    4 Stars Hello Moto......very Original I Know 16/01/2008
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Cheap, Nice and easy, its PINK!!, Not only pink, Black too, Built in radio

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Not many functions, although does what it says on the tin

    After my Motorola V500 decide to break down on me last year, I was in desperate need to get a new phone, especially as the kids are at school now and I need to be able to be contacted at all times. Thing is it decided to break down when I was very low on funds lol (funny that, how appropriate) so Obviously I was on a budget and was limited to what I was able to get. Time for our trusted friend the Argos book :o) I flicked through to the Phone pages and found a few that i liked, (well they may not have been my first choices but were within budget) so we hoped in the car and went straight over ... more

    3 Stars Cheap and Cheerful, or Just Cheap and Nasty? 03/12/2007
    User doesn't recommend the product

    Advantages Advantages Inexpensive, small and simple.

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Infuriatingly bad at simple tasks.

    The motorola W220 is only my second motorola, and my first budget motorola. Well, being a girl… I chose a pink one. Yes, that's right, pink. However, it does come in other colours - silver and black. So I will start with the design. The phone is a clamshell design, which has a slight resemblance to the much more expensive Motorola RAZR V3. However, it is much bulkier - although hardly large, it just doesn't have that extra cool slimness of its more expensive brothers (mobile phones seem to me to be male - just a thought, not really relevant). Also unlike the superphones, it has no screen on ... more

    4 Stars Motorola really rings with a good budget mobile Review with images 16/03/2009
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Looks very good, very durable, battery lasts for a long time both for standby and talk time

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Not many features, looks plain and simple

    I had to get a phone when my Samsung U600 decided to brake for the second time. I thought my best option was to buy a new phone because it was the second time that my Samsung had broken and the first time it had been a pain finding a shop to fix it and then paying for the phone to be fixed when I could buy a new one for the same price as getting my old phone repaired. I set out and had a look on the current mobile phone market, I was pretty skint when my Samsung broke so I decided that I did not care about a very impressive phone with features like a camera or mp3 ringtones. The simple fact ... more

    4 Stars W220 - Fab phone or failure? 12/04/2007
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Price, appearance, size and intergrated FM radio

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Screen size and quality, unable to download media files

    I purchased the Motorola W220 approximately 4 months ago, to replace my previous Motorola V547, which had recently broken. Being someone who cannot go 10 minutes without a mobile and short of money at the time, I quickly decided upon the W220, that I would use purely on a temporary basis until a 'more suitable' replacement could be purchased. However, after 4 months I have yet to find reasonable justification to replace the phone, however as with all budget priced models there are issues with this phone that I personally find annoying. Firstly the advantages. For me the biggest advantage of ... more

    3 Stars A likeable but not a loveable budget phone 28/05/2007
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Quality head and shoulders above the (budget) field

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Too many irritating compromises

    The eyecatching W220 starts with the slick Razr, makes it a bit smaller and value engineers it down to a budget price, but retaining the high quality robust feel of so many budget flip-type phones. The first impression is the clean mirror-finish black front panel, within a silver, pink or black surround. Normally it's plain black, but three indicators for call, text or low battery illuminate appropriately so that one glance tells you about anything you need to know. Also visible on the sides are the power and headphone sockets, and a plastic strip rocker volume switch. The back is smooth and ... more

    4 Stars ET phone home 02/09/2008
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Stylish, robust and has all basic functions plus FM radio

    Disadvantages Disadvantages No camera, small buttons.

    Bought two of these from the Carphone Warehouse about nine months ago where they were on offer - worked out at £25 each but I suppose these would now be classed as old models. Firstly, if you are into gadgets that can do all and sundry then this phone would probably not be for you, I simply wanted a phone primarily to use for emergencies. It is not too bulky and very robust with the keys and screen protected by the flip up cover. This phone is ideal for someone who wants a simple and easy to use mobile phone. I have to admit that I've tried texting on it to impress my daughter and it has easy ... more

    5 Stars Quick review of Motorola W220 by grimdeath18 11/01/2008
    One of the best low end color mobiles out there. My craze for clamshell phones led me to buy this one. Looks stylish and satisfies the basic color phone requirements. Only drawback is that one cannot connect the phone to a PC for transferring images.

    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages cheap, easy, cue

    Disadvantages Disadvantages none

    I bought this phone for my other half, he doesn't want any fancy phone just one to call and send a text now and again. That was a brilliant phone for him easy to understand, easy to use and also the flip keep it safe. highly recommended if you are looking for a simple, cute phone it's black and you can easily put it in your pocket you won't dial a number by mistake. It hasn't got all the gagets you have on the new ones but it is very good for anyone who just phone or text. Another avantage is it is very cheap actually, my other half is really happy with it and it will suit anyone even ... more

    4 Stars Cheap, but mighty. 26/08/2009
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Affordable, Stylish

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Absence of most modern day phone features.

    The Motorolla W220 is one of the best budget phones I have ever had the pleasure of using. It only costs 4 GBP, however, it is packed with lots of useful features which compensates for the absence of a camera, and the rather small screen. This is a dual band phone, and takes one sim card. The battery life is more than enough of a bisy caller, texter and will easily recharge overnight. The styling makes this phone truily unique: instead of getting a 'brick' phone, you get a flip phone that lightly resembles motorolla's Razr. The outside is made from smooth plastic on the front and grippy rubber ... more

    3 Stars Motorola W220 12/04/2008
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Good design, FM Radio

    Disadvantages Disadvantages no camera, no data cable

    I didn't used for a long time this phone, not because I didn't like it, but because I found something better. About this one I can say it looks good considering that it's cheap (it only cost about $20 ), the FM radio it's OK, you can store up radio stations and easily reach them. The battery power it's great and if that is what you're looking for, than this is the phone that you should buy. However, there are some disadvantages about this model. It doesn't have a camera, it doesn't allow you to download MP3s and it has no Data cable for computer. So, if you want a cheap, easy-to-use cellphone ... more
