Motorola W7 Active Edition - User Reviews

  • Nice

  • It's a nice phone from one of my favourite mobile manufacturer Motorola.. ADV: 1)Motion sensor(for shaking actions,games etc,.) 2)Battery 3)3G under low cost with video call 4)sports app, if u use it... 5)Every other phone festures(say bluetooth, Fm radio, 2m pixel etc,..) DIS-ADV: 1)Display(dim under sunlight) 2)Ringtone sound(can't realize the phone is ringing in noise places) 3)No video streaming support even it has 3g features...(opens music player and says can't play).. apart from these things i love this phone(I'm still using it)... If anyone knows about video streaming adjustment, help!!! Any questions, you can ask regarding the phone.. thanks....

  • i disliked, normaly cant see anything under sunlight. the flat cable video broke in just 1 year use

  • Is there a differences between the Motorola W7 active edition and Motorola w7 ? Or the color is the difference ?

  • Does anybody know if ringtones are loud enough to be heard in a noisy environment (e.g.: a street)? How good is the screen visibility under direct sunlight? Is the keyboard good for texting? It seems the first row it's too close to the edge of the upper part of the phone. Thanks.

  • excelent phone

  • You, my friend are absolutely right. Motorola is, has been, and always will be the best!! I just dont understand all this unavailability of Motorola handsets these days!! they should market their products well!! Until they fire some of the people at Motorola, we will all have our favourite MotoPhones and the best designs ever!

  • como hago para usar mi motorola w7 active edition como modem, en mi computadora.no he podido conectarme a intenet con mi active edition w7 desde mi computadora. quiero saber si existe la manera de hacerlo como se hace con los demas celulares.

  • Radio Data System, or RDS, is a communications protocol standard designed to embedd small amounts of digital information in conventional FM radio broadcasts. It will allow you to receive valuable information on your phone such as time, station identification and program information.

  • Good news for those who love motorola mobiles in India. Motorola is gonna launch Six new mobiles from yuva series within next 3 months along with ZN300. Price range is from Rs.3500 to Rs.8000. Zn300 is availabe only in certain stores right now....

  • RDS-Radio Data System... While listening to the fm u can also see the name of the track, genre etc., of the song been played in the FM...

  • what is rds fm

  • well i cant tell much about W7,but i can definetly boast that Motorola is the producer of world class quality phns with out any compromise. For the past 4year nearly i have been using Moto Slvr L7, and it still looks as new as ever.i have tremendously tortured this phn by uncarefully keeping it in the most hostile conditions,Rigorously using gprs almost 365 a year and its battery back up is still as before and there is hardly any scratch on the phn and whenever i put it out side my pocket it makes the other phns around me feel ashamed coz of its glittering shine and a marvalous sleek profile.

  • saw this phone awhile ago. nice screen very nice keypads but the "oblong" menu control is kinda weird (looking)

  • nice phone

  • Motorola is no longer officially released in the PHILIPPINES... anybody know what happened?

  • it is true, moto is not moving at the pace other phone producers are, wake up moto. have been using moto for over 6 years now and not regretted buying them

  • Does Motorola W7 ACTIVE EDITION Supports Hindi Language/Text option?

  • Motorola needs a better design team/leader. I don't know what the hell they are thinking, everything moto does looks different and inconsistent. Looks like a committee designs them. They need to get a decent designer/firm to define their brand and stick to it.

  • very gooooood

  • great phone!, i hope to see it soon in latin america, i miss you moto! i have an N95 and i miss my ex Z6...its much better and cute...Nokias are horrible!

  • I would post some links to saw you some phones but because of spam protection I will just name some Motorola: rival Heron a1200r 3100 karma qa1 evoke qa4 morrison and 2 other androids with no pictures yet....... Isn't that enough?

  • So far, Moto hasn't released or announced anything good this year. How is that good? Moto will most likely drop below 5% in market share, and you know it.

