger prints and scratches. You could take away any messaging function and replace the irritating ring tones with an old school 'ring ring' and there would still be a strong market. If you want bells and whistles then you're obviously looking at the wrong phone... Get over it and move on.

  • this phone is so simple, its cool, this phone is for communication only and nothing else.as in for communication only, i wanna have one to be my extra phone.

  • Is this the w220 the expected SCPL model? or is the SCPL a totally different new phone?

  • i think this phone is perfect!!!ah but perfect for the veterans in life..hehehe..maybe motorola decided to make this for the old people who only wants an fm radio in their phone...plus they will look stylish,hip and cool..hehehe

  • Wouldnt mind this phone, might give my dad my D600 and get this. Very basic and its got all that i need.

  • i rate motorola as the best

  • Just to be exact kal motorola is numbered number 3 ( obviously)

  • this is a vey cute phone with all the basics that a basic user requires. The cool thing i lke about the phone is the external screen and the fm radio. This phone are for consumers who don't expect much from their mobiles (like me )

  • Now I know why Motorola is still Number 2

  • I'm gonna buy this phone in the moment it becomes available! After all, will be good if the display is a little bigger!

  • You'll be surprised as to how many people will be interested in this phone as having just the basics. Working for mobile firm there are many people who hate bells and whistles!

  • Well then what the F Motorolla is doing about that other segment? when in CeBit everyone is coming up with dozons of new models..Moto is sleeping? They are like a decade behind in technology.

  • are you ppl so dumb that you think theres only 1 market segment that manufacturers aim for? the market is jammed full of handsets for the young 'tech minded' people. this is a handset for people who don't care about having the most upto date functions. and around 70% of all users are PAYG (in the UK anyway). so a low cost handset is always welcome in the market that looks good.

  • I would be looking forward to see it on sale on Amazon with $150 cash back.

  • Its going to be the free phone for sure, offered by whatever cell phone service provider. maybe replace Cingulars LGC1300 free phone sence it has been discontinued..........

  • ugly phone!!!!!!!!!!

  • thats a pathetically small screen wouldn't you say?probably gonna be a verizon phone like usual...

  • Well lets say this is meant for users who doesnt want any fancy features and just wanna call and staff...that can be done with s nice 256k color screen or atleast 65k screen. By putting CSTN, 4096 colors MOTO somply gone back 10 years. Dont tell me its about saving baterry life. They are simply running out of ideas after RAZR/ROKR. Whats the point. Are they gonna sell it for $50. In USA even a $250 phone comes free with one year aggrement. then whos this meant for? They need to pay people to buy it.

  • stupid phone.the 4096 color time is over,over,and OVER!!!! 10 yaers ago....

  • Good move Nice phone for older or country people.I think it can sell good.

  • what a crap phone. the only people who ar egoing to buy this paper wieght is if they no nothing about phones and wants to buy somethning cheap

  • Wow...this phone is SICK to bad motorola forgot to add EVERYTHING.Wheres the camera,MP3 player, wheres EVERYTHING its all gone LOL i tink motorola was to lazy to finish this phone off o well.

  • s far s mobiles r concerned, a fon like d w220 is adequate fo mi. inclood a vga n mayb blututh vud excellent it. d batterry life should b quide long 2 in addition to 5mb of internal mem.

  • Gheee what a negative attitude in here... Sure it's for another segment than phones packed with more or less useless features. It could be kids, but maybe elderly people also would prefer a phone without a lot of stuff they dont use. Has anyone tried it? Is the user interface as simple as the features?? The keypad has large contrast, the 4K display may have been choosen for contrast?? Again, has anyone tried it?

  • this is more then just design this is 4 people who don't have anough money 4 better fhone's i'm happy to see brands give thos people the chance to buy a good loking cheap phone!!!

  • It seems that Motorola has changed their mission statement and key objectives; it appears that they are more interested in the low end to mid range market than anything else. The proof is the fact that they are producing mostly low end fashion (absolutely gorgeous) phones with little real functionality. Look at all the scrapped projects in this catalogue. Pity, as I want to own a Motorola again...

  • Reminds me of gadgets used in the Star trek movies. I like it, though, it should be considered as an extreme budget flip phone.

  • Just design and nothing more...

  • useless phone, rather stick with the V3

  • aaw cute a baby V3 or cheap v3 i like the way it looks but i wold buy this baby if i did not have my moto c650

  • wats in it??? motorola also removed the old things from this cell!! hahaha cell for babies!!

  • Thanks Nobra. Yep Just checked Alcalet models. They have been using the icon thing on front for quite some time now.

  • is it so expansiv to use a 65k colour display instate of a cheap 4k? + the symbols on the front cover are copied from alcatel.. no matter i like the style its seems to be a nice quality good lookin basic phone

  • this is a joke of a cell phone right and i am already laughing my A$$ OFFFFF HAHAHAHAHA.Motorola has failed however motorola proudly announces that this sell phone will be available for cheapos,weirdos and selfish foolish business type people who dont allow cameras and other gr8 feauters and think that anybody will spy on their business and also this phone is great for cheapos and weirdos who can con people into thinking that "OOOH LOOK ITS MOTO V3X"(from far away) but when u get a closer look or when u have it in ur hands these poor souls i already feel sorry for them have this piece of crap in their hands they'll all be ashamed and disgraced and i hope really hope that they throw it into the owners face breakingboth the mobile and make a bloody mess out of the owner aswell OOOOOUCHHHHHH :D

  • Levi, this toy is 16.7 mm compared to the razr's 13.9 mm! Oh and without a quarter of the specs.. I don;t see where ultra slim fits in. And for those that claim this phone is for what we see as developing/3 world countries. I can;t help but not butt in on that. I've been to many places around the world, from Indonesia to africa to South America and seen many developing countries, and believe it or not, when it comes to the cell phone industry they are no short of advanced technology. Most of these soo claimed 3rd world countries we talk about have 3G survice available, when I am here (speaking for myself only) in US and Canada crying of 3G yet our survice does not support it. Ironic.. Though this phone is targeted to the very young market as i see it. Give it to your 12 year old son/daughter to stay intouch with them or whatever.. something of that sort i guess.. And simply to whoever is cheap on cells would get it.. that's my 2 cent..

