Motorola W220 Review
Phone rating: 
Review: December 2006.
The Motorola W220 is a budget addition to the popular RAZR clamshell
family. Featuring Motorola's now familiar flat keypad with cool blue
backlighting, the W220 is a bargain basement phone with limited features.
There's no camera, no music player and the screen is a basic colour
display with a low resolution. However, there is an FM radio that can
be listened to via the speakerphone, or using optional stereo headphones.
For someone looking for a basic phone with an attractive design, the
W220 could be a good choice. This is virtually the only clamshell phone
in this price range. Be aware that this is not a superslim phone like
the Motorola RAZR, but it's still compact
and lightweight. The closest competitor is probably the Nokia
2310, which comes in a traditional candy bar shape rather than a
clamshell.
Features of the Motorola W220 include:
- Display: CSTN, 65,000 colours, 128 x 128 pixels
- FM radio
- iMelody ringtone composer
- Speakerphone
- Messaging: SMS, EMS, MMS
- Downloadable Games
- Calculator, Calendar, Currency Converter, Alarm
- Web browser
- WAP 2.0, GPRS Class 8
- Memory: 0.5 Mbytes
- Dual band
- Size: 95 x 47 x 17 mm
- Weight: 93
- Talktime: 500 minutes
- Battery standby: 290 hours

when the W220 came onto the market Iwas staying in ENGLAND and was given
a motorola w220 for my birthday. well not only was I converted from
being a nokia fan but that little w220 became the most important and
precious part of my life. Two years ago I was diagnosed with Motor Neuron
Disease [ALS] and within a year I had lost the abilty to talk.My amazing
motorola w220 has been my main source of communication for the last
year. It fits in the palm of my right hand and I operate the keys with
my thumb to ether send a text message [sms] or merely hand the phone
to whoever I am 'talking' to and they read off the screen.The only problem
is that it is finally nearing the end of its life [ literally held together
with elastoplast. Iknow by now to most people the w220 is a thing of
the past but maybe you guys have the contacs to track down onor two
of those amazing motorola creations [dont mind how battered they are]

Peter, you have probably already tried places like ebay, so all we can
suggest is that you widen your search to consider one of the other Motorola
RAZR-style models. There were many similar ones and they are all available
very cheaply now.

As my cell had been stoled i needed a new cell, so i was thinking of
buying another Nokia cell, but when i was this one i couldn't switch
to any other cell.. Its very very reasonable n very friendly user. Radio
is excellent..Ringtones are quiet attracting. N the most inportant thing
is the SMS memory its excellent i mean in such a rate we wont get so
much space.......right. Overall its an superb cell

Needed to replace my phone as stolen and just wanted something to call/
text on! It does lack extras that many phones these days such as camera,
MP3 etc! However I carry my camera and my ipod with me so I didn't need
these! Looks good and seems to work well... Only had a week so can't
comment too much! The only downside is that it does tend to pick up
grease..I have the black so not too bad but I don't think I would suggest
pink or silver for this reason. Also radio is great!

I found this web site because I wanted to see if anybody else was suffering
the problems that I have. On the whole, the phone performs excellent
and I get over a week between charges even with reasonable call usage.
But it has inexplicably powered down a couple of times when I have tried
to answer a call (really annoying!!); and a couple of times I have flipped
it open to see the message "Enter PIN code", as though it has done a
reset. Since only one of the comments below hints at anything like these
problems, I think I just have a bad one. Other minor gripe: I sometimes
find that the battery cover starts to slip off by itself. But overall,
great for the price.

I have had this phone for several months, and found it to be really
good. Although this phone doesn't have a lot of fancy extras like a
camera or mp3 player they my old phone had, I have found that I actaully
use the fm radio more than I ever used the more advanced functions on
my other phone! The battery life seems fine to me, it has a nice looking
design (several people have commented about how nice it looks, and are
always surprised when they hear how cheap it is!) It also seems to be
pretty robust! It's survived me dropping it many times. The only downside
is that is it rather slow to text with. If you try to text too quickly
then it gets confused and can't cope. Other than that, I would say that
for the price it's really good, and cheap but stylish phone, then this
is a great choice.

I am very impressed. It is solid, small and neat, looks good and is
easy to use. Sound quality good with lots of ringtones. It does not
have a camera or bluetooth and the screen is low res, but the phone
is under £30. I would n't mind one myself! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED BASIC

I'm sick of buying gimmicky phones that barely last days until they

9 months now still works as good as the day I got it and despite not
being incredibly careful with it, it has resisted scratches and chipped
paint, (which all my friends expensive *good quality* phones have) Would
recommend this phone to anyone, easy to use and for the £20 odd quid

fone thats fuss free, makes calls (well it is a phone) texts and has

thats not pretending to be a £200 phone that some morons who buy it
want it to be. A good honest little phone.

Love the fact that it is not a razr which in my mind is too metal. Love
the flip mode. Although no camera - you can send pics and load them
as screensavers. Only downsides - slow predictable text and you have
to open it to see who is calling as there is no visible screen on outside
- for the price - it is a great wee phone.