  • Thats right my friend. Motorola has a good plan for selling it's devices. Bombing the markets with thousand look-alike smartphones with touchscreen isn't a plan---> so that's why Samsung is going to fall from it's position!!!! But Moto manufacting each phone with own design and very detailed about everything is making an awesome job so people must realise that and stop buying the same and the same phones. In my country every1 buys SE until they die: It is a habit because people get used to the same menu and featurs and they don't take the risk to get out of the ordinary routine, to try something else before they judge it. Some times that matter makes me feel same to be a Greek, but at least i know....and you know ;)

  • Hopefully SE will outsell Moto this year, because they really deserve it, with announcements like Satio, Aino and Yari.

  • That's because the mid/low-end users help Moto to sustain to be No. 4 and sells more phones than SE. HTC makes good high-end phones but not likely it will be within top 5 anytime soon.

  • very very nice design and good features

  • I dont know why morotola keeps making these useless phones. Loook at Nokia, Samsun, and LG.. Learn from them how to make high technology... I reckon Asus can make something better than MOTO.

  • Phone was officially released in HK for a price tag of US$200, without contract and unlock. This phone should be OEM/ODM with Benq or whoever that made VE538, as W7 uses the same Chinese text input method as VE538. (being quite different than most other Moto phones) Moto also released A1210 in HK about 3 weeks ago, though since the phone is likely only available in Asia, certain website just pretends it doesn't exists.

  • great racist people

  • can anyone tell me what is the real price of this phone because i saw 300+ but i want the correct figure... thanks...

  • When do you think Motorola will go bankrupt? After their announced 2009 phones I think it's inevitable.

  • Since this phone has big center key they could add fingerprint analyzer such as Porce design(2006) had. It wouldn't be bad at all , but then this phone would become a high end device because of it's cost ;)

  • Maybe you can view E6 (which I also use) being ahead of its time so much to the point you don't need to upgrade in the next few years. For better cam, you can bet the 5mp cam on Zn5 is one of the best in the market.

  • Whats wrong in introducing a 3.2 mp or 5 Mp camera ??? I am using a ROKR e6 and currently not finding any model to upgrade (within Moto Family) . Need to try luck with other model . And the lot will go to sony who is doing a great job right now

  • That is one warped D-pad...

  • This phone just got to be something i got to get my hands on... the features are great and specifications mad sick... love it ...

  • Before you complain so much about the specs for W7, suggest you also check out the specs of 6790 from the almighty brand.... Can't understand why people often complain about specs of mid-low end phones which are designed to compete with the high end ones from the very beginning...

  • Moto is really behind the competion.....I have one KRZR K3, but i doubt if my next phone will a Moto again....

  • love;-desin hate;-low camera power(i want above 5 megapixel) -with out rds fm -with out camera lens cover

  • nothing new from Moto.. bigger screen and higher resolution to keep up with others..

  • i love moto, go moto go i'm love in it because i'm moto wihz from allahabad.

  • CHECK THIS:

  • great phone very chic design and great features

  • man it's awesome man, good features, overall fantastic phone. it would have been even more better if the camera was 3.0 mega pixels or more. nevertheless it's a damn great phone....

  • wow... what can i say... i need music, got to love that phone ... GO MOTO...

  • For a phone , made for mid-range users there is no point in adding WiFi

  • very good job moto

  • Motorola should add both 3G and WiFi in this Phone

  • bravo motorola nice sporty phone

  • very good : Performance Features Design

  • very beautiful design great phone

  • Moto phones are so ugly. They need to work on their design.

  • I hope this phone hasn't the linux-based OS for the low-end devices(em330) but instead the original MOTOMAGX(Zn5,E8). The original suits it perfectly :)

  • - Accelerometer sensor - Turn-to-mute - Gesture control - 3g - FM radio - Fitness applications - Pedometer - Stopwatch - MotoID music recognition its my life

  • dear guys w7 is not camera phone this is for sporty activity and very good EFFICIENCY Music player and you can see low mp camera for latest MIGHTY brand like : samsung a177: vga camera ?! & samsung j165: 1.3mp sony ericsson s312: 2mp and se w205: 1.3 mp LG GD330 : 2mp htc snap : 2mp nokia 6261 : 2mp ?! wherea moto w7 has beter performance at compare all above

  • Cool design, but 2MP at this time , seems rather outdated.....My kRZR K3, has the same resolution it was made back in 2007!