  • yo man i bought this baby cash

  • It doesn't look that good.......but then again, it's for mass marketing and their targeting people that can't afford/ or don't want to spend all that money on a cool looking phone.

  • nice looking - but thats your lot

  • very poor job motorola! small screen...no camera what for? razr me instead...

  • motorola fails !!!!!! pros: ultra thin cons: poor poor features & no camera

  • But let us see the standby and talk time how long!

  • Quote: "the boot on the bottom of the phone is ugly" This very well may be, but this is actually the genius part behind the razr-design! They have moved the internal antenna away from the ear and into 'free' air, so the head blocks as litle of the signal as possible, thus giving better signal strength (and thus better REAL talk-time/speech quality) On top: If you're afraid of braintoasting, this is reduced...

  • I supose you mean first MOTOROLA clamshell with FM...

  • LOL... as you said, finally RAZR family for poor people...that�s so funny...

  • This is supposed to be the first clamshell phone with an FM Radio. So this is all the fuss about. ;)

  • I believe it's a "razor" for kids that you don't won't parading around a two hundred dollar phone I mean it's dual banded(who does that) and the feature set is like a basic nokia candybar so there

  • Finally, RAZR V3 for poor people :) I liked the desing but, the screen size and resolution sucks, it could be 176x220 or even bigger with a better display. Like someone said below, better be cheap or no one will buy!!!

  • This one's better be CHEAP (below $90), or nobody will buy it! :-)

  • why motorola become great? because they called in numbers but then it divided into 4 razr, rokr, slvr, pebl... sounds nice isnt? next one bcoz of its sturdiness... third one bcoz it is the one that have a phone that is affordable... last one bcoz their style is unique...

  • Hei! hei! i think this phone has a very nice design n though very simple might get it as i am happy just smsing n makin calls "wink" though it would b perfec if have a vga camera.

  • Oh my dear god! Moto-stupido! Did this fall out of someones christmas cracker or what? quite possibly the most pathetic rip off I have ever seen of a RAZR and by the same manufacturer - SHAME ON YOU ALL MOTO! (coming soon to a Woolworths near you.....ha ha!)

  • "W" is this a new series from motorola?:)

  • you ought be kidding me, a look-a-like razor but looks like a toy ???? what the hell is motorola doing ! don't mean that alot of people purchase razor they gotta keep making the same look, but changing features, colors n' etc... this looks gay.

  • Nothing is wrong with MOTO. This is what they were. God knows where did they came up woht the RARZ design (which is completely at odd with the rest of their design so far) and now they are trying to cash on the same formula. the chunky bottom part is UGLY! DAMN IT.get rid of it.

  • it does look likea toy but i wouldn't mind having it if i didn't already have a phone that dominates it but moto hasn't figured out that the boot on the bottom of the phone is ugly

  • If you read the report from the 3GSM conference in Barcelone you will realise that it is being released for the developing markets. Hence the lack of features.

  • HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA, it looks like a toy phone. i'll probably give it to my 5 year old cousin. lol

  • So the front tells u if you gto a missed call or an SMS.. that's kinda neat. I'm using a nokia 6060. Similary I think this is a great inexpensive phone but the main problem I find is I am unable to download my SMS and phone contacts!!. Give me infrared at least!

  • Hey now.. c'mon this is a pretty good phone when they are giving it away free when you purchase a real moto lmao..

  • WTF is wrong with MOTO???? 128x128, cstn, 4096 ???? Again flashbacks from 2003. Damn!!

  • so the point is to make a simple phone. u got it Moto, it is simple. but hey, simple and crappy, do they have any thing in common? change design not the standard, learn your lesson yet?

  • Pretty sure this phone is for emerging markets, hence the lack of features like a camera.

  • I think this is good design, bad features and bad performance. What happen with you ??? very bad.....

  • In no way can you compare this with the nokia 3100. I get what you're trying to say, but first off nokia 3100 is old and still got a heap lot more features than this. I know it is a low end, and if you want something more you'd go for V3 series. It's just they could have at least added something to this phone other than press to speak and press to hang up. I mean c'mon now people, we are in 2006 cell been out since early '90.. This is a joke even for a low end phone!

  • A fake razr!!

  • Fu guy.. this is low end phone.. Like Nokia 3100 and SE J series.. The design is better than SE's Z200

  • lmao @ this, they should cancel it, look what happened to the E1, incorporate radio in other models.

  • Yeah, you'd think they'd try to make something impressive for 2006... apparently not

  • It's only a Low-Profile Phone, cheap and asessible than other Motorola, if you want full high profile Phone, see the ROKR E2!

  • wtf is this? indeed a joke.. no colours, no camera.. no nothing.. just.. a simple phone?! MOTOROLAAAA>> what the heck happens with you guys? sheesh..

  • this cell gotta be a joke!

  • First comment, no camera. it will bomb.