Great phone for those looking for a phone to simply make and receive
calls and messages. Motorola has developed a phone for a specific target
audience and it delivers. Solid build quality and good battery life.
It is also small and light. Big, clear text and keypad, which is great
for old people such as my grandmother, who really loves her W220 I bought
for her. Being a flip-phone, it is handy for those who forget to push
a button to hang up or leave the phone in their pocket/bags and don't
realise a button is accidentally pushed (yes, grandma, that refers to
you too). Menus are kept simple although Motorola still need to work
on user-friendliness. It is also rather sluggish.

For a simple functional phone this is excellent. Good ergonomic design
and pretty much covers the bases for a deecnt basic phone. I tend to
use an ipod for my mp3s and an SLR for my photos, the lack of extras
therefore don't bother me. The long battery life and ease of use make
this excellent. Highly recommended if you just want to buy a mobile
phone and not have to pay for functions you don't use.

i hav a w220 and i personly dont like them. dont get me wrong they look
alright and i like the way that when u get a message or a call. A icon
lights up on the front(which when is not lit up is invisible). But i
want a phone such as the sony ericsson w810i that can be connected up
to your pc and can play lots of songs. Which is not as expensive as
the nokia 8800.Overall the w220 is a stylish and cool but does not contain
enough. It is good for the price, but they could of at least contained
a basic song player. I give it 3 stars because it is not amazing for
gadgets but looks quite attractive.

and a refreshing change from the usual bling. I had intended to buy
a RAZR but the W220 looks a lot smarther IMHO. I can live without the
VGA camera. The user interface is highly configurable, battery life

This phone is the best because one has to always check the SAR (specific

low SAR unlike other mobiles and the rating is 0.6 it means this affects
less on ones health.If you are looking for long conversations on mobile
always do buy this brand.

cheapest possible calls). Don't need an mp3 or camera, just want something
thats 1. stylish 2. light & slim 3. good on battery life. I've found
that with the W220. 1 thing that marks it down slightly is the lack
of external display. All in all just what the doctor ordered!!!

I bought this phone for my wife at Christmas. Personally phones with
camera and bluetooth are the type of thing that I look for in a phone.
For my wife, on the other hand, the simpler the better and for this
purpose the W220 is the best phone I have come across. The price, size,
easy to use menu and battery life are all excellent. The only thing
I have to moan about is the alert tones. You have only a few preset
ones to choose from and they are quiet and short. Quite often my wife
fails to hear a text when it’s in her handbag or in a public place,
It would have been nice to select one of the many loud ring tones for
a text alert. If you want good looks, simplicity, reliability, this
is the phone to go for.

I've been looking for a few mths for a "value" phone, - as I have "drowned"
several out sailing in the Solent. This is a really great little phone.
No camera/MP3 etc.... so what!!!!!!!!!1 It has ex. large keyboard, great
FM radio thru good earphones or the phones own speakers. If you just
want a fairly cool looking, light & easy to use phone - look no further.
I can't believe the price. Look at the spec. & it has WAP. BUY ONE

first i would like to delete what i said last time, but i cant. ok this
phone is cheap right and works quite well. when i first bought it (1
month ago) i was really impressed, but now i am seeing that you can
get better phones for the same price or less. this phone has no camera,
mp3, bluetooth or other features, all it has is a "radio". i would recomend
getting the nokia 6101 instead or the motorola l6.all in all if you
want just a phone get this.

got a w220 for my wife and am very impressed for the price. Feels really
solid and buttons are easy to use. screen isn't very high resolution
but is more than clear enough. only reason i won't be getting one is
the lack of bluetooth and thats only due to having a car kit. unless
you need a camera or mp3 phone the only useful thing i can see missing
is the outside screen so you can see who's calling.

Although this is a basic phone I find I am using it more than my K1
or N73. I have not used the camera feature on any of my camera phones
nor am I interested in listening to music from a cellphone. What I want
is a phone to be used as a phone and the W220 fits into this excellently.
You can also set the SMS delivery report to be always "on" which I am
surprised is not capable in the K1. For a basic phone it should be able
to have at least a week's standy time like the Nokia 2610 which is the
other phone in this category. I have always used Moto, Nokia and the
old Ericsson phones and find that generally Nokias have longer standby
time while Motos have clearer and louder voice.

I bought this fone last two weeks and it works very well...sometimes
one specific key is not functioning properly but all you need to do
is to turn off the phone and press it 500 times (lol, that will make
sure no rust or dirt will be in the way when you press the specific
key. Feature wise, this fone is not at far but it has a decent RADIO
and Battery Life. It lasted for about 4 days with minimum usage. What
good about this is that it has looks eventhough it's inexpensive...I've
got it for 5,500 pesos here in the PH. It gets strong signals and the
voice quality is the same as Nokias. Buy the black one...it looks more
professional and people sometimes think that you are holding a V3...looks
can be deceiving...my fone...girls find it cute and sexy. Buy it...you
will not regret it. By the way, this is my first Motorola fone and find
the fonts very unique...they looked like handwritten and not robotic
unlike Nokias and SEs. If you are on a tight budget and only needs a
phone that is reliable for calling and texting...then go for this one.

The most simple phone i have ever owned, but yet a stylish and modern
phone in looks. I purchased this phone for 30 pounds and i must say
what a deal. I asked myself do i realy need a camera?,do i need a mp3
player?. Well no you dont; i have often thought a radio would be good,
I have owned all the mp3 players on phones and a few weeks later a new
one comes out. This phone is yet modern and stylish the led light work
lovely. For 30 pounds a great but!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! a must for all people
and with a radio buy buy buy.