  • what has happened to motorla there gunnna go off the market 8mp camera phones are needed they are shocking at the moment shape upppp

  • vow very nice design again diferent design from motorola very usefull sporty phone

  • Did you say the same thing when the almighty brand took 4 years AFTER Moto released the first 3G touchscreen device?

  • Motorocr_a_p is the new name of the company! Shame! My eye hurts, can't see clear, omg Ugliness with no features WOW...can't go lower than this! This phone is 4 years old already in term of specs!

  • simple with everything, just like anyone wants

  • very nice phone thancks moto

  • Motorola is the best. They create phones which are unique. I think this will be a success. just don't comment uselessly. JUST COMMENT AFTER YOU USE THE PHONE

  • excellent i like it sport phone 3g is good

  • Actually i wanted to write ''Mid-end devices with 3G'' SORRY :)

  • You must be joking!! This phone is great. Mid-end devices with bluetooth? Who would't want that? If it comes to Europe i'll buy one for my cousin (only because i am in another level ZN5) MOTO is the best and it's back see: ­

  • Gesture control? Does that mean you can give people the bird?

  • Gesture control......does that mean you can give people the bird?.....

  • I'll shut my month from this forum if you can even quote ONE single phone that was packed with ALL the features on W7 from 8 years ago...

  • its kind of refreshing to see that motorola no longer cares about its cellphone division. how else do u explain the same ole sub-standard crap they're pumping out? these phones would have been great maybe 8-10 years ago.

  • From the keypad design, looks like this phone might be another OEM product after VE538, which was a "low end" (afterall, W-series for Moto is LOW END, so DO NOT expect any hi-tech specs here!) phone originally cost around US$177. Just hope the quality would be improved from VE538, which didn't live with the quality of Moto...especially the lack of Moto's famous Crystal Talk, which makes a phone really a PHONE. No big surprise for others, though if the spec on this phone is correct, would W7 be the first Moto "3G" phone with radio?

  • Motorocr_a_p is the new name of the company! Shame! My eye hurts, can't see clear, omg Ugliness with no features WOW...can't go lower than this! This phone is 4 years old already in term of specs!

  • good look nice design moto

  • - Accelerometer sensor - Turn-to-mute - Gesture control - Fitness applications - Pedometer - Stopwatch - MotoID music recognition i thinck its very good phone

  • great handsome

  • very good features great sport mobile and very nice design

  • very very nice phone i certainly buy it soon thancks moto

  • no i was referring to the 2mp cam, and small amount of memory those "new" features does noting really grand. all i see a 2mp cam phone with some features not much people will even care about...big wow..... i loved motorola, i remember thinking my v505 was the hottest phone out back in the day, but after all these years i expect/hope to see something better than an improved cam and the few things you mentioned (some of which is pretty standard for other brands) other than the zn5, motorola isn't doing that great in features or design, everytime i see a new phone i get all excited then after watching the specs i'm disappointed...... i'm going to buy the good phone (zn5) though, hopefully we'll see more like those soon

  • Motorocr_a_p is the new name of the company! Shame! My eye hurts, can't see clear, omg Ugliness with no features WOW...can't go lower than this!

  • I LOVE MOTO...:) This Phone Haz All The Goodies.....

  • Man, I can't believe Motorola is still in the game... but I'm sure not for long if they keep coming up with cr@p like this!

  • Aw come on Motorola. Your better than this. Wheres the spirit of the E398? The crazy randomness with doses of technical innovation that we expect from you? And 2 mpx.? Come on.

  • now that's very ugly (fashion designer)

  • - Accelerometer sensor - Turn-to-mute - Gesture control?? You think same phoens with same technology its housing ???? ok you funny ....

  • hmm, motorola seems to just keep bringing out the same phones in different housings. kind of disappointing since i loved their phones and had high hopes after the zn5 came out

  • i think this phone should be free cause there is nothing on it , 30 mb memory 2 mpix camera definetly should be free

  • it looks like el71...

  • First !!! Nice slide phone

  • First!!!!!
