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

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 that I could not live without my mobile phone so I needed one and did not particularly care about what phone 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 sturdy when you hold it and has a nice finish 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 somebody is ringing you, when you get a text and when your mobile phone is charging.

The phone lacks features but you can expect this with budget phones. The features include Calculator,Calender,Shortcuts,Chat,STK,Lantern.
Most phones have these features and their is nothing special in terms of features. The phone has some built in games which are quite entertaining.

Football This is a little above view football game and is quite fun.

Rebels
This is the space fighter game that every phone has the graphics are not great but it's a fun game.

Crazy This is a game based on the game worms where you have to kill the other team.

Overall This is a very good phone, if you are looking for a cheap phone then this is your answer. If you buy this phone you won't be getting a flash top of the range mobile phone but you will be buying a phone that looks nice and works as a mobile phone for texting and ringing people. You can trust that this phone won't brake and will last for years.
