Motorola W220

It's an appaling excuse for a mobile phone. It is awful, and it is not even something which should be considered as a last resort. For anyone thinking of getting this phone, I have one word for you: NO!

If you have any other opinions for this phone, please feel free to keep them to yourself.

The Motorola W220 is a phone that I use every day. It ' s cheap reliable and the battery life astounds me for such a cheap handset. It ' s the first flip cover phone that I ' ve had and it has saved the screen from my usual scratches and scrapes. Thinking of buying one? Just go out a buy it, it ' s a steal.

It does what it says on the tin. It's a mobile/cell Telephone with a few extras. For my money, it's well designed to meet the needs of the market it was designed for -- 10/10.

This phone is small, compact, stylish and does all the things I want it to do except getting a personal picture on it. But other than that this budget Motorola performs well.

I got this for about £30 which included £5 credit. The battery life is brilliant and so are the main functions. Once you get used to the Motorola way of using a phone (after using Nokia and Samsung) this phone will do fine for what a phone is made for: makes calls and text. If you want more such as MP3's and cameras this is not the phone for you, otherwise go for it!

Many people that see my phone believe this is a state of the art phone due to its sleek design. It's black and thin and does look cool. So for design it's brilliant.

Overall a great basic phone that does fine when you just want a phone for calling, texting and an alarm clock.

It is a great phone if you are looking to be in fashion with out spending a great deal.

Overall I think the Motorola W220 is quite good and I would recommend it to a friend.

This phone was released in New Zealand about 3 months ago, and I got one maybe 2 weeks after that. In NZ these phones only come in Black, or pink with mirrored front where status icons are. This phone has no external screen, but instead has 3 icons alerting user to incoming/missed calls(green phone for known caller, or orange for unknown), text/picture messages (blue envelope), and low battery (orange battery shape). When I first saw this phone I thought its design to be excellant, it was slim and narrow so fits well in a pocket, no external aerial, and inside it has a very cool 1 piece rubber keypad, with nice blue backlighting. It was quite highly priced for its features, one would be better to get a V3 as they are only a little more, but I guess that the high price reflects its a new model phone, and its price is already coming down. I then went and bought one, and initially was very impressed with what it could do for a low end phone. It can hold 250 text messages which is quite good compared to some other phones I've had. It has 3 built in games which are also good fun. One game is like a budget 2 on 2 version of worms. Call quality was very good, and battery life was also very good. But I use predictive texting and thats where this phone comes unstuck. It is very slow at keeping up what what is being entered, and I can get 4 letters ahead in less than 3 words. When this happens the phone either usually stops, or garbles up what I'm entering. The other texting problem is that you can write 5 full texts worth at once and send it as 1 large message, but each "new" text (of ~160 characters) further slows down the phone to the point it only can cope with 1 charactor entered per second. I tolerated this for a while, as otherwise its a great phone, but after 2 months I couldn't take it any longer so I bought a Motorola V3 and its so much better.

Overall this is a great looking phone, and I reckon if your not a heavy texter or speed texter than its worth buying, but if slow phones annoy you like they do me then its best avoided.

Motorola W220 is a nice stylish phone, looks good in black and hopefully will stand up to the knocks better than my last phone. Compact and understated for those who don't like to sit in company and play with your phone to try and impress people.
