Motorola W220

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 ...
...for this one, well the Motorola W220. Well how could i not it was PINK!!! :o) And only £40.00 so that was really quite a bargain, well compared to the prices of the other phones, So went off the pay for it and was pleasantly surprised to be told it was only £25.00. Well I had to get it now didn't I would have been a fool not too. So after waiting for what seemed like ages (as I'm sure you know what Argos is like, even though your told it'll only ...

Review of Motorola W220

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 ...
...shiny inset area with the Motorola logo and spaces where three symbols can light up as necessary. The top one is a call symbol which tells you when your phone is ringing (as well as the more usual ring) in green and in yellow when you have a missed call. The symbol underneath is an envelope which lights up in blue when you have a text message and the final and bottom one is a battery which flashes when it is getting low on juice and lights up constantly ...

Review of Motorola W220

...it was. I found the Motorola W220 I saw that it is a flip phone, these type of phones are my favorite and the phone is very cheap it cost me £12. At a first glance online the phone did look very good and it has very good value for money considering other phones in the same price range. The phone arrived and is very impressive for a budget phone. For starters the phone looks very nice it does not feel like it has been made with cheap parts it feels ...
...on the top of the phone. The phone is light weight and does not have a brick feeling to it which phones for this price can sometimes have. The only complaint that I really have with the way that it looks is the screen is very small, it's smaller than you think however this does only take a little getting used to. I think my favorite thing about the phone is the mobile phone is the built in screen at the top of the phone because it flashes here when ...

Review of Motorola W220

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 ...
...you need to have the Motorola headphones with you). I have also found that the battery life on the phone is relatively good. The Motorola website states that it has a standby time upto 290 hours and talk time upto 8 hours, figures that I believe are not too far off the reality. This means it can comfortably run for a few days before being recharged. However, for me perhaps the biggest drawback to this phone is the screen size and colour quality. ...

Review of Motorola W220

...you get the feeling that Motorola have been careful to downgrade every individual aspect of the phone to avoid it harming others in the range. I think that's the wrong way round. I mentioned the plastic volume rocker on the outside: well, that's a perfect example - the only jarring note of tacky quality in an otherwise crystal-clear exterior. Good. Great, compared to some of the nasty and break-prone budget phones out there. And recommended, but ...

Review of Motorola W220

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 ...
...mobile phone. I have to admit that I've tried texting on it to impress my daughter and it has easy to follow the prompts even though I'm rubbish at it and still not past using one finger circling the keyboard for each letter. Simply raising or lowering the cover answers / ends the call. Not a huge choice on pre-programmed ringtones, but if you don't like them, volume control easy to adjust with a vibrate function for secrecy. There are a minimal ...

Review of Motorola W220

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. ...

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 ...

Review of Motorola W220

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 ...
...resembles motorolla's Razr. The outside is made from smooth plastic on the front and grippy rubber on the back. The front has light-up LED notifiers, for calls, battery, and texts. Even though the screen is rather small, the interface is easy to follow and using the phone feels very good. The buttons light up due to the blue LED backlight, and look very stylish. Overall this is an amazing budget phone. ...

...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 with basic features and a good design, Motorola W220 it's just the perfect thing for you. ...

Review of Motorola W220

Introduction Motorola W220 is an entry-level model bundled with FM-radio, coming in clamshell form-factor. As you might have already guessed, if Motorola creates a folding phone, why shouldn't it apply its overwhelmingly successful Motorola RAZR's curves? And this has proven worthy, as the very presence of similarities to the RAZR design-wise draws attention to a handset. On top of that, Motorola's design director, Ignacio Germade, answering our ...
...only 93 grams in weight, Motorola W220 slips in almost any pocket. The entire casing is made of high-grade plastic; the assembling quality hasn't revealed any serious flows either. The model comes only in one trim, which is a combination of black with silver. While the silvery surface fells smooth and not easily soiled, the framings in black are glossy and get dirty in no time, so you will have to clear them after each conversation. The handset ...
