Motorola WX290 - User Reviews

  • good phone

  • How to put password on his phone ?

  • It is very good phone,keeping in view its price which is very low,but it is unfortunate that motorola does not launch new basic handsets with new features as innovation.I wrote many times to Motorola customer care to update their basic handsets with new features like wireless microphone(FM microphone)to make it attractive,but all in vain.

  • good phone! Very cheap now!

  • This phone supports AT commands?

  • It has a Lantern \0/

  • This phone supports 2GB Micro SD Card but in UAE minimum capacity avaialable is 4GB. Three sales man have given 3 diff. opinions: 1. you can put 4 GB on this phone but cannot load that card for more than 50%. 2. you can put 4 GB on this phone but the phone will become very slow. 3. Putting a card for 4 GB will not serve the purpose. So, search for a 2 GB. Can anyone please advise. Thanks in advance.

  • its too low and playing music

  • hi,readers this is wonderful mobile, in reasonable price no one company give you this type of mobile.............

  • u must be joking the cell absolutely good and very much good in voice quality and hearing better than nokia

  • press and hold 5 key

  • It's not a good phone, Not able to hear or speak clearly, My voice is echoing when i speak and i hear my echo..

  • It is very cute and handy. facilities available is sufficient to its price. Good thought to have anice one having the facilities in least price.

  • Some of the comments are really funny. Someone has stated that camera quality is poor whereas other stated wap is not working well etc etc. If you are buying 40 dollar worth and phone is it reasonable to expect 12 mega pixel cam or hi fi net ??. This is a basic phone and works well .Dont' expect to get Benz while you are paying for Toyota.

  • This is not so nice or so bad, though, its a basic phone dont expect too much from this. It has decent battery lasts for almost 2 days, sound quality acceptable, camera VGA, the worst thing is GPRS, its only works with some networks in India. Moreover, its very compact. Finally,its worth for the money.

  • Great phone, very low price but usb only for charge, not for files transference. wishes of new year!

  • You can use the flashlight by pressing and holding the key 5.

  • Can't find the flashlight and the pixels for the camera is terrible.

  • my mobile Motorola WX290 coming arabic letter how can i make to english letter?

  • purchased wx290,whre is flash light,sound is v poor,cam ok 4 price,no volm contrs,not men in booklet,not supptg music.

  • yes but sound is not clear. waste

  • does it have mp3 player and flashlight?

  • moto is the 1st mobile in the world mind it pal........

  • Please review this phone. A comparative review vs. Nokia C1-01 (as those are the most inexpensive phones with card slot and camera) would be great.

  • It would be great to have it reviewed. It's one of the most inexpensive phones with camera and card slot. In Argentina it costs less than 50 US dollars (SIM-free) or less than 40 US dollars (Prepaid), thus making it the cheapest cameraphone with expandalbe memory. I think it deserves to be reviewed. I know the camera is terrible, but still...

  • very bad fone ! poor headfone quality ! sound not gud ! camera quality rubbish ! no flash ! no zoom ! idiotic games ! no facility for downloading games ! all in all a wastage of money which I did !

  • Hi. I dont't see too much information about this model, so I have some answers: 1) Battery (how long does it last, aproximately?) 2) Screen (It's o.k.? I mean size of numbers/letters, etc.) 3) Sound (Is it good?) What about the headphones? 4) Camera(Photographs are acceptable? Or it doesn't worth the camera?) 5)PC connection (for mp3, photos. What kind of connection does it have? How can I transfer music to the phone, or photos to the PC?) I would really appreciate all the information you can give. Pro an cons of this model. Thanks.

  • what is cost of it or other phone in less cost with same features

  • u go for ugly 2690 i want buy this phone ex290

  • Go for nokia 2690 instead of this because of high expandable memory and edge also. But for motorola lover like me go for this.

  • Go for nokia 2690 instead of this!!

  • When it comes to the looks department Motorola doestn disappoint. But i still think they couldve done better with this model. i am a hardcore Motorola fan but i am not 100% impressed with this model

  • shud be the cheapest phone on ths earth :-p

  • Flashlight but no camera flash? Lol, anyway looks cool. If a low price as a pay as you go phone, I'm sure it will catch on worldwide. Bluetooth, radio, SD support, and neat looking, I like the red backlighting.
